best anti-ageing serums on Foxtale

Ageing is natural and inevitable – no denying it. However, premature signs of ageing in the form of fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin can bog down an individual’s spirit. Luckily, several serums in the market can help turn the clock on your skin and help you age more gracefully. Formulated with active ingredients like Retinol, Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid, these potent concocts restore your skin’s youthful appearance. 

This blog walks you through the best age-reversing serums on Foxtale. From our colossal hit, i.e. the retinol anti aging serum to the instant plumping Hyaluronic Acid serum – here's everything you should add to your cart. 

 Best Anti-Ageing Serums On Foxtale

1. Hydrating Serum With Hyaluronic Acid  

Key Ingredients: Hyaluronic Acid or Sodium Hyaluronate, Aquaporins Boosters, Red Algae Extracts, Betaine, Vitamin B5, Alpha-Bisabolol 

Infused with 6 humectants, this innovative serum binds water molecules to the skin for long-lasting hydration. Its lightweight, non-greasy formula instantly makes the skin plump by a jaw-dropping 75 %. Moreover, the HA-based elixir adroitly softens fine lines, wrinkles, laugh creases and crow’s feet, resulting in younger-looking skin. 

Other Reasons To Love Foxtale’s Hydrating Serum: 

> Banishes dark patches and spots 

> Upholds barrier health for long-lasting moisturization 

Alpha Bisabolol, Betaine and Vitamin E have a soothing effect on the skin – alleviating episodes of redness, inflammation and rashes. 

When Should I Use It: You can use the Daily Hydrating Serum in your morning or nighttime skincare routine. Take 2 to 3 pumps of the serum and dab it onto your skin using a light hand. Once the serum absorbs into the skin, use your favourite Foxtale Moisturizer to seal in the hydration. 

2. Vitamin C Serum  

Key Ingredients: Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Dicaprylyl Carbonate 

Topical application of the Vitamin C Serum boosts Collagen production, softening fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet and more. For those unaware, Collagen serves as the building block of the skin – responsible for its structure and integrity. Additionally, Vitamin C defers skin ageing by warding off aggressors, UV radiation, and free radicals. 

Other Reasons To Love Foxtale’s Vitamin C Serum 

> Reduces the appearance of dark spots and pigmentation  

> Enhances your skin’s brightness  

> Reduces episodes of redness, rashes and more 

When Should I Use It: You can use the Vitamin C Serum in your morning or nighttime skincare routine. If you are opting for the treatment in the morning, ensure to follow up with your moisturizer and sunscreen. 

3. Retinol Anti-Ageing Serum 

Key Ingredients: Encapsulated Retinol, Palmitoyl Glycine, Betaine, Kokum Butter  

Retinol is often dubbed the holy grail of anti-ageing. But it is an unstable molecule that can easily break down on your skin’s surface – leading to episodes of purging or flare-ups. Enter Foxtale’s innovative formula! It features encapsulated Retinol that travels deep into the skin and activates for optimal results. Our meticulous serum exfoliates the skin, cues healthy cellular regeneration and boosts collagen production to reduce ageing lines. 

Other Reasons To Love Foxtale’s Retinol Anti-Ageing Serum 

> Ensures an even skin tone 

> Bestows a gorgeous radiance to the skin 

When Should I Use It: Your skin slips into repair and rejuvenation mode at night – shedding build-up to cue healthy cellular regeneration. This is why we recommend using the Retinol Anti-Ageing Serum at night. 

Why Should I Use An Anti-Ageing Serum?

If there is a flurry of anti aging skin care products available in the market, why must you opt for a serum? Well, creams and lotions can travel only so far into the skin. On the other hand, a serum boasts a liquid-like consistency and percolates into the deepest layer of the skin to work its magic. Moreover, a serum carries a high concentration of active ingredients that make it highly effective – ensuring visible results in a time-bound frame. 

The Best Routine For Age-Reversing

Picked the age-reversing serum of your choice? Here’s how you can add it into your daily skincare routine. 

