SkinMedica Named 2011 Fastest Growing Professional Skin Care Brand in U.S. for Sixth Consecutive Year
SkinMedica announced today that it has been named the fastest growing professional skin care brand in the U.S. for 2011, marking the sixth consecutive year that SkinMedica has received this honor. This distinction has been published by Kline & Company in its annual comprehensive study, “Professional Skin Care: U.S. Market Analysis and Opportunities” on sales of skin care products through professional channels.
The Kline & Company study reported that SkinMedica recorded sales growth of over 26% in 2011, compared to 2010. This is all the more significant against a backdrop of only 6% growth in the overall U.S. professional skin care market in 2011. The report also highlighted that manufacturers experienced a higher growth rate in the medical care providers’ channel as consumers returned to physicians’ offices for skin care treatment.
“We are very proud to be ranked fastest growing again by Kline & Company, an authority in professional skin care market research,” said Mary Fisher, CEO. “Our rapid growth is a testament to our outstanding science based product line, innovative approach to skincare and our dedicated expert team.”
“With our recent acquisition of Colorescience earlier this year, success of the hero TNS line, and support from key industry opinion leaders, we expect sales to continue to grow at a rapid pace,” added Steve Loomis, CFO.
