After listening to its teen community, beauty brand indu is stepping away from makeup to focus on what it does best—simple, effective, science-led skincare for teens. indu's community trusts the brand for products that are vegan, cruelty-free, non-comedogenic, dermatologically tested, and reviewed and approved by indu’s global teen advisory board.
With a pared-back product range, indu will be better able to focus on solutions like its Ultimate Universal Skincare Set, featuring a cream cleanser, a soft-cream moisturizer and a hydrating and nourishing tonic milk for well-balanced skin.
As part of this transition, the teen beauty brand launched its largest sale to date, with all makeup products priced at £5 for a limited time online.
