Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Otsuka) and its subsidiary, Taiwan Otsuka Pharmaceutical, has announced in-store and online sales of the men's skincare brand UL·OS in Taiwan in July of this year. Otsuka developed this product based on the unique concept of cosmedics^*1 and, through it, aims to contribute to healthy skin for the people of Taiwan.

In Taiwan, the climate varies significantly with each season. During the summer, the high humidity and persistent heat lead to increased sebum and sweat production, creating conditions where skin problems are more likely to occur. Additionally, with a growing men's cosmetics market worldwide, more Taiwanese men are prioritizing grooming and health and investing more time and money in beauty care. As a result, trust in Japanese-made cosmetics has been rising.

UL·OS is a total body skincare brand developed from our extensive years of skin research, designed to support healthy skin for middle-aged men. Leveraging our accumulated expertise, we aim to provide high-quality skincare products in Taiwan with the launch of UL·OS Medicated Skin Wash, suitable for both the face and body and the UL·OS Skin Lotion and UL·OS Skin Milk, both containing the moisturizing ingredient AMP^*2. These products provide a new option for supporting healthy skin. With the addition of Taiwan, UL·OS is now available in four countries/regions^*3.
