Dershine Moisturising Lotion offers solid hydration at a good price, but consumers should be aware of the fragrance content and manage expectations regarding its therapeutic claims.
₹181.39 • Analysed 20 August 2026
Dershine Moisturising Lotion is positioned as an affordable daily moisturizer in the Indian market, with prices typically ranging from Rs.181-235 for 100ml. Its emollient-rich formula, featuring paraffins, shea butter, and dimethicone, is well-suited for addressing dryness, which can be exacerbated by harsh weather conditions in parts of India. While claims of 'managing eczema and psoriasis' and 'promoting healing' border on drug claims, the product is generally marketed as a cosmetic, and the presence of 'Fragrance' contradicts a 'fragrance-free' claim found in some user-generated content, which could attract ASCI scrutiny.
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 formula contains occlusives (paraffins, dimethicone) and humectants (glycerin, panthenol, aloe vera) that support long-lasting moisture retention. However, 'all-day' is a time-bound claim without specific finished-product testing visible.
Emollients like paraffins, shea butter, and dimethicone are known to impart a smooth, soft feel to the skin. This is a plausible cosmetic effect.
This is a common claim for pharmaceutical-backed brands. While plausible, no specific details of dermatologist endorsement or testing methodology are publicly visible.
Occlusive ingredients like white soft paraffin, light liquid paraffin, and dimethicone are well-known for forming a barrier on the skin to prevent transepidermal water loss, thus 'locking in' moisture.
Ingredients like Aloe Vera, Allantoin, and Shea Butter are known for their soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, supporting this claim.
While emollients and humectants support barrier function by hydrating and reducing water loss, 'strengthening' implies a more active repair. Niacinamide and Panthenol contribute to barrier health, but the claim is slightly ambitious without specific barrier repair lipids like ceramides (which are not listed in the INCI).
The formulation includes light liquid paraffin and dimethicone, which can provide a non-greasy feel, and the overall texture is often a result of formulation expertise. User reviews generally support this.
The presence of lighter emollients and silicones (dimethicone) can contribute to quick absorption. This is a common characteristic of well-formulated lotions.

“Manages dryness associated with skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis”
This claim borders on therapeutic language for medical conditions (eczema, psoriasis) without visible CDSCO drug license for these indications. While 'manages dryness' is softer, the explicit mention of conditions is a flag.
“Promotes healing of damaged skin”
This claim uses therapeutic language ('healing') for damaged skin, which could be interpreted as a drug claim without a CDSCO drug license.
“Fragrance-free”
A 'fragrance-free' claim is directly contradicted by the presence of 'Fragrance'/'Perfume' in the INCI list, which is an ASCI violation for misleading claims.
The formula contains occlusives (paraffins, dimethicone) and humectants (glycerin, panthenol, aloe vera) that support long-lasting moisture retention. However, 'all-day' is a time-bound claim without specific finished-product testing visible.

This is a common claim for pharmaceutical-backed brands. While plausible, no specific details of dermatologist endorsement or testing methodology are publicly visible.
Evidence visible
Occlusive ingredients like white soft paraffin, light liquid paraffin, and dimethicone are well-known for forming a barrier on the skin to prevent transepidermal water loss, thus 'locking in' moisture.

While emollients and humectants support barrier function by hydrating and reducing water loss, 'strengthening' implies a more active repair. Niacinamide and Panthenol contribute to barrier health, but the claim is slightly ambitious without specific barrier repair lipids like ceramides (which are not listed in the INCI).

The presence of lighter emollients and silicones (dimethicone) can contribute to quick absorption. This is a common characteristic of well-formulated lotions.
Mentioned only
The formula contains soothing ingredients (Aloe Vera, Allantoin) and common emollients. However, it also contains 'Fragrance' which can be an irritant for sensitive skin. 'All skin types' is a broad claim for a fragranced product.

Consistent moisturization and barrier support from the ingredients can contribute to these appearance benefits over time.
