Several trends are driving the skin care market, some moving on independent parallel paths and others influencing each other and spawning new areas of growth. Skin care is becoming increasingly more high tech but at the same time there is growing popularity in natural and organic products. Since innovation is more and more the price of entry, the lines between prestige and mass brands are more and more blurred. Baby Boomers are still a core consumer market but there is great potential in more targeted areas such as men’s and ethnic skin care.

It is a complex and highly competitive market. This all new Packaged Facts report covers sales and market share in the facial moisturizers, facial cleansers, and hand and body lotion categories. It explores competitive strategies for major players. The report looks at ad spending and creative approaches, the competitive situation, distribution, and demographic trends affecting the skin care market.
