Product overview
The Dermalix Salicylic Acid 2% Niacinamide 2% Acne Treatment Serum (30ml) is an acne treatment serum from The Dermalix, a brand that describes itself as "a Bangladeshi Advanced Skincare Products Manufacturing Company."
Sourcing note: no independently-verifiable corporate manufacturer entity (company registration, official filing) could be found beyond the brand name itself. The full ingredient list below was found on only one retailer (tekka.com.bd) and is not cross-confirmed by a second independent source with a full panel -- other retailers list only the two headline actives plus marketing claims. One retailer (vshopltd.com) additionally mentions "Witch Hazel" in its marketing description, but this ingredient does not appear in the sourced INCI list, so it is not presented as a confirmed ingredient below.
Key Ingredients
- Salicylic Acid -- at 2% concentration, the headline exfoliating active
- Niacinamide -- at 2% concentration, marketed to help control sebum and calm the skin
- Hyaluronic Acid -- a hydrating ingredient included to offset the potential drying effect of the acids
- Allantoin -- a soothing ingredient
- Also contains: Aqua/Water, Glycerin, Disodium EDTA, Propylene Glycol, Carbomer 980, Sodium Hydroxide, DMDM Hydantoin
Sourcing note: DMDM Hydantoin, a formaldehyde-releasing preservative, is present per this ingredient list -- worth noting separately from the brand's "Paraben Free" marketing claim, since Paraben-free does not mean free of all preservative classes.
