The 30-second answer
Dermaelle lines split by skin type: for oily skin the Sebum Control cleanser at EGP 239 and the Hydra-Gel at EGP 299, for dry skin the hyaluronic serum at EGP 480 and the cream sunscreen at EGP 395, for sensitive skin the Cica Cream at EGP 325, and for dull skin the 7% glycolic toner at EGP 440. And per the AAD, a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen for every type; the pages here list ingredients and strengths, and start acids and high strengths with care.
What suits your skin?
Dermaelle splits its products into ranges (such as Hyalubalance for oily skin, Hyalu Repair for sensitive skin and Hyalu Solaire for sunscreens). The descriptions here come from the Beseha product pages, and no studies compare these products.
Oily and acne-prone skin
Per the NHS: wash gently twice a day, choose “non-comedogenic” products and do not scrub, and see a doctor if acne is deep or leaves scars. To compare other products: Best face wash for oily, acne-prone skin and Acne gels and creams.

- The page: salicylic, lactic, glycolic and PHA with piroctone olamine, centella and hyaluronic acid
- The page: cleans pores and reduces shine without over-drying

The serums are 30 ml and applied in a few drops, so price per ml is not a fair comparison with cleansers and the toner. The niacinamide serum price is for 5%.
Ask a dermatologist or pharmacist if
- Acne is deep, painful, leaves scars, or has not improved after weeks of self-treatment (NHS).
- Dryness persists despite cream: an underlying skin condition may need treatment (AAD).
- Severe redness, burning or a rash appears after a new product: stop it.
- You will use more than one acid or a retinol together: ask before combining.
- In pregnancy or breastfeeding: ask before any product with active ingredients.
- No studies compare these products, so choose by the page details and what your skin tolerates.
