According to a study conducted by the Indian Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, we deducted that India has one of the lowest ratios of dermatologists to consumers in the world, and we believe that consumers deserve to have access to dermatological solutions that are effective and safe. We observed an increasing demand among consumers for skincare that is backed by science and recommended by healthcare professionals. With this launch, we aim to bridge this gap and meet the needs of our consumers, by providing access to expert dermatological care and effective skincare solutions."
