Our Pick
Mediheal
Higher editor rating (9 vs 7.9)
Kaya
Kaya skin clinics are India's answer to Kiehl's ร a derm office โ and the branded product line that sits alongside is better than most mass-market Indian skincare. The Acne Free Purifying Nano-Clay Mask and Youth Shield Age Correcting Cream are solid. Pricing is mid-tier but the clinical credibility is real.
Pros
- โ Dermatologist-backed formulations
- โ Strong acne and pigmentation results
- โ Real-world clinical feedback loop
Cons
- โ Better in-clinic than at retail
- โ Fragranced
- โ Limited international availability

Mediheal is the top-selling skincare brand at Olive Young for two years running โ beating more than 3,000 brands.

If you only add one new sheet mask brand to your routine, make it this one.
Pros
- โ #1 selling brand at Olive Young
- โ Clinical-grade sheet mask formulations
- โ The Madecassoside line is category-defining
- โ Affordable daily-use pricing
Cons
- โ Sheet masks are single-use and generate waste
