Product overview
Key Ingredients
The Derma Plus's official website lists four active ingredients for this face wash: Kojic Acid, Niacinamide, Alpha Arbutin, and Green Tea Extract. We want to be transparent that no specific percentage or concentration is disclosed for any of these ingredients by the brand, and despite checking the official site as well as several Bangladesh retailers, we were not able to locate a complete ingredient (INCI) panel for this product. We recommend checking the product packaging directly for the full ingredient list and any concentration information.
Key Features
The Derma Plus is a brand of Izabel Health Care, a Bangladeshi company, and its official website describes itself as a "premium skincare destination" with locally produced products. We want to flag an important sourcing discrepancy we found: one Bangladesh retailer (Rokomari) lists this product's country of origin as India, which conflicts with the brand's own positioning as a Bangladesh-based, locally produced line. We believe this is most likely a data-entry or listing confusion with a similarly-named but unrelated Indian brand, "The Derma Co," rather than a genuine change in manufacturing origin -- but we cannot independently confirm this and are presenting it as an unresolved discrepancy rather than a settled fact. We recommend being careful not to confuse The Derma Plus (Bangladeshi, Izabel Health Care) with The Derma Co (a different, India-based brand) when researching this product further.
Benefits
Face washes combining Kojic Acid, Niacinamide, and Alpha Arbutin are generally marketed to help even out the appearance of skin tone and support brightening with regular use, alongside Green Tea Extract's general antioxidant properties. Because no concentrations are disclosed for any of these actives, we are not able to confirm whether they are present at levels typically associated with visible brightening effects in clinical literature. Marketing claims of "bright and even skin tone" and "safe for daily use" should be treated as brand assertions rather than independently verified outcomes for this specific product.
Who Can Use This Product
Face washes with Kojic Acid and Alpha Arbutin are generally marketed toward those seeking a brightening-focused daily cleanser. Kojic Acid in particular can be a contact sensitizer/allergen for some users, especially with prolonged or leave-on exposure, though the wash-off nature of a face wash generally limits exposure time compared to leave-on products. We recommend a patch test before regular use, particularly for those with sensitive skin. Because we could not confirm the exact concentrations used, individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a doctor before use as a general precaution.
How to Use
Wet the face with lukewarm water, dispense a small amount of the face wash into the hands, work into a lather, and massage gently over the face avoiding the eye area, then rinse thoroughly with water. Typical use for a daily face wash of this type is once or twice daily. Because MedEasy could not confirm the brand's specific usage instructions beyond general daily-use positioning, please follow any instructions printed on the product packaging, which take precedence over this general guidance.
Storage & Safety
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with the eyes; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs. Discontinue use if irritation, redness, or an allergic reaction develops, and consult a doctor if symptoms persist. Because MedEasy could not verify the complete ingredient list or active-ingredient concentrations for this product, we are unable to provide a definitive allergen disclosure; individuals with known sensitivities to Kojic Acid or other brightening actives should exercise caution and review the packaging carefully before use. The brand's general BSTI-approval statement applies site-wide and is not confirmed at the individual product level; check your specific packaging for product-level certification details.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: What percentage of Kojic Acid does this face wash contain?
A: The brand's official website does not disclose a specific percentage for Kojic Acid or its other listed active ingredients. Please check the product packaging for this information.
Q: Is The Derma Plus the same brand as "The Derma Co"?
A: No, these are different brands. The Derma Plus is a Bangladeshi brand under Izabel Health Care, while The Derma Co is a separate, India-based brand. We flag this because one retailer listing appears to have confused the two when stating this product's country of origin.
Q: Is this product made in Bangladesh or India?
A: The brand positions itself as a Bangladesh-based, locally produced line, but one retailer listing states "India" as the country of origin. We believe this is likely a listing error confusing The Derma Plus with the unrelated Indian brand "The Derma Co," but we cannot fully confirm this and present it as an unresolved discrepancy.
Q: Is this face wash BSTI-approved?
A: The brand states on its website that its marketed products are generally BSTI-approved, but this is a general, site-wide statement rather than a certification confirmed specifically for this SKU. Please check your product's physical packaging for product-specific certification details.
Q: Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
A: We recommend a patch test before regular use, particularly for sensitive skin, since Kojic Acid can be a contact sensitizer for some users and we could not confirm the exact concentration used in this formula.