1. Cleansing: Use a gentle face wash to cast away dirt, debris and impurities from the pores, ensuring a healthy microbiome. If your skin type is dry or sensitive, use the Hydrating Face Wash by Foxtale. It carries Sodium Hyaluronate and Red Algae Extracts that serve as a tall glass of water for the skin. Alternatively, for oily or combination skin, try the Acne Control Face Wash with Salicylic Acid. Cleansing is essential to ensure better absorption of your result-oriented serum. 

2. Treatment: Once your skin is dry, apply 2 to 3 pumps of your anti-ageing serum. Dab it gently, using a light hand to avoid strain on the skin. 

3. Moisturize: A potent moisturizer helps seal the treatment and hydration into the skin. For dry skin or sensitive skin, we recommend Foxtale’s Hydrating Moisturizer with Ceramides. It contains Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer and Olive Oil that ensure sustained hydration to the skin. Alternatively, for oily or combination skin, we recommend our innovative Oil Free Moisturizer. This lightweight formulation soothes acne and inflammation while preventing TEWL or transepidermal water loss.

4. Sun Protection: Sun protection is crucial when you are administering active ingredients to your skin. Luckily, Foxtale carries a range of SPFs for different skin types. We recommend the Dewy Sunscreen for dry skin and Mattifying Sunscreen for oily or combination skin.

Use a light hand during application to avoid any stress or strain on the skin. 3. Follow up with the eye glow under eye gel. Glide its metallic tip from one side of the under-eye region to another. Then repeat on the other side. 4. After the treatments absorb into the skin, use a lightweight moisturizer to seal it in. For combination skin, we recommend Foxtale’s Oil Free Moisturizer. The Niacinamide infused formulation regulates oil production while ensuring long-lasting skin hydration. 5. Once through, apply Foxtale’s Mattifying Sunscreen.

Is It Okay To Use Retinol Everyday?

