Products & Formulas
The Clarifying Line is Vishpha Beauty's debut four-product skincare range. It includes an Exfoliating Cleanser, a Balancing Moisturiser, a Vitamin C Serum, and Hydrogel Eye Patches. Every product is formulated with pharmaceutical logic — only clinically proven actives at effective concentrations, with full ingredient transparency.
All Vishpha products are dermatologist-reviewed and formulated with sensitive skin in mind. They are free from artificial colourants, synthetic fragrance, and unnecessary filler ingredients. If you have a known allergy or skin condition, please review the full INCI ingredient list on each product page before purchase.
As with any new active-ingredient product, we recommend a 48-hour patch test on the inner arm before full facial use.
Yes. Vishpha Beauty products are 100% cruelty-free — we never test on animals at any stage of production, and we do not sell in markets that require animal testing by law. All products in the Clarifying Line are vegan; no animal-derived ingredients are used. Certification details will be listed on product packaging upon launch.
Yes. All Vishpha Beauty products are fully compliant with EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.

Every product has a valid Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) and is notified on the EU CPNP portal before sale.

Skincare Routine
Morning:
- Step 1 — Exfoliating Cleanser: Apply to damp skin, massage for 60 seconds, rinse thoroughly.
- Step 2 — Vitamin C Serum: Apply 3–4 drops to clean, dry skin. Allow to absorb fully (60 seconds).
- Step 3 — Balancing Moisturiser: Apply a pea-sized amount and blend over face and neck.
- Step 4 — SPF 30+ (your own): Always finish with sunscreen in the morning — Vitamin C increases photosensitivity.
Evening:
- Step 1 — Exfoliating Cleanser: Double cleanse in PM if wearing SPF or makeup.
- Step 2 — Balancing Moisturiser: Apply to lock in overnight hydration.
- Step 3 (2–3× per week) — Hydrogel Eye Patches: Apply under-eye, leave for 20 minutes, remove and gently pat in residue.
Yes. The Exfoliating Cleanser is formulated at a pH level and glycolic acid concentration suitable for daily use. If you are new to acid cleansers or have very reactive skin, begin with evening-only use for two weeks before transitioning to twice daily.
Avoid combining with other high-concentration AHA/BHA products in the same routine to prevent over-exfoliation.
We recommend keeping these actives in separate routines. Use the Vitamin C Serum in the morning and any retinol product at night. Both are potent actives and combining them in a single application can cause irritation, redness, or reduced efficacy.
For general maintenance, 2–3 times per week in the evening is ideal. For intense depuffing (e.g., before an event), the patches can be used on consecutive evenings. Do not use more than once daily. Store in a cool, dry place — refrigerating them briefly before use can amplify the depuffing effect.
Yes — the Balancing Moisturiser is specifically designed with oily and combination skin in mind. The inclusion of niacinamide helps regulate sebum production, ceramides restore barrier function without heaviness, and hyaluronic acid provides lightweight hydration. The formula is non-comedogenic (it will not clog pores).

Ingredient Index
Every active ingredient used across the Clarifying Line, explained plainly. Full INCI names appear on each product label and at the bottom of every product page.
| INCI / Common Name | Function | Found In | What It Does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glycolic AcidActive | Chemical exfoliant (AHA) | Exfoliating Cleanser | Dissolves dead skin cells by breaking down the bonds between them. Smooths texture, brightens, and improves skin clarity with continued use. pH-dependent — must be formulated at 3.5–4.0 for efficacy. |
| Ascorbic AcidActive | Antioxidant / Brightener | Vitamin C Serum | Stabilised L-ascorbic acid inhibits melanin production, neutralises free radicals, and stimulates collagen synthesis. Brightens uneven tone and provides daily environmental protection. Works synergistically with Vitamin E and ferulic acid. |
| Alpha-TocopherolActive | Antioxidant / Emollient | Vitamin C Serum | Vitamin E — stabilises ascorbic acid in the formula and independently protects against UV-induced oxidative stress. Also conditions and softens skin. |
| Ferulic AcidActive | Antioxidant stabiliser | Vitamin C Serum | Plant-derived phenolic acid that significantly enhances and prolongs the stability and antioxidant activity of Vitamins C and E. Doubles photoprotective efficacy of the combination. |
| NiacinamideActive | Sebum regulator / Brightener | Balancing Moisturiser | Water-soluble form of Vitamin B3. Reduces pore appearance, regulates sebum production, inhibits melanin transfer to skin cells, strengthens the epidermal barrier, and provides anti-inflammatory benefit for blemish-prone skin. |
| Ceramide NP / AP / EOPActive | Barrier lipid | Balancing Moisturiser | Ceramides are lipids naturally found in the skin's stratum corneum. Topical application replenishes depleted barrier lipids, reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and restores skin resilience — essential for stressed, sensitised, or over-exfoliated skin. |
| Sodium HyaluronateHumectant | Humectant / Hydrator | Balancing Moisturiser · Eye Patches | Low-molecular-weight sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. Draws moisture from the environment into the skin and binds it within the epidermis. Provides immediate plumping and long-term hydration without heaviness. |
| CaffeineActive | Vasoconstrictive agent | Hydrogel Eye Patches | Topical caffeine causes temporary vasoconstriction (tightening of blood vessels), reducing the appearance of under-eye puffiness and dark circles caused by poor circulation. Penetrates well in hydrogel format. |
| PanthenolHumectant | Humectant / Skin conditioner | All products | Pro-Vitamin B5 — absorbs into skin and converts to pantothenic acid, supporting cell renewal, improving hydration retention, and soothing mild irritation. Widely used as a skin-calming agent across all skin types. |
| AllantoinActive | Soothing / Keratolytic | Exfoliating Cleanser | Soothes and calms irritated skin while gently promoting cell turnover. Used in the cleanser to counterbalance the potential irritation of glycolic acid, particularly for first-time users of exfoliating actives. |
| DimethiconeEmollient | Emollient / Film former | Balancing Moisturiser | Silicone-derived emollient that creates a breathable barrier on the skin surface, locking in moisture and providing a smooth, non-greasy texture. Non-comedogenic at the concentrations used. |
| PhenoxyethanolPreservative | Preservative | All products | EU-approved broad-spectrum preservative effective against bacteria and yeast. Used within the EU-permitted limit of 1% to ensure product safety and shelf stability. EU-compliant and widely considered the most tolerable cosmetic preservative. |
| EthylhexylglycerinPreservative | Preservative booster / Humectant | All products | Used alongside phenoxyethanol to enhance preservative efficacy. Also functions as a mild skin-conditioning agent. Together, the combination allows lower individual concentrations of each preservative. |
