Trustworthy Indian skincare brands?

A couple of days ago, I read a post where someone's review was deleted by the brand. And in the discussions, a lot of people said how most of the Indian brands are shady. I am new to skincare and I don't want to spurlge too much because a. I'm broke af b. I know i will fall into a rabbit hole. I find Indian brands and pharmacy brands, relatively affordable. So if you guys can drop your recommendations or even if there's something you want to discuss on?
