Naomi Aoki April 19, 2005 -- Real men exfoliate Companies leap into the growing market for male skin-care products By Naomi Aoki, Globe Staff | April 19, 2005 Eric Rollins' idea of skin care was washing his face with the same bar of soap he used to wash the rest of his body -- until five years ago when a girlfriend reacted with horror to his daily regimen. ADVERTISEMENT ''Hopefully, it wasn't that my skin was so bad," Rollins said. As the women's market becomes saturated with every kind of product imaginable to eliminate wrinkles and shed dead skin cells, companies are looking to men like 23-year-old Rollins to drive sales. From Boston's Gillette Co. to Britain's King of Shaves, companies are pushing cleansers, moisturizers, antiaging lotions and body sprays made just for men. Meanwhile, retailers like CVS Corp. are quadrupling shelf space for men's skin care. At $108 million last year, the men's market is a relatively small part of the $8 billion total skin-care market. But that's changing quickly in an age when makeover show ''Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" has turned style and smooth skin into virtues. Men's skin care is the fastest growing segment in all of personal care. While sales of all skin-care products increased less than 5 percent last year, men's skin care grew at a 16 percent clip, according to New Jersey consulting firm Kline & Co. Indeed, the market is alluring enough to have attracted the attention of the nation's biggest consumer products company, Procter & Gamble Co. The Cincinnati giant is not only moving into the realm of men's skin care with its Old Spice body washes, but it is also paying $57 billion to acquire shaving giant Gillette to gain a foothold in men's personal care. ''P&G is a titan in all the categories it competes in," said Anna Wang of Kline & Co. ''With Old Spice and Gillette, it'll have an even better stronghold. That means everyone else is going to have to work even harder to compete in that market." P&G has size and scale on its side. With brands like Olay and Noxzema, it also knows skin care. ''Brands that resonate with men for men are the ones with the highest right to win in this category," said Alexandra Lipinski, P&G's marketing director for Old Spice. Gillette is the nation's number one men's brand. The company has studied their grooming habits, facial hair and skin for more than a century. When it launched Gillette Complete Skincare a year ago, it kept it simple: a choice of two cleansers, two shaving gels, and two moisturizers. The message: Wash, shave, and protect. ''We're starting from zero," said Mary Ann Pesce, president of the personal care business at Gillette. ''We didn't want to overwhelm these guys." L'Oreal is now introducing a new Men's Expert line of skin-care products, including a Power Clean Anti-Dullness Face Wash, a Power Buff Anti-Roughness Exfoliator, and a Vita Lift Anti-Wrinkle & Firming Moisturizer. In September, European skin-care brand Lumene introduces its Skin Tech For Men line, to be sold exclusively at CVS stores, with products such as face scrub and advanced C-energy renewing face cream. ''The men's skin-care market is absolutely bursting," said Gillette's Pesce. ''It's all incremental growth because you're getting people who don't use a product to use one. In other personal care categories, gaining market share means stealing it from someone else." But marketing these products is not without its challenges. Marketers need to convince men they need cleansers and lotions they've gone their entire lives without. And to do it in a manly way. Gillette enlisted British soccer star David Beckham to convince the masses that primping doesn't make you any less of a man. L'Oreal is advertising during Major League Baseball games, in men's magazines and at gyms. Companies are using masculine colors like steel gray, blue, and orange on packaging, and language that emphasizes strength. ''I don't think you've come to the point where you're going to sell a whole bunch of moisturizers based on a soft look," said Sharlene Hesse-Biber, a Boston College sociology professor. ''We're not ready to give up those traditional roles yet." Bravado aside, L'Oreal believes ignorance keeps men away from the skin-care aisle. According to its research, 20 percent of men already use a moisturizer and another 30 percent say they are likely to try one in the next year. Citing market research by AC Nielsen, L'Oreal said it is focusing in on the fastest-growing segment of men's skin care -- cleansers, moisturizers and scrubs -- while fulfilling an unmet need for a men's line of antiaging products. Though analysts and consultants say men using moisturizers often buy ones that are not gender specific, L'Oreal claims there are differences between the sexes that need to be considered when choosing skin-care products. Men's skin is thicker, and they secrete twice as much oil as women and large amounts of testosterone. Among the men's skin-care products at CVS stores, King of Shaves pushes the envelope more than most. But in Britain, where men's skin care got an earlier start, its tinted moisturizer is one of the brand's top sellers. And Will King, the company's founder and chief executive, is confident American men will catch on soon enough. ''All the competition is fabulous because that's how things change," King said. ''Imagine how quickly attitudes will change when P&G starts spending in this market." Naomi Aoki can be reached at naoki@globe.com.

