| Verdict | Kaya's salicylic acid cleanser for acne-prone Indian skin — 1% BHA in a gentle amino-acid surfactant base. The brand's dermatology-clinic heritage means the formulation balances acne-targeting with non-stripping cleanse. Daily use is fine for oily/combo; alternate days for sensitive acne-prone. | mCaffeine's hero — a coffee-and-caffeine-led cleanser that put Indian D2C beauty on the global map. The 1% caffeine + Arabica coffee extract delivers a tingling, brightening cleanse with subtle pore-tightening over weeks of use. Coffee scent is real and pleasant. The brand's whole concept is built on this product working — and it does. |
