PIONEERS IN EXPOSOME SCIENCE
For 40+ years, we’ve investigated the effects of the exposome, a combination of lifestyle, environmental and hormonal factors that compromise skin health and accelerate skin aging.
WHAT IS THE EXPOSOME?
The exposome is comprised of internal and external aggressors including UVA/UVB rays, temperature fluctuations, pollution, stress and diet that damage the skin barrier and cause up to 80% of all skin aging.
WHAT ARE THE FACTORS?
"The exposome has a major role in skin health because it is our first line of defense and largest organ of our body...air pollution, UV exposure, abrupt temperature variations, diet and stress, as well as the excesses of urban lifestyles weaken the skin barrier function, ultimately accelerating the aging process and visibly changing one’s appearance. These daily aggressors actually account for 80% of skin aging."

OUR EXPOSOME EXPERTS
As a pioneer in exposome science, Vichy Laboratoires has created an international & multi-disciplinary medical board to increase knowledge of the cumulative and synergistic effects between exposome factors. This board gathers 8 medical experts with specific expertise of each exposome factor, including a dermatologist-nutritionist, an endocrinologist, a dermatologist expert in UV, a dermatologist expert in pollution, a psycho-biologist, an environmental biologist expert and a biostastician epidemiologist. This medical board is dedicated to researching the exposome and educating dermatologists worldwide on the effects the exposome on skin.