If you walk through the anti-ageing section of a skincare aisle, you will find Retinol plastered all over it. A form of Vitamin A, Retinol is a miraculous age-reversing ingredient that softens fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet – restoring your skin’s youthful appearance. However, Retinol’s topical application may cause irritation, inflammation, and other sensitivities in some folks. This is because, although effective, Retinol’s molecule is slightly unstable. So, how does one harness its power without flaring up underlying sensitivities? Let’s find out. We will also learn if Retinol is a good fit for your everyday skincare routine. What Really Is Retinol? As touched upon briefly, a form of Vitamin A, Retinol is the holy grail of anti-ageing. It is found in creams, serums, and even some cosmetic products. What Are The Many Benefits Of Retinol When formulated correctly, a Retinol Serum has the following benefits - 1. It makes your skin elastic and supple: For those unaware, Collagen (a type of protein) is your dermis’ building block. It is responsible for the structure and integrity of your skin but isn’t safe from depletion. Factors like ageing, continued solar exposure, and overtly sugary meals can damage the Collagen levels in your skin, making it loose and saggy. But not anymore! Topical application of Retinol helps counter this problem by boosting Collagen production in your skin cells. It also fades the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet for smooth, soft skin. 2. It prevents whiteheads, blackheads, and acne: The skin lays bare to aggressors, pollutants and impurities, resulting in a layer of unwarranted buildup. This menacing buildup clogs your pores, often leading to whiteheads, blackheads or even acne. Enter Retinol. Topical application of this ingredient prevents clogged pores, helping keep these inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne at bay. 3. It ensures an even texture for your skin: The skin has a unique set of functions for day and night. That’s right. While you’re busy counting sheep, the dermis sheds its dead cells and cues healthy cellular regeneration. Active ingredient Retinol facilitates this renewal process, ensuring an even texture and tone for your skin. Okay, But How To Deal With Retinol-Related Flare-Ups? We now know that Retinol molecules are unstable and often break open on the skin’s surface. This leads to burning, stinging, reddening, and other types of inflammation. But not anymore! Foxtale’s innovative Retinol Serum helps save the day. Using Encapsulated Technology, the formulation seeps into the skin to address concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet. What Makes Foxtale’s Retinol Serum Stand Out? Before you add Foxtale’s Retinol Serum into your skincare rotation, here’s everything you should know - 1. It delivers instant hydration: Unlike other Retinol Serums, Foxtale’s inventive brew doesn’t make your skin feel stripped. Betaine in the formula binds water molecules to the skin, ensuring long-lasting hydration. 2. It moisturizes and soothes your skin: Infused with Kokum Butter, Foxtale’s Retinol Serum ensures multi-level moisturization for your skin, making it feel uber soft and smooth. 3. It eliminates flare-ups: Formulated with the double encapsulation technology, the Retinol molecule travels into the skin in a protective layer and breaks open to address concerns. Results? No flare-ups or inflammation. So, Is It Okay To Use Retinol Everyday? Foxtale’s 0.15% Retinol Serum is innovative, high-performing, and most importantly, safe for all skin types. But does that make it okay to use the serum every day? Well, if you are new to Retinol (in general), start by using the serum 1 to 2 times weekly. If your skin responds well – use the serum for two nights in a row, a night off, and then repeat. If everything goes well for a month, add it to your daily skincare routine. How To Make The Most Of Foxtale’s Retinol Serum? To make the most of Foxtale’s Retinol Serum, here’s how you can integrate it in your daily routine - 1. Cleanse well: Before applying any serum, use a face wash to remove dirt, grime, and other impurities from the pores. This ensures better absorption of your serum/treatment. - People with dry or sensitive skin can try Foxtale’s Hydrating Face Wash. It contains Sodium hyaluronate and Red Algae Extract that ensure deep and multi-level hydration for the skin. The best part? This cleanser also doubles as an efficient makeup remover. - Alternatively, folks with oily or combination skin can try Foxtale’s Acne Control Face Wash. The Salicylic Acid face wash cuts excess sebum, soothes inflammation, and flattens acne bumps over time. How to use: Take a coin-sized amount of the formulation and cleanse for about 30 seconds. Next, go for double cleansing with cold or lukewarm water. 2. Apply Serum: Dab your skin dry and apply a few pumps of the Retinol Serum. Observe caution around sensitive areas like the eyes and the mouth. 3. Moisturize thoroughly: After the serum infuses in your skin, use a moisturizer to seal this treatment. For those unaware – a moisturizer is an emollient-rich formula that creates a protective barrier on the dermis, preventing TEWL or transepidermal water loss. - People with dry skin can try Foxtale’s Hydrating Moisturizer! Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer and Olive Oil at the forefront improve your skin’s water-holding capacity. -Alternatively, folks with oily or combination skin can try Foxtale’s Oil Free Moisturizer. This Niacinamide formula blots excess oil, prevents unclogged pores, and alleviates acne breakouts. How to apply: Take a generous dollop of the moisturizer and massage it on your skin. 4. Sun protect: Since Retinol may cause photosensitivity in some individuals, using sunscreen the following morning is non-negotiable. Use a powerful, broad-spectrum formula that shields your skin against harmful UVA and UVB rays. People with dry or sensitive skin can try Foxtale’s Dewy Sunscreen. One of the best skincare for dry skin, this formula helps prevent tanning, burns, photoaging, and pigmentation. People with oily or combination skin can try Foxtale’s Mattifying Sunscreen. The Niacinamide imbued formula cuts sebum, prevents clogged pores, and soothes inflammation while ensuring formidable sun protection.