skin cream that contains

Liquid Oxygen Skin Cream Main Page | Register | Login | Hoax Forum | Recent Comments Liquid Oxygen Skin Cream New Scientist has flagged a product whose promoters are guilty of making a few misleading claims. It's Neaclear facial cream , and it's advertised as containing a "powerful combination of liquid oxygen, vitamins C & E, sage, chamomile, seaweed and rosemary, coconut oil, sweet almond oil and hydroquinone." The company even boasts that they're the first company "to combine stabilised liquid oxygen into all of its products." New Scientist notes that "We have certainly never heard of a skin cream that contains liquid oxygen, the temperature of which is normally somewhere below -183 °C." Posted: Thu Sep 08, 2005 | Total Comments: 12 Category: Advertising , Health/Medicine Comments Listed in chronological order. Newest comments at the end. Page 1 of 1 pages Alex, Alex, Alex. The answer is so simple that I'm surprised you can't see it. The inventors of Neaclear facial cream are using LifeWave patches to allow oxygen to remain liquid at room temperature. Those little adhesive pieces of plastic can do ANYTHING! Posted by Cranky Media Guy on Fri Sep 09, 2005 at 12:41 AM Liquid oxygen in the form of H2O. Its so obvious. Posted by Jorge on Fri Sep 09, 2005 at 06:04 AM Lifewave! I should have known it. Posted by Alex in San Diego on Fri Sep 09, 2005 at 06:12 AM I also think they should rename their product "Nuclear facial cream, with liquid oxygen." They would see an explosion in sales. Posted by Alex in San Diego on Fri Sep 09, 2005 at 06:17 AM Quantum Nuclear facial cream, now with liquid oxygen. Posted by Zoe on Fri Sep 09, 2005 at 06:50 AM Since liquid oxygen is usually -183 degrees C, they could even change the name to Cold Fusion facial cream.

Posted by trotsky on Fri Sep 09, 2005 at 09:59 PM All, Thank you for your comments. Our intention is never to mislead the public since we are an ethical company. We were never contacted by newscientist.com to discuss our products or to answer their questions. We are still awaiting a response from their attorneys for their slanderous comments. Even though we are a physician-strength skin care company, our claims are significantly less than other cosmeceuticals companies. Please feel free to check out the following web link where you will find the our science page updated: http://www.neaclear.com/ourscience.htm neaclear products have all undergone rigorous safety, efficacy, stability and hypoallergenicity studies. neaclear is currently conducting numerous randomized, prospective and double-blind clinical trials to further validate our products. Unfortunately, we cannot discuss with you the oxygenation process. We understand your comments concerning liquid oxygen, and that is why the process took us over 1 ½ years to finalize. Please realize the oxygen concentration in our skin care products is not a large amount, definitely less than 5%. On the FAQ section, you will find the following question: Is there really liquid oxygen in neaclear® & neaclearPlus products? neaclear® and neaclearPlus skin care products all have oxygen in them. the oxygenation is a special 4 step process that enables us to place oxygen into a stable liquid form. liquid oxygen normally exists only at the extremely low temperature of -183 degrees Celsius under normal atmospheric pressure. liquid oxygen in it's purest form is highly combustible and basically "rocket fuel". NO, we do not have rocket fuel (pure liquid oxygen) in our products. please realize the oxygen concentration in our skin care products is not a large amount, definitely less than 5%. again, we always recommend not placing these products close to any sources of fire or anything flammable (a good piece of advice with any skin care products). Again, thank you for your comments. We take them all very seriously as we continue our growth. Best Regards, Pete Posted by Peter Pappas on Mon Sep 12, 2005 at 12:06 PM "...our claims are significantly less than other cosmeceuticals companies. " "Cosmeceuticals"? Hee hee hee hee hee. Posted by Big Gary, strangling with uncontrollable laughter on Tue Sep 13, 2005 at 03:07 PM If you could put 5% "liquid oxygen" in a skin cream (which, of course, you can't-- not at normal temperatures, anyway), why would it be good for your skin? My skin is constantly immersed in a mixture containing about 20% gaseous oxygen, and I haven't noticed anything extraordinary happening to it. Posted by Big Gary, strangling with uncontrollable laughter on Tue Sep 13, 2005 at 03:11 PM Most of the cosmeceutical companies that dominate this industry include Loreal, Neutrogena, Procter & Gamble etc. Please feel free to check out their claims. Physician-strength companies like Obagi, Laroche Posay, Skinceuticals and neaclear are redefining this industry with their data. We do not lay claim to originating this term, but it has been around for a while and is commonly used. I googled the term cosmeceutical and hope you might find the time to check the results at the following link: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2004- 47,GGLD:en&q=Cosmeceutical Have a nice day and please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help you or we as a company can do better.

The average length of timebefore the rash appears is 7 to 14 days, but symptoms can develop anywhere from3 to 31 days after being bitten. The rash usually starts as a small red area and then expands over the course of several days. It may grow to be 1 ft (0.3 m) across. Sometimes the rash clears in the center, so that it looks like a bull's-eye. The rash may be warm to the touch, but it is usually not painful or itchy. Common sites for the rash include the thighs, groin, trunk, armpits, waistline, and behind the knees. The rash is easy to miss if it is in an area you can't see, such as the scalp or buttocks, which are common rash sites in children. You also are more likely to miss ticks that have attached in these areas. Patches of red rash may develop elsewhere as the Lyme disease bacteria circulate through the blood and come to rest in other areas of the skin. The rash usually fades within 3 to 4 weeks even if you are not treated for Lyme disease. (back to top) Credits Author Dana L.

(3) Visitor Comments: I use this without the almonds. It stung at first, but clears up your skin! i used this recipe today...but a little variance. i had no fresh lemon so i used a tlbs. lemon juice and i used 3-4 tlbs. finely ground almonds to make it thicker so it wouldn't run. it made my skin very smooth but didn't instantly help out with small blemishes (not to be expected though). thanks a lot! I tried this with a friend and we loved it. it made our skin soft and silky!
