This Q+A cream offers a nourishing, fragrance-free base with a promising peptide, but its bold anti-aging claims outrun the publicly visible evidence for the finished product.
₹1,650 • Analysed 31 August 2026
This Q+A Collagen Face Cream is positioned at a premium price point of Rs.1650 for 50g in the Indian market. Its rich, emollient-heavy formula with Shea Butter and other oils is well-suited for dry to normal skin types, especially in cooler, drier Indian climates, but might feel heavy for oily or combination skin in hot and humid conditions. The claims of 'wrinkle-preventing' and 'reducing fine lines' are ambitious for the Indian regulatory landscape (ASCI) without specific finished product clinical data, though the brand uses hedged language like 'helping to improve'. The 'vegetarian' and 'fragrance-free' claims are a positive for Indian consumers seeking specific formulations.
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 Tripeptide-29, a synthetic peptide often marketed as 'vegan collagen', supporting the 'vegetarian' aspect. 'Wrinkle-preventing' is a strong claim, supported by ingredient-level research on peptides, but no finished product evidence is publicly visible.
Ingredients like Tripeptide-29, Shea Butter, and Glycerin can contribute to skin hydration and a feeling of suppleness. However, 'improving firmness and elasticity' are performance claims that lack finished product clinical evidence for this specific product.
The INCI lists Tripeptide-29 (marketed as 'Seaweed Derived Collagen'), Magnesium PCA, and Shea Butter. These ingredients have general research supporting skin benefits. However, the claim to 'reduce fine lines and signs of ageing' for this specific product lacks finished product clinical evidence.
The formula contains several emollients (Shea Butter, Sunflower Seed Oil, Cocoa Seed Butter, Olive Fruit Oil) and humectants (Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate) that support deep nourishment and hydration. The ingredient percentages are not disclosed, but their position in the INCI suggests meaningful levels.
This is a broad claim. While the product contains ingredients like Tripeptide-29 and Tocopherol that have anti-aging properties, there is no finished product evidence to substantiate this claim for the cream itself.
Tripeptide-29 is known to support collagen synthesis. However, the claim of 'collagen boosting' for the finished product lacks specific clinical evidence.
Similar to 'improving firmness', this claim is supported by ingredient-level theory (Tripeptide-29) but lacks finished product evidence.
The formula contains multiple humectants (Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate) and emollients (Shea Butter, Sunflower Seed Oil) that provide hydration. This claim is well-supported by formula logic.
