Who We Are
Our name, Dermafirm, came from the combination of Derma (skin) and firm (resilience), meaning healthy skin.
We understand the importance of having healthy skin, and it became our goal and mission: to help people have beautiful, healthy skin - not temporary superficial beautification but healthy skin that cannot be easily affected by aging and the environment. Our mission is to provide the best skincare products based on your skin type and needs. We know each person is unique and will have different demands, skincare routines, and preferences. We strive to produce and craft the best possible skin care products made using only the best ingredients with high purity. All the raw materials we used are thoroughly checked and managed by Dermafirm R.M.R System to ensure quality.
Since we started, Dermafirm continuously aims to improve our products. We use only the best raw materials available to help our environment and love strengthening our relationship with our beloved customers, clients, and personnel. Our commitment to excellence propels us to check our skincare products meticulously for quality assurance.
Our products are developed based on years of evidence-based research - clinically tested, safe, and highly effective. Each product is developed from plant-based ingredients and peptides, which help repair damaged skin and strengthen skin health.

2020

And won two awards in spa and skincare at the prestigious LUXlife Magazine Health, Beauty & Wellness Awards.
