Papaya Chandan Depigmentation Face Wash is the cleansing step of the Papaya Chandan range, built around papaya and chandan (sandalwood), with niacinamide in the formula. It is a rinse-off wash for skin that looks uneven, spotted or dull: use it morning and night, then follow with the serum and cream from the same range, which do the longer leave-on work.
FOR SKIN THAT LOOKS UNEVEN AND WANTS A CLEAN START
Uneven, spotted or dull-looking skin is usually treated with leave-on products, and that is where the Papaya Chandan serum and cream come in. The face wash has a simpler job: lift the day's oil, sunscreen and dust in a minute, rinse clean, and leave skin comfortable enough for those next steps to go on. Papaya and chandan are the two botanicals the whole range is named for.
The job of a face wash is to lift the day's oil, sunscreen and dust and rinse clean. This one is made to do that in about a minute and leave skin comfortable for the steps that follow.
Papaya is the fruit on the tube and chandan, sandalwood, is the second half of the name. The cards below say what each is known for in skincare, without turning a one-minute wash into a treatment claim.
The brand's own pack graphics call out niacinamide, the vitamin B3 derivative skincare reaches for most often. In a rinse-off product its contact time is short; it is listed here because it is in the formula, not as a promise.
This is the first step of a three-step range. The Glow Serum and Depigmentation Cream stay on the skin for hours; the wash gets the skin ready for them.
An independent laboratory report for a tested batch is linked on this page. It covers the batch's biological and chemical quality parameters. It does not measure a change in dark spots, and this page does not claim one.
75 ml for a first tube or travel, 150 ml for the bathroom shelf. Each size has a pack of two and three with a small saving per tube. Patch test before first use if your skin reacts to new products.
TWO SIGNATURE BOTANICALS · ONE WELL-KNOWN ACTIVE
Papaya is the fruit drawn on the tube and chandan, sandalwood, is the second half of the range's name; niacinamide is the active the brand's own pack graphics call out. Open each card for what the ingredient is known for. A cleanser is on the skin for about a minute, so these cards describe the ingredients, not a measured result from washing with them.
Papaya is the fruit skincare knows for papain, an enzyme associated with gentle surface exfoliation, and for its vitamin C and carotenoids. It is the botanical drawn on the tube and the first half of the range's name. This card describes the ingredient, not a measured result from a one-minute wash.
Chandan, sandalwood, is known for its cooling feel and soft woody scent, the reason it has been the classic Indian botanical for skin that looks tired or uneven. It is the second half of the range's name. The claim is about the ingredient, not a result on this product.
Niacinamide is the form of vitamin B3 most used in skincare, known in leave-on products for supporting an even-looking tone and a comfortable barrier. In a face wash it is rinsed off within a minute, so it is listed here as part of the formula rather than as a promise. The claim is about the ingredient, not a measured result on this product.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WASH AND A TREATMENT
Depigmentation is this product's name and the name of its range. The honest description of what a wash can do is narrower: clean the skin properly without leaving it tight, and set up the leave-on steps that stay on for hours.
That is why this page points you to the routine, not to a before-and-after. Cleanse with this, then the Papaya Chandan Glow Serum and Depigmentation Cream. A batch quality report from an independent laboratory is linked on this page; it tests the batch's biological and chemical parameters, not a change in dark spots.
THE ONE-MINUTE CLEANSE
A coin-sized amount is enough for the face and neck. Keep it away from the eyes, follow the current pack for frequency, and patch test before first use if your skin reacts to new products.
Use lukewarm water. Wet hands too, so the wash spreads instead of dragging.
A coin-sized amount, worked over the face and neck in small circles, away from the eyes. Follow the amount and frequency on your current pack.
Rinse until the skin feels clean, pat dry, then go on to the Glow Serum, the Depigmentation Cream and, in the day, sunscreen.

THE QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK BEFORE THEIR FIRST TUBE
It is a rinse-off face wash. Rinse it away before applying a serum or moisturiser; the leave-on steps of the Papaya Chandan range are the Glow Serum and the Depigmentation Cream.
75 ml and 150 ml tubes, each with a pack of two and three. The selector above shows each size's current availability.
No. The linked Equinox report covers biological and chemical quality parameters for the tested batch. It does not measure dark-spot reduction, and this page makes no such claim.
Morning and night is the usual rhythm for a daily face wash; follow the directions on your current pack. If skin feels tight after washing, drop to once a day.
It is made for skin that looks uneven, spotted or dull, most often oily to combination. Very dry or sensitised skin that stings with foaming washes may prefer Gold Face Wash. Patch test before first use.
On your current pack, especially if you have a known allergy. The product label takes precedence over the shortened ingredient highlights on this page.
