Estee Lauder brands Clinique and La Mer present skin care science innovations at the American Academy of Dermatology Annual Conference, engaging dermatologists and showcasing the latest clinical results for skin care and makeup solutions

At this year’s American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Conference, Clinique and La Mer showcased their latest innovations in skin care science. The AAD is the largest dermatological association in the U.S., and its annual conference is an opportunity for education and networking, hosting more than 15,000 participants among the scientific and dermatological communities.

Clinique was founded in 1968 and since then has been a dermatologist-guided brand. In 1973, Clinique was the first-ever beauty brand invited to the conference, and today it is the number one dermatologist brand in skin care in the U.S.^* Clinique made its return to AAD this year with a number of exciting activations that engaged dermatologists.

During the annual meeting, Clinique hosted an immersive exhibition booth for dermatologists to learn more and experience the brand’s clinical skin care and makeup solutions as well as hear exclusive R&D presentations from Dr. Tom Mammone, Vice President, Bioscience, Advanced Technology Pioneering and Clinique’s Lead Scientist, highlighting the breakthrough clinical results for Clinique Smart Clinical Repair™ Wrinkle Correcting Serum and Smart Clinical Repair Lifting Face and Neck Cream. At the booth, dermatologists were greeted by Clinique’s expert Field Executives and Educators from across the U.S. and were educated on the science behind Clinique’s innovations, dermatological heritage, rigorous safety and efficacy, and the Clinique Eye Safety Promise.

The brand also hosted dermatologists from across the globe at The Doctor Is In event for an intimate evening of discovery, celebration, and connection. During the event, Clinique scientific experts, leadership, Guiding Dermatologists Dr. David and Dr. Catherine Orentreich, Guiding Ophthalmologist Dr. Ashley Brissette, and leading dermatologists joined in conversation, were treated to custom engraved Smart Clinical Repair Lifting Face and Neck Cream, and engaged in content capture opportunities. 

La Mer is a brand built on the tenants of science, research, and innovation. For La Mer’s first event in relation to AAD and to bolster scientific credentialing, the brand hosted an exclusive, intimate presentation, centered around the brand’s latest research on the anti-inflammatory benefits of their hero ingredient, macrocystis pyrifera ferment, or Miracle Broth™️.

Dr. Sarah Vickery, Senior ELC Fellow, Global Scientific Communications & Translational Media, kicked off the event by welcoming the distinguished group of invited dermatologists and introducing La Mer’s speakers. Leading the presentation on La Mer’s latest peer reviewed research, as recently published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, was Dr. Jaime Emmetsberger, La Mer's Lead Scientist and Director, Bioscience, Advanced Technology Pioneering. Additionally, Dr. Rocio Rivera, Senior Vice President, Skin Care Product Development, led a presentation on La Mer’s brand identity and the efficacy of the 3 core moisturizers, Crème de La Mer, The Moisturizing Soft Cream, and The NEW Moisturizing Fresh Cream.

As a part of La Mer’s efforts to foster deeper connections with the dermatological community, Dr. Rivera then hosted a panel conversation between several esteemed external derm partners. In this panel, the speakers had a moderated conversation where they provided scientific background on La Mer’s latest innovations and some of the most relevant new findings in the field of dermatology. Guests were then invited to join La Mer for a private dinner among their peers.
