Vichy Laboratoires Names Paris Saint-Germain Official Skin Care Partner
The L'Oréal-owned brand expands its sports marketing efforts, building on a collaboration with PSG midfielder Vitinha earlier this year.
Vichy Laboratoires Forms PSG Partnership
Vichy Laboratoires, a skin care brand owned by L'Oréal, has announced its partnership with French football club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). The agreement designates Vichy Laboratoires as PSG's Official Skin Care and Hair Care Partner.
This collaboration follows an earlier engagement this year between the brand and PSG midfielder Vitinha, signaling an ongoing strategy to connect with sports audiences. The partnership aims to combine PSG's high-performance sporting environment and its comprehensive approach to health with Vichy Laboratoires' dermatological science and advanced skin and hair care products.
Shared Focus on Science and Performance
Jamel Boutiba, Global Brand President of Vichy Laboratoires, stated that a core element of this partnership is a "shared commitment to science and performance." This alignment shows the brand's intent to associate its products with the demanding physical regimens of elite athletes.
The collaboration intends to highlight how Vichy Laboratoires' offerings support the skin and hair care needs that arise from intensive training and competition, connecting the brand's scientific claims with athletic achievement and wellbeing practices.
Expanding Brand Reach in Asian Markets
This partnership shows how global beauty brands utilize high-profile sports affiliations to expand their consumer base and brand visibility. For Asian beauty executives, this trend suggests evaluating similar opportunities within their own markets.
For example, a major Korean skincare brand might consider a partnership with an esports team, a sector that saw over 500 million viewers globally in 2025, to engage younger consumers in key Southeast Asian markets by early 2027. Such a move could drive a measurable increase in brand recognition and product trials among specific demographics.
