MerryDerma has come a long way since our beginnings a few years ago. It has been a difficult journey, and right now, is still one of the most difficult times. As the cofounder of MerryDerma, I wanted to take a moment to share our journey with you, highlighting the ups and downs we’ve faced along the way, and an update on where we hope to be.
Beginnings
Our story is one of dedication and commitment to bringing the best skincare solutions to you. MerryDerma began as a small venture, run by the parents of, and inspired by, a very eczema prone child. Our aim was to create a place where everyone could find high-quality, reliable skincare products that catered to their unique needs, products we’d willingly pay for, and use, ourselves.
Taking Root
Thanks to your trust and support, MerryDerma grew quickly. Word spread quickly about our quality products and personalized customer service. We never paid anyone, but influencers, news outlets and skin-care enthusiasts picked us up. And customer reviews backed up that trust.
The Current Difficulties
We expanded quickly, but Pakistan’s economy took a turn for the worse a couple of months ago. There are now tough, almost non-navigable, restrictions in place for imports for a small, but good-faith company like ours, taxation is growing ever higher, and cost-of-business is spiraling up. That is reflected in the limited stock available for sale on our site.
Way Forward: Staying True to Our Values
Despite these hurdles, we remain steadfast in our commitment to you. We are stil operational, still doing the absolute best we can to bring you genuine, authentic, skin care products, and not compromising our ethos. We cannot promise things will get better, as things are not always in our control. However, we would rather shut-down than compromise our ethics, and thus, whatever limited stuff we have in stock, we will continue to offer with the same integrity as always.
With gratitude,
Fahd
