Frequently Asked Questions about Oxy

Face care: I can't prevent acne even after washing my face. What should I do?

Acne progresses due to clogged pores. Acne bacteria multiply by feeding on sebum that clogs the pores, causing inflammation.
If you can stop the process at some point, you can prevent acne. For more information about acne, please visit the "Men's Skin Research" page.

Facial Care: Why do pores sometimes appear dark and noticeable?

Blackheads in pores can appear black because sebum clogged in the pores absorbs dirt or oxidizes.

Body care: Why does my skin still feel sticky even after sweat dries?

When you sweat, sebum is also produced. Sebum is a natural oil that your skin naturally has, and it is secreted from the sebaceous glands in your pores.
Sweat is water, so it dries, but sebum is oil, so it remains on the skin as "sebum residue." This is what causes stickiness.

Body care: How can I stay smooth and dry all day long?

Using "OXY® Cooling Deodorant Shower," which contains micropowder that absorbs sebum and sweat, before going out will keep your skin feeling fresh and comfortable throughout the day.

Body care: Why do some people have body odor while others don't?

The amount and composition of sweat vary from person to person. Therefore, the intensity of body odor also differs from person to person.

Body care: Why does sweat smell bad?

Freshly produced sweat is odorless, but if you leave sweat on your body, odor-causing bacteria will break it down and produce an unpleasant smell.

Body care: Can odor be prevented?

To prevent body odor, it is recommended to keep your skin clean by using "Oxy® Deo Shower," which suppresses odor at its source with its antiperspirant and antibacterial effects.

Men's skin: Do men need skincare too?

Men's skin tends to become dry from daily shaving and hardened from UV exposure.
Furthermore, men tend to produce more sebum than women, so many likely struggle with oily skin. Men's skin is surprisingly prone to irritation, and requires care tailored to its specific characteristics.

Men's skin: Why is men's skin oilier than women's?

When male hormone secretion becomes activated during puberty or becomes excessive due to stress, a large amount of oil (sebum) is secreted. At the same time, the keratin at the opening of the pores thickens, blocking the pores. As a result, acne-causing bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) inside the pores multiply, causing inflammation and leading to acne.
