This day cream offers everyday sun protection and hydration with botanical extracts, but its bold anti-ageing and 'preservative-free' claims are not fully supported by transparent evidence or its own ingredient list.
₹395 • Analysed 18 July 2026
India sees high UV year-round, so daily broad-spectrum protection (UVA/PA rating included) matters more here than the SPF number alone; reapply through the day in direct sun. The product's price varies significantly across platforms, from a low of Rs.395 to an MRP of Rs.835 for the 50g pack. Consumers should compare prices across retailers to find the best deal, as discounts are frequently available. The price per gram ranges from Rs.7.9 to Rs.16.7, which is mid-range for a day cream with SPF in India. 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.
General ingredient research supports anti-ageing properties of key actives like Ginseng, Ginger, and Vitamin E. No finished product study details are publicly visible to substantiate the 'transforming' aspect.
The presence of Titanium Dioxide in the INCI supports UV protection. SPF/PA claims are standard for sunscreens sold as cosmetics in India. While no specific ISO 24444 test report is publicly linked, this is a standard claim for a licensed cosmetic sunscreen.
The claim 'clinically proven' is stated, but no specific clinical study details (methodology, sample size, duration, results) are publicly visible to verify this claim for the finished product.
This is a highly ambitious, time-bound claim. No finished product clinical study with verifiable results within 'a week' (7 days) is publicly visible. Some sources mention '21 days' for visible difference, adding to inconsistency.
The brand consistently names 'Gineplex Youth Compound' as a blend of Ginseng, Ginger, and Milk Peptide. These ingredients are present in the INCI. While percentages are not disclosed, the compound's components are identified.
Ginger extract is known for its potential to help with hyperpigmentation. However, this is ingredient-level evidence, and no finished product testing for dark spot reduction is publicly visible.
The retrieved INCI lists 'Caprylhydroxamic Acid' which functions as a broad-spectrum preservative agent. While it's not a traditional preservative like parabens or phenoxyethanol, its role is to prevent microbial growth, thus contradicting the 'preservative-free' claim.
The INCI lists Glycerin and Sodium PCA, both excellent humectants, and emollients like Light Liquid Paraffin, Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides, and Dimethicone, which support moisturization.

“Clinically proven for accelerated lifting, firming and protective action”
ASCI requires substantiation for 'clinically proven' claims, which is not publicly provided here.
“Fights off wrinkles and reduces fine lines, revealing healthier, younger looking skin in a week.”
Quantified time-bound claims like 'in a week' require robust, published clinical evidence for the finished product, which is not publicly available.
“Preservative Free”
The claim 'preservative free' is contradicted by the presence of Caprylhydroxamic Acid in the INCI, which serves a preservative function. This is an absolute claim that is disproven by the product's own ingredient list.
