One thing every skincare enthusiast and specialist can vouch for is that Hyaluronic acid offers innumerable benefits to your skin. It aids in hydrating and locking all the moisture in your skin. This product is a sure-shot way to get the golden ticket to youthful and radiant skin! Are you tempted to learn more about all the benefits this ingredient offers? Well, this blog will provide great insight into how your skin will change (for the better) once you incorporate it into your routine. So sit back, relax and explore the world of Hyaluronic Acid together. What is Hyaluronic Acid? Hyaluronic acid is present in the body in various connective tissues, with the highest concentrations in the skin, joints, and eyes. It's a humectant, which means it can hold water molecules and prevent moisture loss. When applied topically, Hyaluronic Acid can penetrate the skin and attract water molecules from the environment, leaving the skin hydrated and plump. With age, your body produces lesser Hyaluronic Acid, leading to a decline in skin hydration and elasticity. This can result in the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Using skincare products containing Hyaluronic Acid can help to restore the skin's moisture levels and reduce the appearance of these signs of ageing. Know The Benefits Of Using Foxtale's Hyaluronic Acid Serum 1. Provides Hydration Hyaluronic acid serum benefits the skin in so many ways, and one of its key advantages is its ability to provide intense hydration. Since Hyaluronic acid is a humectant, it can hold water molecules and prevent moisture loss. When applied topically, it can penetrate the skin and attract water molecules from the environment, leaving the skin plump and hydrated. Boost skin hydration with the keep calm daily hydrating serum, which contains a mix of red algae, sodium hyaluronate and aquaporin boosters that provides intense moisturisation to the skin throughout the day. 2. Plumper skin When applied topically or injected into the skin, hyaluronic acid can help replenish moisture levels and improve skin hydration, making the skin appear plumper and more youthful. Foxtale's daily hydrating hyaluronic acid serum makes your skin plumper and brighter by 75% instantly! 3. Anti-ageing As you age, the levels of hyaluronic acid in the skin decrease, leading to dryness, fine lines, and wrinkles. The daily hydrating serum restores moisture levels in the skin and causes a 60% reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Remember- well-hydrated skin leads to a lesser possibility of fine lines and wrinkles. 4. Soothing Hyaluronic acid has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe and calm irritated skin. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, or rosacea. The daily hydrating serum contains powerful ingredients like α—Bisabolol, Betaine and vitamin B5. Did you know α—Bisabolol, a component of chamomile, provides a soothing effect on the skin and reduces redness and inflammation that comes with that pesky acne? A bonus- Betaine and vitamin B5 nourish and calm inflamed skin. 5. Improved Texture As a powerful humectant, hyaluronic acid can attract and hold onto water molecules, which aids in keeping the skin hydrated and plump. When the skin is hydrated, it appears smoother, softer, and more supple, improving the skin's overall texture. The serum also evens skin tone and reduces pigmentation around the eyes and chin, leading to a brighter complexion. 6. Enhanced Skin Barrier Hyaluronic acid can strengthen the skin's barrier function, which helps to protect it from environmental stressors like pollution, UV radiation, and harsh weather conditions. 7.Glowing Skin Hydration helps enhance your skin’s latent radiance. So, if your face has been looking a little dull lately, make sure to amp up your skin’s water intake with Hyaluronic Acid. 8. Ensures A Balanced Microbiome The oil slick on your skin doesn’t compensate for the lack of hydration. In fact, prolonged dehydration can cue the sebaceous glands into overdrive mode leading to more greasiness. This is why hydration like clockwork is essential for your skin. And what better ingredient than humectant Hyaluronic Acid to carry out this job. 9. Faster Wound Healing Hyaluronic acid is involved in wound healing by promoting cell migration and proliferation.

