Vendors such as The Nature's Co. offer specialized face care products such as Sandalwood-Turmeric Anti Blemish Cream, Fucus Anti-Ageing Cream, Garlic Anti-Acne Cream, and Asiatic Centella Anti Wrinkle Cream that offer solutions for specific skin types and textures. Procter & Gamble offers a range of face creams for diverse applications such as skin nourishment, wrinkle treatment, removal of dark circles and blemishes, moisturizing and oil removal, and skin whitening under its brand, Olay. Further, willingness to spend on specialized beauty care products, especially in India, has encouraged vendors to introduce specialized face creams as premium products. This popularity of premium specialized face creams is expected to boost the market during the forecast period. In addition to that, rising emphasis on product personalization and customization is the key trend influencing the face cream market's growth. Many manufacturers emphasize product personalization and customization to differentiate their face cream products. These vendors maintain an interactive relationship with customers through their websites and offline feedback mechanisms, and design products specific to consumer requirements. Owing to the rapid increase in the availability of face cream products in India, vendors are expected to continue to adopt product personalization techniques to gain a competitive advantage. Moreover, the rising number of working women is leading to higher demand for personal care products in India. The emergence of online brands such as Nykaa and Purplle along with increasing internet users is resulting in the growing presence of online retail in the country’s skin care market. Additionally, rising consumer demand for skin care products are pushing manufacturers to come up with new product launches, thereby further propelling growth in the Indian skin care market. Skin whitening is a controversial topic the world over, in some Asian cultures it is even a norm, but in India, while it is big business for brands, the context behind the idolization of fairness remains fraught with tension. India's obsession with fair skin can be traced back to British rule when supremacy, or rule, could be assumed on the basis of skin color. From that point on, the idea that fairness meant higher worth prevailed, and it continued into Bollywood's (India's film industry's) influence. Currently, there are numerous skin whitening creams available in India, not only for women but for men too.
