DermWORX, LETI launch new dermatological products in US

The new dermatological products comprise LETI’s atopic skin range including AT4, which DermWORX will market to US healthcare professionals starting from third quarter of 2014.

DermWORX will launch LETI’s AT4 line of products, which are designed for children and adults with atopic skin.

LETI Laboratories president Jaime Grego said: "DermWORX and LETI share a passion for creating high-quality skin therapeutics and products that improve people’s lives, particularity those with compromised skin.

"For nearly 100 years, LETI has earned the loyalty of physicians and their patients with safe and effective solutions like AT4."

"We are thrilled to make these products available in the United States through our partnership with DermWORX," Grego added.

According to the company, allergic skin disease is a growing worldwide epidemic and over one in five people experiencing symptoms at some time in their lives.

The AT4 line is claimed to offer daily care that integrates with treatment plans provided by medical professionals.

DermWORX chief executive officer Tom Ford said: "DermWORX is fortunate to have LETI as a strategic partner, as it provides us the opportunity to introduce proven, effective and successful products into the US market for patients who very much need them.

"We’ve seen how these LETI products have changed patients’ lives in the international market, and it is very exciting to introduce them to our customers in the US medical community.

"And this is only the beginning. Beyond allergic skin, LETI has a deep portfolio of established skincare solutions that are poised to really make a difference here in the US," Ford added.

Currently, DermWORX Professional Skincare’s products include: CerumWORX, a topical Vitamin C-based antioxidant in single-use capsules; MoistureWORX, a spray-on white petrolatum moisturizer; AcneWORX, a hydrating acne medication; and LidoWORX, a topical analgesic.

Additionally, DermWORX plans to introduce additional LETI lines in the US as well as expand its line of products internationally.

Headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, the LETI Laboratories is a strategic founding partner for DermWORX and has 95 years of experience in biopharmaceuticals, skincare, allergy and immunology.
