"The best barometer for our future sales is the way our products are received during these launches. I must admit that we were pleasantly surprised with the positive reception we have seen in the recent weeks. The Cibaderm launch is creating a 'buzz' in the global media as well as point-of-sale purchases that are beyond our initial expectations. These products make a great holiday gift and folks are purchasing them faster than we can put them out.
