Ocean Supreme unveiled its fourth-generation AMPK energy oil-control technology at People's Daily, inaugurating a new era of oil control for men.
On September 23, 2025, the "2025 Academic Exchange Conference on Men's Skincare Oil-Control Technology" jointly hosted by Ocean Supreme, the Health Client of People's Daily, and Chaogui Research Institute came to a successful conclusion. Choosing the People's Daily Office to hold this exchange conference not only serves as an authoritative endorsement of Ocean Supreme's scientific research strength and technological achievements but also endows the breakthroughs in men's oil-control technology with greater credibility under the witness of a national-level media.
The core theme of this conference was "Powerful Oil Control, Dominating the Scene". It not only systematically released the long-term scientific research and technological roadmap in the field of men's oil control for the first time but also grandly launched the core new product, "Ocean Supreme Hydro - Regulating Moisturizing and Soothing Energy Cream", which is equipped with the cutting - edge achievement, the fourth - generation men's oil - control technology. More than a hundred industry authorities, scientific research experts, and trendsetters jointly witnessed this event, marking that Chinese men's skincare has officially entered a new stage of "technology - driven and precise oil control".
Industry Authorities Gather to Explore the Future of Chinese Men's Skincare
Ocean Supreme is a brand specializing in men's oil - control skincare. Since its establishment at the end of 2020, Ocean Supreme has been committed to technological exploration and scientific research investment. By the end of 2024, Ocean Supreme had received the market certification from Frost & Sullivan as "the best - selling domestic men's skincare product on Tmall". In February 2025, it was recognized by Yuxi Consulting & User's Talk as "the men's oil - control skincare brand with the best online reputation for three consecutive years". In August, Ocean Supreme topped the "Men's Skincare Category List" on the Douyin Mall, surpassing brands like Hanshu and L'Oréal. Behind the achievements of this emerging brand lies not only an understanding of traffic and platform rules but also a deep insight into the needs of the new generation of Chinese men and a commitment to the continuous iteration of oil - control technology.
Efficacy is what male consumers are more willing to pay for. Facing the industry situation where most products in the market only focus on "surface oil removal" and "ignore the differences in men's skin conditions", Ocean Supreme has always focused on the core needs of Chinese men's skincare and continued to delve deep into the niche field of "oil control". Cheng Chuanming, the founder of Ocean Supreme, said that the original intention of establishing a long - term oil - control technology roadmap, including the fourth - generation oil - control technology, is to build a solid bridge between the brand positioning and scientific research achievements. It is not only a research and development roadmap but also a strategic blueprint for the long - term development of the brand and a key factor in promoting the industry's upgrade from "single oil removal" to "root - cause oil control".
This conference specially invited industry and academic authorities such as Ju Qiang, the standing committee member of the Dermatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association and the leader of the Acne Group; Dr. Liu Xuedong, the chief R & D consultant of Ocean Supreme and the dean of Chaogui Research Institute; Tang Xu, a senior researcher at the Third Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources; and Professor Yi Fan, an associate professor and the deputy dean of the School of Light Industry Science and Engineering at Beijing Technology and Business University, to conduct in - depth discussions on the trends of the Chinese men's skincare market, medical clinics, scientific research paths, and technological breakthroughs.
Yao Yongbin, the director of the Industrial Research Center of the China Flavor and Fragrance Cosmetics Industry Association, delivered a speech saying that the idea of "scientific oil - control skincare" put forward by Ocean Supreme conforms to the industry's development trend. The association will continue to pay attention to and support the brand's scientific research exploration in the field of men's skincare and promote the transformation of technological achievements across the entire industry.
In terms of scientific research cooperation, Ocean Supreme has reached a long - term strategic cooperation with Chaogui Research Institute. Dr. Zhang Peng Lihui, a full - domain experience scientist at Chaogui Research Institute, proposed at the conference that "oil control is not only a function but also the logical starting point for men's skincare. Men's needs for moisturizing, anti - acne, and soothing all extend from 'oil control'. Brands need to build an 'oil - control ecosystem' rather than just focus on a single product."
Cutting - Edge Technology Grandly Released: AMPK Energy Oil - Control Technology + Oil - Devouring Energy Element™, Unlocking a New Path for Root - Cause Oil Control
As the core achievement of the brand's technological iteration, at this press conference, Ocean Supreme officially released its 2025 brand technology strategic roadmap. Among them, the fourth - generation men's oil - control technology, the AMPK OIL - LOCK Energy Oil - Control Technology, and the supporting core ingredient, the Oil - Devouring Energy Element™, became the focus of the whole event.
