From innovation to scientific evidence
The Innovation Awards aim to recognise approaches that combine scientific originality with credible experimental evidence and potential practical applications.
Beyond identifying promising technologies, the awards raise an important question: which innovations can move from laboratory findings toward measurable benefits for skin health?
The winners will be announced on Thursday, October 29, during the closing ceremony of Skin Ageing & Challenges 2026 in Málaga.
The congress brings together academic researchers, clinicians and industry scientists for two days of discussion on the mechanisms, measurement and future of skin longevity.
