A well-formulated serum with transparent active percentages, but its ambitious performance and time-bound claims currently outrun the publicly visible finished-product evidence.
₹594 • 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 product's MRP is consistent across platforms, but it is frequently discounted on major marketplaces like Nykaa and Amazon, offering a more competitive price per ml for an active serum. 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.
The INCI list confirms 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (a stable Vitamin C derivative) as the 3rd ingredient, supporting the 10% claim.

“For all skin types”
Claiming 'for all skin types' for an active-heavy product (10% Vitamin C, 5% Niacinamide) without specific mildness testing for sensitive skin types can be an ASCI concern.
“Visible results in 3-6 weeks”
A quantified time-bound claim like 'visible results in 3-6 weeks' requires a published, verifiable study to be compliant with ASCI guidelines.