The Importance Of Retinol In An Anti-Ageing Regimen

The barrage of myths surrounding Retinol gives it a bad rap. If used aptly, Retinol offers several benefits across skin types. It boosts Collagen production to fight fine lines, unclogs pores to prevent acne, and so much more (discussed later in this blog). While ageing is a natural process, Retinol is an efficacious ingredient that helps you age gracefully. So, why not give it a fair shot? Scroll ahead, as we discuss the many benefits of Retinol and introduce you to the best Retinol Serum. That’s right. This Foxtale bestseller ensures maximum efficacy with minimum flareups. Before We Get There, Let’s Understand Retinol Retinol is a form of Vitamin A found in creams, moisturizers, and other skincare products. However, in this blog, we rally for Retinol in the serum format. Here’s why 1. A serum contains a high concentration of Retinol molecules, making it effective. 2. The thin, watery consistency of a Retinol serum allows it to seep deep into the skin, boosting its efficacy. What Are The Benefits Of Retinol? If you’re still on the fence about Retinol, here’s a closer look at its benefits. So, read at leisure and make an informed choice 1. Retinol restores your skin’s youthful appearance: We know that Retinol is the most popular for its anti-ageing benefits. The topical application of Retinol boosts Collagen production, softening fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet. Moreover, Retinol helps neutralize free radicals that damage and deplete your skin’s Collagen bank. 2. Retinol treats inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne: Retinol helps treat acne by preventing clogged pores. Add the active ingredient to your PM routine to beat whiteheads, blackheads and acne bumps. For recurring bumps, you can also try Foxtale’s gel for acne. 3. Retinol improves skin texture: For those unaware, the skin has a circadian rhythm. In simple terms – the skin takes up protection activities during the day and slips into repair mode in the PM. Skincare workhorse Retinol aids this repair process by shedding buildup and ensuring healthy regeneration of skin cells. It helps clarify the skin, fights dark spots and minimizes the appearance of pores. The Best Retinol Serum Now that you are well versed in the benefits of Retinol, it's time to add the active to your routine. The problem that most people face with Retinol – it is an unstable molecule that can cause flare-ups and inflammation. Luckily, Foxtale’s innovative formula solves this problem. What Makes Foxtale’s Retinol Serum Stand Out? Foxtale’s innovative serum uses encapsulated Retinol to reduce the episodes of purging. This technology encloses Retinol in a protective barrier that breaks open after travelling through the skin. Results? Improved efficacy and faster results. Additionally, our Retinol anti ageing serum doesn’t leave behind any residue that can cause purging or irritation. What Are Some Benefits Of Foxtale’s Retinol Serum? 1. Our serum uses Encapsulated Retinol, reducing episodes of purging and irritation. 2. Foxtale’s Retinol Anti-Ageing Serum has been formulated with all skin types in mind. The formulation is dubbed fit for folks with underlying sensitivities too. 3. Unlike many Retinol serums, our innovative offering won’t dry out the skin. That’s right. Foxtale’s Retinol Serum contains Betaine and Kokum Butter that ensure long-lasting moisturization. 4. Allantoin in the serum counters minor episodes of inflammation, irritation, and flareups. The Best Skincare Routine For Mature Skin Want to make the most of Retinol? Here’s a nighttime routine to help you stand in good stead. Scroll ahead 1. Cleansing: Use a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, grime and impurities from the pores, ensuring a balanced microbiome. If you have dry or sensitive skin, try Foxtale’s Hydrating Face Wash. It contains Sodium Hyaluronate and Red Algae Extract that intensely hydrate the skin. Alternatively, folks with oily or combination skin can try Foxtale’s Acne Control Face Wash. Salicylic Acid in this formulation cuts excess oil, soothes inflammation, and reduces acne breakouts. How to use: Take a coin-sized amount of the cleanser and scrub for 30 seconds. Once through, use cold or lukewarm water for a double cleanse. 2. Treatment: Once your skin is dry, apply 2 to 3 drops of Foxtale’s Retinol Serum. How to use: We recommend using Retinol thrice a week at night. This little step in your PM routine helps accelerate cellular renewal, improving your skin’s texture. 3. Moisturize: Once the serum absorbs into the skin, use a moisturizer to seal in this treatment. Moreover, moisturizer decelerates ageing signs, calms inflammation, and makes your skin soft & supple. If you have dry skin, we recommend Foxtale’s Hydrating Moisturizer. It contains Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Olive Leaf Extract, and Ceramides that improve your skin’s water-holding capacity. People with oily or combination skin can try Foxtale’s Oil Free Moisturizer. The lightweight moisturizer blots sebum, reduces acne, and calms redness. Additionally, Hyaluronic Acid and Marine Extracts replenish your skin’s moisture reservoir. Sensitive skin folks, place your trust in Foxtale’s Skin Repair Cream. It uses ERS technology to hydrate, nourish, and heal your skin. How to use: Take a dollop of your moisturizer and apply it on your skin. 4. Eye Treatment: After applying your moisturizer, whip out Foxtale’s Brightening Under Eye Cream. The innovative formula with Vitamin C, Caffeine, and Hyaluronic Acid mimics the effects of an undereye filler. This gel reduces pigmentation, improves hydration, boosts microcirculation and enhances Collagen production to fade dark circles. All you need is 30 days for visible, jaw-dropping results. How to use: Use the ceramic tip and apply a pea-sized amount of the treatment on the problem areas. 5. Sunscreen, the following morning: Retinol can cause skin photosensitivity in some individuals. To avoid any damage, we recommend using SPF the following morning. A potent sunscreen shields the skin against harmful UVA and UVB radiation, preventing pigmentation, burns, and tanning. How to use: Take two fingers’ worth of sunscreen and apply it on your face and neck. Since sunscreen takes about 20 minutes to absorb completely, don’t apply it right before stepping out. If you are staying outdoors for long periods, reapply every two hours or so. Additionally, we recommend using scarves, hats, and caps to safeguard your skin.

