Dermatological Beauty

The popularity of aesthetic treatments is growing everywhere in the world. In the most developed countries, up to one in three consumers has undertaken a procedure, with more men and young consumers wanting to prevent signs of ageing. In the Dermatological Beauty Division, we leverage the complementarity between topicals and procedures to set new standards of beauty performance. This is what we call integrated skincare. Aesthetic treatments address both cosmetic desires and dermatological conditions like acne scarring. They are driving a strong demand for highly efficient products used before and after treatments. Eighty-seven percent of procedure “doers” have indeed used skincare to accompany or complement their most recent procedure.

As the global dermocosmetics leader, underpinned by unique partnerships with world-renowned aesthetic dermatologists as well as state-of-the-art clinical proofs, we are uniquely positioned to capitalise on the fast-growing professional aesthetic market. Globally, SkinCeuticals is recognised as the number one medical aesthetic brand, with Skinbetter Science ranked third. SkinCeuticals’ recent A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum is a double-patented formula that provides visible lift and was tested on GLP-1 patients as a regimen with A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced Cream to address the “Ozempic face” – the sagging effect following rapid weight loss of patients undergoing GLP-1 treatment. This underscores our commitment to accompany dermatologists to help them better serve their patients.

The Dermatological Beauty Division upholds the need for sun protection. Despite its importance, daily SPF use remains low: in the US for example, only 18% of men and 42% of women use sunscreen every day. Lower sunscreen usage can stem from dissatisfaction with the product experience, especially in hot and humid countries. Leveraging these consumer insights, L’Oréal Dermatological Beauty has refined its suncare offerings.

Building on more than 85 years of research, we innovate with new textures and formulations to increase the daily adoption of SPF around the world. In 2025, La Roche-Posay launched Anthelios UVAIR™ SPF 50+, providing ultra-light, broad-spectrum sun protection and hydration that feels invisible on the skin; and Anthelios UVMUNE 400 Anti-Dark Spot Fluid, a breakthrough solution powered by L’Oréal’s patented Mexoryl 400 and Melasyl™️. This formula protects against ultra-long UVA rays while helping to fade dark spots and prevent hyperpigmentation.

We also address the urgent need for skin cancer prevention and detection through advocacy. In 2025, La Roche-Posay’s #DermsAgainstBurns campaign quickly worked with skin health experts to counter a dangerous TikTok “sunburn stripes” challenge among young people. The brand also engaged the gaming community through its Gaming for Cause initiative, running a 24-hour global livestream across 10 countries, which raised $230,000 for melanoma checks and skin cancer prevention.

From hair loss to dandruff, hair and scalp concerns are the second leading reason for consulting a dermatologist . Hair is now the fastest-growing segment, yet it remains very underdeveloped: haircare in dermocosmetics only represents one third of haircare in total beauty.

Leading the charge are two key brands: Vichy Dercos and CeraVe. Vichy Dercos, a pioneer in hair and scalp research, has become the most recommended haircare brand by dermatologists and the leader in dermatology markets where it has been present for the past five years. Its new Dercos Aminexil R.E.G.E.N. applies longevity science to haircare. This scalp serum uses a unique blend of actives like Aminexil and Niacinamide to combat hair loss and promote healthy hair growth. Advanced technology is also behind solutions like Vichy ScalpConsultPro, a smart camera used by pharmacists to give accurate scalp and hair beauty diagnosis for targeted treatment recommendations.

Meanwhile, CeraVe, the number one dermatologist-recommended skincare brand in the United States, has expanded into haircare with its first anti-dandruff range, a breakthrough system that effectively eliminates visible flakes without disrupting the scalp barrier.

Over two billion people globally currently live with skin conditions, with not enough dermatologists in the world to address their needs. One third of countries has only one dermatologist for every one hundred thousand people. The demand for dermatological solutions is increasing, due to several factors including stress, climate change impact and pollution.

At L’Oreal Dermatological Beauty, we believe access to skin health should be a right, not a privilege. As the leader of dermatological beauty, we consider it our duty to help address the challenges of our ecosystem. That’s why we launched, in collaboration with the World Health Organization and the International League of Dermatological Societies (ILDS), the L’Oréal Act for Dermatology program.

This €20 million fund is structured around four pillars: pioneer knowledge on access to skin health, raise awareness on skin health challenges, empower education, and scale proven successful solutions. As part of the first pillar, we launched the Global Skin Health Observatory, the first comprehensive study assessing challenges in accessing dermatological care across 158 countries. Additionally, together with the ILDS, we contributed to the creation of the first-of-its-kind, inclusive databank of skin pathologies images certified by dermatologists. This open-source tool will help transform derm education and increase access to skin health everywhere in the world.
