Nickel was created in 1996 by a forward-thinking man called Philippe Dumont. Mr. Dumont saw that men were becoming more conscious of the appearance of their skin, and founded Nickel to provide them with products that would achieve the results they desired without demanding too much of their time.

Nickel prides itself on straight-talking products, masculine packaging and multi-tasking formulas. For the man who doesn't have time to figure out why his skin needs to be "revitalized," products such as Morning After Rescue Gel will tell him why he wants it and what it will do. Simple differences such as solid, generous bottles and highly concentrated formulas set Nickel apart and show that skin care is slowly but surely becoming a man's world, too.
