Key differences

  • Minimalist costs less per ml at the last checked prices (₹21 vs ₹26), although Plum may suit you better on formula.
  • They use different forms of vitamin C: L-Ascorbic Acid in Minimalist and 3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid in Plum. Strength percentages of different forms are not directly comparable.
  • Listed strengths are 10% and 15%. A higher percentage is not automatically more effective and can be more irritating.
  • Customer ratings come from different sellers and review systems, so small rating gaps are not meaningful.
