Which Face Serum Is Best for Indian Skin?

Indian skin is uniquely beautiful — rich in melanin, diverse in tones, and exposed to a wide range of climates from dry winters to humid monsoons. But with that beauty comes specific skincare challenges: pigmentation, tanning, acne, oiliness, and pollution-related dullness.

That’s where a well-formulated face serum comes in — especially one designed for Indian skin like those offered by Clariv.

In this blog, we’ll help you understand what makes a great face serum for Indian skin, which ingredients to look for, and how to pick the right formula for your skin type.

Why Indian Skin Needs Specialized Serums

Indian skin tends to:

• Tan and pigment easily due to high melanin content

• Be more reactive to UV rays and pollution

• Require hydration without heaviness due to humid weather

• Experience frequent acne, dark spots, and uneven tone

Generic products don't always address these needs — but Clariv serums are specifically formulated to suit Indian skin and its environment.
