Trained pharmacy staff and the color guide code on the packaging will help you choose the right product. It is advisable to test a new product on a small area of the forearm first before using it for the first time on the face or on a large area of the body. However, if there is an adverse reaction, the product can be exchanged at the pharmacy where it was purchased.
Yes, tender baby skin needs different care adapted to its special requirements. The protective functions have yet to fully develop and thus the skin is more sensitive to external stress. In addition, the skin barrier is not fully developed. As a result, babies’ skin is much more permeable. On the one hand, moisture can be lost more quickly and the skin dries up; on the other hand, pathogens and germs can penetrate the skin more quickly. Also, the skin is significantly thinner than adult skin and the subcutaneous fatty tissue is not fully developed. Therefore, the skin is sensitive to cold. Furthermore, the baby skin is particularly sensitive to the sun, since initially less melanin (pigment) is produced.
DERMASENCE Vitop forte Junior is optimally suited for baby skin from three months of age. The cream offers special protection for irritated skin and skin prone to neurodermatitis and cradle cap. A breathable protective film lays on the skin, which protects against moisture loss and mechanical stress. Through their unique active complex of dyer's woad, aloe vera and green tea, the skin's own regeneration processes are stimulated and inflammatory processes and itching are prevented. Panthenol offers the plus of calming irritation. The skin barrier is strengthened by natural oils.
It should be noted that no allergy-suspicious fragrances, preservatives, colourants or skin-irritating emulsifiers are included.
The optimum cleansing of the skin consists of a cleansing product suitable for the skin, which is often removed from the skin with water. DERMASENCE Tonicbalances the pH, strengthens the acid mantle and removes limescale and dirt from the skin.
In the evening, remove the make-up and dirt that has accumulated on the skin throughout the day. Overnight the skin metabolises a lot - it sweats. Morning cleansing prepares the skin for the day. Cleansing always provides the basis for facial care and makes the skin receptive for the following day and night care.
DERMASENCE Tonic, completes the cleansing, it strengthens the acid mantle of the skin through its acidic pH, soothes and hydrates its and increases its absorption capacity. Anyone who uses a tonic also needs less of the following care.
DERMASENCE Tonic contains only 5 % alcohol. On the one hand, this has a preservative and slightly disinfecting effect. It keeps the microflora on the skin in balance. Due to the rapid evaporation you can feel a cooling effect on the skin. On the other hand, alcohol can open the cell connections, thus improving the absorption capacity of the skin. Thus, the following ingredients of creams and serums can penetrate into the skin more easily. So you need less of the following care. The Tonic also contains nourishing and soothing ingredients, so it is also suitable for sensitive skin.

Plastics and plastic particles (microplastics) pollute rivers, oceans, soil and even the air. The Federal Environment Agency defines microplastics as particles with a size of less than 5 mm of an insoluble, macromolecular plastic. In line with this definition, all DERMASENCE products have already been microplastic-free.
In the meantime, however, environmental protection organisations define the term "microplastic" more broadly: they also include polymers that are conditionally soluble and swellable in water, such as styrene/acrylates copolymer or polyacrylates.
According to the assessment of recognised experts, dissolved polymers are not toxic in their environmentally relevant form and are predominantly filtered out in sewage treatment plants. However, the degradation pathways and environmental impacts of liquid polymers have not yet been definitively clarified.
As a responsible and sustainable company, we pursue the goal of avoiding microplastics and liquid polymers in the formulation of new products.
DERMASENCE products are already free of microplastics and largely free of liquid polymers.
We do not use palm oil or palm kernel oil in our products. Some basic ingredients such as surfactants, consistency enhancers, stabilisers or emulsifiers are produced on the basis of palm oil. Whenever possible, we refrain from using such substances.
When formulating our sun protection products, we pay particular attention to proven active ingredients of the highest quality and to the good tolerability of the preparations, in accordance with our principles. This means that the focus is on reliable, high UV protection across the entire spectrum (UV-A and UV-B).
Not everything that is good for us is also good for the environment. The use of the UV filters octinoxate (INCI: ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE) and oxybenzone (INCI: BENZOPHENONE) have been criticised for their potential impact on marine reefs. In products from DERMASENCE, these filters are not used.
Wherever possible and reasonable, we use ingredients of synthetic and plant origin. This means that almost all DERMASENCE products are free from animal ingredients. Vegan products are labelled accordingly.
DERMSAENCE are against animal testing, and also do not commission any animal testing.
Since 2013, there has been a comprehensive ban on animal testing for cosmetics in the EU: Animal testing may not be carried out on cosmetic products or ingredients and cosmetics that have been tested on animals in third countries may not be sold in the EU.
Since the compatibility of the medical skin care products is our priority, we avoid using perfume (fragrance blends) in most of our products. If a perfume does come into play, we only apply it in very low concentrations. The fragrances we apply are approved and expertly evaluated fragrance blends that are labelled "fragrance" on the packaging.
Perfumes usually consist of several fragrance components, which may include so-called “allergenic fragrances” (for example, limonene or geraniol). These allergenic components must be listed by name. We refrain from using allergenic fragrances in almost all products. However, there are a few exceptions where there is a valid reason for using the fragrances that must be labelled: Sometimes allergenic fragrances are merely accompanying substances of complex mixtures of active ingredients. Effective, cooling mint oil, for example, also contains limonene. Here, the focus is on the effect, not the fragrance.
Allergy sufferers can check the use of perfume/fragrances in our products in the list of ingredients (INCIs).
The following products are fragrance-free:
- Adtop:
- Chrono retare:
- Hyalusome:
- Mycolex:
- Polaneth:
- RosaMin:
- Seborra:
- SolvineaMed:
- Vitop:
- DERMASENCE MelaBlok Brightening fluid

