Avien Laboratories Ltd Skin and Hair Products

Avien Laboratories Limited makes dermatological preparations: a scabies treatment, an antifungal lotion, medicated shampoos, ceramide moisturisers, sunscreens and a pigmentation range.

Every listing sits under Dermatological Preparations. The sections below group it by what each product treats, and the scabies section comes first because it is both the largest and the one where doing it wrong wastes the treatment.

Scabilice — Treating Scabies

• SCABILICE Scabicidal Lotion 100ml – For Scabies & Pediculosis lotion 10% + 5% — crotamiton with permethrin, and the most opened listing on the brand.
• Scabilice Bar 100gm — under Medicated Soap.

Scabies is a mite that burrows into the skin. It is intensely itchy at night, spreads by prolonged skin contact, and it is treated rather than waited out.

Everyone in the household is treated on the same day

This is the single most important thing about scabies treatment and the reason most courses fail. Close contacts carry the mite before they itch, so treating one person and not the rest simply passes it back.

Treat everyone who lives in the house, and anyone in close regular contact, on the same day — whether or not they have symptoms.

How the lotion is applied

Onto cool, dry skin, over the whole body from the neck down, including between the fingers and toes, under the nails, the soles, the groin and the buttocks. Every centimetre of skin, not just the itchy parts.

For infants, the elderly and anyone immunocompromised, the scalp, face and ears are included too — a doctor should direct that. Leave it on for the time the label states, usually overnight, and wash it off afterwards. If you wash your hands during that period, reapply to them.

Bedding and clothes, the same day

Wash clothes, bedding and towels used in the previous three days in hot water and dry them thoroughly. Anything that cannot be washed goes in a sealed bag for a week; the mite does not survive long away from skin.

The itch continues after the mites are dead

This catches almost everyone out. Itching commonly carries on for two to four weeks after successful treatment, because it is an allergic response to the dead mites rather than a sign of live ones.

Do not re-treat repeatedly on that basis. A second application after the interval the label states is standard; beyond that, see a doctor rather than reapplying, because over-treatment irritates skin and can look like continuing infestation.

Lulifin Plus — Antifungal Lotion

Avien Lulifin Plus Anti-Fungal Lotion 60ml is a topical antifungal.

Keep going after it looks better

Fungal skin infections settle visibly well before they are cleared. Stopping at that point is the usual reason ringworm comes back, so the course runs for the full period stated and usually a little beyond the point the rash disappears.

Do not put a steroid cream on it

A potent steroid on a fungal infection damps the redness and lets the fungus spread underneath, producing a larger, oddly-shaped patch that is harder to treat. If a rash has been treated with a steroid and got worse, that is worth mentioning to a doctor.

Treat the conditions as well as the skin

Fungus thrives in warm damp skin folds. Drying properly after washing, loose cotton clothing and not sharing towels do as much as the lotion does, and without them the infection returns.

Medicated Shampoos

• Avien KZS Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 100ml and Avien Redsyl AHF Anti-Hairfall Shampoo 100ml

Both under Medicated Shampoo.

A medicated shampoo needs contact time to work. Lather, leave it on the scalp for the minutes the label states, then rinse — a shampoo applied and rinsed straight off has delivered almost nothing.

Dandruff that does not respond, or a scalp that is sore, weeping, scaling heavily or losing hair in patches, needs a doctor rather than a longer course.

Redsyl Hair Serum

Avien Redsyl Hair Serum Advanced Fortified Formulation For Revitalizing Hair Growth 60ml is the brand’s second-biggest listing.

A leave-on scalp serum has a better chance than a shampoo simply because it stays on. Give any of them months rather than weeks before judging.

Hair fall with a cause — thyroid disease, iron deficiency, a recent illness, pregnancy, a genetic pattern — is not reached by anything applied to the scalp. Shedding that starts suddenly, comes in patches, or affects a woman is worth a blood test first.

DryNil — Moisturisers for Dry and Atopic Skin

• DryNil Hydra 100gm and DRYNIL ATO Lotion 100ml – Ceramide-Rich Moisturizer for Dry, Itchy & Sensitive Skin (Face & Body)
• Hydrabar Moisturizing Bar 100gm

Ceramides repair rather than treat

A ceramide moisturiser rebuilds the skin barrier that eczema-prone skin lacks. It is not a treatment for a flare — that is what a prescribed steroid or other anti-inflammatory is for — but consistent use between flares is what reduces how often they happen.

Apply it damp, and generously

Within a few minutes of washing, while skin still holds water. Eczema-prone skin needs far more moisturiser than most people apply and needs it every day, including on the days it looks fine.

A moisturising bar instead of soap

Ordinary soap strips an already-compromised barrier. A moisturising bar or a soap substitute is the swap that makes the most difference for someone with dry or atopic skin, and it costs nothing extra to make it.

Mela-A — the Pigmentation Range

• Mela-A Face Serum 50ml – Anti-Melasma & Anti-Dark Spot and Mela-A Foaming Gel 200ml
• Mela-A Radiance SPF 50+ Fluid – Anti-Melasma & Skin Brightening, 50ml

A three-step range aimed at melasma, under Miscellaneous Topical Agents.

