In 1952, Josep Martí Tor, a restless chemist establishes his pharmacy in Barcelona, Spain. By 1989 Josep had developed a legendary formula by combining Proteoglycans and pure Vitamin C that regenerate the skin following peel treatments that dermatologists often used at the time.
The Ampoule
Josep chose the ampoule format to protect the formula from into contact with light and air, preventing oxidation of the pure Vitamin C, the most active form of all its variations. In doing so, he created a new category in skincare that went on to revolutionise the dermo-cosmetic market. The very first ampoules were produced as magistral formulas, meaning they were compounded individually in the pharmacy laboratory.
To help meet the demand for this new product, the second generation of the family decided to build the MartiDerm Laboratory in a small town close to the pharmacy. They never imagined the exponential growth they would experience in the coming years. The ampoules are the product that best exemplifies the brand’s success. Their innovative topaz glass format was an immediate success and over 180,000 ampoules are now sold around the world every day, a product that has earned the trust of dermatologists, pharmacists, and customers the world over.
MartiDerm’s in-house laboratory and research offer transparency and innovation, with the latest ingredients that have proven efficacy in clinical studies.
