Dermasation
Dermasation is a Pakistani skincare brand built around one idea: the actives that actually work — glycolic acid, niacinamide, retinol, vitamin C — shouldn't cost what imported brands charge for them. Every product here is formulated locally, which means no import duty priced into your routine.
Glycolic Acid Toner in Pakistan
The DS Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution is the product the brand is best known for. Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid — it works on the surface of the skin, loosening dead cells that cause dullness, rough texture and the marks left behind after breakouts clear.
If you've compared the glycolic acid price in Pakistan across imported options, you'll know the gap. This lands at Rs. 2,000 for a full-size bottle at a 7% concentration — strong enough to visibly work on tone and texture, mild enough that most people can use it several times a week without the stinging that puts beginners off acids entirely.
Anyone searching for a glycolic acid toner in Pakistan that won't irritate on the third use should start here rather than at 10% or higher.
What Else Dermasation Makes
- Serums — 10% Niacinamide for oil control and pore appearance, Retinol for texture and fine lines, Vitamin C for brightness, and Hyaluronic Acid for straightforward hydration
- Sunscreens — mineral SPF 50 and SPF 70, plus a brightening SPF 60+++ sun block. Mineral filters sit on the skin's surface rather than absorbing, which generally suits sensitive and acne-prone skin better
- Cleansers — including the Skin Brightening Cleanser for dull, uneven tone
- Treatments — the Peach Perfect Scrub for physical exfoliation and the Cucumber Quench Facial Mask for a calming, hydrating step
- Moisturizer — the Ultra Rich Oil Free Moisturizing Cream, rich in texture without adding oil
How to Use Glycolic Acid Safely
Start two to three nights a week, applied to clean, dry skin before your moisturizer. Build up as your skin adjusts rather than starting daily. Don't layer it with retinol on the same night when you're beginning — alternate instead. And use sunscreen every morning, since acids increase sun sensitivity. If you're using the toning solution, one of the mineral sunscreens on this page isn't optional.
Building a Full Routine
The advantage of a locally formulated range is that you can complete a routine rather than stretching one imported product across months. A cleanser, a treatment step, a moisturizer and a sunscreen is the full picture — and doing all four consistently beats doing one of them with a premium product.
