Vichy Dercos Technique is a specialized dermatological hair care line produced by Vichy Laboratoires. The brand's history is deeply rooted in the town of Vichy, France, where Dr. Prosper Haller founded the brand in 1931. He was the first to recognize the therapeutic benefits of the local Volcanic Mineralizing Water for skin health, leading to the creation of the Société Indépendante d'Hygiène Dermatologique de Vichy.
In 1955, the brand was acquired by L'Oréal, which helped transform it into a global leader in dermocosmetics. Today, the Dercos line specifically targets scalp and hair health through scientific research into the microbiome. Most Vichy products, including the Dercos shampoos, are primarily manufactured at the L'Oréal Active Cosmetics production site in Vichy, France, ensuring the inclusion of the signature volcanic water from the source.
As of 2026, Vichy remains a key brand within the L'Oréal Dermatological Beauty division. The ultimate ownership lies with the L'Oréal Group, headquartered in Clichy, France, which continues to drive the brand's innovation in integrative health and medical beauty.