Anti-ageing is a hot topic, and it's no wonder why. Your skin loses elasticity as you age and begins to show ageing signs. However, with the right tips and routine, it is possible to keep your skin youthful and healthy for longer.

While ageing is a natural process that we cannot stop, we can take steps to help our skin look and feel its best for longer. Tips to Anti-Ageing Outlined are a few tips to help you slow down the signs of ageing: Shield your skin from the sun: Sun damage is one of the leading causes of ageing, so protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays is vital. Use a high-protection sunscreen with an SPF 50 PA++++ or higher, and wear protective clothing such as a hat and long-sleeved shirt. Eat a healthy diet: What you eat can significantly impact your skin's health. Therefore, eat a balanced diet with lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins. Stay hydrated: Drink enough water to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. Consume at least eight glasses of water daily. Avoid smoking: Smoking can speed up ageing, so it's best to avoid it altogether. Get enough sleep: Lack of sleep can take a toll on your skin, so make sure to get enough sleep each night. Factors Determining Anti-Ageing Several factors can determine how your skin ages, including genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Genetics can play a significant role in how your skin ages, but lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and smoking can also have an impact. Environmental factors like pollution, sun exposure, and stress can also contribute to ageing. Steps for the Routine Here are some steps to follow in your anti-ageing skincare routine: Cleanse: Start by cleansing your skin with a hydrating cleanser to remove dirt, oil, or makeup. Exfoliate: Exfoliating your skin can help remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. Apply a serum: Serums can target specific skin concerns, like fine lines and wrinkles. Moisturize: Moisturizing your skin is a vital part of your daily routine for keeping skin hydrated and healthy. Apply sunscreen: Finish off your routine by applying a high-protection sunscreen with an SPF of 50 PA++++ or higher. What is Anti-Ageing Skin? Anti-ageing skin refers to skin that is healthy, youthful, and free from the signs of ageing. This can include smooth, firm skin with a clear complexion and minimize fine lines and wrinkles. What Age to Use Anti-Ageing Products? Start taking care of your skin now because there are many anti-ageing products; one of the most effective is retinol, which can help prevent early signs of ageing. However, most experts recommend using anti-ageing products in your 20s or early 30s, as this is when the signs of ageing can start to appear. Conclusion: Anti-ageing is natural, but we can slow down the signs by following a consistent skincare routine, healthy lifestyle habits, and protecting skin from sun damage. Maintaining youthful, healthy-looking skin for years to come is possible with care. FAQs 1.How can I prevent or slow down the signs of ageing skin? You can prevent or slow down the signs of ageing by following a skincare routine that includes regular cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection, as well as incorporating anti-ageing ingredients such as retinoids, antioxidants, and peptides. 2.What anti-ageing ingredients should I look for in my skincare products? Some anti-ageing ingredients that you should look for in your skincare products include retinoids, hyaluronic acid, peptides, vitamin C, alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), and antioxidants like vitamin E and green tea extract. 3.How often should I exfoliate my skin for anti-ageing benefits? You should exfoliate your skin 1-2 times weekly for anti-ageing benefits. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells that make your skin look dull and contribute to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 4.How important is sun protection in an anti-ageing skincare routine? Sun protection is critical in an anti-ageing skincare routine. Exposure to UV rays can cause premature ageing, including the look of fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, and loss of elasticity. So make sure to use a high-protection sunscreen with at least SPF 50 PA++++ every day, even on cloudy days.

