This cleanser makes relevant claims for oily and acne-prone skin, but its complete lack of ingredient transparency leaves consumers unable to verify its 'free-from' promises or the true efficacy of its hero ingredients.
₹450 • Analysed 20 September 2026
The clearlyU Deep Cleanser is positioned as an affordable option for oily and acne-prone skin in the Indian market, priced at Rs.4.50/ml. Its claims of oil control, acne fighting, and pH balance are relevant for the Indian climate, which often contributes to excess sebum and breakouts. However, the lack of a publicly available full INCI list is a significant transparency gap under India Cosmetics Rules 2020, making it difficult for consumers to verify 'soap-free' or 'free from' claims. The 'Dermatologist Tested' claim is a positive, but without published study details, its weight is limited.
