Multi-Step skincare routines have been making waves on social media for a while now, but when a popular Bollywood A-lister also admits to following one, beauty lovers of all ages sit up and pay attention. The celebrity in this case was Alia Bhatt, who shared her multi-step process in a video — in addition to the usual eye cream and moisturiser, she also mentioned using serums containing niacinamide and caffeine, which are buzzy skincare active ingredients. As the name implies, actives are the actual components of skincare products that address skin concerns, explains Dr Shruti Barde, a dermatologist and founder of Studio SkinQ.
