Serious about looking younger, fresher and more composed?

Three steps, about two minutes. The eye serum softens fine lines and wrinkles and reduces dark circles. The face serum is built to penetrate deep and take on the dryness and dullness that age a face. The moisturiser keeps skin hydrated and comfortable all day, with the shine kept down.

WHY THESE THREE

“If a man really wants to get his skin right, this is what I would give him. It is the most complete routine we make.

The things that make a man look older are not complicated. It is the eyes first, then the fine lines and wrinkles, then the dryness that dulls everything. This covers all three, which is the whole point of putting them together.

The eyes are where it shows fastest. Dark circles and puffiness are what tell someone you are tired before you have said anything, and they come down in minutes.

Then it builds. Skin holds its hydration, the lines soften and the whole face looks fresher. Men tell us the compliments start earlier than they expected, usually from someone who cannot say exactly what has changed.

That is the part I care about most, the way a man carries himself when he knows he looks well. You stand differently, and people respond to it.

We are still building and there is more to come. But if we only ever made these three, I would still be happy with what we built.”

Freddie Sheridan FOUNDER
MELANIN ADAPTIVE TECHNOLOGY™
Three tone-specific formulas designed to reflect light, not mask it, calibrated for a precise, tone-perfect finish.
FORMULA M-
For very light skin, reflects light gently, calms redness and signs of early ageing.
FORMULA M
For 85% of skin tones, melanin-adaptive particles reflect light naturally, no residue.
FORMULA M+
For darker skin, added hydration and vitamin-D support, never ashy, never flat.

    Highly Impressive Products and Customer Service Support

    Have only recently started The Advanced Routine from YCode but first impressions are incredibly impressive. The products feel great on the skin and leave your skin feeling nourished and hydrated. Too early to tell what the long term results will be but feeling confident that I will not be disappointed at all. Had a few questions to ask regarding the products and Freddie Sheridan, the founder and CEO of YCode replied without delay and answered my questions in great detail which leaves you with huge confidence.

    I will endeavour to leave a follow up review in a few weeks time once I have allowed the products enough time to do their thing.

    What a revelation

    I’ve only been using the advanced routine for 3 weeks but I have noticed a real change in the texture of my skin. The serum is easily absorbed and the moisturiser and eye cream are easy to apply. I’ve just ordered another batch. I shall give it another month to see whether the results are long lasting.

    Fifty-Something, Sceptical... and Pleasantly Surprised

    I’m in my 50s and, if I’m honest, I’ve become pretty cynical about skincare. I’ve tried plenty of products over the years, all promising dramatic results, and most have been underwhelming.

    YCODE was no different in terms of my expectations—I assumed it would be another well-packaged product making big claims. What surprised me was that it simply worked without any fuss. My skin felt better hydrated, less tight after shaving, and looked healthier after a few weeks of consistent use. It wasn’t an overnight transformation, but the improvements were noticeable enough that people commented I looked more rested.

    I like that it’s designed specifically for men's skin rather than being a generic formula with different branding. Whether that’s down to the marine microalgae or the other active ingredients, it leaves my skin feeling balanced without being greasy or heavy.

    If, like me, you're sceptical because you've tried just about everything, this is one of the few products I've actually kept using—and that's probably the best endorsement I can give.

    Five stars

    A solid three-step routine that keeps skincare nice and simple. The instructions are clear, the products all feel good to use, and you can tell a lot of thought has gone into them, even down to all three running down at roughly the same rate. Easy to stick with, and I'm very pleased to have an effective morning routine that's simple to follow. Would happily recommend.

    Trio

    After trying nearly all of the top mens moisturiser products over the last few years. I thought I would try out ycode for a change.

    All of the 3 products are top quality & make your skin ( men’s ) feel hydrated & fresh. I would thoroughly recommend you try the trio out & feel it for yourself. I don’t think I will be changing brands for a long time.
