01.The Clinical Study

124 people. 12 weeks. Independently monitored.

We commissioned an independent dermatologist panel to run a 12-week, 124-participant trial across Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore. Participants were instructed to use Underlying Dermiqué SPF 50+ as their sole sun protection. Photographs were taken under controlled lighting at week 0, 4, 8, and 12.

Lead dermatologists graded acne severity, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, sebum production, and barrier integrity at each visit using the IGA-Acne and Hi-Score scales. Full study available upon request.

04.Your Journey

Your skin in 12 weeks.

A typical timeline based on 15,000+ verified customers. Yours may move faster, slower, or in a different rhythm — that's normal.

Day 1The Hello

The first hello.

No greasy feeling. No white cast. The application feels light, weightless — like skin remembering itself.

Week 1The Pause

Cautious optimism.

First week without new breakouts. You catch yourself touching your face less. The mirror feels neutral instead of accusatory.

Week 4The Calm

Visible calm.

Old marks fading. Inflammation down 75%. Friends ask what changed. You stop reaching for foundation by reflex.

Week 12The Trust

Skin you trust.

Clear, smooth, calm. Lasting results. You stop thinking about your skin so much — which is the whole point.

Finally something that doesn't betray me

Eight years of cystic acne. Spent over ₹50K on derm visits. This is the only sunscreen that hasn't triggered a flare. Three weeks in and my skin feels like it's exhaling.

My husband noticed before I did

"You look different — happier?" That was week three. I hadn't told him I was using anything new. That's when I knew it was working.

Kavya, PuneVerified

Photographs like skin again

Mineral SPFs make me look gray on Zoom. This blends into Indian skin like it was made for it — because it was. Wedding photos finally look like me.

Riya, MumbaiVerified

I stopped checking the mirror

That sounds dramatic but if you know, you know. I used to check 20 times a day to see what was forming. Now I just… don't. Six weeks in.

Tara, DelhiVerified

Refund test passed (didn't need it)

I emailed asking what the refund process is — got a real reply in 6 minutes from a real person who wasn't trying to talk me out of it. Ended up not refunding because it was working.

Naveen, ChennaiVerified

Postpartum skin recovery

Nothing felt safe to use while breastfeeding. This was the first thing my dermatologist green-lit. Worth every rupee for that alone.

Shruti, HyderabadVerified

13 years of acne, 12 weeks of clear

I'm not crying, you're crying. This is the longest stretch of clear skin I've had since I was 11.

Arjun, BangaloreVerified

Took a few weeks but worth it

Honest review: weeks 1–2 felt nothing special. Around week 3, oil dropped massively. By week 6, no new active acne. Patience required but it works.

Diya, KolkataVerified

The texture is everything

I have very oily skin and EVERY sunscreen pills under makeup. This one doesn't. I don't know how. I don't ask questions anymore.
