The collection is split into five treatment areas: cleansing and exfoliating, anti-ageing, anti-blemish, corrective and repair and protect and will form part of Boots' dermatological offering which currently features brands including Vichy and Avene.
Using the powerful skin clearing salicylic acid combined with a patented peptide technology from Helix BioMedix, the Anti-Blemish range is designed to improve skin texture and tone while preventing further breakouts.
According to David Patten, category manager for sk:n, there is “particular interest surrounding our anti-acne range, featuring three products containing Helix BioMedix Smartpeptide oligopeptide 10 - specifically developed to fight acne-causing bacteria.”
Thee products include Blemish Control Lotion for when spots are inflamed; Intense Spot Lotion, a pocket sized dispenser to treat blemishes on the go; and Maintenance Serum for when spots are under control."
“We are keen to promote this line to consumers suffering from adult acne. With Boots controlling approximately 45% of UK skin care market and the fact that 50% of all women over 18 visit boots every 2 weeks, we see this as an excellent opportunity to reach the consumer," said Patten.
