It was in 1947 that the great story began in France when Dr Louis Raymond Renaud created a company with the same name: Laboratoire Dr Renaud. In addition to offering innovative quality skin care products, Dr Renaud quickly understood the importance of training people who would be called upon to become more than just salespeople, but real advisers. Thus was born the profession of experts in aesthetic and beauty care, also called aesthetician. History is then strewn with innumerable successes and 2009 marks another important step with the establishment of a Canter of Excellence for Research and Development in dermatology and cosmetology within its facilities.
