Product overview
Key Ingredients
MedEasy was not able to find any disclosed ingredient list for this product from any source -- not the brand's own materials, not retailer listings, and not third-party ingredient databases. The only concentration information available is the "2%" figure included in the product name itself, which is presumed to refer to Salicylic Acid, but we could not independently verify this concentration, confirm the presence or absence of a carrier/base formula, or identify any other ingredients in the product. We strongly recommend checking the product packaging directly for its complete, definitive ingredient list before use.
Key Features
The Derma Plus is a Bangladeshi skincare brand associated with Izabel Health Care. This product is positioned as a leave-on facial serum built around Salicylic Acid, a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) commonly used in skincare for its exfoliating and pore-clearing properties at appropriate concentrations. Please note that "The Derma Plus" is a distinct, unrelated brand from "The Derma Co" (a well-known Indian brand also sold in Bangladesh), and the similarity in naming has been a documented source of consumer confusion, so please confirm you are purchasing the intended brand.
Benefits
Salicylic Acid, when properly formulated and used at appropriate concentrations, is generally recognized in dermatology for helping to exfoliate the skin's surface, clear clogged pores, and reduce the appearance of blackheads and acne-related blemishes. However, because we could not confirm any ingredient details, formulation specifics, or the true concentration and purity of the Salicylic Acid used in this specific product, we are not able to make confident, product-specific claims about its effectiveness or safety profile, and recommend a cautious approach.
Who Can Use This Product
Salicylic Acid serums of this type are generally marketed toward those with oily or acne-prone skin. However, they are not typically recommended for individuals with very dry, sensitive, or compromised skin barriers, for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals (without consulting a doctor first, as salicylate exposure is generally advised to be limited during pregnancy), or for those under 18 without guidance from a dermatologist. Because MedEasy could not verify this specific product's formulation, we recommend consulting a dermatologist before use, particularly for first-time users of acid-based serums.
How to Use
Products of this type are typically applied to clean, dry skin in the evening, in small amounts, avoiding the eye area, and are usually followed by a moisturizer. Sunscreen use during the day is generally advised when using BHA/AHA exfoliating products, as they can increase sun sensitivity. Because MedEasy could not confirm the manufacturer's specific usage instructions for this product, we strongly recommend following the instructions printed on the product packaging, which take precedence over this general guidance, and starting with infrequent use (such as every other day) to assess skin tolerance.
Storage & Safety
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs. Discontinue use immediately if irritation, excessive redness, burning, or peeling develops, and consult a doctor if symptoms persist. Because we could not confirm this product's complete ingredient list or the true concentration of its active ingredient, we are not able to provide a definitive safety or allergen profile, and recommend a patch test before first use and consultation with a dermatologist if you have any pre-existing skin conditions.
