At Skinmart BD, the Eris Demelan Cream (20g) is available for just ৳980 (regular price ৳1,100), with Cash on Delivery to all 64 districts. Demelan is one of the best-known hyperpigmentation creams in South Asia. It was created by Glenmark and has been owned and marketed by Eris Lifesciences Ltd., India, since 2023. With 10% glycolic acid, 5% arbutin and 2% kojic acid dipalmitate, Demelan Cream is a strong, dermatologist-familiar option for dark patches, sun spots and uneven skin tone.

What Is Demelan Cream?

Demelan Cream is a topical depigmenting cream used for skin pigmentation problems such as dark discolouration from sun exposure, pigmentation after pregnancy (often called melasma or “mechta”), and leftover acne marks. Arbutin and kojic acid dipalmitate help reduce the activity of tyrosinase, the enzyme skin uses to make melanin, while glycolic acid exfoliates pigmented surface cells so new, more even skin can come through. Because its glycolic acid content is high, it should be used carefully and preferably under a dermatologist’s guidance.

Key Product Details

• Glycolic acid 10% w/w – an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that removes pigmented dead cells and smooths texture
• Arbutin 5% w/w – helps reduce melanin production to lighten dark patches
• Kojic acid dipalmitate 2% w/w – a stable form of kojic acid that helps fade dark spots
• Triple-action formula for sun spots, melasma-type patches and post-acne marks
• No hydroquinone, steroid or tretinoin in the listed composition
• Contains parabens (methylparaben, propylparaben) as preservatives
• Usually applied at night, or as your doctor advises
• 20g tube – enough for several weeks of spot or facial use

Why It’s Trusted

Clinical Backing & Dermatologist Use

Glycolic acid, arbutin and kojic acid are well-researched ingredients for hyperpigmentation and are widely used in dermatology as non-hydroquinone options. Demelan has been prescribed and recommended by dermatologists in India and Bangladesh for many years, which is why it is one of the most-searched pigmentation creams in the region. Combining an exfoliant with two melanin-reducing ingredients gives a more complete approach than one ingredient alone.

Sourcing & Quality

This Demelan Cream is marketed by Eris Lifesciences Ltd., Ahmedabad, India (manufactured in India for Eris). Demelan was originally a Glenmark brand, so some packs may still show Glenmark branding. Skinmart BD sources it from reliable suppliers, and every tube comes in a sealed carton with the batch number and expiry date printed on the pack.

How to Use Demelan Cream

Step-by-Step Application Guide

1. At night, wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat it completely dry.
2. Wash your hands before applying.
3. Apply a thin layer only to the pigmented areas and massage gently until absorbed. Do not apply on cuts, sores, broken or irritated skin, and keep it away from the eyes, lips and nostrils.
4. Close the cap tightly and wash your hands again.
5. If your skin feels dry, use a simple fragrance-free moisturizer after the cream absorbs.
6. Every morning, apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen and avoid long sun exposure – during treatment and for at least 1 week after stopping.

How Much Demelan Cream to Use

A small, pea-sized amount is enough for the face, and less for a few spots. Using more will not fade pigmentation faster; it only increases redness and peeling.

How Often to Use (Morning vs Night)

The label directs use preferably at night, or as your physician advises. Start every other night for the first week if your skin is sensitive, then use nightly if tolerated. Follow your dermatologist’s advice on how many weeks to continue, and do not use it together with other peeling or pigment-reducing treatments unless your doctor tells you to.

Before & After Expectations

Before Using

• Brown or grey-brown patches on the cheeks, forehead or upper lip
• Sun spots and tanning
• Dark marks left after pimples
• Rough, dull and uneven-looking skin

After Using (with regular use and strict sun protection)

• Dark patches look lighter and less defined
• More even-looking skin tone
• Smoother, brighter texture
• Acne marks fade faster

Results vary from person to person. Demelan Cream helps reduce the look of pigmentation; it does not change your natural skin colour, and pigmentation can return without sun protection.

Who Should Use It

Ideal Profiles for Demelan Cream

• Adults with sun-related pigmentation or tanning patches
• Melasma-type patches, as part of a dermatologist’s plan
• Post-acne dark marks (after active pimples have settled)
• Normal, oily and combination skin that tolerates AHAs
• People who want a non-hydroquinone pigmentation cream

For Men and Women

Demelan Cream works the same for men and women. Men should not apply it on freshly shaved skin. Avoid waxing, threading or scrubbing the treated area while using it.

Who Should NOT Use It

1. Anyone allergic to glycolic acid, arbutin, kojic acid, parabens or any other ingredient

2. On broken, cut, abraded, sunburned or irritated skin

3. Anyone under 18 years of age (not suggested)

4. Pregnant or breastfeeding women (not suggested)

5. People already using other peels, retinoids or pigment creams, unless a doctor combines them

6. People with eczema, rosacea or very sensitive skin, without a dermatologist’s advice

7. Near the eyes, on the lips, mucous membranes, or near the anal or genital area without medical advice

Deep Dive: Treating Melasma and Stubborn Pigmentation

Does Demelan Cream Work?

For many people with sun spots, acne marks and melasma-type patches, Demelan can give visible lightening when used regularly with strict sun protection. Melasma is a long-term condition triggered by sunlight, hormones and heat, so no cream cures it permanently – the aim is to lighten patches and keep them under control. Dermatologists may combine Demelan with sunscreen and other treatments. If there is no improvement after 8–12 weeks, see a dermatologist.

Results Timeline

Weeks 1–2

Mild tingling, dryness or light peeling is common as the glycolic acid works. Skin starts to feel smoother.

Weeks 4–8

Dark patches and spots begin to look lighter and edges look softer.

Weeks 8–12

Most regular users see a clearer difference in pigmentation. Continue only as long as your doctor advises, and keep using sunscreen.

Authenticity Verification Checklist

• Sealed carton with Demelan branding and the composition: glycolic acid 10%, arbutin 5%, kojic acid dipalmitate 2%
• Eris Lifesciences (or Glenmark on older stock) named on the pack
• Batch number, manufacturing date and expiry date printed on the carton and tube
• Tube seal intact before first use
• Smooth cream; a slight colour change can happen and does not affect quality, according to the label

Potential Side Effects & Precautions

• Tingling or warmth on application
• Redness and dryness
• Peeling or flaking
• Irritation with overuse or use beyond the advised period
• Increased sensitivity to the sun

Stop using it and see a dermatologist if redness, burning, swelling or rash does not settle.

Safety tips: Patch test first – apply a little on the jawline at night for 2–3 nights before using it on the whole area. Use SPF 30+ sunscreen every morning and protective clothing, avoid long sun exposure during use and for 1 week after, and do not combine Demelan Cream with scrubs, peels or retinoids unless your doctor advises it.
