Clinical Skin has acquired Glytone, the dermatolog­ical skin care brand, from Pierre Fabre Laboratori­es.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“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.
