Product details

Dr. Fundamental's Glass Skin serum stacks three actives in one bottle: 2% Salicylic Acid, 5% Niacinamide and 5% Azelaic Acid. It is aimed at acne-prone skin that also wants a clearer, more even look, so it suits users ready for a stronger multi-active formula.

Three actives, one bottle: that is the pitch behind this Dr. Fundamental serum. The title lists 2% Salicylic Acid, 5% Niacinamide and 5% Azelaic Acid, with an anti-acne and glass-skin focus. For someone who has already tried a basic niacinamide serum and wants something more targeted, a trio like this is a logical next step.

Each ingredient brings a different strength. Salicylic acid exfoliates inside the pore and helps loosen clogs that cause blackheads and whiteheads. Niacinamide supports the barrier and helps balance the look of oiliness. Azelaic acid is valued for helping with the look of redness, bumps and uneven tone, and is often considered suitable for sensitive, acne-prone skin, though everyone reacts differently.

Who benefits most? Typically someone with a mix of concerns: a few active pimples on the chin, clogged pores on the nose, and redness or marks on the cheeks. Rather than buying three products and wondering which to apply first, the formula hands you a pre-set combination. Results with these ingredients build over weeks, so give the serum at least six to eight weeks of steady use, and take a photo in the same light at the start to compare honestly.

Because it contains an exfoliating acid, this serum demands a little care. Introduce it slowly, two or three evenings a week, and watch for dryness, especially in winter or if you sit in air-conditioning all day. During humid months, oily skin may tolerate more frequent use. Keep your other products plain while starting out: gentle cleanser, simple moisturiser and broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Multi-active serums save time and money compared with buying three separate bottles, but they also make it harder to pinpoint which ingredient is causing a reaction. If you have very sensitive skin or eczema, a single-active product may be a safer start. Avoid stacking this with retinoids, benzoyl peroxide or other acid toners on the same night without professional advice.

The title does not state the bottle size, so check the listing for volume, expiry and the full ingredient list. It was listed around ₹494 at the time of writing against an MRP of ₹699. Patch test before use. If your acne is cystic, painful or you are pregnant, consult a dermatologist before adding salicylic acid products.
