Why Every Gen Z Is Talking About Kriti Sanon’s Skincare Line

Drawing from her own journey, research, and digital wellness routine, she tapped into what young consumers truly want: simplicity, authenticity, inclusivity, and affordability.

Let’s unpack why Hyphen has become the talk of the town—and a Gen Z favorite.

1. A Relatable, Well‑Researched Founder

Kriti’s entry wasn’t a typical celebrity vanity project. In interviews, she revealed that over lockdown, she became a skincare nerd—researching ingredients like Vitamin C, retinol, ceramides, double‑cleansing, sunscreen, and more.

She even “journaled” her skincare learnings before launching the brand. Gen Z admires this hands‑on, scientifically informed passion—no shortcut, Insta-pitch here.

3. Real Reviews & Reddit Reactions

Fans weren’t shy on Reddit:

“Perfect on price range. Neither it’s overpriced nor underpriced.”
“Went through some of the products… seems like an actual passion project… SUPERB.”

Not all feedback was glowing:

“Why would anyone buy a celebrity skin care brand?”
“Spf with 4 PA plus… shady.”

Still, the sincerity of product-backed mindsets and pricing drew applause from many—something Gen Z heavily values.

4. Inclusivity, Sustainability & Local Pride

Hyphen proudly launched as a Made‑in‑India, vegan and cruelty‑free D2C brand from day one—available across 18,000 pin codes.
Its minimalist, eco-conscious packaging and clear labelling resonate strongly with Gen Z’s sustainability-minded consumers.

5. A Trusted Connection Beyond the Screen

6. Smart Branding & Social Media Buzz

Launching on her birthday sparked nostalgic “gift from Kriti” excitement.
The brand’s hyphen tagline—“why not have it all, hyphen it”—resonates with Gen Z independence and defying boxes, a messaging tone that aligns with audiences who value self-expression.

Kriti Sanon’s Hyphen strikes a chord with Gen Z because it feels earned, honest, and purposeful. It’s not just another drop-shipped skincare line—it’s a reflection of Kriti’s own learning, values, and commitment to accessible beauty.