At DERMASENCE, we apply both organic (chemical) and inorganic (mineral) UV filters in our sun care products and day care products with UV protection.
The light protection filters minimise the undesirable effects of UV radiation on the skin. UV filters absorb (organic UV filters) or reflect (mineral UV filters) the UV radiation on the skin surface or in the keratin of the horny layer.
They are divided into UV-A, UV-B and broadband filters. To achieve effective protection, we use a combination of the different UV filters.
Other effective subtances in our sunscreens are antioxidants. They interrupt the photochemical reaction chain triggered by UV light if UV rays have nevertheless penetrated the skin. This also helps to mitigate undesirable effects of sun exposure such as cell and genetic damage.
With the combination of photoprotective filters and antioxidants, our products provide effective protection against the negative effects of the sun's rays, such as sunburn, premature skin ageing or hyperpigmentation.
Organic (chemical) light protection filters penetrate the top layer of the skin and convert UV radiation into heat through a chemical reaction.
Our DERMASENCE sunscreen formulations contain an effective blend of different UV filters for optimal protection. The good skin compatibility has been dermatologically tested.
The hyaluronic acid applied in our DERMASENCE products is synthetically produced. This makes it particularly high-quality and of consistent quality. This ensures a high level of effectiveness and tolerance.
Some DERMASENCE products are described with terms protected by trademarks that we refer to as effects. They sum up the effect of the products – quickly and intuitively. In this way, they make it easy for customers to understand the products’ mechanisms of action.

All DERMASENCE products are marked with an hourglass symbol. Behind this symbol is the best-before date. We hereby comply with legal requirements according to the Cosmetics Ordinance. This information applies to both opened and unopened products. The date is indicated on the primary and outer packaging and is usually printed on the back of the product or in the tube fold.
Yes, all DERMASENCE products are preserved in such a way that the shelf life and thus the product safety are guaranteed for the specified period of time. The content of preservatives is limited to the necessary minimum. The compatibility of the products is always the focus here.
Not only preservatives contribute to the protection and shelf life of the product, but also the type of packaging. We rely on so-called airless dispensers, for example. These are designed in such a way that when the pump is activated, a vacuum is created which pushes the piston at the bottom of the dispenser upwards and transports a very specific amount of the contents upwards and outwards. In contrast to conventional dispenser systems, no air - and with it, for example, harmful environmental influences such as bacteria or fungal spores or air - enters the dispenser system. This strengthens the safety of our products.
Here a look at the product helps: On all tubes, dispensers, etc. can be found the respective expiration date.
Please note: If cosmetic products are exposed to extreme temperatures over a long period (such as in the summer in the car), they can change. The smell, consistency and color can change slightly. Our natural botanicals in the products can also cause this. These are product-related changes, but they do not affect the effectiveness of our products.
For every cosmetic product, a so-called safety assessment or safety report is required.Independent evaluators check the product and carry out the following tests:
- Stability test
- Microbial investigations
- Toxicological assessments
- Evidence of effectiveness
- Compatibility studies
- Dermatological assessments
The product may only be placed on the market when it fulfils all verification requirements.
It usually takes several months or even years from the idea to the finished product. Various departments are involved in the development process. It always starts with an idea for a new product or a product optimisation. A product concept is worked out together and the first test samples are developed. These are optimised until they finally fulfil all the necessary properties. The final product sample then undergoes various tests prescribed by the EU Cosmetics Regulation. The so-called safety assessment documents and confirms whether the cosmetic product is safe for the intended and foreseeable use according to Article 3 of the EU Cosmetics Regulation. In parallel, stability tests are carried out and texts for the packaging and other marketing material are prepared. Only when all the components of the product have been completed and are safe and effective for consumers to use, is the first batch of the new product filled and offered for sale in pharmacies.
Our products are mainly manufactured in Germany. We work with very experienced partners who have been with us for many years. Some of the herbal ingredients are cultivated by us and processed in our Medicos Science Center using a special extraction process for our cosmetic products. In this video you can get an idea of these elaborate processes.
