“This strategic acquisition reiterates a continued commitment to enhancing [Clinical Skin’s] unrivaled product portfolio and expanding its presence in the skin care industry,” the company said in a statement Monday.
Glytone, which has tapped into Pierre Fabre’s labs for more than 20 years, answers concerns such as skin aging, hyperpigmentation and acne.
“With a focus on combining science and skin care expertise, Glytone garnered a loyal customer base and earned the trust of dermatologists in the United States,” Clinical Skin said.
Dermatological skin care brands became a hot commodity during the coronavirus pandemic and subsequently still clock robust growth.
Pierre Fabre brought its professional hair treatment range Ducray to the U.S. under its Glytone brand in late 2013. Glytone, which was founded as a dermatological skin care company in the U.S., was acquired by Pierre Fabre in 2002.
“This acquisition aligns perfectly with our mission to continue to scale our offering of skin care solutions that are firmly backed by science and innovation,” said Jaime Castle, chief executive officer of Clinical Skin, in the statement. “Glytone’s commitment to quality and efficacy complements our own values, and we are excited to work together to further elevate our product offerings.”
Lisa Morris, CEO of Pierre Fabre U.S., said: “Hand-in-hand with Clinical Skin, we will now focus on assuring a smooth transition of the brand to the benefit of patients and dermatologists alike.”
Glytone, created by pharmacists, melds pharmaceutical and cosmetic expertise, with resulting product inspired by aesthetic dermatology. The brand’s formulations include free glycolic acids to improve skin tone. Glytone offers in-office peel systems, as well as solutions for at-home use.
Clinical Skin produces and sells premium skin care products that address various dermatological concerns, such as hyperpigmentation, uneven skin texture, photoaging, acne and keratosis pilaris, which causes dry patches and tiny bumps.
