Prices & codes last verified August 8, 2026

The short of it Dot & Key's own product feed, 80 rows read on August 8. Seven sunscreens cost exactly Rs. 445. A cleanser is Rs. 2.49 a millilitre and a serum Rs. 22.45. One cleanser is 48 per cent dearer per millilitre than its shelf. The cheapest sticker here has one of the worst rates.

We read 80 Dot & Key listings on August 8, 2026 from the brand's own feed, and there is no sale on any of them - every row states an MRP identical to its price. That removes the comparison most shelves are built on, so we priced everything per millilitre and per gram instead. The result is a tidy ladder: cleansers at Rs. 2.49 a millilitre, sunscreens at Rs. 8.90 a gram, serums at Rs. 22.45. Seven sunscreens cost exactly Rs. 445; five face washes cost exactly Rs. 249.

Every price below was pulled from Dot & Key on August 8, 2026 and checked against the MRP on the listing. Stack them with the live codes on our Dot & Key coupons page, which the deals desk re-verifies daily.

“A cleanser is on your skin for thirty seconds and then goes down the drain. It costs Rs. 2.49 a millilitre here. A serum stays on for hours and costs Rs. 22.45. That ordering is the right way round.” Zoutons Editorial Team

Five rules for buying from a brand that never discounts

First: price everything per millilitre or per gram, because with no badges to read the pack size is the only lever left - and on this site one cleanser priced Rs. 46 above the Rs. 249 shelf is 48 per cent dearer per millilitre, purely because the tube is 80ml rather than 100. Second: put the money where the contact time is. A rinse-off cleanser has thirty seconds to work and costs Rs. 2.49 a millilitre here; a serum stays on for hours and costs Rs. 22.45, and that ordering is correct. Third: for actives, read the stated concentration and note where there is not one - the serums here state 10 per cent and 2 per cent, while the eye cream states retinol and the exfoliating toner states glycolic acid without a figure for either. Fourth: do not buy three actives at once because the flat pricing makes it easy; an exfoliating toner plus an exfoliating serum is the standard route to irritated skin. Fifth: use the Rs. 99 minis for what they are - the most expensive rate on the page and the only way to test a formulation on a site with no ratings, no discounts and no shop counter. On shelves that do discount, the opposite discipline applies: we found a grooming site where 38 listings shared one price and the badge did all the moving.

What we skipped — and why

What we skipped, and why: 58 of the 80 listings. The largest group is within-shelf repetition: seven sunscreens sit at exactly Rs. 445 and we seated four plus the Rs. 495 exception; five face washes sit at exactly Rs. 249 and we seated three; four toners sit between Rs. 395 and Rs. 399 and we seated one; four lip balms sit at Rs. 249 and we seated one. Seating all of them would have produced a catalogue rather than a guide, since within each shelf the price is identical and only the formulation differs. We also left out the eight remaining 15ml trial minis at Rs. 99 to Rs. 350, which repeat the arithmetic of the one seated; four two-pack combos at Rs. 498, which are simply two full-size units at the shelf price; and a run of moisturisers at Rs. 495 that sit between the two seated. Nothing was excluded for being a bad product, and nothing was excluded on a discount or a rating, because this site has neither.

What we look for

We priced everything per millilitre and per gram, because there are no discounts to compare

Every one of the 80 listings we read on this site states an MRP identical to its price - zero per cent off, without exception, across every category. That removes the usual comparison entirely, so the only remaining lever is unit price, and it turns out to matter: a face wash is Rs. 2.49 a millilitre, a serum Rs. 22.45, and one cleanser priced Rs. 46 above the Rs. 249 shelf is actually 48 per cent more expensive per millilitre because the tube is 80ml rather than 100. Every card on this page carries the rate as well as the sticker.

We treated the price list as the honest thing it appears to be, and checked it anyway

A brand that never discounts is making a specific claim - that its prices are its prices - and on this evidence it holds: seven sunscreens at exactly Rs. 445, five face washes at exactly Rs. 249, four toners within Rs. 4 of each other. Where a price does move, it usually maps onto something real, such as the Rs. 50 premium on the water-resistant sunscreen or the Rs. 50 on the vitamin C serum, which is the most expensive common active to stabilise. The one place the tidiness breaks is pack size, and we have flagged it on the card where it happens.

No card here carries a rating, because the brand's feed publishes none

Dot & Key's product feed returns prices, images, product types and variants, and no rating or rating count. With no discount to weigh and no customer evidence to read, a page like this can only rank on unit price and on what the listings state is inside each product - which is what we have done. It also means we lean harder on stated concentrations, and several listings here do not publish one: the eye cream states retinol without a percentage, and the exfoliating toner states glycolic acid without one. We name those gaps on the cards rather than glossing them.

Nothing here was applied or tested, and every efficacy claim is the brand's

We have not used any product on this page. Ingredient names and concentrations, SPF and PA ratings, in-vivo testing claims, pack sizes, textures and skin-type recommendations are quoted from the brand's own listings, reported and not endorsed. We have made no assessment of whether any product reduces pigmentation, acne, dark circles or anything else, and the studies behind the brand's percentage claims are not published on the listings. Statements of category convention - that rinse-off cleansers have limited contact time, that exfoliating acids increase sun sensitivity, that clay masks are drying by design, that vitamin C oxidises in light - reflect general dermatological understanding rather than any test of these formulations. Patch-test guidance and full ingredient lists are on the product pages and should be read before you buy, particularly for the retinol and acid products.

