Acne is one of the most prevalent skin concerns across the world. It occurs when harmful bacteria thrive in clogged pores – resulting in bumps and inflammation. Now, we firmly believe that breakouts and zits are not a big deal. However, severe acne or recurring zits impact not only appearance but also one’s confidence.   

Looking for products to build your anti-acne arsenal? You have landed on the right page. Foxtale brings you a range of high-performing, safe and innovative skincare. As cleansing is the first step in any routine, let’s begin with a highly efficient yet gentle face wash a.k.a. our in-house Acne Control Face Wash.  

Before we learn more about this efficacious offering, let’s understand the need for an acne control face wash. 

Okay, But Why Do I Need An Acne Control Face Wash?  

If you have oily, acne-prone or acne-affected skin, an acne-control face wash should be on your radar. Here’s why   

1. Oil control: We know that oily skin is more susceptible to breakouts or zits. An acne-control face wash with oil-soluble ingredients like Salicylic Acid cuts excess sebum – ensuring a balanced microbiome.

2. Unclogs pores: As discussed earlier, acne occurs when dirt, grime, and excess sebum clog pores. An efficient acne control face wash dislodges this buildup for a clear, radiant complexion. Using this formula twice daily minimizes the appearance of pores.

3. Prevents blackheads and whiteheads: Blackheads or whiteheads appear when dirt, sebum, and dead cells clog the pores on your skin. The only difference? Blackheads have bigger openings on the skin’s surface that lead to melanin oxidation – resulting in their black appearance. A potent acne control face wash helps prevent these blackheads or whiteheads by removing the most stubborn buildup. 

4. Acne control: It goes without saying – an acne control face wash inhibits bacterial growth, reducing the appearance of bumps and eruptions.

5. Curbs inflammation and soothes skin: Ideally, a good acne-control face wash carries soothing ingredients that help calm inflammation and rashes. 

Does Foxtale’s Acne Control Face Wash Check The Above Boxes? 

Yes. Our Acne Control Face Wash checks all these boxes and more. Ahead, we list the many benefits of this innovative formula that makes it stand tall in the market.

1. It promotes a healthy acid mantle: The acid mantle or lipid barrier is the first wall of defence of your body. It also plays a pivotal role in skin health by averting irritants, bacteria, and pathogens. That’s right – no matter the concern, a healthy barrier is indispensable to healthy skin. Luckily, Foxtale’s Acne Control Face Wash contains Niacinamide that helps bolster this lipid barrier while fighting acne. This active ingredient enhances the production of Ceramides and Elastin, ensuring optimal barrier functionality.

2. It is gentle on the skin: Unlike many of its counterparts in the market, Foxtale’s Acne Control Face Wash is extremely gentle on the skin. It is also devoid of Sulfates – making it safe for everyday use.

3. It offsets inflammation: Foxtale’s Acne Control Face Wash contains Hyaluronic Acid and Alpha Bisabolol that help counter inflammation, rashes and redness.  

4. It doesn’t make your skin feel stripped: Our innovative Acne Control Face Wash doesn’t make your skin feel extremely dry or stripped. You can add the offering to your AM/PM regimen without any worries.

5. It instantly hydrates your skin: Hydration is crucial for all skin types – oily skin is no exception. The lack of hydration triggers the sebaceous glands into overdrive, making your skin greasier than ever. Luckily, Foxtale’s Acne Control Face Wash contains Hyaluronic Acid that binds water molecules to the skin, making it look soft and supple.

6. Vegan and cruelty-free: If you are a conscious consumer, Foxtale’s Acne Control Face Wash is the way to go. Our potent cleanser is vegan and cruelty-free, much like all Foxtale skincare products. We believe in upholding the cause of sustainable and ethical beauty practices. 

How To Make The Most Of My Acne Control Face Wash? 

If you struggle with recurring or aggressive breakouts, here’s a fool-proof anti-acne routine starring our Acne Control Face Wash. So, what are you waiting for? Scroll ahead and say hello to gorgeous, acne-free skin.

1. Start with cleansing: Take a coin-sized amount of the Acne Control Face Wash and gently scrub your face for 30 seconds. Go for a second cleanse with cold or lukewarm water. 

How often should you cleanse: Experts suggest that cleansing twice daily is sufficient. So, you may use the Acne Control Face Wash in your morning and nighttime skincare routine. Avoid over-cleansing as it removes natural oils from the skin, making it dry and uncomfortably tight.

2. Apply treatment: Once your skin is dry, dab in a serum or treatment of choice. If you want to ensure brightening while regulating sebum – try our serum Niacinamide. Additionally, Foxtale’s acne gel for active breakouts and AHA BHA Exfoliating Serum for buildup removal make for great picks.

How often should you use serum or treatment: You can use the serum twice daily. If you are new to active ingredients, we recommend conducting a patch test first. To avoid any accidental flareups, you can start out by using the formulation twice or thrice weekly.

3. Moisturize for soft, supple skin: Moisturization has many benefits. It creates a protective barrier on the skin, sealing hydration and treatment for prolonged periods. A good moisturizing formula helps offset inflammation, defers ageing and makes your skin appear soft. For oily and acne-prone skin, we recommend Foxtale’s Oil Free Moisturizer. The Niacinamide-infused formula soaks excess sebum, prevents clogged pores, and soothes acne. Moreover, Hyaluronic Acid and Marine Extracts in the formula ensure long-lasting hydration for the skin.

How often should you moisturize: You should moisturize twice daily after cleansing.

4. 360 sun protection: You need SPF, even on a cloudy or outcast day. This formula shields the skin from harmful UV rays, preventing photoaging, pigmentation and other forms of damage. Foxtale’s Mattifying Sunscreen is the perfect fit for folks with oily or acne-prone skin.

How often should you wear sunscreen: You should apply sunscreen in the morning, 20 minutes before stepping out. If you are outdoors for a long period, reapply every 2 hours.
