| Verdict | Minimalist (the brand) is India's answer to The Ordinary, and the 10% Vitamin C is the gentler sister to their 16% formula. 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (one of the most stable vitamin C derivatives) + acetyl glucosamine + gluconolactone (PHA) + sodium hyaluronate. Centella leaf water as #1 ingredient. ₹599 ($11) for an 18-ingredient clinical serum. | ReEquil is India's quiet science-forward dermo brand and Sebonormin is their sebum-control workhorse. Niacinamide leads the INCI for tone + sebum balance, Zinc PCA reinforces oil control, and the unusual addition of meadowsweet (Spiraea Ulmaria, a natural salicylic source) and Boerhavia Diffusa adds the kind of botanical credibility that separates ReEquil from the influencer-driven Indian indie pack. |
