Rite Aid launches exclusive skin care line
CAMP HILL, Pa. — Rite Aid on Monday launched an exclusive skin-care line called Receutics Active Skin Repair across 200 stores in New Jersey and the Seattle-area, as well as online at Receutics.com.
"Our research and feedback from our pharmacists told us that customers were looking for solutions to common skincare issues that were both effective and affordable," said David Abelman, Rite Aid SVP brand development and innovation. "After a year of development, testing and clinical studies, we are excited to introduce our customers and patients to Receutics Active Skin Repair, a line of dermatologist-strength skincare products that are clinically proven to deliver real results."
"Pharmacists are among the most accessible and trusted healthcare professionals, making them an ideal resource for customers looking for affordable and effective products to address a skincare concern," said Jocelyn Konrad, Rite Aid group VP clinical services and pharmacy initiatives. "Yielding immediate and impressive results in clinical studies and made with quality ingredients, our exclusive Receutics Active Skin Repair line is a line our pharmacists can confidently recommend to their customers."
Each of the Receutics Active Skin Repair 10 products, which range in price from $9.99 to $49.99, fall into one of four categories:
Acne Clearing - helps to clear and prevent acne and can be used with prescription acne medications;
Therapeutic Relief - treats medical skin conditions like eczema and provides relief from medication side effects;
Sun Care - protects skin from sun damage while simultaneously hydrating and offering anti-aging benefits; and
Anti-Aging - addresses anti-aging concerns including wrinkles and dark spots and helps to even skin tone and texture.
In a clinical study led by Zoe Draelos, former VP of the American Academy of Dermatology, the Receutics Active Skin Repair three-piece topical Acne-Clearing kit was found to clear acne faster and improve the appearance of facial acne better than a similar three-piece kit from a leading brand. Draelos noted that "the study product resulted in a greater percentage decrease in clogged pores and inflammatory lesions at all time points versus the leading brand."
In a similar study, patients with mild to moderate eczema had a 79% reduction in overall signs of eczema, including itchiness, dryness, redness and irritation after using the Receutics Active Skin Repair Intense Hydration and Repair topical treatment. Draelos noted that "the improvement in the skin without a prescription is quite remarkable."
Each Receutics product is formulated to support the skin's natural improvement processes, enhancing overall health and appearance. Key ingredients include fruit seed extract (to stimulate healing), hyaluronic acid (to hydrate), antioxidants (to reduce inflammation), retinoids (to brighten, smooth and firm), aloe vera, vitamin C and more. All Receutics Active Skin Repair products are also paraben-free.
