Allergan Inc and Clinique Laboratories, LLC announced a strategic collaboration which combines Clinique's expertise in product development and formulation with Allergan's leadership in the medical aesthetics market.
The new skin care line, which will incorporate the Clinique brand name, will offer clinically proven skin care products to complement in-office aesthetic procedures. It will be sold exclusively in physicians' offices in the United States and is expected to launch in the fall of 2008.
Over the past ten years, non-surgical aesthetic procedures have increased nearly 750 percent, with consumers in the United States spending more than $12 billion on cosmetic procedures in 2006.
The top five non-surgical aesthetic treatments in 2006, administered in the physician's office, included BOTOX Cosmetic and hyaluronic acid dermal fillers such as JUVEDERM, laser hair removal, microdermabrasion and laser skin resurfacing.
As more patients seek advice and treatments from aesthetic specialty physicians, there is a similar, growing trend of consumers purchasing skin care products in the physician's office. Allergan and Clinique expect to pioneer a new category of best-in-class skin care products sold exclusively in physicians' offices that will be Allergy Tested and 100% Fragrance Free.
"In collaboration with Clinique, our goal is to establish a leadership position in physician-dispensed skin care by offering a one-stop approach to specialized skin care products under a brand name that is trusted by consumers and backed by science on which physicians can rely," said David E.I. Pyott, Allergan's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.
