Detailed description: 
      The potential subjects will be screened as per the inclusion & exclusion criteria only after
      obtaining written informed consent from the subjects. This is a single-day, single-visit
      study.

      Subjects will be pre-screened by the screening department of NovoBliss Research. Subjects
      will be called on the telephone by the recruiting department prior to the enrolment visit.
      They will be asked a series of questions that are provided on the Screener Form (an example
      template is provided in Appendix III). This form will be saved electronically, and if
      subjects are eligible for the study as determined by the responses given on the Screener
      Form, subjects may be asked to participate in the enrolment visit. Subjects will be told
      during screening (prior to enrolment) not to wear any facial make-up on the study visit day.
      It is also recommended that the subjects are told to bring a hair tie to pull their hair back
      if desired during the study.

      Assessment of efficacy parameters before application, after product removal at 5 mins, 15mins
      will be done on day 1 of the study as listed below.

        -  Skin ColorimeterCL- 400 (Courage Khazaka Instrument): (International Commission on
           Illumination) CIE L-, a-, b- value, ITA (Individual Topology Angle] - instant change in
           skin colour, tone
