Interview: Dr Alain Khaiat

Dr Alain Khaiat is one of the most respected experts working in personal care today. During his 30 years in the industry, he has been vice president of the R&D departments for Revlon, Yves Rocher and, most recently, Johnson & Johnson.

 Now he runs his own consultancy company, Seers Consulting, and is also conference manager for in-cosmetics Asia 2010. Personal Care editor, Richard Scott, spoke to Dr Khaiat to find out what the 2010 conference has in store.

PC: The conference and educational areas of in-cosmetics have been very successful and a big draw for people. What areas will be covered in 2010?

AK: In Bangkok there will be a full day programme on facial skin care, and that will be sub-divided into three topics: anti-ageing, anti-acne and whitening. Last year we had one conference on whitening, covering all the whitening aspects and a workshop on cosmetic safety. This year the focus will be on facial skin care and will continue to have a session on whitening but we have extended it to include anti-acne. Antiageing was the topic of the conference two years ago, so we now have a panel on anti-ageing news and whitening news and we’re introducing a new topic of anti-acne which I think is going to be very interesting.
