 In today's new lifestyle, opportunities to look directly at one's face on screen during online meetings and time spent at home have increased. As a result, men have become aware of the impression they make on screen and specific skin issues they may have. Against this background, the men's skin care market grew by 5% year on year.*3 "Spots" and "wrinkles" in particular are a concern to older men. They acknowledge that their awareness of their skin has increased recently. They are concerned about preventing age spots and what they can do about fine wrinkles due to dryness, and they do not want people around them to think that they are old. While they want to age in a fashionable manner, they do not want to have to spend a lot of time on skin care. Therefore, a pre-sale launch of Uno Dual Effect Cream (quasi-drug), the men's high-performance cream for treating spots and making fine dry wrinkles inconspicuous by simply applying the cream to the areas of concern, was conducted in early May 2021 by a number of companies. Due to its popularity, the product will be released nationwide from September 2021. The cream contains m-tranexamic acid*5, an active ingredient for preventing spots*4and roughening of the skin. The cream also contains collagen GL*6 as an ingredient for preventing dryness. The cream is also effective in making fine wrinkles due to dryness less noticeable*2. It is not only easy to apply to areas of concern but also with regular use will prevent spots and make fine dry wrinkles inconspicuous, leading to a distinguished-looking older adult male.
