Which SADHEV Product Is Right for Your Skin Type? The Complete Regimen Guide

Every skin type has a specific set of needs. A dry skin regimen is fundamentally different from an oily skin regimen. Sensitive skin requires formulations chosen for their gentleness above all else. Mature skin needs targeted actives that address structural changes as well as surface concerns.

This guide gives you the exact SADHEV regimen for your skin type — morning, night, body and hair — with specific product recommendations and the reasoning behind each one. Follow the regimen for your skin type and give it eight weeks of consistency before assessing results.

“The right regimen is not the most complex one. It is the one that addresses your skin's actual needs, in the correct sequence, with products formulated to work together.”

 

Dry Skin — Nourish, Hydrate, Protect

Dry skin loses moisture faster than it can produce it. The regimen for dry skin prioritises deep hydration, moisture barrier reinforcement and nourishment at both surface and tissue level. Every step is chosen to add moisture, seal it in and prevent its loss.

 

MORNING REGIMEN

 

Step	SADHEV Product	Frequency
Cleanser	Ayurvedic Facial Cleanser for Dry Skin	Daily
Toner	Rose Water	Daily
Treatment	Rosehip & Hyaluronic Acid Serum	Daily
Moisturiser	Ayurvedic Hydrating Day Cream	Daily
Sunscreen	Sunscreen Gel SPF 50 PA+++	Daily
Exfoliation	Ayurvedic Face Scrub	Twice a week

 

The Rosehip & Hyaluronic Acid Serum is the treatment step that addresses dry skin's core need — deep hydration and plumpness that a day cream alone cannot provide. Hyaluronic acid draws moisture to the skin from within and retains it. Rosehip oil nourishes the skin tissue with essential fatty acids that strengthen the lipid barrier. Applied after toning and before the day cream, it forms the hydration layer that the cream then seals in.

 

NIGHT REGIMEN

 

Step	SADHEV Product	Frequency
Cleanser	Ayurvedic Facial Cleanser for Dry Skin	Daily
Toner	Rose Water	Daily
Night oil	Kumkumadi Tailam	Daily

 

Kumkumadi Tailam is the night treatment for dry skin. Oil-based preparations penetrate the lipid layer of dry skin and deliver nourishment to the deeper tissue where surface moisturisers cannot reach. Three to five drops pressed gently into clean, toned skin works overnight with the skin's natural repair cycle. Dry skin wakes significantly more nourished and plump with consistent nightly use.

 

BODY CARE

 

Step	SADHEV Product	Frequency
Body wash	Ayurvedic Body Wash Hydrating — Ashwagandha, Oudh & Pomegranate	Daily
Body moisturiser	Herbal Body Lotion	Daily
Body exfoliation	Sea Salt Body Scrub	Twice a week

 

The Ashwagandha, Oudh & Pomegranate body wash is chosen for dry skin because of its deeply hydrating formulation. Ashwagandha locks in moisture. Oudh provides rich, lasting fragrance and skin conditioning. Applied to wet skin and rinsed off, it cleanse without the stripping that dries skin further. Follow immediately with the Herbal Body Lotion while skin is still slightly damp for maximum absorption.

 

Oily Skin — Balance, Clarify, Hydrate

Oily skin produces excess sebum — but excess oil does not mean excess hydration. Oily skin still needs moisture. The regimen for oily skin uses lightweight formulations that hydrate without heaviness, balance sebum production rather than strip it, and keep pores clear without over-drying the skin.

 

MORNING REGIMEN

 

Step	SADHEV Product	Frequency
Cleanser	Ayurvedic Facial Cleanser for Oily Skin	Daily
Toner	Rose Water	Daily
Moisturiser	Aloe Vera & Saffron Gel with Kumkumadi Tailam	Daily
Sunscreen	Sunscreen Gel SPF 50 PA+++	Daily
Exfoliation	Ayurvedic Face Scrub	Twice a week

 

Aloe Vera & Saffron Gel with Kumkumadi Tailam is ideal for oily skin. Its gel texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without heaviness or greasiness. Aloe vera hydrates without clogging pores. Saffron provides brightening and anti-inflammatory action that reduces the redness associated with oily, acne-prone skin. This is not an oil product despite its name — it is a gel formulation that gives oily skin the moisture it genuinely needs.

 

NIGHT REGIMEN

 

Step	SADHEV Product	Frequency
Cleanser	Ayurvedic Facial Cleanser for Oily Skin	Daily
Toner	Rose Water	Daily
Night cream	Ayurvedic Rejuvenating Night Cream	Daily

 

Oily skin needs a night cream because oil and hydration are different things. The Ayurvedic Rejuvenating Night Cream is lightweight enough for oily skin while providing the moisture and nourishment the skin needs to repair overnight. Without overnight hydration, oily skin compensates by producing more sebum the following day, worsening the very oiliness it is trying to manage.

