IDC Dermo, the Québec-based skincare company known for its science-driven approach to anti-aging, has announced a major national expansion through Shoppers Drug Mart. The move brings the brand’s award-winning, Canadian-made products to hundreds of stores across the country, making its research-led solutions accessible to a far larger audience.
The rollout marks a defining moment for the brand, which has sold over one million units since its founding. “Expanding across Canada with Shoppers Drug Mart marks the next chapter in our mission to make high-performance, science-backed skincare more accessible, without compromising on quality, integrity, or performance,” said Derek Pickford, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at IDC Dermo.
IDC Dermo was founded by brothers Luc and Éric Dupont, who drew on more than two decades of pharmaceutical research and a track record of supplying active ingredients to global beauty brands. Their vision was to create products that targeted the root causes of skin aging, rather than masking symptoms.
Central to the company’s innovation is the patented ReGen16 Skin Formulation Protocol, a comprehensive approach that simultaneously addresses 16 distinct biological mechanisms tied to skin aging, including oxidation, inflammation, glycation, and dehydration. This multi-mechanism protocol positions IDC Dermo as a leader in advanced dermocosmetics.
“Our goal from the beginning was to offer skincare that could achieve visible, measurable results,” Pickford said. “ReGen16 allows us to take a systemic approach to skin health, supporting it as a whole, rather than treating individual concerns in isolation.”
Nationwide Reach Through Shoppers Drug Mart
For IDC Dermo, the partnership with Shoppers Drug Mart represents a strategic move to grow beyond its strong Québec customer base. The national rollout ensures that Canadians coast-to-coast can access its dermatologist-tested products both in-store and online at Shoppersdrugmart.ca.
“At Shoppers Drug Mart, we are proud to support the growth of homegrown Canadian brands,” said Sandy Santucci, Category Director. “Our exclusive partnership with IDC Dermo reflects our confidence in the brand’s innovation and commitment to results. In today’s economic climate, it’s more important than ever to champion Canadian and Québec-based brands that bring value and performance to our customers.”
The launch features a curated selection of IDC Dermo’s best-selling products, including the newly reformulated Express Multi-Action Cream. It is offered in three targeted versions: a fragrance-free option for sensitive skin, a lightweight formula for combination to oily skin, and an SPF 30 version that provides daily protection. Each is designed to suit a variety of skincare needs.
Complementing the cream is the Express Multi-Action Cream-to-Foam Cleanser, which delivers seven benefits in a single step. Together, these products provide consumers with a streamlined regimen focused on measurable results.
