Men’s skin is different. That is where we start.

Typically thicker, with greater oil production and a denser collagen structure. Surface pH and patterns of ageing can differ too. These characteristics matter when designing skincare around men’s needs.

A peer-reviewed review of 57 studies examined these differences and highlighted their relevance to developing skincare for men and women.

YCODE formulates with men’s skin in mind. Each product has a defined role: the Hydrating Face Serum supports hydration, tone and texture. The Mattifying Moisturiser helps retain moisture and reduce unwanted shine. The Advanced Eye Serum helps soften the appearance of dark circles, puffiness and fine lines.

Three products. One system. Designed for men’s skin.

More oil doesn’t mean your skin needs less moisture. It means you need the right moisturiser.

Men’s skin can produce roughly twice as much oil as women’s skin, making heavy creams and greasy formulas less than ideal for everyday use.

As Tyler demonstrates, the YCODE Mattifying Moisturiser keeps things simple. Its lightweight formula absorbs quickly, helping control excess shine while delivering the hydration your skin needs.

No greasy finish. No unnecessary steps. Just comfortable, hydrated skin with a natural matte look that lasts throughout the day.

Good skincare doesn’t need more steps. It needs the right ones.

For men dealing with excess oil, dehydration, uneven skin texture or the first signs of ageing, a consistent daily routine can make a noticeable difference. The key is keeping skin hydrated, balanced and comfortable without adding unnecessary complexity.

The YCODE Daily Essentials bring together two products designed to work as one simple system.

The Hydrating Face Serum delivers lightweight hydration with hyaluronic acid and glycerin, helping skin retain moisture and appear smoother and fresher. Niacinamide supports the skin’s protective barrier and helps improve the appearance of uneven tone and texture.

Follow with the Mattifying Moisturiser. Rice starch helps absorb excess surface oil and reduce unwanted shine, while hydrating ingredients help maintain moisture and keep skin feeling soft and comfortable. The result is a natural matte finish without the dryness or heaviness.

Apply the serum to clean skin, then follow with the moisturiser. Morning and evening, two straightforward steps that fit into The Two Minutes That Count™.

Less time at the sink. More consistency in your routine.

Your skin isn't the same as the next man's, and it isn't the same today as it was last week.

The actives in this respond to what's happening. Your environment, your body, the moment you're applying it, rather than doing one fixed thing regardless.

Oil control without stripping. Most mattifying products get there by pulling moisture out, which is why your face feels tight by three.

This one handles the surface oil as it appears and keeps the hydration underneath, matte that holds, without the weight.

81% said it absorbs with no greasy film.

Your skin might look fine in the mirror, but under a camera or bright lighting, excess shine can become much more noticeable.

Men’s skin generally produces twice as much oil than women’s, which can lead to oily areas across the forehead, nose and cheeks. For most men, this means unwanted shine throughout the day, especially in photographs, video calls or when being filmed.

This was one of the concerns we wanted to address when developing the YCODE Mattifying Moisturiser. The goal wasn’t to remove oil completely or leave skin looking unnaturally flat. It was to create a moisturiser that delivers hydration while maintaining a natural, balanced matte finish.

Warmed between the palms first, then pressed in. Not rubbed, your face isn't a windscreen.

A few drops while your skin's still slightly damp, and it's gone before you've picked anything else up. No tack, no residue, nothing sitting on top.

88% said their skin felt hydrated after the first use.

A two-minute morning routine that actually sticks.

James keeps it simple with YCODE Mattifying Moisturiser. Fast-absorbing hydration, no greasy residue, and a fresh matte finish.

Because good skincare shouldn't feel like extra work.

Two Minutes at the Sink. That's all it takes.

Your skin can produce excess oil and still need hydration. The right moisturiser should address both, without leaving your face looking shiny or feeling dry.

The YCODE Mattifying Moisturiser is formulated for men’s skin, combining microalgae, rice starch and peptides to help balance oil, refine the appearance of pores and support the skin’s protective barrier.

Rice starch helps absorb excess surface oil for a natural matte finish, while marine-derived ingredients and peptides support hydration and skin condition, keeping your face feeling soft and comfortable throughout the day.

The result is smoother-looking, balanced skin with a lightweight finish that doesn’t feel heavy or greasy.

Apply a small amount to your face and neck each morning and evening as part of The Two Minutes That Count™.

Matte, never dry.
