CeraVe's Commitment to Global Skin Health

On October 28, 2025, CeraVe, the leading dermatologist-recommended skincare brand in the USA, marked its significant role on World Skin Health Day by partnering with the International League of Dermatological Societies (ILDS) and the International Society of Dermatology (ISD). The campaign was designed to tackle the global skincare crisis affecting billions who lack access to dermatological care.

A Crisis of Access

Skin diseases impact nearly a third of the global population, yet in many regions, the availability of dermatological services is drastically low. In fact, billions of people, especially in underserved areas, are without sufficient access to dermatologists. CeraVe's recent initiative reached over 3,900 patients worldwide, highlighting the urgent need to bridge this gap in healthcare provision.

With World Skin Health Day held annually on July 8, the event not only educates about skin health but also promotes discussions and activities aimed at improving skin health across the globe. In its second consecutive year as an official corporate partner for the initiative, CeraVe's activism spanned nine countries, significantly raising awareness and fostering engagement.

Global Engagement and Impact

This year's efforts saw contributions from individuals and organizations across 76 countries. Their collective stories and campaign messages resonated with over 4.5 million people, marking an unprecedented outreach that included a celebration of CeraVe’s 20th anniversary. The event brought together top dermatologists and influencers to share insights about available skincare solutions, reinforcing CeraVe's commitment to enhancing global skin health.

Noteworthy Achievements

• - Initiatives Across 9 Countries: Spanning five continents, the program activated numerous local initiatives aimed at offering skincare resources to those most in need.
• - Supporting Over 3,900 Patients: CeraVe's outreach focused on delivering expert skin health services to disadvantaged populations.
• - Engaging Over 4.5 Million People: Through social media and live events, CeraVe successfully spread its message to a vast audience.
• - Governmental Support: Over 200 officials pledged their support for enhancing skin health initiatives within their jurisdictions.

Local Outcomes

The outreach initiative was robust, with more than 11 localized events conducted, exemplifying the depth of CeraVe’s commitment:

• - Indonesia: Local dermatological services reached over 220 patients, with assistance from over 60 government officials.
• - Nigeria: More than 1,200 patients accessed dermatological services for the first time.
• - Bangladesh: Mobile dermatological units delivered essential care to over 1,000 individuals in flood-prone areas.
• - Philippines: Nearly 50 dermatologists treated 163 patients in remote communities, while also training 136 healthcare workers.

In the U.S., CeraVe collaborated with the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics (NAFC) to enhance skin health among underserved populations. Dermatologists volunteered their time to examine patients at NAFC clinics, while L'Oreal skincare counselors facilitated educational sessions that benefited both patients and volunteers, fostering ongoing commitment to skin health.

Voices from the Field

Ariana Gordillo, Director of NAFC, remarked, “Our ongoing partnership with CeraVe has greatly benefited our clinics, providing not just educational opportunities but also expanding the scope of care we offer to our patients.” CeraVe's dedication opens doors for meaningful healthcare solutions where they are needed most.

Professor Henry W. Lim, President of ILDS, highlighted the annual event's importance by stating, “This year’s World Skin Health Day underscored the profound impact of skin diseases on billions of people globally.” The gathering provided critical education, reinforcing the urgent need for improved access to dermatological care worldwide.
