Australian brand AyurScience is bringing one of the world’s oldest beauty traditions into the modern bathroom cabinet — and as our Editor, Natalie Bannister, discovered, the results speak for themselves.

I’ll be honest. I’ve tried a lot of skincare over the years. Occupational hazard of working in lifestyle media for as long as I have… you become both enthusiastic and quietly sceptical in equal measure. So when the CLARITY Skincare Ritual Set from AyurScience landed on my desk, I approached it the way I approach most things — with genuine curiosity and zero patience for marketing fluff.

What I didn’t expect was to become a little bit obsessed.

What Is Ayurvedic Skincare — and Why Is It Having a Moment?

Before we get into the products themselves, it’s worth understanding what Ayurvedic skincare actually is. Because this isn’t a trend, and it isn’t a rebrand. Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest healing systems, rooted in ancient India and refined over 5,000 years of lived practice. It’s a whole-body philosophy, and one that treats skin not as a surface problem to be fixed, but as a reflection of internal balance.

Ayurvedic beauty rituals have been passed down through generations of families for millennia. Ingredients like Amla, Turmeric, Saffron and Ashwagandha aren’t exotic additions dreamed up by a product developer; they are kitchen staples, remedies and daily rituals in South Asian households the world over. The skin knowledge embedded in this tradition is extraordinary… it just hasn’t always had the clinical rigour to back it up in a modern context.

That’s where AyurScience comes in.

Meet the Brand: Where Heritage Meets Clinical Science

AyurScience is an Australian skincare brand founded by second-generation pharmacists Rajesh and Mitesh Thakorlal, who grew up with the botanical knowledge, rituals, and ingredients of Ayurveda in their daily lives. What Rajesh and Mitesh have done is take that living tradition and apply genuine clinical pharmacist-led expertise to it. Every product is manufactured in Australia, tested for heavy metals, cruelty-free, plant-based and suitable for vegans.

The AyurActive Ingredient Complex — the Science Behind the Glow

Every product in the AyurScience Beauty CLARITY Skincare Ritual is powered by what AyurScience calls the AyurActive Ingredient Complex. Two ingredients in particular caught my interest.

Amla (Indian Gooseberry): Revered in Ayurvedic practice for centuries, Amla has been documented to contain up to 20 times the vitamin C of oranges. As a topical ingredient, that translates to serious antioxidant protection, collagen support and brightening activity.

Saffron: Treasured across South Asian and Persian beauty rituals for generations, Saffron has been shown in research to reduce free radical activity by up to 90%. For pigmentation and luminosity, it is as impressive on paper as it feels on skin.

The CLARITY Skincare Ritual Set — A Step-by-Step Review

The full CLARITY ritual is a four-step system targeting pigmentation, dullness and uneven skin texture. Here’s how each product performed.

Brightening Crème Cleanser

Not a stripping cleanser — and that’s the first thing I noticed. Rich and comfortable, it dissolves the day while delivering Ayurvedic actives from step one. My skin felt clean and even, without that tight, vaguely resentful feeling I get from most cleansers. A solid start.

Radiance Serum

Lightweight, fast-absorbing, and it layers beautifully under moisturiser. With consistent use, this is where the real work happens, gradually shifting dullness and pigmentation in a way that feels lasting rather than surface-level.

Even Skin Tone Moisturiser

The moisturiser does the quieter work, and does it well. Great texture — not too rich, not too watery — and it wears comfortably under SPF. The botanical actives contribute to genuine cumulative skin clarity over time, rather than sitting in the formula as a marketing afterthought.

Energising Mask

Used once or twice a week, this is the reset button in the routine. Pores tightened, tone refreshed… there’s a revitalised quality to the skin afterwards that I associate with well-formulated botanical blends. Use it on a Sunday and you’ll feel it on a Monday.
