Check out the hologram sticker...Korea Menarini Guides the Distribution of Dermatics Ultra Gel Products on How to distinguish Genuine Products
Jul 17, 2025
In order to prevent damage to consumers related to the fake goods of 'Dermatix® Ultra Gel (hereinafter referred to as Dermatix)' which is currently circulating online, Menarini Korea will guide genuine products and strengthen its certification system.
Dermatics is a silicone gel-type medical device that is applied for the management of scars and sore wounds, and there are concerns about consumer damage as fake products that mimic genuine products have recently been distributed through some e-commerce platforms and informal distribution channels.
According to the Korea Menarini, the detected fake products may be difficult for consumers to distinguish because they are similar to genuine products in appearance, but there is a clear difference compared to actual genuine products.
First of all, the biggest feature is whether or not an official imported genuine sticker is attached. The sticker is an authentication mark that is attached only to products imported through an official distribution channel, and does not exist in fake goods. The sticker, which is made with a holographic design, is attached to the lower left of the front of the genuine packaging box and can be the most reliable criterion for determining whether it is genuine or not even with the naked eye.
Another distinction point between regular and fake products is product-related information such as permits, manufacturing, manufacturing numbers, and capacity described in packaging boxes and actual tubes. First of all, for genuine products, permission and manufacturing information are marked in Korean on the back of the packaging box, but the fake products are written in English. Manufacturing company information is also listed as Singapore or Indonesia in the genuine product, while household goods are falsely marked as the United States.
It is also necessary to check whether the manufacturing number matches. Genuine products have the same manufacturing number on the packaging box and the tube, but fake products often do not.
In addition, unlike genuine products with accurate capacity information on the front of the packaging box, fake products often have the information missing. Even if the capacity information is written, it does not match the display capacity on the tube.
The difference in formulation is also evident. The genuine product is a highly viscous gray-white or opaque-colored gel that maintains adhesion when applied and remains on the skin for a certain period of time, effectively absorbing it to the scarring area. On the other hand, fake products have a transparent gel color and a very watery formulation. It does not come into close contact with the application area, spreads easily like water, and dries without absorption.
It is important to purchase and use genuine products through a safe channel, as the ingredients of fake goods are not known exactly, which can lead to unexpected health problems such as skin problems. Dermatics can be purchased through pharmacies and official online malls. In addition, if a false product is suspected after purchase, you can check whether it is genuine through the Korea Menarini Consumer Counseling Center.
It is explained that this fake case is limited to a single ultra gel product, and no similar cases have been confirmed so far in the rest of the product line.
An official of the Korea Menarini said, "If you use fake products that have not been verified for manufacturing process and ingredient safety, it can cause serious irritation and inflammation to the skin, so make sure to purchase them through a safe channel such as a pharmacy or official online mall.""Korea Menarini will continue to monitor distribution and strengthen certification to ensure that genuine purchasing customers can use Dermatics with confidence, and prioritizes customer skin safety and product trust.""
