2025 began with the renewal of “DUO The Cleansing Balm Series,” marking the 15th anniversary of the brand's founding. The renewal of all five products was completed in April, and in addition to the first renewal in 15 years, we have also taken on the challenge of further evolution, such as offering products with store-exclusive capacity and price settings and full-scale rollout of mini sizes.
“The Cleansing Balm Black Repair” has received high praise from customers, winning two awards for the first time in the @cosme Best Cosmetics Award for best new cosmetic for the first half of 2025. In particular, there are signs of a recovery in sales at stores, and I believe that the renewal has achieved some success.
In addition, Venex Co., Ltd. celebrated its 20th anniversary on September 30, 2025. With growing social interest in sleep and recuperation, the recovery market has expanded rapidly, with an increasing number of new companies entering the market and the term "recovery wear" being nominated for the New Words and Buzzwords Awards.
As a pioneer that developed materials at a time when the idea of “recovery through clothing” did not exist and created the new category of “recovery wear,” Venex will continue to develop a wide range of recovery businesses and play a role in creating a new culture of “recuperation.”
We believe that the environment surrounding our company will continue to change significantly and rapidly this year. However, based on our purpose of “Create original products and services of unique value that untether people from their age and brighten their lives,” each and every employee will continue to take on the challenge of creating new categories in society, with the “game-changing” attitude that has been in our DNA since our founding.
We sincerely wish you all good health and happiness, and we sincerely ask for your continued understanding and support this year.
January 2026
