2% Salicylic Acid Face Serum with Korean White Lotus
Pilgrim is the Indian K-beauty-leaning brand and the 2% Salicylic Serum genuinely earns the Korean reference โ phellodendron amurense bark, salix alba (willow), rehmannia, neem leaf, scutellaria baicalensis, houttuynia cordata, soybean seed, Lactobacillus/pear juice ferment, white lotus flower, torreya nucifera. The K-beauty fermented + botanical stack at โน650 ($12).

2% Alpha Arbutin Face Serum
Pilgrim's alpha-arbutin serum โ a gentle depigmenting treatment that pairs well with India's sun-intense climate where hyperpigmentation is a universal concern. Alpha-arbutin is a competitive tyrosinase inhibitor (it blocks the enzyme that produces melanin) โ gentler and more stable than hydroquinone, with a stronger evidence base than most botanical brighteners. The 2% concentration is clinical-grade, supported by niacinamide (melanosome transfer inhibition โ a complementary brightening mechanism) and hyaluronic acid (hydration). Pilgrim positions itself as a 'destination beauty' brand with travel-themed product lines (Korean, French, Jeju, Vineyards), making clinical actives approachable through lifestyle branding. At ~โน799 (~$10) for 30ml, budget pricing that competes directly with Minimalist and The Derma Co.
