Business Wire
Helix BioMedix, Inc. (OTCQB: HXBM), a developer of
bioactive peptides, today announced that three new anti-blemish
products developed by the company have been launched by sk:n
– the UK’s number one skin health clinic. The products debut at the
37 sk:n clinics and larger Boots Chemist shops across the UK
starting July 4th and are part of an extensive line under the
sk:n brand. 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 Avène.
Using the powerful skin clearing salicylic acid combined with a
patented peptide technology, 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. These 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.” He went on to say, “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.”
The sk:n product range emphasizes targeted solutions
enhanced with an explanatory leaflet to educate consumers about
their skin, the different products within the range and how the
ingredients in these products work to solve their specific
dermatological issues. In addition, sk:n clinics offer a
wide range of medical and cosmetic dermatological services to
provide a comprehensive approach to skin health and beauty.
R. Stephen Beatty, President & CEO of Helix BioMedix,
commented: “We are pleased to partner with the UK’s premier
dermatology group to bring innovative, problem solving skin care
products to market. We feel that sk:n is uniquely suited to
bridge the best of the dermatology and consumer skin care continuum
and we are delighted our patented technology and targeted
formulations bring benefit to acne sufferers.”
Helix will continue to supply sk:n though an existing
supply agreement and the company will continue to support
sk:n's product development needs.
