Our Search for the Next Big Breakthrough in Skin Health Innovation

Johnson & Johnson Consumer Health is best known for its iconic brands. But what you may not know is that we are also one of the most innovative and scientifically driven consumer businesses in the world.

In our quest to change the future of skin health through next-generation science, we’re constantly investing in forward-thinking solutions for everything from acne to wrinkles to preventing skin cancer caused by sunburn. By pursuing the latest advancements for the most pressing skin concerns, we can enhance our existing brands, bring new offerings to market and build an exciting pipeline of next-generation skincare—all in service of meeting our consumers’ evolving needs.

We know that the next breakthrough in skin health can come from anywhere, and that’s why we seek opportunities to partner with skincare innovators and entrepreneurs around the globe. Through our partnership with Johnson & Johnson Innovation’s JLABS, we launched the Skincare of the Future QuickFire Challenge. JLABS is specifically dedicated to removing obstacles and helping innovators unleash the potential of their early scientific discoveries.

Our first China-based challenge aimed to find the minds behind tomorrow’s skin health breakthroughs. After receiving applications from more than 11 countries, Rejuven Dermaceutical and LILLYCOVER were selected as the awardees for their advancements in skin rejuvenation and data-based skincare recommendations respectively.

Johnson & Johnson Consumer Health is uniquely positioned to help skin health entrepreneurs accelerate their cutting-edge dermatological technologies by providing them with grant funding, marketing support and expert mentorship. I’m truly inspired by these visionaries, and I can’t wait to follow the launch of their products this summer and all of the exciting advancements they’ll bring to the future of skincare. Working together, we can harness their entrepreneurial spirit and apply our commitment to innovation to deliver better insights and solutions, bringing their ideas to life and eventually into the hands of our customers and consumers.

Innovating with technology to deliver personalized, solution-oriented skin care is just the latest frontier in our journey. Johnson & Johnson scientists perfected retinol as the gold standard for anti-aging treatment more than 25 years ago, and we have been committed to applying the latest science and technology to skin health ever since. With a history of relentlessly pursuing scientific breakthroughs, our customers, consumers and healthcare professionals know and trust the science behind our products and look to us to deliver the skin health of the future.
