Major Palyers in Acne Space
J&J commanded over 47% of anti-acne preparation sales in 2007. About 27 points of that share was yielded by the Neutrogena brand and another 16 points by Clean & Clear. J&J’s closest rival was Reckitt Benckiser, which had only a 15% share, thanks to its early 2006 acquisition of Boots Healthcare and its time-honored Clearasil brand.
