Our Story
Otoko was built for men who train with purpose and live with intent. Early mornings. Structured sessions. Systems that deliver; on the gym floor, in recovery, and everywhere in between.
But while everything else in a performance routine has evolved; hydration, nutrition, sleep. Skincare stayed stuck.
Overcomplicated. Underperforming.
No clear function. No place in the system.
We built Otoko to change that.
Not a routine. A recovery system
Every product starts with K Complex™. Our trial backed skin recovery formula. Ceramides, peptides, and hydrators engineered to restore moisture, repair barrier damage, and calm irritation, especially post-effort.
Then comes Cogniscent™. Our neuroscience-tested scent blend. Mapped with EEG and fMRI, designed to activate focus, clarity, and calm through the senses.
Two components. One system.
Our Founder
Jasper Dicker is the founder of Otoko and managing director of Skuu, one of the UK’s leading skincare manufacturers. A lifelong competitor in both business and fitness, Jasper built Otoko to solve a problem he knew firsthand: men’s skincare wasn’t keeping up with the way high-performing men live, train, and recover.
Otoko is his answer. A performance system for skin and mind, built with science, driven by discipline. Just like hydration, nutrition, and movement.
It’s part of the essential recovery loop.
"For over a decade, I worked behind the scenes, helping formulate and manufacture skincare products at the highest level. But none of it matched how I lived; Early mornings, structured training, a life built around performance and recovery.
Like most men, I didn’t grow up thinking skincare mattered. But over time, especially as I left my 20s behind, I saw the shift. Performance wasn’t just about how hard I could train. It was about how well I could recover. My energy, my discipline, my resilience, they all improved when I took skin seriously.
That’s when the disconnect became impossible to ignore. The best skincare products weren’t built for men. The ones that were? Lacked substance. Weak on science. Gimmicky branding. Fragrance for the sake of it. They didn’t speak to our routines; high-effort, low-fuss, outcome-driven. I was using women's formulas to get results.
That wasn’t good enough. So I started searching; testing ingredients, feeling textures, studying what skin actually needs post-effort. Not for vanity. For resilience.
That’s where Otoko began."
