Dermatology and dermocosmetics: a long-standing commitment

HCC has extensive experience in the sector and has collaborated with leading brands such as Vichy, Bioderma (now part of Naos), and Skinius. HCC as also supported scientific societies, including Sidemast, Adoi, and Isplad. Notable projects include managing scientific communication for Galderma (2017-2022) and recent psoriasis awareness campaigns for Johnson & Johnson, which demonstrate HCC's ongoing commitment to promoting skin health and well-being.

Dermocosmetics has a long history, with its roots in the skin and body care practices of ancient civilizations, beginning with the Egyptians. However, it did not take shape as we know it today until the 20th century. Thanks to advances in research and technology, dermocosmetics has evolved into a field of dermatology focusing on using cosmetic products with active ingredients to care for the skin, prevent or treat specific problems,and maintain healthy skin.

A wealth of experience in dermatology and dermocosmetics for HCC

We began in the 1990s, by translating Vichy's slogan, “Health also comes through the skin”, into scientific communication terms. We also facilitated the introduction of several L'Oreal brands into the dermatological world. We have helped dermocosmetic companies such as Bioderma, and now the Naos group, to gain credibility in the sector. We introduced Skinius to the press. We have collaborated extensively with the scientific societies, including Sidemast (Italian Society of Dermatology and Sexually Transmitted Diseases), Adoi (Italian Association of Hospital Dermatologists), and Isplad (Italian Society of Plastic Regenerative and Oncologic Dermatology). We supported prof. Antonino di Pietro in creating the Vita Cutis Dermoclinical Institute in collaboration with the San Donato Hospital Group. From 2017 to 2022, we managed communications for Galderma's Rx division, which deals with acne, actinic keratosis, and rosacea. Psoriasis is another condition on which we focus; currently, we are handling Johnson & Johnson's awareness campaigns, such as "Beyond Appearances" (2022-2023) and "Screening Break" (2024).