 

BODY CARE

 

Step	SADHEV Product	Frequency
Body cleanser	Orange & Cinnamon Bathing Bar	Daily
Body moisturiser	Herbal Body Lotion	Daily
Body exfoliation	Sea Salt Body Scrub	Twice a week

 

The Orange & Cinnamon Bathing Bar is specifically recommended for oily skin. Cinnamon has natural clarifying properties that help control excess sebum on the body. Orange provides brightening and astringent action that reduces the shine associated with oily skin. A targeted choice for a skin type that needs cleansing rather than nourishing as its primary body care function.

 

Combination Skin — Balance Without Compromise

Combination skin has an oily T-zone and drier cheeks. The regimen for combination skin must address both simultaneously — controlling oiliness without drying the cheeks, and hydrating the drier areas without adding heaviness to the T-zone. The products chosen here work for both conditions at the same time.

 

MORNING REGIMEN

 

Step	SADHEV Product	Frequency
Cleanser	Ayurvedic Facial Cleanser for Combination Skin	Daily
Toner	Ayurvedic Pore Tightening Toner	Daily
Treatment	Ayurvedic Vitamin C Serum	Daily
Moisturiser	Aloe Vera & Saffron Gel with Kumkumadi Tailam	Daily
Sunscreen	Sunscreen Gel SPF 50 PA+++	Daily
Exfoliation	Ayurvedic Face Scrub	Twice a week

 

The Pore Tightening Toner is the ideal toner for combination skin because it addresses the pore congestion and oiliness of the T-zone without over-drying the drier areas of the face. Its astringent action is balanced and appropriate for both zones simultaneously.

The Ayurvedic Vitamin C Serum in the morning provides the brightening and antioxidant protection that combination skin benefits from — particularly for the uneven skin tone that oily zones and drier zones can produce. Applied after toning and before the gel moisturiser, it delivers consistent coverage across both skin zones.

 

NIGHT REGIMEN

 

Step	SADHEV Product	Frequency
Cleanser	Ayurvedic Facial Cleanser for Combination Skin	Daily
Toner	Ayurvedic Pore Tightening Toner	Daily
Night cream	Ayurvedic Rejuvenating Night Cream	Daily

 

 

BODY CARE

 

Step	SADHEV Product	Frequency
Body cleanser	Sandal & Saffron Bathing Bar	Daily
Body moisturiser	Herbal Body Lotion	Daily
Body exfoliation	Sea Salt Body Scrub	Twice a week

 

The Sandal & Saffron Bathing Bar is the recommendation for combination skin. Sandalwood has natural balancing properties — neither too stripping nor too nourishing — that suit a skin type that presents different needs across different body areas. Saffron adds brightening and anti-inflammatory action that benefits all skin types.

 

Sensitive Skin — Gentle, Calming, Non-Irritant

Sensitive skin reacts to synthetic fragrances, sulphates, alcohol and harsh surfactants. The regimen for sensitive skin is built entirely on formulations that have been specifically chosen for their mildness and their documented compatibility with reactive skin. Every product is free from the common irritants that trigger sensitivity.

 

MORNING REGIMEN

 

Step	SADHEV Product	Frequency
Cleanser	Ayurvedic Facial Cleanser for Sensitive Skin	Daily
Toner	Ayurvedic Pore Tightening Toner	Daily
Moisturiser	Aloe Vera & Saffron Gel with Kumkumadi Tailam	Daily
Sunscreen	Sunscreen Gel SPF 50 PA+++	Daily
Exfoliation	Ayurvedic Face Scrub	Twice a week

 

SADHEV's Ayurvedic Facial Cleanser for Sensitive Skin is formulated with a surfactant that has a Zein value of 78.23. The Zein value is the industry standard measure of a surfactant's irritancy. In the Zein scale, anything below 200 is classified as a non-irritant. Anything between 200 and 400 is a moderate irritant. Anything above 400 is a strong irritant — and sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), the most common shampoo and cleanser surfactant, scores above 500. SADHEV's sensitive skin cleanser scores 78.23. This is not a marketing claim. It is a verified R&D measurement, approved by the European Union standard. For sensitive skin, this level of gentleness is not a luxury. It is a requirement.

 

NIGHT REGIMEN

 

Step	SADHEV Product	Frequency

Moisturiser	Aloe Vera & Saffron Gel with Kumkumadi Tailam	Daily

 

 

BODY CARE

 

Step	SADHEV Product	Frequency
Body cleanser	Coconut Shower Oil	Daily
Body moisturiser	Herbal Body Lotion	Daily
Body exfoliation	Sea Salt Body Scrub	Twice a week

 

The Coconut Shower Oil is the body cleanser of choice for sensitive skin. Its oil-based cleansing mechanism does not use synthetic surfactants — it cleanses through emulsification, dissolving impurities without penetrating or disrupting the skin barrier. Sensitive skin that has been managed with conventional body washes typically shows significant improvement in reactivity and comfort within two to four weeks of switching to the Coconut Shower Oil.

