SINGAPORE, January 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hyphens Pharma International Limited (“Hyphens Pharma“o la”Company“, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group“), Singapore’s leading specialty pharmaceuticals and consumer healthcare group, is pleased to announce the transfer of marketing rights for its innovative product, Cerapro® MED Skin Barrier Cream, to Louis Widmer SA (“Louis Widmer“) through a license, supply and marketing agreement (“License Agreement“) covering six European countries: Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.

Atopic dermatitis, a common form of eczema, affects millions of people of all ages. Elevated skin pH and impaired skin barrier function are key factors in this condition. Cerapro®, with its patented formula, lowers the skin’s pH and helps restore the skin barrier. Approved as a CE marked medical device under the strict European Medical Device Regulation (MDR), Cerapro® offers a novel treatment option for patients with eczema. Lowering the skin’s pH also strengthens the skin’s inherent antimicrobial defense system.
Within the framework of this collaboration, Louis Widmer, an international cosmetics and pharmaceuticals company based in Switzerland, recognized for its high-quality dermatological products since 1960, will market and promote Cerapro® among dermatologists and pediatricians in the agreed markets. This collaboration reflects both companies’ shared vision of delivering science-backed products that improve patient outcomes.
“This important collaboration with Louis Widmer underscores our commitment to innovation and patient care“said Lim See Wah, President and CEO of Hyphens Pharma. “Leveraging Louis Widmer’s strong presence and experience in dermatology, we aim to bring Cerapro® to patients in Europe, while continuing to explore new growth opportunities.“.
“We are excited to partner with Hyphens Pharma to introduce Cerapro® to our markets, offering patients a clinically proven solution for atopic dermatitis. Cerapro® will be the new star product of our Remederm line, leader in Europe both in specialized stores and among doctors for the care of dry, very dry and atopic skin.“said Annemarie Widmer, CEO of Louis Widmer.
