Chain Drugstore Daily Tuesday, August 22, 2017 3 8 TREAT ACNE WITH OXY ON-THE-GO ACNE STICK OXY ® Acne Medication brings innova- tion to the acne care aisle with a first of its kind, on-the-go benzoyl peroxide acne treatment. OXY, a trusted skincare brand for more than 40 years, is leading innovation with the new OXY On-The-Go Acne Stick, an effective and easy to use 5 per- cent benzoyl peroxide acne treatment. Most acne care products are inconven- ient, limiting consumers to a bathroom with a sink and mirror to wash their face and hands to apply treatment, but the portable and mess-free OXY On-The-Go Acne Stick solves that problem. It also promotes out-of-home incremental acne treatments, creating a new usage setting for teenage consumers. "Acne is difficult to deal with at any time, but becomes even more of a con- cern as students go to school," says Erick Estrada, Mentholatum Senior Marketing Director of OTC Brands. "We want to make sure students can have an effective acne treatment to get clear skin, even when they are away from home." The OXY On-The-Go Acne Stick is conveniently packaged in a slim, solid and mess-free form, offering consumers a highly portable option to treat their pim- ples. The OXY On-The-Go Acne Stick began shipping in January 2017. "I'm excited to announce our new OXY On-The-Go Acne Stick, which is an innovative, quick and easy way to treat pim- ples anytime, anywhere," Estrada said. "We developed this unique delivery sys- tem with patented Microsponge ® tech- nology, delivering clinically proven 5 percent benzoyl peroxide to kill acne- causing bacteria without over-drying the skin." OXY acne medication has a variety of effective and easy to use forms, such as pads, face washes and a spot treatment, and are formulated with clinically proven acne-fighting ingredients, like benzoyl peroxide, the No. 1 active ingredient recommended by dermatologists to kill acne bacteria, and salicylic acid (to help clear even the most stubborn acne). OXY products are designed for teens and can be used by various skin types. For more information, visit booth #129 or go to www.oxyskincare.com. OPERATIONS-BASED EXEMPLARY PROVIDER PHARMACY ACCREDITATION Medicare-approved for DMEPOS and Rural Health Clinics (RHC), The Compliance Team's (TCT) nationally recognized Exemplary Provider ® accred- itation features tracks for all pharmacy services that build on existing business and patient care practices with a focus on process simplification and standardiza- tion. Inspired by the teachings of Florence Nightingale, and modern-day quality icons W. Edwards Deming and Masaaki Imai, Sandra (Sandy) C. Canally, RN, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, in the mid-1990s, developed the first healthcare accreditation model that incorporates fraud and abuse quality standards as well as point-of-contact con- tinuous improvement measures. TCT's accreditation process is oper- ations-based and designed to standardize an organization's everyday patient care practices, streamline their business oper- ations and validate their quality. (There is no need for participating providers to change their business models.) First-time applicants enroll for three years. It takes on average four hours a week over a four-month period to implement the program. Sector specific plain language Safety-Honesty-Caring ® quali- ty standards accompany each program along with expert one-on-one implemen- tation mentoring, access to TCT's nation- al patient satisfaction reporting and benchmarking database and hundreds of document templates. The Pharmacy Services accredita- tion program covers: community phar- macy including Medicare-approved DMEPOS; sterile compounding; non- sterile compounding; long-term care; specialty drugs; infusion; and travel/retail clinic. A TCT Accreditation Advisor is assigned to each new participating organiza- tion. The Advisor con- ducts a series of orien- tation webinars that focus on the follow- ing areas: administration, patient servic- es, infection control, risk management, corporate compliance, human resources, government regulatory, and when appli- cable, CMS' Rural Health Clinic Conditions for Certification. The net effect is a dramatically sim- plified and cost-effective accreditation process.

Since 1897, the company has supported the medical community and provided quality pharmaceutical and over the counter products. As a full man- ufacturing facility, it is able to develop and manufacture products that meet the needs of physicians and patients. The company's current portfolio consists of RectiCare ® , DerMend ® Mature Skin Solutions and Heliocare ® – all unique products that are promoted both to physicians and consumers. With its expanding sales force, the company will be focused on driving more patients and consumers into stores with recom- mendations for its product lines. RectiCare reinvigorated the hemor- rhoidal preparations category as a new, premium priced hemorrhoidal product. With the highest lidocaine strength avail- able over-the-counter, it provided patients with fast, powerful relief not pre- viously available on retail shelves. RectiCare's popularity is driven by strong physi- cian recom- mendation as well as a full consumer media campaign. Based on the success of DerMend Moisturizing Bruise Formula in the first aid section, the brand is now launching a new line of DerMend Mature Skin Solutions products. The line offers products designed with dermatologists specifically for the skin conditions we experience as we get older. As we age, our skin loses its resilience both above and below the surface, causing unwant- ed changes in its appearance and struc- ture. The DerMend line of products contains unique formulas to help restore, rejuvenate and maintain mature skin's health and a more youthful appearance. New products launched in 2017 with a robust pipeline planned in future years. Heliocare capsules are designed to help maintain the skin's ability to protect against the aging effects of free radicals. Heavily studied and used over the last 25 years in other parts of the world, Heliocare is now frequently recommend- ed by dermatologists throughout the United States due to its powerful, unique and clinically-proven antioxidant proper- ties to help maintain youthful, more resilient skin. "Beauty from within" vita- mins are producing growth within the vitamin and supplement category, espe- cially those recommended by physicians and proven scientific data.
