India's Skincare Revolution: Acne, Sunscreen, Pigmentation Habits Evolve Fast

  • India's new generation is driving a rapid evolution in skincare, focusing on conscious and careful habits.
  • Acne now starts earlier and lasts longer, influenced by stress, diet, and pollution; treatments prioritize rebalancing and barrier repair.
  • Sunscreen has become non-negotiable, understood for UV damage, used widely, and available in lightweight, suitable formulas.
  • Pigmentation care shifts from bleaching to healing, utilizing ingredients like tranexamic acid, azelaic acid, and niacinamide.
  • Supplements (collagen, omega-3s, zinc, biotin) are now routine, reflecting a growing emphasis on internal health and the gut-skin connection.

Why It Matters: India's skincare is rapidly maturing, driven by a conscious generation embracing holistic, science-backed approaches.
