Dermo-cosmetics
Building on our medical background - a valuable asset that makes us unique in the cosmetics industry -, we develop scientific dermo-cosmetics to care for all skin and hair types, so all our patients and consumers are covered.
Innovating for scientific dermo-cosmetics
Our goal is to develop dermo-cosmetics that are part of a holistic approach to managing skin conditions. This vision stays true to the original concept of dermo-cosmetics invented and shaped by Mr. Pierre Fabre back in the 1970s.
For example, A-Derma Exomega revolutionized dermo-cosmetics in 1994 when it launched the first skin care product with Omega-6 to soothe and reinforce the skin barrier of atopy-prone, fragile, and irritated skin types. Exomega proved itself to be a trailblazer again in 2024, with a repairing emollient night cream inspired by pharmaceutical pathways to help modulate cytokine IL-31 expression linked to itching and dry skin.
Our medical expertise puts us a step ahead when it comes to understanding patients and pathologies.
We leverage that expertise to develop highly effective care products that can be used in addition or as follow-up to medical treatments, as in the case of severe acne, for example.
Caring for your skin... and your soul
Consumers everywhere are increasingly concerned about their skin health. A third of people affected by a skin disorder suffer from a related depressive syndrome, even leading to depression in some cases. Our aim is therefore to provide powerful skin care options, and at the same time help patients overcome social and psychological issues related to their skin condition. Our dermo-cosmetic brands are firmly committed to that mission.

A portfolio of cutting-edge brands
We are building a portfolio of cutting-edge brands, each serving a very clear and specific purpose.
Avène expertise
Eau Thermale Avène confirms its "medical skin care" expertise through innovative products including Cleanance Comedomed Peeling cream launched in 2024. It reduces the volume and redness of pimples from day one.
Dermo-proteomics, fragile skin science
A-Derma is the fragile skin expert, with a scientific approach based on dermo-proteomics, which studies the role of essential skin proteins.
Building bridges between dermo-cosmetics and pharmaceuticals
Our ambition is to deliver dermo-cosmetic products that can be used as a complement to prescription drugs and improve adherence to dermatological treatments.
For instance, eczema patients apply a dermo-corticosteroid cream in the morning, and A-Derma Exomega Night cream in the evening to provide relief and reduce nighttime itching by half.
Another example: our medically controlled studies have proven that Ducray Keracnyl PP cream visibly reduces imperfections when used in combination with the seven most commonly prescribed anti-acne drugs.
As for Même Cosmetics, its specially-designed products are gentle enough for cancer patients, so you can still take care of yourself and look good during the treatment phase. As a result, they improve adherence to treatments.
Caring for your hair
At Pierre Fabre, our expertise is channeled into good hair and scalp health. With that goal in mind, our brands Klorane, René Furterer, Ducray and Darrow develop innovative solutions to offer a broad range of products tackling every kind of hair issue, including dry hair, greasy hair, color-treated or sensitive hair, dandruff control, hair loss, density loss, dull hair, and more.

Ducray
Since 1930, DUCRAY Dermatological Laboratories has been constantly reinventing itself by bringing innovative, highly-effective dermatological care products to the market. Nothing beats science when it comes to setting patients free from their skin and scalp problems. DUCRAY has developed a revolutionary way of managing dandruff: called KELUAL DS INTENSIVE, this anti-dandruff shampoo totally eliminates dandruff, intense itching, and burning sensations.
Klorane
For over 60 years, Klorane has been developing targeted care products made from medicinal plants: each formula contains active ingredients from our Medicinal Plants that have been rigorously selected to address a specific hair or skin issue, with proven efficacy promoting clean beauty.
René Furterer
René Furterer, a committed pioneer of hair treatments and an expert in essential oils, created the perfect alchemy between highly-effective care products with ultimate sensory appeal and 100% natural-origin key ingredients.
Darrow
An itchy, red, flaky scalp is usually a sign of seborrhoeic dermatitis, better known as dandruff.
To provide sufferers with rapid relief, Darrow launched Doctar, a range of highly concentrated anti-dandruff shampoos, which is leader on the Brazilian market and delivers results from the very first use.
