Kriti Sanon’s HYPHEN launches #TheExFactor skincare resurfacing exfoliator
Mumbai: HYPHEN, founded by PEP Technologies and celebrity entrepreneur Kriti Sanon, has introduced the resurfacing 10 per cent AHA BHA PHA Exfoliator. The newly-launched exfoliator is a pioneering product resonating with the brand’s motive of hyphenating the power of nature and potency of science. With the richness of pineapple extract, chamomile, and AHA+BHA+PHA complex, the exfoliator deep cleanses the congested pores as well as gently exfoliates the dead skin cells while leaving the skin smooth, resurfaced, and glowing instantly in just one application.
With chemical-based exfoliants such as AHAs and BHAs, facial exfoliators facilitate the skin’s renewal process, resulting in a smoother, more even skin tone and clearer-looking skin from within. But consumers often find themselves settling for subpar solutions like basic face scrubs or harsh peels that tend to be sticky, and heavy and only remove surface-level dead skin, leaving it dry and irritated. However, a growing trend sees customers switching from face scrubs to advanced face exfoliating formulations for superior results without drawbacks. Recognizing the importance of incorporating exfoliation in skincare routines for maintaining healthy skin, HYPHEN identified the demand for an exfoliator that seamlessly complements any skin care regimen and offers a comprehensive solution to skin renewal. This led to the creation of the revolutionary Resurfacing 10 per cent AHA BHA PHA Exfoliator.
The Resurfacing 10 per cent AHA BHA PHA Exfoliator is meticulously formulated with a potent mix of completely non-abrasive exfoliation and skin-restoring ingredients that effortlessly get absorbed into the skin and even out the skin texture. Suitable for all skin types, the product is crafted with a 10 per cent AHA+BHA+PHA chemical blend to mildly exfoliate the skin without causing dryness. The product also includes other powerful natural ingredients such as 20 per cent Pineapple Extract that naturally exfoliates the skin, making it clearer and hydrated along with 2 per cent Cica, 2 per cent Chamomile, and Allantoin for providing a soothing effect to the skin. Infused with the goodness of all these calming properties, the exfoliator has a fluid and exceptionally lightweight texture that is fragrance-free – leaving the skin healthy and squeaky clean with zero irritation.
HYPHEN co-founder, and chief customer officer Kriti Sanon expressed her excitement for the new exfoliator, saying, “At HYPHEN, we aim to create a holistic skincare regime by introducing products such as cleansers, moisturizers, serums, sunscreens and now exfoliators which are essential in nurturing and protecting the skin. The Resurfacing 10 per cent AHA BHA PHA Exfoliator not only goes beyond just surface-level treatments but gives a whole new approach to healthy, clearer, and radiant skin. The product thoroughly unclogs pores and gently removes dead skin cells, leaving the skin impeccably smooth without causing dryness. And the best part is that it instantly gives you a radiant glow with just a single application! Since incorporating the Resurfacing 10 per cent AHA BHA PHA Exfoliator into my skincare regimen, I’ve noticed a remarkable transformation. And, I am super excited to see consumer reactions to our new launch!”
Harnessing the best of nature and the power of science, HYPHEN’s dedicated team develops skincare solutions that truly make a difference to elevate the skincare experience. The latest products introduced by the brand, including the Retinal Reset Serum and its range of Cleansers, have received highly positive responses from its customers. And now, with the launch of its groundbreaking exfoliator, HYPHEN underscores its dedication to providing innovative and effective skincare.

Hyundai and TVS Motor partner to develop electric three wheelers
Joint development pact targets last mile mobility with localisation push
MUMBAI: Three wheels, one big ambition and a charge towards the future. Hyundai Motor Company and TVS Motor Company have signed a joint development agreement to co-create electric three-wheelers (E3Ws), aiming to crack India’s complex last-mile mobility puzzle. The collaboration moves beyond concept talk into execution mode, building on the E3W prototype first showcased at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. The goal now is clear, design, develop and commercialise a purpose-built vehicle tailored to Indian roads, riders and realities.
Under the agreement, Hyundai will lead design and co-development, bringing its global R&D muscle and human-centric engineering approach to the table. TVS Motor, meanwhile, will anchor the product on its electric platform, leveraging deep three-wheeler expertise and local market insight. It will also handle manufacturing and sales in India, with an eye on exports down the line.
The timing is strategic. India remains the world’s largest three-wheeler market, where affordability, durability and adaptability often outweigh sheer innovation. The upcoming E3W aims to strike that balance combining advanced technology with practical features such as adaptive ground clearance for monsoon-hit roads, improved thermal management for tropical climates, and flexible interiors suited for passengers, cargo or emergency use.
A key pillar of the partnership is localisation. Major components will be sourced and manufactured within India, a move expected to strengthen the domestic supply chain, create jobs, lower costs and improve after-sales support.
The shift from prototype to production will involve rigorous testing, certification and refinement to meet regulatory standards and consumer expectations. Dedicated cross-functional teams from both companies are already in place to accelerate timelines.
At a broader level, the tie-up reflects a growing trend in mobility, global players partnering with local specialists to navigate emerging markets. For Hyundai and TVS, the bet is that combining scale with street-level insight could unlock a new chapter in sustainable urban transport, one that runs not just on electricity, but on relevance.
