Failure To Arouse Interest In The U.S. Drives L’Oréal To Pull Decléor Brand

French skincare brand Decléor, which L’Oréal acquired along with Carita from Shiseido three years ago, failed to make a dent within the professional channel in the U.S. After a year, the brand was carried at only 350 locations in the U.S., despite a brand refresh that included a new logo, new advertising and promotional materials, and a U.S. ambassador, celebrity facialist Mzia Shiman. L’Oréal pulled the plug on the aromatherapy-based face and body products in the U.S. market as of June 30. [ Image credit: © Decléor  ]
