Hyphen Double Shot Radiance Lift Face Serum 50 ml pump bottle showing a golden oil layer above a clear water layer Shake-Before-Use Glow Serum
Hyphen serum

Double Shot Radiance Lift Face Serum

A well-built niacinamide serum wearing a face-oil's coat. The 5% niacinamide and polyglutamic acid are doing the real brightening and hydrating, the oil layer makes it comfortable, and the shake ritual is genuinely fun. Ignore the vitamin C and retinol-alternative framing on the label and it is a sensible, gentle daily glow step.

Hyphen Matte Max Velvet Touch Sunscreen SPF 70+ PA++++ 30 g lime-green tube on cream swatches Primer-Finish Matte SPF
Hyphen sunscreen

Matte Max Velvet Touch Sunscreen SPF 70+ PA++++

A genuinely effective matte, primer-style sunscreen for oily skin, built on a water-free silicone base that sets velvety and holds up to sweat. The pack's 'new generation' filters are actually the last two ingredients, so this relies mainly on octinoxate, zinc oxide and salicylates. For oily skin wanting a matte, makeup-ready finish, it works; sensitive and dry skin should look elsewhere.

Hyphen Golden Hour Glow Serum lime-green 30ml pump bottle Celebrity Brand, Solid Actives
Hyphen serum

Golden Hour Glow Serum 5% Niacinamide, 1% Alpha Arbutin

A celebrity-launched serum with a refreshingly sensible formula: 5% niacinamide and 1% alpha arbutin, backed by ceramides and humectants, fragrance-free and inexpensive in India. It brightens and evens tone steadily. The 25% Kakadu plum and the two-week glow claims are mostly marketing, and it is hard to buy outside India.

Hyphen All I Need Sunscreen SPF 50 PA++++ 50 ml lime-green tube with cream swatch Moisturising New-Gen Filter SPF
Hyphen sunscreen

All I Need Sunscreen SPF 50 PA++++

A genuinely well-engineered everyday sunscreen at a mass-market price. Four modern, photostable European filters plus one older one give strong broad-spectrum protection, and a full ceramide-cholesterol set makes it double as a light moisturiser. Oily skin may want something more matte, and the SPF figures are brand-tested, but for normal and dry skin this is an easy daily choice.

Hyphen Ultra Light Water Sunscreen SPF 50 PA++++ 50 ml lime-green squeeze bottle Watery SPF for Oily Summers
Hyphen sunscreen

Ultra Light Water Sunscreen SPF 50 PA++++

The sunscreen oily skin keeps asking for: a thin, cool fluid that evaporates to almost nothing, with Tinosorb M, Uvinul A Plus and Uvinul T 150 doing serious broad-spectrum work beside octinoxate. Hyaluronic acid and niacinamide make it comfortable enough to skip a moisturiser. Dry skin will want more, and the soothing and antioxidant percentages are generous marketing, but for oily summers it is a standout.

Hyphen Vitamin Infused Peptide Lip Balm in vanilla, a lime-green 10g squeeze tube beside a clear swatch of the gloss Gloss-Finish Peptide Balm
Hyphen lip care

Vitamin Infused Peptide Lip Balm

A genuinely pleasant glossy balm that keeps lips soft for hours, built on a sensible squalane, shea and polyisobutene base. The peptides are more headline than function in a product you wipe and eat off all day, and the vanilla flavouring rules it out for anyone whose lips dislike flavoured products, but as an everyday gloss-balm hybrid it delivers.

Hyphen Barrier Care Cream for oily and combination skin, 50 ml lime-green pump bottle with gel cream swatches Calm-Down Gel Cream for Oily Skin
Hyphen moisturizer

Barrier Repair Moisturizer with 2% Ceramide-Peptide Complex For Oily Skin

A calm, sensible gel cream that gives oily skin something it rarely gets: barrier lipids without the weight. Ceramides, a pseudo-ceramide, soothing oat and chamomile and a light aloe base make it ideal for oily skin that has been over-treated. The peptide angle is a minor bonus, not a reason to buy, but as an oily-skin barrier moisturiser it earns its place.

Hyphen Hydrating Ceramide Toner-Essence 100 ml pink bottle with white milky essence dripping down the side Toner That Thinks It's a Lotion
Hyphen toner

Ceramides Milky Toner Essence with 5% Rice Water Blend

Call it a toner and you undersell it; call it a ceramide product and you oversell it. This is a gentle, fragrance-free, lotion-like essence whose real strength is a dense humectant and NMF base inside a proper emulsion. For dry or tight-after-cleansing skin it is an easy, comfortable win; oily skin in heat may find it a layer too many.

Hyphen cleanser

Oil Control & Exfoliating Cleanser with 2% AHA BHA

A thoughtfully gentle acid wash for oily and combination skin. Mild glucoside surfactants, a shared 2% salicylic-glycolic-lactic blend and moisturiser-style humectants give a clean, matte finish without the tightness that usually follows. The undeclared acid split keeps it from being a serious acne treatment, but as an everyday oily-skin cleanser at this price, it is very good.

10% Fermented Rice Water Cleanser - 1% Vit C & 0.5% Glycolic Acid

A genuinely gentle, fragrance-free daily wash dressed up as a brightening treatment. The glucoside base is the star, leaving skin clean and comfortable twice a day; the vitamin C, glycolic acid and rice water simply rinse away before they can touch a dark spot. Buy it as a good cleanser, not as a pigment fix.

Hyphen Moisturizing Creamy Cleanser 100 ml lime-green flip-top bottle on a white background Gentle Dry-Skin Daily Wash
Hyphen cleanser

Moisturizing Cream Cleanser with Ceramides for Dry Skin

A quietly excellent dry-skin cleanser whose real achievement is restraint. Four mild surfactants, oat, polyglutamic acid and a ceramide-lecithin pairing clean without leaving that familiar post-wash tightness, and there is no fragrance to complicate it. The barrier-repair language oversells what a rinse-off can do, but as a daily wash for dry or sensitive skin, it does exactly what it should.

2% Cica Exosomes Oil-Free Moisturizer

Strip away the exosome storytelling and the 100-hour hydration claim, and what remains is genuinely good: a featherweight, oil-free silicone gel with 5% niacinamide and 5% panthenol placed right at the top of the list. For oily and acne-prone skin that wants a moisturiser that works on shine and marks without adding weight, it is one of the stronger budget options.
