Mederma® PM named a 2015 breakthrough product by total beauty
Merz Aesthetics, a division of Merz North America (US affiliate of the global Merz Pharma Group), announced today that Mederma® PM has earned an Editors’ Pick Honorable Mention in the Breakthrough Product category of the TotalBeauty.com Annual Beauty Awards.
“It’s an honor to have Mederma® PM Intensive Overnight Scar Cream recognized as a Breakthrough Product by the editors of TotalBeauty.com,“ said Mark Lemko, Vice President and U.S. Head of the Merz Aesthetics Skincare business. “Over the years, the Mederma® brand has established a strong reputation as a trusted therapy to improve the appearance of both old and new scars. Now, with the introduction of Mederma® PM, we are proud to offer the first and only overnight scar cream specifically formulated to work at night, when skin naturally regenerates faster.“
Mederma® PM fits easily into existing beauty regimens, given it is applied once‐nightly and can be used with moisturizers and anti‐aging creams, but patients should consult their healthcare professionals before using Mederma® PM with topical prescription products. Mederma® PM may be used on scars on the face and the body resulting from injury, cuts, surgery, burns and acne. Mederma® PM is sold in a 1‐ounce tube and 1.7‐ounce jar with suggested retail prices of $25 and $35, respectively. The Mederma® family of products for scar care and stretch mark therapy is available at major retail, grocery, and drug stores nationwide, in addition to online retailers.
