Product overview
Key Ingredients
- Vitamin C (marketed at 10%): the headline active, consistently stated across the brand's own site and independent retailers. Important caveat: only one source (an independent retailer) specifies the exact chemical form as 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, a stable, water-soluble Vitamin C derivative commonly used at concentrations up to 10-15% in serums. MedEasy could not independently confirm this specific form or the 10% figure via a full ordered ingredient list from any source, so this should be understood as a brand-stated claim rather than an independently lab-verified one
- Secondary actives -- source conflict: one independent retailer lists Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide as secondary actives; the brand's own general marketing copy instead mentions Niacinamide and Licorice extract. Niacinamide is consistent across both; the Hyaluronic Acid vs. Licorice discrepancy could not be resolved, as no full ingredient list in INCI order was available from any source. Both possibilities are disclosed here rather than one being silently chosen
- Note on an additional marketing claim: one retailer's copy also mentions the product "boosts collagen production" -- this specific claim did not appear on the brand's own official site and could not be independently verified, so MedEasy is not repeating it as a confirmed fact

- Manufactured under "The Derma Plus" brand, operated by Izabel Health Care, a Bangladeshi skincare company that states its products are BSTI-approved
