While it excels as a primer, FLiCKA Silk Touch overstates its '3-in-1' capabilities, particularly its unsubstantiated sun protection and Vitamin C claims, leading to high consumer confusion risk.
₹836 • Analysed 13 October 2026
This FLiCKA Silk Touch product is positioned as a 3-in-1 solution for Indian consumers, combining moisturizer, primer, and sun protection. While the moisturizing and priming aspects are well-supported by the silicone-rich formula, the 'sunscreen alternative' and 'sun protection' claims are highly problematic as no UV filters are present in the INCI. This raises significant ASCI and CDSCO concerns for misrepresentation, especially given India's high UV index. The price point of ₹899 for 60g is at the premium end for a primer/moisturizer hybrid in the Indian market, and the lack of transparency regarding the 'Vitamin C' claim further impacts its value proposition. The presence of fragrance may also be a consideration for sensitive Indian skin types.
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 emollients and humectants for moisturization and silicones for priming.
While it contains moisturizing and priming ingredients, the INCI list does not show any UV filters to support the 'sunscreen alternative' claim.
Dermatologically tested is claimed, but no details of testing on diverse skin types (e.g., oily, sensitive) are provided. The formula contains silicones and fragrance which may not suit all sensitive skin types.
The formula contains humectants (Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol, Propylene Glycol) and emollients (Liquid Paraffin, Stearic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Dimethicone) that support hydration.
Silicones (Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Crosspolymer) are effective for creating a smooth, pore-blurring base and enhancing makeup longevity.
Shea Butter, Vitamin E, Aloe Vera, and Palm Kernel Oil (via derivatives) are present in INCI. However, Vitamin C is claimed but not found in the INCI list. Coconut Oil is claimed but not explicitly listed, though derivatives may be present.
Ingredients like Shea Butter, Vitamin E, and Aloe Vera have general research supporting skin nourishment and protection. However, specific finished product evidence for 'improving texture and elasticity' is not publicly visible.
Silicones and Palm Kernel Oil derivatives contribute to a silky, matte finish and pore minimization.
