Consumption of social content is leading to the shaping of genuinely good skincare categories. For instance, active ingredients are not something new, but are now getting democratised. Using efficacious active ingredients for skincare and for problem solution and skincare has existed for decades. What was not done earlier is marketing these directly to the consumer. Globally, this realisation came almost 20 years back when brands started to take it directly to consumers. We are seeing this now in India as well.
