Overview

Deriva MS Aqueous Gel is a prescription-only medicine (POM) presented as a gel, with Adapalene 0.1% as its active ingredient content.

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information, in line with Malaysian rules on prescription medicine information for the public. Your prescriber or pharmacist is the right source for anything beyond that, together with the leaflet inside the pack.

Through DoctorOnCall, this product is supplied after an online consultation with a licensed doctor and a valid prescription, and it is checked by a registered pharmacist before dispensing. Take it exactly as prescribed, and speak to your doctor before stopping, changing the dose, or starting any other medicine alongside it.

Directions for Use

Wash the affected area with a mild cleanser and pat completely dry before applying Deriva MS Aqueous Gel, as damp skin increases irritation. Use only a thin layer – a little covers a large area – and avoid the eyes, lips, nostrils, and any broken or sunburnt skin. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, as treated skin becomes more sensitive to sunlight.

Dosage

Apply a thin, pea-sized amount of Deriva MS Aqueous Gel once daily, usually in the evening, to the entire affected area of clean, dry skin – not just individual spots. Your doctor or pharmacist will advise how long to continue treatment, as visible improvement typically takes 4-12 weeks of regular use.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Side Effects

  • Skin dryness or flakiness
  • Redness or irritation
  • Mild burning or stinging sensation after application
  • Increased sensitivity to sunlight
  • Peeling of skin in the treated area

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to adapalene or any ingredient in this product
  • Application to eczematous, sunburnt, or broken skin
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding, unless specifically advised by your doctor
  • Concurrent use with other strong topical exfoliants or peeling agents without medical advice

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Other topical retinoids, benzoyl peroxide at high strength, or salicylic acid products may increase skin irritation if used together without spacing them out
  • Medicated soaps, astringents, or alcohol-based cosmetics can worsen dryness and irritation
  • Waxing should be avoided on skin currently being treated, as it can tear irritated skin
  • Prolonged sun exposure or sunbed use increases the risk of sunburn on treated skin

Quick Tips

  • Start with a small pea-sized amount to gauge how your skin reacts
  • Use a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic moisturiser to manage dryness
  • Always apply sunscreen during the day while using this product
  • Be patient – visible acne improvement usually takes several weeks of consistent use

Ingredients / Active Ingredients