Imagine a product that can take care of all your skin concerns. Introducing the ultimate skin saviour - Retinol! Say goodbye to fine lines, acne, and other skin concerns. This powerful ingredient works wonders to keep your skin youthful, radiant, and blemish-free. The more you discover about it, the more you realize its untapped potential. Dive into the article to know more! But wait, what is Retinol? Retinol is a vitamin A derivative known to play a key role in supporting cell growth and turnover. Belonging to a class of retinoids, retinol is gentler and friendlier to your skin. It speeds up the production of collagen (your secret ingredient to address those unwanted signs of ageing), reduces pore size, fights acne, and gives your firmer skin. When it comes to being an all-rounder, retinol is the standard. Below is a list of why you need to include this product in your routine STAT! Advantages of Retinol Combats ageing Yes, you read it right. Retinol is known to boost the production of collagen, which plays a crucial role in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This helps you achieve youthful and radiant skin. Fights acne In your fight against acne, Retinol is the most powerful weapon you'll possess. This vitamin A derivative is a one-stop solution for acne and pimples. Retinol prevents the possibility of future breakouts by declogging pores and getting rid of dead skin cells. This mechanism inhibits the growth of pimples and acne. Because of this full-proof working, it leaves no space for acne to form. Boosts radiance Did you know that factors like stress, smoking, and pollution can make your skin look dull? Luckily, you no longer have to worry about this. Retinol initiates cell turnover, a process in which dead skin cells are continuously shed, producing new, healthier skin cells with a chance to surface. It also regulates the production of melanin, a substance responsible for your skin's pigmentation. This functional duo gives bright and glowy skin. Get even-toned skin With retinol in the picture (and your routine), you no longer have to worry about pigmentation on certain parts of your skin. Instead, it works by stimulating collagen production and accelerating cell turnover, which helps reduce wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and acne. Prevents sun damage We all tend to skip the sunscreen and think it's no big deal, but in reality, we're leaving our skin vulnerable to the sun's harmful rays. Retinol is perfect for you if your skin is showing signs of sun damage. It helps eliminate all the damaged skin cells and fades brown spots by speeding up cell turnover. Still skeptical about using retinol? What if we tell you there's a retinol serum that's more soothing, gentle, and moisturizing to the skin? Your search for the perfect retinol ends here. The retinol that suits every skin type Foxtale's Vit-A-lity retinol night serum unlocks the secret to the ultimate all-in-1 solution for all your skin concerns. Here are a few reasons why it needs to be added to your skincare shelf! 1) Encapsulated retinol If you're one of the many folks with oily skin, finding the right skincare products can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. You want something that will keep your skin in check without clogging pores or making it feel too greasy. Foxtale's Retinol Serum is the holy grail of skincare. It contains 0.15% encapsulated retinol which is lightweight, absorbs quickly into the skin, and won't make your skin feel oily. Its efficacy in treating the signs of ageing is 2X faster than other retinol serums. It is also known to boost collagen production and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 2) Perfect for dry & sensitive skin If you have dry skin, it is recommended to use low-strength retinol to prevent your skin from drying out. A wise decision would be to use a product containing a lesser concentration of retinol, such as Foxtale's retinol anti-ageing night serum. The unique thing about this serum is that it contains 0.15% encapsulated retinol- a process in which an active ingredient is trapped within a carrier agent so it can be released slowly to the targeted area. How does this help exactly? It can penetrate the deepest layers of the skin to deliver benefits without any side effects that ordinary retinol serums cause. Having sensitive skin is an unending cycle of worrying about the ingredients in a product. You are more prone to redness and irritation when you use a product containing a higher percentage of retinol. But with Foxtale’s retinol serum, you no longer have to fear purging and irritation! 3) Palmitoyl glycine While the name sounds intimidating, the function it performs is not. This ingredient reduces wrinkles to reveal smooth, firm, and radiant skin by improving skin oxygenation and building skin proteins. 4) Goodness of moisturizing agents The serum is enriched with hydrating and moisturizing ingredients like betaine and allantoin, designed to pamper and nourish your skin. Say hello to bouncy and supple skin! 5) Kokum butter The presence of kokum butter in the serum helps treat acne and other skin inflammatory conditions. Conclusion You no longer have to do the guesswork; retinol is the right fit for you. Its versatility makes it a must-have in any skincare routine, regardless of skin type. Not only does it combat acne, but it also bestows a youthful radiance upon your skin. Let retinol work its magic on your skin today! FAQ 1.My skin is extremely dry. Will using retinol dry it further? No, Foxtale’s retinol will not dry out your skin. Here’s a tip- To minimize the risk of dryness and redness, use a product with a lower concentration of retinol, like Foxtale’s retinol anti ageing night serum. It contains 0.15% encapsulated retinol which does not cause any purging or dryness and delivers the best anti-ageing benefits. 2.Can I apply retinol directly to my skin? No, applying retinol directly to the face can make it drier and turn it red. After cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser like the daily duet cleanser, you can layer it with Foxtale's ceramide moisturizer. This step is important to let your skin adjust to the retinol. 3.How should I introduce retinol to my skin if I’m a beginner? If you’re a beginner, we recommend using a lower concentration of retinol to get your skin acclimatized to the product. You can introduce retinol to your skin by using the ‘sandwich method’ where you layer it between two layers of moisturizer. This minimizes the possibility of any irritation. Initially, you can use the serum twice or thrice a week and gradually increase the usage every alternate night.

It is recommended to apply the serum in the morning to protect yourself from free radical damage. However, it is important to follow up with using sunscreen. Here's a step-by-step application for your skincare routine: Step 1: Use a cleanser Your face must be a fresh canvas for any product to work entirely on the skin.

You only need 2 to 3 pumps of Foxtale’s efficacious Vitamin C Serum to see visible results! 3. Application: Always apply the serum on a clean canvas. Use a gentle, pH-balancing cleanser to remove dirt, grime, and other impurities from the pores. Dab your skin dry before whipping out the serum bottle – don’t apply the formula on damp skin. 4. Dabbing Vs Rubbing: We recommend dabbing the serum on your face instead of vigorously rubbing. This reduces potential flare-ups, inflammation, redness, etc. Moreover, dabbing the serum minimizes wastage significantly. 5. Consistency: If you are chasing the skin of your dreams, be consistent with your Vitamin C Serum. Use it in your morning/nighttime skincare routine daily. 6.
