This Purpose is the foundation of our Pierre Fabre business model, which places a focus on listening to patients and health care professionals to shape the innovative solutions of tomorrow.
Dual expertise, forming a whole
Pierre Fabre is known for its dual medical and dermo-cosmetics expertise. This singular position allows us to take a holistic approach, giving successive consideration to disease prevention, its therapeutic treatment and, finally, management of the side effects of treatments on the skin, hair and oral health.
This dual expertise is deployed in various fields, covering both common ailments and rare diseases: skin care, hair care, oral hygiene, dermatology, oncology, chronic diseases and everyday pathologies.
The Transformation Plan, which was completed in 2022, allowed the Group to consolidate the fundamentals of this model and to assert its unique positioning, which combines medical expertise and naturalness for the benefit of people.
Strong ambitions for each activity
Through its Medical Care activity, Pierre Fabre strives to bring promising treatments to patients with unmet medical needs in precision oncology, medical dermatology and rare diseases.
This activity also offers a comprehensive range of OTC products in pharmacies to deal with everyday ailments, as well as treatments prescribed by general practitioners for managing chronic diseases and deficiencies.
Our Dermo-Cosmetics & Personal Care business is tasked with caring of diseases of the skin and scalp, to improve the lives of patients and consumers. Its leading and complementary brands work as closely as possible with health care professionals and their patients to develop innovative and effective treatments that respect the environment and meet the same ethical and scientific standards as prescription drugs.
Working closely with patients and health care professionals to provide support
Pierre Fabre Laboratories still operates from its home region, and now also worldwide, with the aim of cultivating direct contact. Its credo: show agile empathy to understand and meet the needs of patients, consumers and health care professionals.
