In 2021, the global anti-acne cosmetics market reached a significant value of USD 4.13 billion ($6.1 billion), and analysts project robust growth with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of nine per cent from 2022 to 2030, according to Grand View Research.
The market’s expansion is primarily fuelled by two key factors: the prevalent social stigma surrounding acne and the increasing use of cosmetics by individuals across genders, particularly in emerging economies. As consumers seek effective solutions to address acne-related concerns, the demand for anti-acne cosmetics continues to surge, driving the market’s impressive growth trajectory.
La Roche-Posay continues to prioritise innovation by driving advancements in science and technology when it comes to beauty.
The L’Oréal-owned brand revealed some startling statistics at its A-Z of Acne event featuring a panel discussion with leading Dermatologist Dr JoAnn See, La Roche-Posay Scientific Communications Manager Jodi Hindmarsh, La Roche-Posay ambassador Laura Henshaw and Pharmacist and university teacher Jamil Karaki, hosted by Matty Mills at Bondi Icebergs.
These included that 80 percent of teenagers and 40 percent of adults worldwide are affected by acne, with a worrying 97 percent of acne patients reporting a reduced quality of life and that 600 million Google searches are made per year by people seeking acne solutions.
The brand’s Effaclar anti-acne skincare range, catering to sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin, is witnessing significant growth due to consumer demand.
The Effaclar range has been scientifically formulated to effectively target breakouts and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and marks while preventing moisture loss and dehydration.
The key ingredients in this range include salicylic acid, which deeply unclogs pores and reduces imperfections, LHAs to gently micro-exfoliate and refine pores, glycolic acid to renew the skin’s surface, and niacinamide to maintain skin hydration.
The Micro-Peeling Purifying Gel in a 400ml pump bottle, which is more suitable for body cleansing, particularly for the chest and back areas, was showcased at the event.
“La Roche-Posay’s Effaclar Micro-Peeling Purifying Gel is now available in a larger size to enable longer use when for the purpose of cleansing the body as well as face. The new pump bottle vessel also makes for easier dispensing whether it be a bath or shower staple for those with acne-prone skin,” said Hindmarsh.
