For Kamedis, Botanicals Plus OTC Topical Equals Acne Remedy Claim
Executive Summary
"We can say we are OTC but the botanicals are doing a lot of the heavy lifting," says Kelli Rodriquez, the firm's sales and marketing chief. Salicylic acid supports the acne treatment claim under an OTC monograph; leaving out benzoyl peroxide, an allergen for some consumers, also allows labeled use more frequently with a claim of faster symptom reduction.
