Jenpharm is a Pakistani dermatological skincare brand that has been around for years and is trusted by dermatologists across Pakistan. Their Dermive range is specifically designed for people who struggle with dry, sensitive, or easily irritated skin.
What makes this brand different from random skincare brands on Daraz is that Jenpharm products are clinically tested, dermatologist-recommended, and formulated with real skin science - not just marketing words.
The Dermive moisturizer comes in three different versions, each designed for a different skin type.
This is where most people get confused, so let me break it down simply.
Dermive Oil Free
This is the lightweight version. It contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid, feels non-greasy on skin, and is best suited for normal, oily, and combination skin types. It also has a light SPF from titanium dioxide and octinoxate, which gives a tiny bit of sun protection - though you should still use a proper sunscreen on top.
Dermive Oily Moisturizer (for dry skin)
Despite the confusing name, this one is actually made for dry skin. It is richer, thicker, and more hydrating than the oil-free version. It contains hyaluronic acid, ceramides, glycerin, and fatty ingredients that deeply nourish and lock moisture into dry and very dry skin. If your skin feels tight, flaky, or rough - this is your version.
Dermive Sensitive
This is the gentlest of the three. It is completely fragrance-free and contains oat kernel oil, ceramide 3, and wheat germ oil. It is designed for people with reactive, eczema-prone, or allergy-prone skin. It is also safe for babies, which tells you exactly how gentle it is.
What Are the Key Ingredients?
Let me explain the main ingredients simply so you understand what you are actually putting on your face.
Ceramides
These are the most important ingredient here. Your skin barrier is made up of ceramides naturally, but they get depleted by harsh weather, over-cleansing, and sun exposure. Replenishing them with a ceramide moisturizer is one of the most effective things you can do for dry or sensitive skin.
Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate)
This is a humectant, which means it pulls moisture from the air into your skin and holds it there. It is one of the best hydrating ingredients available and it is completely safe for all skin types.
Glycerin
Another humectant that works alongside hyaluronic acid to keep skin soft and hydrated. It is gentle, effective, and well-studied.
Aloe Vera Extract
Calming and soothing. Especially helpful if your skin tends to get red or irritated easily.
Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E)
An antioxidant that protects skin from environmental damage. It also helps with skin softness and healing.
The overall formula is solid. These are real, skin-friendly ingredients that actually do what they claim.
My Honest Experience
I have dry skin that also gets sensitive easily, especially during weather changes in Pakistan - which, as you know, can be brutal. Very hot summers, dry winters, and dusty air all year round are not exactly kind to your skin barrier.
I started with the Dermive Oily Moisturizer because my skin needed serious hydration. Within the first few days I noticed my skin felt less tight after washing and the rough patches on my cheeks started to smooth out.
What I really appreciate is that it does not have that heavy, greasy feeling that a lot of rich moisturizers leave behind. It sinks into the skin properly and does not sit on top like a layer of oil.
The one thing I will mention is that the Dermive Oil Free version does contain fragrance, which is something to keep in mind if your skin is very reactive. If you are fragrance-sensitive, go straight for the Dermive Sensitive version - it is completely fragrance-free.
Dermive Moisturizer Price in Pakistan
This is one of the best things about this product. Jenpharm keeps it very accessible.
All three Dermive moisturizer variants - Dermive Oil Free, Dermive Oily, and Dermive Sensitive - are priced at
Rs. 1,098 for 100ml. The price is the same across all variants, which makes choosing between them much easier. You are simply picking the one that suits your skin type, not your budget.
Prices may vary slightly depending on where you buy it. You can find all three variants on Daraz, at Shaheen Chemist, and on the official Jenpharm website.
How to Use Dermive Moisturizer Correctly
Getting the most out of this moisturizer is simple but the application technique really matters.
- Wash your face with the Dermive Moisturising Face Wash Looking for an affordable full skincare kit to pair with your Dermive moisturizer? Check out my Bioaqua Rice Raw Pulp kit review. it is fragrance free, ceramide enriched, and pairs perfectly with the moisturizer
- Pat your face mostly dry but leave it slightly damp - do not dry it completely
- Apply the Dermive moisturizer immediately while your skin is still a little damp
- In the morning, always follow with a good sunscreen - Jenpharm Spectra Block Max SPF 100 works perfectly after this moisturizer - I have a full honest review of it on the blog if you want to check it out before buying. it is tinted, lightweight, leaves no white cast, and gives you SPF 100 protection which is the highest available in Pakistan
Applying it on damp skin makes a significant difference. The moisturizer locks in that extra water and your skin stays hydrated for much longer.
Who Should Buy Jenpharm Dermive Moisturizer?
Buy the Dermive Oily Moisturizer if:
- Your skin is dry, flaky, or rough
- Your skin feels tight after washing
- You have dry patches on your cheeks or forehead
- You deal with eczema or very dry skin conditions
Buy the Dermive Oil Free if:
- Your skin is normal, oily, or combination
- You want lightweight hydration without greasiness
- You want a moisturizer that works under makeup
Buy the Dermive Sensitive if:
- Your skin reacts to almost everything
- You are fragrance-sensitive

What I Would Pair It With
To get the best results from your Dermive moisturizer, here is a simple routine that works:
Morning:
Dermive Moisturising Wash → Dermive moisturizer (your variant) → Jenpharm Spectra Block Max SPF 100
Evening:
Dermive Moisturising Wash → Dermive moisturizer
That is it. Simple, effective, and everything is available in Pakistan at an affordable price.
Final Verdict - Is Jenpharm Dermive Worth It?
Yes. Genuinely yes.
For Rs. 1,098 in Pakistan, the ingredient quality is genuinely impressive. You are getting ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and a dermatologist-tested formula - ingredients you would pay three or four times more for in an international brand. That is not easy to find.
It is not a miracle cream and it will not fix deep pigmentation or acne overnight - but that is not what it is for. What it does brilliantly is keep your skin barrier healthy, your skin hydrated, and your complexion calm. For dry and sensitive skin in Pakistan's climate, that is exactly what you need.
If you have been spending money on random moisturizers from Daraz that are not doing anything - switch to Dermive. Your skin will feel the difference within a week.
