When it comes to hair and scalp health, few brands combine scientific credibility with cosmetic elegance quite like Pharmaceris. Developed by the Dr Irena Eris Centre for Science and Research, Pharmaceris offers specialist dermocosmetics designed to address common but often complex skin and scalp concerns – from excessive hair loss and dandruff to sensitivity and premature greying.
Science You Can Trust
Pharmaceris products are formulated by an interdisciplinary team of dermatologists, allergists, pharmacists, and molecular biologists. Each formula undergoes rigorous in vivo and clinical testing at independent research institutes and hospitals to confirm efficacy and tolerance – and never involves animal testing.
By combining pharmaceutical-grade raw materials with innovative delivery systems, Pharmaceris ensures that each preparation meets world-class safety and performance standards. The brand’s continuous scientific publishing and patent applications underscore its leadership in evidence-based dermocosmetics.
Out of Pharmaceris’s 13 global ranges, seven are available locally through GA Active Wholesalers:
A-Series (Sensitive & Allergic Skin), Emotopic (Body), F (Foundation), N-Series (Dilated Capillaries), S-Series (Sun Protection), T-Series (Acne/Oily Skin), and H-Series (Hair & Scalp Dermocare) – the focus of this feature.
Meet the Pharmaceris H Series
The Pharmaceris H Series is designed for men and women struggling with hair loss, thinning, dandruff, or scalp sensitivity. Each product is built around a patented complex containing the natural growth factor FGF and caffeine, a breakthrough combination that activates hair follicles, boosts microcirculation, and extends the hair’s growth phase.
The products are hypoallergenic, dermatologically tested, and formulated for sensitive scalps.