What These Products Can and Cannot Do About Skin Tone

Several listings here carry the words whitening, lightening or brightening, so it is worth being exact.

What the ingredients genuinely do. Actives of this type act on pigment that is uneven — melasma, sun marks, post-acne marks, patches that have darkened. Used consistently over months they make tone more even and marks less visible, and that effect is real and measurable.

What they do not do. They do not change the colour of your skin. Baseline tone is inherited and set by how much melanin the skin produces, and nothing applied to the surface reaches that. A product sold on the promise of permanently fairer skin is describing an outcome it has no mechanism to produce.

What actually decides the result. Daily sun protection, because melasma in particular darkens in daylight faster than any serum clears it. That is why this range includes an SPF fluid, and why the sunscreen matters more to the outcome than the serum does.

Melasma is a diagnosis, not a description

It is a specific pattern of facial pigmentation with specific triggers — sun, pregnancy, hormonal contraception — and it is managed rather than cured. It comes back when treatment stops and when sun exposure resumes, and a doctor is the right person to confirm it before months are spent treating something else.

Sunscreens

• Safe Block Dry Touch Micronized Sunscreen Fluid SPF 50 PA+++ 50 gm and Avien Sunonomics Plus Dermatological Sunblock With SPF 50+ & PA+++ 50ml

Under Sunblock Preparation within Protection of Skin from Solar Radiation.

SPF and PA are two different measurements

SPF rates protection against the burning wavelengths. PA rates protection against the longer ones that drive pigmentation and ageing. A product needs to do both, and a high figure on one says nothing about the other.

The quantity is where the protection is lost

Rated figures assume roughly two finger-lengths for a face and neck, which is far more than most people apply. Half the quantity gives considerably less than half the number, and reapplying at midday matters more than choosing between these two.

Faironomics and Brightone

• Avien Brightone Body Lotion Body Whitening 100ml and Avien Faironomics Plus Skin Lightening Gel 50ml

These carry the vocabulary the section above is about, and everything said there applies to them. Read them as products for uneven tone and marks, use sunscreen alongside, and give any of it months.

Stop and ask a pharmacist if skin becomes irritated, unusually red, or begins to darken rather than even out. That last one is a warning sign rather than slow progress.

Where Avien Sits on Arogga

This page collects one manufacturer, and every listing sits on a dermatological shelf. Those shelves collect one kind of preparation across manufacturers, which is the comparison worth making when a pharmacist suggests an alternative.

Packs and stock change, so the listing is the record.

About Avien Laboratories Limited

Avien Laboratories Limited is a Bangladeshi dermatology manufacturer, and its catalogue is unusually coherent: every product treats skin, scalp or hair.

The scabies treatment draws the most interest here, followed by the hair serum, the body lotion and the antifungal lotion. Several products travel under their own names rather than under the company one — Scabilice, DryNil, Mela-A, Safe Block, Hydrabar.

It is searched as Avien Laboratories Ltd, as plain Avien, and in Bangla as এভিয়েন ল্যাবরেটরিজ লিমিটেড.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does everyone at home need treating for scabies?

Yes, on the same day, whether or not they itch. Close contacts carry the mite before symptoms appear, so treating one person and not the rest simply passes it back. This is the commonest reason a course fails.

2. Where do I apply the scabies lotion?

Onto cool dry skin over the whole body from the neck down — between fingers and toes, under the nails, soles, groin and buttocks, not only the itchy parts. For infants, the elderly and anyone immunocompromised the scalp and face are included too, on a doctor’s direction.

3. I am still itching after treatment — did it fail?

Probably not. Itching commonly continues for two to four weeks afterwards, because it is an allergic response to the dead mites. One repeat after the interval the label states is standard; beyond that see a doctor rather than reapplying, since over-treatment irritates skin.

4. What do I do about bedding and clothes?

Wash everything used in the previous three days in hot water and dry it thoroughly, on the same day as the treatment. Anything that cannot be washed goes in a sealed bag for a week — the mite does not survive long away from skin.

5. Can I use a steroid cream on a fungal rash?

No. A steroid damps the redness and lets the fungus spread underneath, producing a larger, oddly-shaped patch that is harder to treat. If a rash has been treated with a steroid and got worse, mention that to a doctor.

6. How should a medicated shampoo be used?

Lather, leave it on the scalp for the minutes stated on the label, then rinse. Contact time is how it works, and a shampoo rinsed off immediately has delivered almost nothing. Non-responding dandruff, or a sore or weeping scalp, needs a doctor.

7. Will these creams make my skin fairer?

No. Baseline tone is inherited and set by melanin production, and nothing applied to the surface reaches it. What they act on is uneven pigment — melasma, sun marks, post-acne marks — over months, and daily sun protection decides how much of that holds.

8. How much sunscreen should I actually use?

About two finger-lengths for a face and neck, which is far more than most people apply. Half that gives considerably less than half the rated protection, and reapplying at midday matters more than the choice of product.
