Every minute, 4 women worldwide are diagnosed with breast cancer, and in Canada, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with it during her lifetime. What’s less often discussed: 80% of people undergoing cancer treatment experience skin-related side effects, such as redness, dryness, and a burning sensation.
That’s why Bioderma is proud to partner with Look Good Feel Better, a national organization that helps more than 10,000 people affected by cancer regain their confidence and well-being across Canada.
LOOK GOOD FEEL BETTER
“Helping people facing cancer feel like themselves again”
Look Good Feel Better provides psychosocial support to Canadians before, during, and after cancer treatment. Through free workshops and a wide range of resources—including their website, print materials, social channels, and podcast—they offer practical guidance and emotional support at every stage of the cancer journey. Most importantly, their programs foster connection and build a strong, supportive community.
HOW DOES BIODERMA SUPPORT THE CAUSE?
HOW BIODERMA SUPPORTS THE CAUSE
At BIODERMA, we believe that taking care of your skin can contribute to your well-being and self-confidence, especially when your skin is compromised by cancer treatments.
That’s why BIODERMA Canada is proud to support Belle et Bien dans sa Peau (Look Good Feel Better) to help make resources, advice, and tailored care more accessible to people affected by cancer across Canada.
SUPPORT FOR EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
BIODERMA provides financial support for the Belle et Bien dans sa Peau pre-treatment guide, a resource distributed to more than 250 healthcare professionals across Canada to support and better inform people before, during, and after their treatments.
PRODUCTS OFFERED TO WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS
Because treatments can make the skin more sensitive and require a tailored routine, BIODERMA also supports Belle et Bien dans sa Peau’s workshops by providing 2,700 Sensibio H2O products to participants, notably in gift bags as well as in kits designed specifically for men and teenagers.
AN INITIATIVE AT PARTNER PHARMACIES
From October 1 through December 31, BIODERMA will extend its in-store commitment: $1 will be donated to “Belle et Bien dans sa Peau” with the purchase of a Sensibio H2O duo.*
