# Dermatology-Promoting Collaborations L’oréal and ILDS Partner Up to Take on an In-Depth Study By Georgia Wray Norsten | Published 2024-10-24 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loral-and-ilds References: [cosmeticsdesign-asia](https://www.cosmeticsdesign-asia.com/Article/2024/10/18/l-oreal-partners-with-ilds-to-tackle-a-significant-but-overlooked-health-challenge?utm_source=newsletter_daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=23-Oct-2024&cid=DM1165136&bid=533014899)  L'Oréal and ILDS (International League of Dermatological Societies) have teamed up in an ambitious partnership to address a significant yet often overlooked health challenge: global skin diseases. This collaboration marks a critical step in improving access to dermatological care, particularly in underserved regions. Their project, the "Global Access to Skin Health Observatory," will investigate the global distribution of dermatologists and barriers to treatment to close gaps in dermatological healthcare. The initiative also highlights how a lack of dermatologists and care facilities affects vast populations worldwide, particularly in rural and urban-poor areas. The study will broadly analyze care accessibility across 30 countries, covering key regions in Africa, Europe, and Asia. The results will inform future strategies to ensure better skin health access globally. By leveraging its expertise in dermatology through brands like La Roche-Posay and CeraVe, L'Oréal, alongside ILDS, aims to significantly improve healthcare and the quality of life for millions affected by skin diseases. This partnership underscores their commitment to advancing dermatological care globally.
