BATF: What in particular were you looking for in a men’s skin care line, as opposed to one that caters to women?
AA: The biggest issue with male skin is the fact that it is inherently more difficult to create products for due to it’s density and acidity. For men, our skin is much thicker than a woman’s and less likely to absorb active ingredients. That’s why we created a micro-particle delivery system that delivers the active ingredients to the source of the problem.

11.11.09 “Two months ago I had never heard of Kyoku for Men, but having read about it in the newspaper I decided to give it a go. I wasn’t very optimistic about it as not many products do deliver what the say they’re going to. I only purchased the Exfoliator and Cleanser, but the first time I used them it was unbelievable... a feeling you don’t get with other products. Having suffered with acne prone skin for about 3 years I’ve tried most products to get may skin back to what it was – Using Kyoku these last few months has made a huge difference... Kyoku’s been the biggest kept secret. I would just like to say thank you to everyone at Kyoku for giving me my face back.”
