While offering a promising blend of brightening and hydrating ingredients, this serum's claims are sometimes ahead of its visible evidence, with a notable red flag regarding an unsubstantiated SPF claim on a third-party platform.
₹295 • 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 price for the 30ml serum shows significant variation across platforms, ranging from Rs.295 to Rs.590. Consumers should compare prices on different e-commerce sites before purchasing, as discounts are frequently available. 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.
Vitamin C is a known antioxidant, and the INCI lists Sodium Ascorbate (Vitamin C) and Tocopherol (Vitamin E). This is ingredient-level evidence, not finished product testing.
Vitamin C and Niacinamide (present in INCI) are known to help with brightening and hyperpigmentation. However, no finished product study with specific results or duration is publicly visible to support the 'regular use outcomes' claim.
Vitamin C is known to play a role in collagen synthesis. However, no finished product study is publicly visible to demonstrate this product's effect on collagen production or reduction of fine lines/wrinkles.
Antioxidants like Vitamin C can help mitigate sun damage, but this is not a substitute for sunscreen. The claim is ingredient-level, not finished product testing.
The INCI lists Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid, and Sodium Hyaluronate, which are effective humectants. This claim is well-supported by formula logic and ingredient presence.
Vitamin C can help with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) which often manifests as 'acne scars'. However, no finished product evidence is publicly visible to support this specific claim for the product.
Vitamin C has known anti-inflammatory properties. This is ingredient-level evidence, not finished product testing.
The retrieved INCI list does not contain any ingredients typically identified as parabens, supporting this claim.
