L’ORÉAL
In partnership with the International League of Dermatological Societies (ILDS) and the 24th World Congress of Dermatology (WCD), L’Oréal announced the laureates of the third International Awards for Social Responsibility in Dermatology: “Caring to Inspire Skin Confidence”.
This aims to reward social initiatives led by dermatologists, improving patients’ physical and psychological well-being, self-esteem, social integration and skin health, and enabling patients to re-engage socially.
Brigitte Liberman
, President of L’Oréal’s Active Cosmetics
Division, said: “Social responsibility is a priority for L’Oréal and
we are proud to partner with the ILDS and the WCD to reward iconic
dermatologists having positive actions on people’s lives”
.
Professor
Harvey Lui, President of the ILDS
, added: “Beyond the day-to-day
activities of dermatologists in managing patients with skin issues,
there is a vital social role, which is exemplified through our
partnership for these awards and lies at the heart of the ILDS
philosophy to promote skin health for the world.”
A total of 123 projects across the world were evaluated by a panel of
experts. Dermatological projects fulfilling at least one of the
following three categories were accepted for assessment:
–
Prevention and education on skin health;
– Improved quality of life
and self-esteem for people facing skin issues;
– Access to care,
coverage and surgery.
An independent jury of dermatologists representing the ILDS selected the top five projects (see list below and in our Press Kit ). Professor Giovanni Pellacani, President of WCD and jury member , said: “We are very pleased to give the awards in front of the dermatological community in the context of the World Congress of Dermatology.”
