Did you know Malaysia has fewer than 200 dermatologists for over 33 million people? That’s a massive skin-care gap and La Roche-Posay skincare aid is stepping up to bridge it. With RM100,000 raised through Watsons Malaysia and an outreach clinic that reached first-time patients in underserved Klang Valley communities, this campaign is a powerful move toward making dermatologist-approved skincare accessible to all.
✨ Why This Matters
Skin conditions like cystic acne, contact dermatitis, and childhood eczema often go untreated not due to apathy, but due to limited access to professionals. Many Malaysians rely on home remedies, unsure of what truly works. La Roche-Posay's mission is simple: bring real, science-backed skincare to the people who need it most.
🚨 The Skin Stats You Need to Know
-
Only ~200 trained dermatologists for 33 million Malaysians
-
That’s 1 dermatologist for every 165,000 people
-
Most clinic attendees had never met a dermatologist
-
Common conditions: cystic acne, eczema, contact dermatitis
-
Simple steps like double cleansing and removing makeup help prevent flare-ups
🎯 The La Roche-Posay Skincare Aid Campaign
La Roche-Posay donated RM2 per product sold at Watsons Malaysia raising a solid RM100,000. The funds go directly to long-term outreach in partnership with the Malaysian Skin Foundation (MSF).
At their recent pop-up clinic, real stories came to light:
“I avoid mirrors, I’ve lost confidence in my appearance,” said Farihih, who’s been battling cystic acne for years.
“I can’t sleep because of the itching,” shared Fina, who suffers from contact dermatitis.
But they left the clinic with more than just product samples: they got personalised care, skin education, and hope.
💙 A Campaign That Actually Delivers
With skin experts like Dato’ Dr Noor Zalmy and Dr Nur Syazwin Sies, and a powerful voice from brand advocate Hannah Delisha, the clinic brought:
-
Free, personalised dermatological consultations
-
On-the-spot diagnoses and skin education
-
Halal-certified product kits from La Roche-Posay
-
Newfound confidence and relief for attendees
🌱 What’s Next?
This RM100,000 is just the beginning. With MSF on board and strong community support, La Roche-Posay skincare aid aims to keep expanding access to dermatologist-level care nationwide especially for those who’ve been left out of the skincare conversation for too long.
