INI’s Takumi Ozaki has been appointed as the brand ambassador for the Korean cosmetics brand “FORENCOS.” This is the first time he has served as a brand ambassador on his own. In connection with his appointment as brand ambassador, a new Web CM in which Takumi Ozaki, dressed as a “wizard,” unravels the “secret of skin temperature” related to makeup was released today (the 23rd). In this Web CM, Takumi Ozaki, who has become FORENCOS’s “wizard,” depicts a fantastical world in which, set against a mysterious lake, he unravels the “secret of skin temperature” related to makeup. Takumi Ozaki quietly moves his brush. When he notices the presence of you, who has wandered in, he gently says, “If you’ve wandered in here, does that mean you’re having trouble with makeup?” While magically manipulating water bubbles and sun serum, he leads you, who has wandered in, to the “secret of skin temperature.” There is also a thrilling scene in which he comes close to you at very close range. He whispers to you, “Have you been paying attention to ‘the temperature of your skin’ in makeup?” Pay attention to his mysterious expression, his whispering voice, and the distance that draws you in without you realizing it. In the final scene, when he mischievously pokes the sun serum wrapped in water, the water splashes, and he is startled. Another highlight is the gap in which, turning away from the cool “wizard” he had been until then, he shows a charming expression. The lake, which serves as the setting of the story, expresses the fresh texture and moist feeling of the main product, the “Triple Shield Sun Serum.” Together with the fantastical “world of magic,” the Web CM has been finished so that viewers can enjoy his various charms, from cool whispers to a charming true face. What FORENCOS values is supporting each and every person so that through makeup they can have confidence in their own “beauty that is like themselves.” FORENCOS revealed that it was strongly drawn not only to Takumi Ozaki’s glamorous expressions shown on stage, but also to his natural expressions that peek out in casual moments and his unadorned personality. It was also drawn to the way he continues to pursue his own expression while repeatedly taking on various challenges as an artist and actor and, behind the scenes, steadily putting in effort. Since its founding in 1988, FORENCOS has continued to pursue functionality and conduct research in order to allow people to enjoy beautiful finishes for longer. Its goal is to deliver time in which people can spend as themselves without worrying about makeup. Takumi Ozaki, who has natural charm but, behind the scenes, steadily continues to make efforts with an unwavering will and continues to pursue his own shine, was thought to overlap with the values FORENCOS has cherished for many years, and for that reason he was appointed as brand ambassador. “Triple Shield Sun Serum” is an SPF50+ PA++++ UV makeup base that focuses on “skin temperature” and “makeup application.” What FORENCOS focused on this time was “makeup application,” which affects the finish of base makeup. It contains the Korean patented ingredient “COOLIF(TM),” which includes plant-derived extracts such as corn mint, eucalyptus, lemongrass, and aloe vera, and it conditions the skin with a cool feel and fresh moisture, leading to skin with good makeup application. It blends into the skin with a freshness like skincare, while protecting the skin from ultraviolet rays and creating moist, glowing skin. It is available in four types that can be chosen according to skin concerns and the desired finish, and this Web CM features the moisturizing and hydrating type, “HYDRO LOCK.” ◆ Takumi Ozaki Interview — If you could use magic, what would it be? Takumi Ozaki: A magic that lets me make delicious food in one shot! — After actually using the “Triple Shield Sun Serum,” was there anything that left an impression on you? Takumi Ozaki: I was able to use all of the products, but especially the blue Hydro Lock Sun Serum was so fresh and moisturizing that I thought it was an extremely easy-to-use product, to the point that I could not believe it was SPF50+ PA++++. In terms of feel, it has a slightly cooling sensation. It is easy to use, and on top of that it contains beauty ingredients and has high moisturizing power, so personally it is a product I really like! — Please give a comment about becoming a solo ambassador for the first time! Takumi Ozaki: I am Takumi Ozaki of INI, and I have been chosen as FORENCOS’s ambassador this time. I hope to convey the appeal of FORENCOS to many people in my own way, and to help energize it together with everyone! ■ Overview of the new FORENCOS Web CM “The Secret of Skin Temperature. — Shimmering Lake Edition —” Release date: Sunday, August 23, 2026, 10:00 AM Release locations: FORENCOS official YouTube, official SNS ■ Product information “Triple Shield Sun Serum” Release date: February 2026 Sales locations: Official online store / Qoo10 / Amazon / Rakuten Market / TikTok Shop Price: 2,300 yen (tax included) Volume: 50 mL ○ Product lineup HYDRO LOCK: Moisture / hydration CICA CALM: Skin-conditioning care TONE LIFT: Transparency *tone-up PEPTI LIFT: Firmness ■ Related sites FORENCOS official site INI official site ■ Overview of the new FORENCOS Web CM “The Secret of Skin Temperature. — Shimmering Lake Edition —” Release date: Sunday, August 23, 2026, 10:00 AM Release locations: FORENCOS official YouTube, official SNS ■ Product information “Triple Shield Sun Serum” Release date: February 2026 Sales locations: Official online store / Qoo10 / Amazon / Rakuten Market / TikTok Shop Price: 2,300 yen (tax included) Volume: 50 mL ○ Product lineup HYDRO LOCK: Moisture / hydration CICA CALM: Skin-conditioning care TONE LIFT: Transparency *tone-up PEPTI LIFT: Firmness ■ Related sites FORENCOS official site INI official site
