Glycerin and Panthenol provide additional humectant support, and Centella Asiatica Extract adds a soothing benefit for barrier-compromised skin. There is no fragrance, no dyes, and no parabens, making this one of the cleaner serum options available in the Indian market.

Multi-weight hyaluronic acid is particularly effective in India's variable climate. The high-MW HA surface film prevents transepidermal water loss in dry, air-conditioned environments, while Aloe Juice and Centella support barrier recovery after sun exposure common to Fitzpatrick III-V skin tones. Applying to damp skin immediately after cleansing maximises moisture capture. Layering under a lightweight moisturiser is recommended in low-humidity environments such as Delhi in winter or high-altitude cities.
This is a web evidence review, not a Clean Sheet certification. We checked the ingredient list, publicly available test reports, marketing claims, and formula logic using only public information available at the time of review.
Pilgrim explicitly states 2% Hyaluronic Acid on the product page.
No Parfum, Fragrance, or scent-use essential oils appear in the published INCI.
The presence of three HA molecular weights is consistent with a layered hydration mechanism, but no finished-product clinical study or hydration measurement test is publicly available.
The fragrance-free, dye-free formulation is consistent with broad tolerability, but no patch test result or HRIPT study is publicly published.

Clean allergen profile with a fragrance free formula.
This serum has one of the cleaner ingredient lists in its category. There is no synthetic fragrance, no parabens, no UV filters, and no cosmetic dyes. Every ingredient has a well-established safety record in leave-on skincare. Phenoxyethanol is a standard preservative used across skincare globally and appears towards the end of the list, suggesting it is present at a low concentration well within the permitted limit of one percent. Sodium Hydroxide is used in a trace amount only to calibrate the formula pH. Carbomer is a safe gel-forming polymer used across skincare globally. Nothing in this formula raises a red flag under Indian, EU, US, Korean, Canadian, or Australian regulatory frameworks.
Using three forms of hyaluronic acid together is a well-designed hydration approach. The large-molecule form stays at the skin surface and locks in moisture immediately. The smaller fragment penetrates deeper into the upper skin layers for longer-lasting hydration. The third form, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, has a fat-like modification that helps it stick to skin rather than evaporating, extending the hydrating effect. Glycerin appears well up in the ingredient list, suggesting it is present at a meaningful concentration. Panthenol supports barrier repair. The combined 2% HA total is confirmed by the brand. The individual breakdown of how much each HA type contributes to that 2% is not published, which limits verification of whether the more novel forms are present at functionally meaningful levels.
Good evidence for stated claims based on public information.
The full ingredient list is published on the brand product page. Pilgrim confirms 2% Hyaluronic Acid, which is a meaningful and honest concentration disclosure. The individual split between the three HA forms within that 2% is not stated. Supporting ingredients such as Centella Asiatica, Panthenol, and Allantoin are not individually quantified. No clinical study data has been published for this specific formula. The fragrance-free claim is confirmed by the INCI. Overall, transparency is above average for the Indian market.
“2% Hyaluronic Acid” Pilgrim explicitly states 2% Hyaluronic Acid on the product page.
“Fragrance-free” No Parfum, Fragrance, or scent-use essential oils appear in the published INCI.
“Deep layered hydration” The presence of three HA molecular weights is consistent with a layered hydration mechanism, but no finished-product clinical study or hydration measurement test is publicly available.
The brand confirms the 2% HA concentration and publishes the full ingredient list, which represents a meaningful level of disclosure. No lab test report, clinical study, preservative efficacy test, or dermatologist-tested report with method details is publicly accessible on the product page or brand website. This is the typical position for Indian skincare brands at this price point. A preservative challenge test result and an in-use stability report would significantly improve this pillar.
Application instructions and frequency guidance are available on the product page. Suitability for all skin types is clearly stated. A note recommending use on damp skin to maximise moisture capture is present. The product does not provide layering guidance for users combining this with other actives in a multi-step routine, which is a common gap across the brand's serum range.

This assessment is based only on publicly available INCI, claims, and test evidence. It is not a full Clean Sheet certification. Full certification requires confidential formula review, exact concentrations, supplier documentation, manufacturing records, packaging compatibility, preservative efficacy, stability, and complete claim validation.
