₹290 • Analysed 22 October 2026
This face wash is positioned for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin, which is highly relevant for the Indian climate where humidity and pollution can exacerbate these concerns. The inclusion of Salicylic Acid and Glycolic Acid aligns with common recommendations for managing acne and improving skin texture. However, the claim of '72-hour hydration' for a rinse-off product, based solely on an ingredient's properties, may be subject to ASCI scrutiny as it lacks finished product evidence. The product's distribution primarily through e-pharmacies suggests it targets consumers seeking specific active ingredients for skin concerns, rather than broad retail appeal.
Independent and free. The Clean Sheet takes no money from brands to analyse, rank, or approve a product. This is a web evidence analysis, 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 analysis.
Common claim for face washes; formula contains surfactants and refreshing ingredients like Tea Tree Oil.
Ingredients are listed in the INCI.
Formula contains surfactants (Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine) designed for cleansing.
Subjective claim, generally expected from a face wash. Tea Tree Oil can contribute to a fresh feel.
Saccharide Isomerate (Pentavitin) is known for its hydrating properties.
Salicylic Acid and Glycolic Acid are beneficial for acne-prone and oily skin. However, without mildness testing for the finished product, 'suitable for regular use' for sensitive acne-prone skin is an assumption.
Salicylic Acid is a well-known beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) effective for oily and blemish-prone skin.
Glycolic Acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) known for its exfoliating properties.
What we could confirm from public sources and the verified ingredient list.
Ingredient Safety & Toxicity
Full ingredient list retrieved and verified against the label.
Screened against the ingredient database (7 of 17 ingredients matched); no cosmetics-prohibited ingredient found.
No ingredient with a recognised endocrine-activity concern found in the database.
No IARC-classified or formaldehyde-releasing ingredient found in the database screen.
No commonly-comedogenic ingredient found - a reasonable fit for acne-prone skin.
Irritation & Allergen Risk
Fragranced, but individual allergens are hidden behind 'Parfum' rather than declared.
MI - a known contact sensitiser; EU bans it in leave-on products. MCI - sensitiser, tightly restricted to rinse-off at low levels.
Uses milder (non-sulphate) surfactants.
Ingredient Transparency
The full INCI list is publicly available, not just hero ingredients.
Any proprietary 'complex' is broken down into its actual ingredients.
Ingredients are listed in the descending order required by India Cosmetics Rules 2020.
Screened against a curated reference set that we are continuing to verify and expand, so “clear” means no flag from that set, not a guarantee. Not a substitute for a full toxicological or clinical assessment.

Their presence here is for a rinse-off product, which is permissible within limits, but they are known sensitizers.
