Product overview
Key Ingredients
- Niacinamide (10%): the headline active, consistently stated at 10% across the brand's own site and two independent Bangladesh retailers. This is a self-reported label claim rather than an independently lab-verified figure, but the consistency across sources is a positive sourcing signal. Niacinamide supports a more even skin tone, helps with the appearance of pores, and supports the skin barrier
- Zinc (1%): included alongside Niacinamide for its oil-balancing and skin-calming reputation, particularly for acne-prone or oily skin, at a consistently stated 1% concentration
- Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol, Allantoin: included for hydration and skin-soothing support
- Propanediol, Propylene Glycol: humectant/solvent ingredients supporting the serum's texture and ingredient delivery
- Important sourcing note: MedEasy could not locate a complete, fully-ordered INCI ingredient panel (including the full base/preservative system) from any source -- only the actives and a few supporting ingredients listed above were disclosed. This is a partial ingredient picture, not a complete formula listing
- Formula-naming note: the "10% Niacinamide + 1% Zinc" naming convention closely mirrors a widely-known international reference formula ("The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%"), a common formulation approach seen across several brands in the Bangladesh/South Asian market
Key Features
- The Derma Plus is a brand of Izabel Health Care, marketed as made in Bangladesh
- The brand states BSTI (Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution) compliance, though MedEasy could not locate a specific certificate or registration number confirming this on the pages reviewed -- customers are advised by the brand to check the physical packaging for this detail
- Fragrance-free and essential-oil-free formula positioning, marketed as non-comedogenic
Benefits
- Niacinamide at a stated 10% concentration is associated with supporting a more even skin tone and refined pore appearance with regular use
- Zinc at 1% is associated with oil-balancing support, useful for oily or acne-prone skin
- Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol, and Allantoin support hydration and help offset any dryness from the active ingredients
- Note on antibacterial claims: some marketing describes this product as reducing acne-causing bacteria. Niacinamide has evidence supporting sebum regulation and mild anti-inflammatory effects, but is not well-established in the scientific literature as having a direct antibacterial mechanism -- this claim should be understood as marketing language rather than an established clinical fact
Who Can Use This Product
