Unilever has bought professional skin care brand Dermalogica for an undisclosed sum. Marking Unilever's third acquisition in the skin care category in just four months, the latest takeover confirms a change in the Anglo-Dutch consumer giant's strategy; all three takeovers have fallen under Unilever's prestige personal care portfolio. Unilever has been on an acquisition spree since March, when it acquired skin care brand REN, shortly followed by Kate Somerville Skincare in May. Paul Polman, CEO of Unilever, said: "We are delighted to be adding Dermalogica to the Unilever Prestige personal care portfolio. Dermalogica enjoys an outstanding reputation and incredible awareness among skin care professionals and consumers alike, and has a clear positioning as a superior skin health brand that perfectly complements the rest of our Prestige offering. Importantly, it is a company founded on strong values and a common belief, shared by Unilever, in the role of business as a force for good in society."
