FANCL’s New Men’s Skincare UV Protection

FANCL Co., Ltd. is set to launch its latest product, the "FANCL Men’s Skincare UV" on April 20, 2026. This limited edition sunscreen, designed exclusively for men, comes in a compact 50g package and is priced at ¥2,200 (including taxes). The product will be available through direct sales, online storefronts, and various EC platforms.

In an era where the intensity of UV rays is on the rise, there has been a noticeable increase in men’s awareness of the importance of sun protection. Consequently, investment in sunscreens and the use of sun umbrellas among men have seen a significant uptick. The scenario is further augmented due to the influence of social media and the proliferation of online meetings following the pandemic, which have heightened men's interest in personal grooming. Over the last few years, the market for men’s sunscreens has witnessed impressive growth.

Men's skin exhibits unique characteristics; while it tends to produce more sebum compared to women's skin, it often suffers from dryness due to regular shaving and inadequate skincare. This makes male skin particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of UV rays. Many men also struggle with the greasiness associated with their skin, leading to a demand for sunscreens that offer a matte finish upon application. In light of these factors, FANCL has developed a sunscreen that not only suits men’s skin but also provides comprehensive daily UV protection without the heavy, greasy feel.

Enriched with Skin-Nourishing Ingredients

• - Moisturizing Components: The formulation incorporates GABA and vitamin E derivatives, which help care for skin that has already been exposed to UV damage and supports its natural functions.

Innovative Absorbent Powders