 

Mature and Ageing Skin — Restore, Firm, Protect

Mature skin faces three simultaneous challenges: declining collagen production, increased moisture loss through a thinning skin barrier, and accumulated UV damage that presents as pigmentation and uneven tone. The regimen for mature skin addresses all three simultaneously with targeted actives in the correct sequence.

 

MORNING REGIMEN

 

Step	SADHEV Product	Frequency
Cleanser	Ayurvedic Facial Cleanser for Dry Skin	Daily
Toner	Rose Water	Daily
Treatment	Ayurvedic Anti-Ageing Face Serum	Daily
Moisturiser	Ayurvedic Anti-Ageing Face Cream	Daily
Sunscreen	Sunscreen Gel SPF 50 PA+++	Daily
Exfoliation	Ayurvedic Face Scrub	Twice a week

 

The Anti-Ageing Face Serum with Bakuchiol and naturally derived retinol is the treatment step for mature skin in both morning and night routines. Bakuchiol delivers the collagen-stimulating and cell-turnover benefits of retinol without photosensitivity — meaning it can safely be used in the morning without creating UV sensitivity. Applied after toning, before the cream and sunscreen, it works consistently through the day.

 

NIGHT REGIMEN

 

Step	SADHEV Product	Frequency
Cleanser	Ayurvedic Facial Cleanser for Dry Skin	Daily
Toner	Rose Water	Daily
Treatment	Ayurvedic Anti-Ageing Face Serum	Daily
Cream	Ayurvedic Anti-Ageing Face Cream	Daily
Night oil	Kumkumadi Tailam	Daily

 

Kumkumadi Tailam is added as the final night step for mature skin, applied after the anti-ageing cream has absorbed. The combination of Bakuchiol serum, Anti-Ageing Cream and Kumkumadi Tailam at night provides the most comprehensive Ayurvedic anti-ageing treatment available in the SADHEV range. Each product works at a different depth and through a different mechanism — the serum at the cellular level, the cream at the epidermal barrier, the tailam in the deeper tissue layers.

Hair Care — Three Regimens for Three Concerns

SADHEV's hair care portfolio is built around three distinct concerns. Choosing the right regimen depends on whether your hair fall and scalp concern is at a normal level — manageable with the right foundational care — or at an elevated level requiring a targeted formulation.

 

For Normal Hair Fall, Dryness and General Scalp Care

Step	SADHEV Product	Frequency
Pre-wash oil	Virgin Coconut Oil — apply 30 min before washing	Twice a week
Shampoo	Ayurvedic Shampoo	As needed
Conditioner	Ayurvedic Conditioner	After every wash
Leave-in serum	Anti-Frizz Leave-In Hair Serum	After every wash (dry or frizzy hair)

 

SADHEV's Ayurvedic Shampoo with bhringraj, amla, hibiscus, curry leaves and reetha in a sulphate-free formula addresses normal hair fall, scalp dryness, mild dandruff and general hair health simultaneously. It is the foundational hair care product — appropriate for anyone whose hair concerns are at a manageable level and who wants a clean, botanical alternative to conventional shampoo.

 

For Excess Hair Fall

Step	SADHEV Product	Frequency
Pre-wash oil	Anti-Hair Fall Oil — apply 30 min before washing	Twice a week
Shampoo	Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo	As needed
Conditioner	Anti-Hair Fall Conditioner	After every wash

 

When hair fall is at an elevated level — significantly more shedding than usual, visible thinning or scalp sensitivity — the dedicated Anti-Hair Fall range is the recommendation. The Anti-Hair Fall Oil, Shampoo and Conditioner are formulated with a targeted concentration of the herbs most documented for follicular stimulation and hair fall reduction, used as a complete system across the three steps.

 

For Excess Dandruff

Step	SADHEV Product	Frequency
Pre-wash oil	Anti-Dandruff Oil — apply 30 min before washing	Twice a week
Shampoo	Anti-Dandruff Shampoo	As needed
Conditioner	Anti-Dandruff Conditioner	After every wash

 

For persistent, elevated dandruff — significant flaking, scalp itching or visible buildup that the Ayurvedic Shampoo alone does not adequately address — the Anti-Dandruff range provides targeted scalp-balancing formulations across oil, shampoo and conditioner. Used as a complete system, the three products work on the scalp microbiome and sebum balance that drive dandruff at its source.
