We are very excited about the launch of these new website features
The efforts of our skilled and dedicated team to design and implement these features are all part of our larger attempt to better serve our customers. It is our first priority to make our customers' shopping experiences more pleasant and efficient, and to better serve them with personalized skin care advice and product recommendations.
The new website, which launched Tuesday, features a new look and feel, as well as increased organization, allowing shoppers to view their selection of over 200 skin care products in a neat and efficient manner. In addition to the updated appearance and organization, several functional changes have been made to increase the usability of the website, including convenient one-click add to shopping cart functionality.

The website also incorporates a new Wishlist functionality, allowing users to browse around Mario Badescu's extensive line of skin care and acne treatment products and select products that they may be interested in purchasing in the future.

These new changes are just a few in a series of initiatives to bolster the customer shopping experience. Mario Badescu's existing MyMario feature, for example, allows shoppers to view their past orders, as well as personalized skin care product recommendations. This allows customers to build an optimal skin care regimen to treat their specific skin type or get rid of acne.

Mario Badescu is hoping to use these new website features to continue their tradition of offering customers their famous skin care and acne treatment products, which are renowned as much for their quality and effectiveness as their celebrity use.

"We are very excited about the launch of these new website features," said Joseph Cabasso, Executive Vice President of Mario Badescu Skin Care. "The efforts of our skilled and dedicated team to design and implement these features are all part of our larger attempt to better serve our customers. It is our first priority to make our customers' shopping experiences more pleasant and efficient, and to better serve them with personalized skin care advice and product recommendations."

Botox Maker Allergan Faces Nestle-L’Oreal Challenge in Europe

Botox faces its greatest challenge in the market to wipe the wrinkles off European foreheads when a Nestle SA-L’Oreal SA joint venture starts selling its own injectable skin treatment next month.

Azzalure, as the new product is known, will go on sale in the U.K. in “coming days,” said Francois Fournier, who heads L’Oreal and Nestle’s Galderma venture in Europe. France will follow, and Galderma aims to sell the treatment in all of Europe’s main markets by the end of 2009, he said in an interview at his Lausanne, Switzerland office last week.

Botox, made by Allergan Inc. from a purified form of a deadly poison, has had few challengers since the 1990s, when doctors started using it to treat wrinkles. Sales last year were $1.3 billion, and the drug controlled 83 percent of the global market for neurotoxins that paralyze certain muscles or nerves, aiming to give patients a more youthful appearance.

Ipsen SA, the French drugmaker that granted Galderma the distribution rights for Azzalure, wants a piece of the action, and on April 30 got approval for sale of the treatment in the U.S. under the brand Dysport.

Competition in the U.S. and Europe “combined is going to put a dent in Allergan’s market share,” said Peter Bye, an analyst at Jefferies Group Inc. with a “hold” rating on the U.S. company’s stock. Azzalure is “a bit more of a threat.” He said Botox may lose 4 percentage points of market share in 2009.

L’Oreal, the world’s biggest cosmetics maker, teamed up with Nestle, one of its biggest shareholders, to create Galderma as a prescription skin-treatment business in 1981. The world’s biggest food company has said Galderma joined Hot Pockets sandwiches and Buitoni pasta among 29 Nestle brands with revenue exceeding 1 billion Swiss francs ($880 million) last year.
