A First in India: Dermatologist Dr. Jagdish Sakhiya Launches Exclusive Facial Kit Formulated for Indian Skin
The ‘SSC Insta Glow Medi-Facial’ has been developed based on Dr. Sakhiya’s experience of treating more than six lakh patients over a career spanning nearly 30 years
Surat (Gujarat) [India], September 10: Dermatologist Dr. Jagdish Sakhiya has launched an exclusive facial kit formulated specifically for Indian skin, marking what Sakhiya Skin Clinic describes as the first such product in India developed by a dermatologist. The SSC Insta Glow Medi-Facial has been formulated based on Dr. Sakhiya’s experience of treating more than six lakh patients during a career spanning nearly 30 years.
The professional medi-facial was launched on Wednesday for both men and women. It is designed to cleanse, exfoliate, brighten and hydrate the skin, helping provide an instant glow and a smoother-looking complexion.
The launch comes against the backdrop of India’s large facial-care market. According to estimates by Sakhiya Skin Clinic, around 2.5 to 3 crore facials are performed at beauty parlours, 25 to 30 lakh at clinics, and another 5 to 10 lakh at homes every month across the country. Despite the size of the market, there has been limited availability of facial kits developed by dermatologists specifically for Indian skin.
The SSC Insta Glow Medi-Facial has been developed to address this gap. The treatment follows a four-step protocol consisting of a cleanser, exfoliator, brightener and hydrator. Its active ingredients include glycolic acid, azelaic acid, salicylic acid, mandelic acid, lactic acid, alpha arbutin, Lumiflora Peony Extract and Dermawhite WF.
These ingredients help remove dead skin and surface build-up, improve skin texture, support a brighter and more even-looking complexion, and enhance skin smoothness and hydration. According to Dr. Sakhiya, the formulation also includes select ingredients sourced from the US.
Dr. Jagdish Sakhiya, Chief Dermatologist at Sakhiya Skin Clinic, said: “Based on nearly 30 years of experience in dermatology and treating more than six lakh patients for skin-related concerns, we developed SSC Insta Glow Medi-Facial keeping the needs of Indian skin in mind. Despite the large facial market in the country, there has been limited availability of an exclusive facial kit formulated by a dermatologist specifically for Indian skin. We have launched this medi-facial to bridge that gap and offer a professional skincare solution developed around these needs.”
The SSC Insta Glow Medi-Facial is available exclusively through Sakhiya Skin Clinic from September 9. The product has a maximum retail price (MRP) of ₹4,999, with a limited-period introductory offer of 50% off.

Contemporary Living Spaces Get a Fresh Update with Pepperfry Sofa Sets
New Delhi [India], September 14: The living room is no longer treated as a space that needs to follow one fixed décor formula. Homes today often bring together work, relaxation, conversation and entertainment in the same room, making furniture choices more considered than ever.
Responding to this shift, Pepperfry continues to offer sofa sets across contemporary, modern and classic design directions, giving homeowners more flexibility to create seating arrangements that suit both their space and everyday routine.
Furniture That Works with Modern Homes
A sofa can influence how a living room looks, but its role goes well beyond appearance. In compact apartments, the right size can help maintain smooth movement. In larger rooms, a broader seating arrangement can help anchor the space and make it feel more complete.
Pepperfry’s current selection spans compact two-seater options, three-seater designs and larger configurations, along with different upholstery and frame choices.
This variety allows shoppers to think about practical details before settling on a design. Room dimensions, seating needs, preferred materials and the existing colour palette can all shape which sofa set feels appropriate. Instead of treating the purchase as a purely decorative decision, buyers can consider how they will use the furniture throughout the week.
It also gives households room to consider future needs, such as hosting guests more often, creating an informal family corner, or simply keeping the room visually open.
Design Choices Are Becoming More Personal
Contemporary interiors increasingly reflect individual preferences rather than a single dominant trend. Some homes work well with clean lines and neutral tones, while others benefit from stronger colours, textured upholstery or wooden elements.
The sofa sets listed on Pepperfry reflect this range through styles that include contemporary, modern, mid-century, Lawson, Chesterfield and traditional influences.
Material also changes the character of a room. Fabric can bring softness, velvet can add visual richness, leatherette can create a sharper finish, and wooden frames can introduce warmth.
These options make it easier for homeowners to build a living room around the mood they want rather than adapting their preferences to a limited furniture selection.
Online Browsing Makes Comparison Simpler
Furniture shopping often begins with questions about size, colour, material and price. For customers planning to buy a sofa set online, being able to compare these details before making a decision can make the process more organised.
Pepperfry’s sofa category allows shoppers to browse across different styles and product types, helping them narrow down options that are more relevant to their homes.
Looking for a sofa set online can also encourage more deliberate planning. A buyer can check measurements against the available floor area, consider whether a lighter or darker tone fits the room, and review different seating configurations before moving ahead. This is particularly useful in homes where every piece of furniture needs to serve a clear purpose.
Comfort Remains Central to the Living Room
Design may attract attention first, but comfort usually determines how often a sofa is actually used. Living rooms are everyday spaces where people read, watch television, spend time with family or simply unwind. Seating therefore needs to complement real routines rather than work only as a visual centrepiece.
Pepperfry’s range brings together different seating capacities, upholstery types and design forms, allowing customers to weigh comfort alongside aesthetics. A deeper seat may suit relaxed lounging, while a more structured profile may work better in a formal living area. The most suitable choice ultimately depends on how the household uses the room.
Creating a More Cohesive Living Space
A well-chosen sofa can also make the rest of the room easier to plan. Once you establish its scale, colour and style, you can make decisions around rugs, coffee tables, side tables, lighting and cushions more naturally. This creates a connected look without requiring every element to match exactly.
As houses become more expressive and multifunctional, furniture is now being asked to strike the right balance between design, comfort and functionality. With its diverse range of sofas, Pepperfry allows shoppers to experiment with different combinations, catering to different layouts and tastes. This leads to a more considered way of furnishing, with the sitting room transforming to suit daily requirements without compromising on the current, comfortable and individual style.
