Dermaceutic Laboratoire

What Dermaceutic Laboratoire does

Dermaceutic Laboratoire is a French aesthetic dermatology laboratory founded in 2002 through collaboration with French dermatologists. It develops, manufactures, and commercializes three interconnected product ranges: Cosmeceuticals (consumer-grade skincare including cleansers, exfoliants, serums, day/night creams, masks, and SPF sold through e-commerce and pharmacies), Cliniceuticals (high-concentration clinical-grade products such as Tri Vita C30 and Mela Cream prescribed by skin professionals), and Professional Peels (medical-grade chemical peels including TCA Cosmo Peel 12–20%, Milk Peel, Mask Peel, Crystal Peel, Activa & Mela Peel Forte, and the Class IIa-certified Exo Peel, administered exclusively by certified practitioners).

The company's underlying technology is its "Skintelligent Science" framework, which combines skin biology research, patient-indication mapping (acne, melasma, dehydration, pigmentation, aging), and formulation science to deliver active ingredients — hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, retinol, vitamin C, peptides — at high but controlled concentrations. A four-step ingredient selection process evaluates quality, safety (toxicological review), and efficacy (clinical data). Products are manufactured in France, and Dermaceutic was the first French laboratory to obtain Class IIa certification for its professional peel category.

Dermaceutic operates a hybrid B2B/B2C commercial model. Revenue is generated through direct-to-consumer e-commerce (unit-priced SKUs from €23.90 to €68.90), sales of Cliniceuticals and professional peels exclusively to a network of 30,000+ certified dermatologists and aesthetic practitioners, and distribution partnerships with pharmacies, parapharmacies, and international distributors across 80+ countries. The Protocol+ loyalty program extends dermatologist prescriptions into recurring at-home consumer purchases, reinforcing the B2B2C funnel. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, subsidiaries, or parent entity, and is operationally headquartered and manufactured in France (despite a Dublin entry in the firmographic feed).
