Marketing In Brief

Bioré: Beyond Smooth Daily Moisturizer for face combines moisturizer plus shave minimizing benefits, Andrew Jergens says. Item contains ginger root extract, which "makes hair softer, finer and less noticeable," firm claims. Product will bow in food, drug and mass outlets in March and will retail in 4 oz. bottle for $6.99.
