A well-formulated and transparently marketed Vitamin C serum that delivers on its primary claims with strong clinical evidence, making it a reliable choice for targeted skin concerns.
₹699 • Analysed 30 September 2026
This serum, with its potent antioxidant blend of Vitamin C, E, and Ferulic Acid, is well-suited for the high UV and pollution conditions prevalent in India, offering protection against environmental damage and targeting hyperpigmentation common in Fitzpatrick III-V skin types. Priced at Rs. 699 for 30ml (Rs. 23.3/ml), it sits in the mid-to-premium segment for serums, justified by its active concentration and clinical claims. The brand's transparent disclosure of active percentages and clinical results aligns well with ASCI guidelines for quantified claims.
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 INCI lists 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, and the brand explicitly states a 16% concentration.
Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) and Ferulic Acid are present in the retrieved INCI list.
The brand states 'Clinically proven to reduce dark spots by 29% in 8 weeks', providing a quantified clinical result for this claim.
3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C derivative) is known to support collagen synthesis. No finished product study specifically for collagen boosting is detailed.
The combination of Vitamin C, E, and Ferulic Acid is a well-known antioxidant complex that helps protect against free radical damage from UV exposure. This is ingredient-level evidence; no finished product study for this specific claim is detailed.
Vitamin C can improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines over time by supporting collagen. This is ingredient-level evidence; no finished product study for this specific claim is detailed.
The pH range is disclosed by the brand, which is optimal for Vitamin C stability and efficacy.
The retrieved INCI list does not contain 'Parfum', 'Fragrance', or any common essential oils. INCIDecoder also labels it fragrance & essential-oil free.
