About us

Tried and tested products designed to support dermatology, obstetrics and gynaecology.

Derma UK was established in 2001 to provide cost-effective solutions for common dermatological conditions and ultimately create a better quality of life for patients. Many of our product formulations have been tried and tested for over 70 years, and today our brands are used by 1000s of healthcare professionals and patients nationwide.

More Treatment Choice

Skin conditions are one of the most common reasons why patients consult their GP. However as the majority of conditions are not life-threatening, research funding is often not directed towards improving the dermatological treatments.
At Derma UK, we see things differently. We understand that everybody’s skin is different, and that’s why we provide and continually expand our flexible range of products so that healthcare professionals can tailor treatments to the needs of every individual.
We also actively search to acquire and develop cherished, heritage dermatological brands, with the aim of preserving their place in the marketplace so that patients and healthcare professionals can continue to benefit from a wide range of proven products.

Specialist Expertise, Reliable Supply

Derma UK consists of a skilled and dedicated team of staff, based at our head office in Newcastle’s bustling Quayside area. We employ a specialist dermatology sales and marketing team for the promotion of our products throughout the UK, who actively engage with the NHS, its subsidiary organisations and private practice.

We work closely with pharmaceutical manufacturers, major UK wholesalers and buying groups to ensure continuous development and a reliable supply of our product portfolio at all times.

Empowering Education

With over 5 decades of management experience in the field of dermatology, we are passionate about giving-back to the industry, helping to further education, and supporting the development of emerging professionals in our specialist area of dermatology.
