OCHER's First Offline Pop-Up in Nagoya

In just eight short months since its inception, OCHER, a prominent men's cosmetics brand, is making waves in the beauty industry by hosting its inaugural offline pop-up event at JR Nagoya Takashimaya. Scheduled from February 4 to February 17, this unique event coincides perfectly with the upcoming Valentine’s season.

A Fresh Approach to Gifting for Men

For this special occasion, OCHER aims to introduce a novel gifting experience centered around the concept of giving beauty products to men. In a market traditionally dominated by chocolates during Valentine’s Day, OCHER is shifting the paradigm by offering practical and self-care oriented gifts. Highlights include the brand's debut original pouch and exclusive gift shopper, tailored specifically for the Valentine’s audience.

This pop-up marks a significant leap for OCHER, a brand that has already earned recognition through multiple awards for its innovative approach to men’s skincare. Building upon its D2C origins, OCHER seeks to elevate the customer experience by focusing on physical interactions and curated gifting proposals.

A Bloomberg in Awards and Recognition

Since birth, OCHER has not only made a name in online platforms but also won four prestigious men’s cosmetics awards. This has been attributed to its unique ability to blend functionality with emotional appeal, resonating well with today's male consumers. OCHER's brand director, Hiroki Hattori, comments on the importance of gifting during Valentine’s: “Our survey indicates that about 30% of men are seeking alternatives to chocolates, illustrating a shift in gifting choices. Approximately 55% are supportive of gifting male grooming products, signifying acceptance of skincare as a thoughtful gift.”

The JR Nagoya Takashimaya pop-up will showcase:

• - Exclusive Valentine’s Gift Sets: Featuring products designed with male consumers in mind, ensuring ease of gifting and practicality.
• - OCHER's Signature Serum: A cutting-edge all-in-one skincare serum, custom formulated for men.

Unveiling Unique Products

The pop-up will feature several key products, including:

• - Original Gift Pouch: A first for the brand designed for practicality and mobility.

Together, these items underpin OCHER's philosophy of integrating skincare seamlessly into daily routines for men, ensuring they are not only pampered but also practical.

OCHER's Breakthrough Product: THE SERUM

OCHER's flagship product, “OCHER THE SERUM,” is tailored specifically for men’s skin, boasting a variety of curated ingredients:

• - Niacinamide: Known for its skin-brightening properties, ideal for thicker male skin.
• - Bakuchiol: A plant-derived alternative to retinol, suitable for sensitive skin.
