Komal gained popularity as a singer and actor in her early teens. A true patriot, that she is, she has contributed immensely to the entertainment industry in Pakistan. She was always self aware and conscious about skin care, and used to import skincare products for her own use since she was very young.

She always felt that our country lacked good quality and affordable skincare products. After a lot of research and study in skin care, Komal launched her own skin care range in 2019.

With the aim to make products that were safe and effective, she took Canada based chemists on board and imported products that she couldn’t source locally. Before making them available for sale, she personally tried and tested each product.

She started with 3 basic products, a brightening glow cream, a glow serum and a sun block. She later expanded her product line and launched 3 different face washes, an acne range, toner, scrubs, eyelashes, and a hair care range. Today, she is the proud owner of a skin care brand, widely loved and admired by Pakistan. As they are marked at very low prices, her products can be afforded by most Pakistani women.

In order to create more awareness, she personally conducts online tutorials through which she teaches the Pakistani women how to use her products and also ensures that they are aware of the importance of skin care.
She believes that skin care is also very important for men! This is why she has recently launched a basic skin and hair care range for men!

Today, TrulyKomal products are loved and sold country-wide! They are available in all leading stores around the country. Keeping in mind the digital era that we are entering, Komal Rizvi made sure that all her products are also available online and can be ordered through Instagram and facebook.
