In 2020, with the intention of spreading acceptance for all skin and encouraging people to embrace their unique journey, La Roche Posay declared September 1st as Acne Positivity Day—and in 2023, the brand is opening the doors to a two-day Positivity Lab pop-up in NYC.
Millions of Americans experience acne and it's the most common skin condition in the country. The brand's new pop-up experience speaks to the many people who suffer with acne-prone skin and it aims to destigmatize the reality of acne and empower people to embrace their unique selves.
At the New York City pop-up, there will be a Science of Skin exhibit, a meditation lounge, a Positivity Photo Booth, a Doodle Bar featuring custom art by local artists, plus La Roche-Posay skincare samples and much more.
