EVENTSLa Roche-Posay Announces Dates for Living Lab Nigeria in Lagos

The dermatological skincare brand will bring its Living Lab experience to Lagos this November, with interactive skin science experiences, dermatologist consultations and access to its latest innovations.

La Roche-Posay has officially announced the dates for Living Lab Nigeria, its first Living Lab experience in the country and Nigeria’s first live skin science experience. The experience will open to the public on 5 and 6 November 2026 at Oasis by The Five Palm, Victoria Island, Lagos, bringing together dermatological science, innovation, and expert-led skin education in an interactive setting. Inspired by La Roche-Posay’s Living Lab in Paris, the Nigerian edition has been designed to bring people closer to the science behind their skin. Across two days, visitors will be able to explore some of the research, formulations, and innovations behind La Roche-Posay while learning more about concerns including hyperpigmentation, acne, sun exposure, sensitive skin, atopy, and skin barrier damage. “Skincare has become an increasingly important conversation in Nigeria, but this interest needs to be matched by access to credible information,” said Nadia Amasa, L’Oréal Dermatological Beauty. “Living Lab gives us an opportunity to bring our science closer to the Nigerian people. Consumers can ask questions, engage with experts, and better understand their skin and the science behind La Roche-Posay products.”

A major part of the experience will be five dedicated Innovation Corners, each exploring the science and technology behind the Mela B3, Anthelios, Effaclar, Cicaplast, and Lipikar ranges. Through demonstrations and interactive activities, visitors will be able to learn more about the relationship between UV exposure and pigmentation, what happens to acne-prone skin, the importance of the skin barrier, and how different skin concerns can be better understood and managed. The experience will also feature the Blue House, taking guests through more than 50 years of La Roche-Posay’s dermatological research and innovation. At the Scars of Life Cinema, visitors will be introduced to personal stories exploring the physical and emotional impact of skin conditions, with a focus on atopy, atopic-prone skin, and the role of Lipikar in its care. For visitors with questions about their own skin, certified dermatologists and skincare experts will offer free consultations throughout the public experience, creating an opportunity to receive expert guidance and better understand individual skin concerns.

“Many people only see a dermatologist once a skin concern has become difficult to manage, and there is still a great deal of misinformation around concerns such as acne and hyperpigmentation,” said Dr. Folakemi Cole-Adeife, Consultant Physician & Dermatologist and member of the L’Oréal Dermatological Beauty MedSquad. “Creating spaces where people can engage directly with dermatologists and ask questions about their skin can support better understanding, earlier intervention, and more informed skincare choices.”

Visitors will also be able to shop their preferred La Roche-Posay products at the Living Lab Pop-Up Store, with 15% off purchases in partnership with Konga Health throughout the experience. Event Details and How to Register Living Lab Nigeria will first open on 4 November 2026 for dermatologists, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals, alongside a media preview, ahead of the public experience on 5 and 6 November. Registration for the public experience is free at www.livinglabnigeria.com. Visitors can select a time slot, which grants access to the full Living Lab experience.
