This Vitamin C face wash offers a gentle cleanse with good actives, but its ambitious claims, particularly '100X Vitamin C' and 'preservative free', are not fully substantiated or are directly contradicted by its own ingredient list, requiring consumers to manage expectations.
₹212 • Analysed 18 July 2026
For India's hot, humid, higher-pollution days, a cleanser that lifts sweat, sebum and grime without stripping the barrier is the practical fit; hard water in many cities can affect how it lathers and rinses. The product's MRP is consistent across major e-commerce platforms, but significant discounts are frequently available, making the effective price considerably lower than the stated MRP. Consumers should compare prices across platforms before purchase. 3 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.
INCI list confirms absence of common sulfates (e.g., SLS, SLES) and presence of mild surfactants (Decyl Glucoside, Cocamidopropyl Betaine).
Face washes are designed for cleansing. The presence of surfactants in the INCI supports this functional claim.
Vitamin C (from Yuzu Lemon and Kakadu Plum) is known for brightening. However, 'on every wash' is a strong time-bound claim for a rinse-off product, and no finished product study is publicly visible to support this immediate effect.
INCI lists Citrus Junos (Yuzu Lemon) Extract and Terminalia Ferdinandiana (Kakadu Plum) Fruit Extract. These are known sources of Vitamin C.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant, which can help against oxidative stress from pollution. However, 'protects from pollution' is a strong claim for a rinse-off product, and no finished product evidence is publicly visible. Biosaccharide Gum-4 is an ingredient known for anti-pollution benefits, but its efficacy in a rinse-off product needs specific testing.
Cleansing can make skin feel fresh. 'Glowing' after every wash is an ambitious claim for a rinse-off product without specific finished product testing.
The formula uses mild surfactants and humectants, suggesting general suitability. No specific mildness testing for 'all skin types' is publicly visible, but the formulation is generally gentle.
INCI list does not contain 'Paraben' or common sulfate names (e.g., Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate).

Public evidence the brand could provide to close verification gaps
This review evaluates brand claims against visible evidence and formula logic for 'Lotus Herbals WhiteGlow Vitamin C Radiance Face Wash'. The user's original query 'Lotus Herbals Radiant Choice Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Wash' did not yield a distinct product in public listings; 'Radiant Choice' is not a recognized product line for a Vitamin C + Turmeric face wash from Lotus Herbals, and Turmeric is not an ingredient in the 'WhiteGlow Vitamin C Radiance Face Wash'. This review does not replace a full ingredient safety analysis or a clinical product test. Results vary by individual, and the consumer should always read the full ingredient list and follow usage guidance.
