History
Keri Lotion was first introduced by Westwood Pharmaceuticals to the American public in 1960. Keri lotion was put into doctor offices and hospitals, which was how the product was promoted.[1] In 1998, Bristol Myers spent $6 million on advertising its original Keri Brand. In 1999, it was expected to double.
Keri Lotion is now owned by Crown Laboratories, who purchased it on May 1, 2019.
