This serum offers a solid hydrating and barrier-supporting formula with 5% Niacinamide, but its more ambitious anti-aging and quantified hydration claims outrun the visible evidence.
₹699 • Analysed 18 July 2026
Actives like this can raise sun sensitivity, which India's high year-round UV makes significant, so pairing with a daytime SPF is important; the lighter the vehicle, the better it tends to wear in heat and humidity. The product maintains consistent pricing across all major online platforms in India, with a common discounted price making it competitive for a serum with its active profile. 2 marketing claims could draw ASCI scrutiny under India's advertising code; the ingredient list is the more reliable guide.
Independent and free. The Clean Sheet takes no money from brands to review, rank, or approve a product. 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.
The retrieved INCI lists Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, and Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate (4 distinct HA forms). Other hydrating ingredients are present, but are not 'forms of Hyaluronic Acid'. The claim is an overstatement if strictly interpreted.
The formula is rich in humectants and hydrating ingredients, including 5% Niacinamide, Glycerin, Saccharide Isomerate, multiple HA forms, Polyglutamic Acid, Panthenol, Ectoin, and Glycogen, strongly supporting deep hydration.
Contains 5% Niacinamide, Ceramides (NP), Panthenol, Ectoin, and Linolenic Acid, all of which are known to support and strengthen the skin barrier.
While ingredients like Niacinamide, HA, and Hydroxypropyl Tetrahydropyrantriol have anti-aging properties, there is no finished product clinical evidence publicly visible to support this specific claim for this serum. Many actives for this claim are low in the INCI.
The formula is water-based with a high concentration of humectants and no heavy occlusives or oils high in the INCI, making a lightweight and non-sticky feel plausible.
Claimed 'Dermatologically Tested' and 'Non-Comedogenic'. The formula is fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and contains soothing ingredients, making it generally suitable for most skin types, including sensitive.
The retrieved INCI list does not contain 'Parfum', 'Fragrance', or any common essential oils. INCIDecoder also labels it 'fragrance & essential-oil free'. This claim is strongly supported.
The retrieved INCI list does not contain drying alcohols (e.g., Ethanol, Alcohol Denat.). INCIDecoder also labels it 'alcohol-free'. This claim is strongly supported.