Dr. Liu Xuedong, the chief R & D consultant of Ocean Supreme and the dean of Chaogui Research Institute, detailed the technical principle: "The first - generation men's oil - control technology was achieved through strong washing and porous powder materials with adsorption properties; the second - generation technology targeted the inhibition of androgens and their precursors, such as salicylic acid and PCA - Zn; the third - generation technology, on the basis of the second - generation technology, added other oil - secretion targets for compound oil control; while the core of Ocean Supreme's fourth - generation men's oil - control technology, the AMPK Energy Oil - Control Technology, is to activate the 'energy sensor' AMPK factor in skin cells. By optimizing cellular energy metabolism, it inhibits the key switches for sebum synthesis, SREBP (sebum synthesis regulatory protein) and ACC rate - limiting enzyme (key enzyme for fat synthesis), and optimizes the downstream pathways of energy metabolism, including the inhibition of androgen receptor expression, HPA axis regulation, and inflammatory metabolism, providing a comprehensive and three - dimensional oil - control solution to reduce sebum production at the root and regulate the problem of excessive sebum secretion in men from the source."
Dr. Chen Yongli, a joint R & D scientist of Ocean Supreme and a senior scientist at Zhongke Xinyang, explained the oil - control secret of the Oil - Devouring Energy Element™ from the perspective of "energy oil control x ingredients". At the conference, the oil - control efficacy data of the Oil - Devouring Energy Element™ was announced for the first time. "The Oil - Devouring Energy Element™ is a self - developed oil - control ingredient of Ocean Supreme, compounded with components such as the fermentation product of Thermus thermophilus, sarcosine, and 10 - hydroxydecanoic acid. It can activate AMPK. With 1% of the Oil - Devouring Energy Element™, the AMPK level significantly increased (p < 0.01), with a growth rate of 434%, activating the 'switches' of hormones, autophagy, and anti - oxidation to efficiently achieve three - dimensional oil control for men."
The New Energy Cream Officially Debuts, Ushering in a New Era of Men's Oil - Control and Repair
The ultimate value of technology lies in solving practical problems for consumers. At this exchange conference, Ocean Supreme officially launched the core new product, the Ocean Supreme Energy Cream, which is equipped with the AMPK Energy Oil - Control Technology and the Oil - Devouring Energy Element™, transforming the cutting - edge scientific research achievements into a "tangible and usable" skincare solution. This is also the first terminal product where the fourth - generation AMPK Energy Oil - Control Technology has been implemented.
Li Beiyang, the deputy general manager of Ocean Supreme, introduced during the new product promotion that the Energy Cream has been optimized in multiple dimensions to address the core pain points of Chinese men, such as "excessive oil secretion, fear of complexity, and concern about irritation". In terms of formula, in addition to the AMPK Energy Oil - Control Technology and the Oil - Devouring Energy Element™, it also contains a self - developed patented flora regulation technology and biomimetic royal jelly to achieve dynamic water - oil balance. It is also equipped with the innovative "Green Core Shield" encapsulation technology, which can intelligently penetrate to the root of damaged skin and strengthen the skin barrier. In terms of efficacy, the product can quickly relieve dryness, itching, and redness within 1 hour of use, significantly improve the skin condition of "oily on the outside and dry on the inside" in 7 days, and help regulate the skin texture at the root and reduce sebum secretion in the long - term use.
The successful conclusion of the 2025 Academic Exchange Conference on Men's Skincare Oil - Control Technology is not only an important milestone in the development of the Ocean Supreme brand, marking the official introduction of the fourth - generation men's oil - control technology to the industry but also, under the authoritative witness of the People's Daily Office, setting a new benchmark of "science, professionalism, and authority" for the Chinese men's skincare industry. In the future, with the wide application of the AMPK Energy Oil - Control Technology and the Oil - Devouring Energy Element™ and the market launch of new products, Ocean Supreme will continue to take scientific research as the engine and user needs as the core, promoting the Chinese men's skincare industry to develop in a direction of higher quality and greater international competitiveness, and letting the world see the innovative power of Chinese men's skincare.