FAQs

Does Dot & Key ever have a sale?

Not on the day we read it. All 80 in-stock listings we pulled from the brand's own feed on August 8, 2026 stated an MRP identical to the selling price - zero per cent off, across sunscreens, serums, cleansers, moisturisers, toners, masks and lip balms, with no exceptions anywhere in the read. Brands that price this way generally run promotions through bundles, gift-with-purchase and marketplace listings rather than through sitewide markdowns, and the site does carry two-pack combos at exactly twice the single price, which is not a discount either. What that means practically is that comparison shopping within the site is entirely about pack size and formulation, and that a coupon page is the place to check for anything that does move the price.

How much does Dot & Key sunscreen cost?

Rs. 445 for 50g, and that figure held across seven different sunscreens in our August 8 read - the mango, dragon fruit, cica, barrier repair, watermelon and vitamin C variants all carried the identical price. That works out at Rs. 8.90 a gram. The single exception is the Swim + Sports water-resistant formulation at Rs. 495, a Rs. 50 premium that corresponds to a genuinely different formulation, and a tinted version at Rs. 549. Because the price does not vary, the choice between them is purely about skin type and finish: gel textures for oily skin, ceramide-based ones for dry, tinted if you want coverage. All are stated as SPF 50+ PA++++, which is the maximum rating in common use.

Is a Rs. 449 face serum worth it?

It is the most expensive thing per millilitre on this page - Rs. 22.45 against Rs. 2.49 for a cleanser - and that ordering is correct rather than a warning, because a serum is applied in drops and stays on the skin for hours while a cleanser is rinsed away in thirty seconds. If you are going to spend on one product in a routine, the serum is the defensible place. What to check is the concentration: the serums here state 10 per cent niacinamide, 10 per cent glycolic, 2 per cent salicylic and 10 per cent vitamin C, which is more disclosure than many listings give. What we cannot tell you is whether they work - the brand publishes no study on the listing and its feed carries no customer ratings at all.

Why is the Rs. 295 face wash more expensive than the Rs. 249 one?

Per tube it is Rs. 46 dearer. Per millilitre it is 48 per cent dearer, because it contains 80ml where the Rs. 249 cleansers contain 100ml - which is the single place on this otherwise very tidy price list where the sticker misleads. The reverse also happens: a Rs. 329 micellar wash contains 120ml and works out at Rs. 2.74 a millilitre, within 25 paise of the cheapest shelf despite an Rs. 80 higher sticker. On a site with no discounts, pack size is the only variable that can quietly change the value of a purchase, which is why every card on this page carries the rate alongside the price.

What should I buy first from Dot & Key?

On the evidence available - which is price, pack size and stated ingredients, since there are no ratings and no discounts - the sensible order is sunscreen, then cleanser, then one serum. A sunscreen at Rs. 445 for 50g is the product with the largest established benefit in this entire range and the one most people under-use; a 50g tube applied properly lasts about two months. A cleanser at Rs. 249 for 100ml is the cheapest thing per millilitre here and the least important place to spend more. Then one serum, chosen for a specific concern rather than bought in threes. If you are unsure whether a formulation suits you, the 15ml minis at Rs. 99 are the most expensive rate on the site and the only way to test before committing.

How Zoutons picks deals Zoutons may earn a commission when you buy through links on this page. Every price here was read on August 8, 2026 from dotandkey.com's own Shopify product feed, and all figures can change without notice. We analysed 80 in-stock listings carrying a price and an image and seated 22 of them. Every one of those 80 rows returned a stated MRP identical to its selling price - that is, no discount on any listing - which is the central observation of this page and the reason no percentage appears on any card. The derived rates we quote (rupees per millilitre and per gram for each product) are ours, calculated from the pack sizes the listings themselves state; where a listing states a size in grams we have not converted it to millilitres or vice versa. The groupings we quote (seven sunscreens at Rs. 445, five face washes at Rs. 249, four toners between Rs. 395 and Rs. 399, four lip balms at Rs. 249) are ours, from those rows and nothing else. The brand's feed publishes no rating or rating count on any listing, so no card on this page carries a rating pill and no claim about customer satisfaction is made anywhere on it. We have not applied, tested or used any product on this page. Ingredient names and stated concentrations, SPF and PA ratings, in-vivo testing claims, textures, pack sizes and skin-type recommendations are quoted from the brand's listings as its own wording, reported and not endorsed; the studies behind the brand's percentage claims are not published on the listings and we have not seen them. We make no assessment of efficacy for pigmentation, acne, dark circles, ageing or any other outcome. Statements of category convention - that rinse-off products have limited contact time, that exfoliating acids increase photosensitivity, that vitamin C is unstable in light and air, that clay masks are drying by design, that retinol is irritating around the eye - reflect general dermatological understanding rather than any test of these formulations, and none of this is medical advice. Full ingredient lists, patch-test guidance, usage frequency and the brand's current return window should all be checked on dotandkey.com before you order, particularly for the retinol and acid products.
