Strategic collaborations between skincare brands and dermatology clinics are rapidly transforming the anti-acne cosmetics market. These partnerships enable brands to develop scientifically-backed products tailored to specific skin concerns. For instance, in November 2024, Sanofi, A*STAR, and NSC initiated a collaboration to advance acne treatment research, including a Phase 1 clinical trial for mild acne. Similarly, Haut.AI partnered with System Akvile to offer AI-driven personalized acne management solutions. Such alliances not only enhance product efficacy but also build consumer trust through professional endorsements, driving market growth and innovation
