ONE JAR, FIVE JOBS
The shortest route to a full routine
A day cream earns its shelf space by doing more than moisturise. This one covers five steps in the one you already do every morning.
Illuminates
Five brighteners lift dullness and bring back radiance through the day.
Clears
Fades dark spots and colour imperfections for a more even tone.
Hydrates
All-day moisture without grease, light enough to wear under makeup.
Firms
Supports skin that looks plumper and holds its shape better.
Defends
Built-in daily UV defence against the incidental sun on your commute.
SPF 15WHAT'S INSIDE
The same five brighteners as our Glow Serum
The brightening range shares one engine. In the day cream, it works while berries rich in antioxidants shield your skin from daily stress.
MORNING TO EVENING
Holds up for the whole day
A day cream is judged at 6 PM, not at application. This one keeps its promises through commutes, screens and sun.
Apply and go
Absorbs fast with no grease, so makeup or sunscreen can follow right away.
No shine, still bright
The light texture stays fresh through lunch while the brighteners keep working.
Glow stays
Skin still feels hydrated at the end of the day. Reviewers say the glow lasts with it.
THE FEEL
Rich results, light conscience
Brightening creams have a reputation for sitting heavy on Indian summers. This one is built the other way: a light, fast-absorbing texture that works for dry, normal and combination skin alike.
- ✓Light texture, no greasy film
- ✓Sits well under makeup and sunscreen
- ✓All-day hydration in one morning layer
- ✓Vegan and paraben free
- ✓Suits dry, normal and combination skin
About the SPF: SPF 15 covers the incidental sun of an indoor day. For long hours outdoors, layer a dedicated sunscreen on top, like our Sun Defense Serum SPF 50.

Before you buy
Is this a fairness cream?
No. It does not change your natural skin colour. It evens out your tone by fading dark spots, tan and dullness, so your own complexion looks clearer and more radiant.
Is SPF 15 enough on its own?
For a mostly indoor day with a commute, yes, it covers the incidental sun. For long outdoor hours, layer a dedicated sunscreen on top. Our Sun Defense Serum SPF 50 sits invisibly over this cream.
Will it feel heavy or greasy in summer?
No. The texture is light and fast-absorbing, and reviewers specifically call out the lack of grease and shine. It suits dry, normal and combination skin.
How does it pair with the Glow Serum?
They share the same five brighteners and are made to layer. Serum first on clean skin, then the day cream to seal in hydration and add the SPF layer. Together they cover morning and night.
When will I see a difference?
Hydration and the immediate glow show up from the first use. Give the tone-evening actives 4 to 6 weeks of daily use before judging the change in dark spots and dullness.
Give your mornings one job less
Moisturiser, brightener, SPF and firming care in a single layer. Apply once at 8 AM and let it clock the full shift.
