While formulated with promising actives for melanin support, this serum's boldest claims of 'reversing' grey hair significantly outrun its publicly visible evidence, requiring consumers to manage expectations.
₹1,199 • Analysed 15 October 2026
This anti-grey hair serum is positioned at a premium price point in the Indian market, with an MRP of Rs.1499 for 50ml, though it's often discounted. The primary claim of 'Reverses Grey Hair' is highly ambitious and, if interpreted as a treatment, could attract scrutiny from CDSCO under the Drugs & Cosmetics Act, as it lacks publicly visible finished product clinical data. Similarly, quantified claims like 'Visible results in 60-90 days' without verifiable studies may raise ASCI concerns. The water-based, non-greasy formula is well-suited for the Indian climate, preventing heavy residue on the scalp.
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.
