Nothing feels better to us than having the right tool for the job. Sometimes it can mean the difference between getting the job done efficiently – and not getting it done at all.

Skincare is no exception. We created Como because while the skincare industry as whole has made great strides, most men have been left in the dark.

Leave the folk science behind – skincare today is all about ingredients. Problems and solutions. Clinical research. And that information is all available at our fingertips.

But there is a steep hill to climb for most men looking to take better care of themselves. As the industry has advanced, skincare has also become more complex.

For many men, the trial-and-error nature of learning how to truly take care of their skin stops them from ever getting started, or keeps them stuck with the basic stuff they picked off the shelf. For others (like us) who go too far down the rabbit hole, they quickly find themselves with a pile of skincare products bought, tested and tossed aside.

We created Como to answer the call for sensible, simple and high-performance skincare. Before we get to serums, spot treatments and masks, let's take a good hard look at our cleanser and moisturizer. Let's make sure we start with a solid base of ingredients. And let's look at ourselves, and the bad skincare habits we might have – things that, quite frankly, nobody ever told us about.

It all starts with the fundamentals. This is where our journey begins.

Elegant solutions are hard to pull off. They often require trial and error, lots of testing, and challenging your own ideas.

A cleanser and a moisturizer – the absolute basics of skincare – seem straightforward, but peel back the onion and there's a lot more to it than just soap and lotion.

We started our journey having tested tons of products over the years, consulting with our own dermatologists and staying abreast of the latest in the world of skincare. This was the basis for our wish list of ingredients, which would end up in our "Keep-It-Simple-Stupid" combo.

But we needed a partner to turn this into reality, which led us to South Korea – the origins of an explosion of innovative beauty products that made their way around the world through the 2010s.

Como is the product of our work with one of K-Beauty's most well-known manufacturers. They brought to the table decades of experience working with brands not only in South Korea, but also around the world, to bring our unique formula to life.

Together, after much testing and tweaking, we developed what we're now bringing to you –high-performance essentials for every stage of your skincare journey.
