L'Oréal has acquired Japanese skincare company Takami Co. The company develops and markets products licensed by the skincare brand Takami, owned by Doctor Hiroshi Takami, founder of two dermatological clinics in Tokyo. Takami, founded in 1999, is a premium skincare brand specializing in peeling. The brand is known for its Skin Peel pre-serum, also called the ‘Little Blue Bottle’ by Asian consumers. L'Oréal has also renewed a long term brand licensing agreement with Doctor Takami and signed a collaboration contract with the Takami clinics. The acquisition will be completed in the next few weeks. 

Cyril Chapuy, President of L’Oréal Luxe, comments on this acquisition: “We are very pleased to welcome the Takami brand into our portfolio. Its reputation in Asia matches the remarkable quality of its products. Its expertise in prestigious beauty treatments and its omnichannel distribution make it a very complementary brand within L’Oréal Luxe."
