The Atlantic Coast Media Group – creators of skin care products such as Hydroxatone, Hydrolyze and Luminique – cut the ceremonial ribbon on their new headquarters in the Newport section of Jersey City on Tuesday night.
“We are pleased to welcome such a vibrant and growing company to our city and look forward to a productive future together,” Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy said.

The company will receive $3.69 million over the next 10 years from the state’s Business Employment Incentive Program, based on an anticipated creation of 304 jobs, said New Jersey Economic Development Authority spokeswoman Erin Gold….
