Mamaearth Vitamin C Night Cream (50gm)

Mamaearth Vitamin C Night Cream is a lightweight brightening and nourishing overnight face cream from Mamaearth (Honasa Consumer Ltd., Gurugram, India) — Asia’s first MadeSafe-certified skincare brand, founded in 2016 by Varun and Ghazal Alagh. Designed to work with the skin’s natural overnight repair cycle, this dermatologically tested cream delivers a multi-action brightening, hydrating and barrier-strengthening treatment across two hero active pathways: stable Vitamin C for radiance and spot reduction, and Gotu Kola for collagen support and skin renewal. The Vitamin C is delivered as Ascorbyl Glucoside — a stable, water-soluble ester of Vitamin C and glucose that offers excellent formula stability at neutral pH (eliminating the oxidation and instability problems of pure Ascorbic Acid), while converting to free Vitamin C within the skin to inhibit tyrosinase enzyme activity, suppress melanin production, neutralise free radicals and stimulate collagen synthesis — resulting in brightened complexion, faded dark spots and improved skin evenness over time. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) provides a powerful brightening synergy with Ascorbyl Glucoside: it inhibits melanosome transfer from melanocytes to skin cells through a separate, complementary pathway to Vitamin C, amplifying dark spot reduction and evening skin tone. It also strengthens the ceramide-based skin barrier, regulates sebum production and reduces inflammation. Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Extract — a revered Ayurvedic botanical — is rich in triterpenoid saponins (asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid, madecassic acid) that stimulate collagen and fibronectin synthesis, support dermal repair and renewal, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory soothing benefits overnight. Saccharide Isomerate is a sophisticated skin-identical biomimetic ingredient — a carbohydrate complex derived from corn glucose that precisely mimics the Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF) of healthy skin. It binds to keratin in the stratum corneum and provides long-lasting, reservoir-type hydration by attracting and retaining water molecules throughout the night, preventing transepidermal water loss and restoring a soft, supple skin texture. Glycerin provides foundational humectant hydration. 1,3 Butylene Glycol acts as an additional humectant, penetration enhancer and solvent. Hydroxyethyl Urea is a gentle moisturising agent that softens and conditions the skin without irritation. Polyglyceryl-3 Cetyl Ether functions as the emulsifier providing the formula’s light, non-greasy cream texture. Black Oats Extract (Avena Sativa) delivers beta-glucan, a powerful skin-calming polysaccharide with clinically proven anti-inflammatory and barrier-repairing properties that soothes any overnight sensitivity and supports skin recovery. Soya Bean (Glycine Soja) Extract provides skin-brightening soybean protease inhibitors (STI and BBI) that block melanosome transfer, along with antioxidant isoflavones that protect against oxidative damage. Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vinylpyrrolidone Copolymer and Xanthan Gum provide the formula’s lightweight gel-cream consistency and texture stability. Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate is a premium polymer-bound antioxidant stabiliser that protects the active ingredients — particularly Ascorbyl Glucoside — from oxidative degradation throughout the product’s shelf life. Free from sulfates, parabens, SLS, petroleum, mineral oil, silicones, artificial preservatives and colorants. Dermatologically tested. Suitable for all skin types. Made in India.