Best Anti-Ageing ingredients to include in your Skincare Routine.

With a plethora of ingredients claiming to be miracle products for anti-aging, it gets tricky to select the best for your skin type. In reality, there are only a handful of ingredients that are clinically proven to reduce wrinkles and other signs of aging. However, it all comes down to your skin type regarding what will work best for you. We have listed some of the best anti-aging ingredients which are suitable for specific skin types and also products that are daily essentials to retard the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Best ingredients in skincare that help fight aging To retain the youthfulness and glow of your skin for years to come, choosing the right product and ingredients is essential. Here we have listed a few such ingredients which effectively minimize the signs of aging in all skin types: 1. Sunscreen Sunscreen is an absolute must to ensure your skin does not face the brunt of sun damage. Sun damage can accelerate the aging process. A sunscreen like the Foxtale Cover Up Dewy Sunscreen which has SPF 50+, PA++++, is broad spectrum, and enriched with niacinamide is ideal to prevent sun damage and reap the anti-aging benefits. Niacinamide is a known ingredient that improves the skin’s protective barrier and prevents aging. 2. Encapsulated retinol Retinol has become a popular ingredient for its anti-aging properties these days but it can be harsh to the top layer of the skin. This is what sets apart encapsulated retinol. It penetrates deeper within the skin and then starts acting. Thus, you get the benefits of retinol without enduring the harshness. The Foxtale Vit-A-Lity Retinol Night Serum which is also infused with peptides, vitamin E, kokum butter, and betaine is ideally designed to give you anti-aging benefits in the gentlest possible way. 3. Peptides Peptides are building block proteins that can effectively boost collagen production in the body. They also help to improve the moisturization of the body. They are also significantly effective to reduce the signs of aging and can improve wrinkles in two weeks. 4.Vitamin C Vitamin C is available in many forms among which the L-Ascorbic acid is the purest and most potent. It is known for various benefits like brightening, smoothing, and reducing hyperpigmentation. It is rich in antioxidants and can protect your skin from UV damage. However, it is a rather unstable ingredient if not formulated correctly. The Foxtale C For Yourself Vitamin C serum is a great way to include this ingredient in your daily skincare routine. It is mild and has a blend of 15% vitamin C and vitamin E which stabilizes the formula. 5. Vitamin E Vitamin E is one of the age-old ingredients that has been around for many years. It is suitable for all skin types and is known because of its effectiveness. It can absorb UV rays and slows the signs of aging. Vitamin E can also soothe dryness and irritation. Topical vitamin E is a safe product to use against fine lines and wrinkles. Last but not the least, it is an extremely gentle product that is soothing to most skin types. Vitamin E is found in the form of creams, moisturizers, and serums and is often blended with vitamin C for the best results. 6. Ceramides The ceramides are the building blocks of your skin. It is naturally produced in your skin. However, over the years, the production can slow down and as a result, fine lines and wrinkles start appearing. Using topical collagen products is the key to reducing signs of aging. The Foxtale Ceramide Supercream not only gives the collagen boost you need but also hydrates the skin thoroughly. It is enriched with hyaluronic acid which is a humectant and hence keeps your skin hydrated for a longer period. The early signs of aging are prevented when your skin is supple and hydrated. 7. AHAs Signs of aging also get accelerated when your skin is not cleaned well or gets clogged with dead skin cells. As a result, products are unable to penetrate deep. AHA is the ideal ingredient to prevent this problem. It has mild exfoliation properties and can remove accumulated dead skin cells efficiently. It also improves the cell turnover of your skin and hence the signs of aging will fade significantly. Aging is inevitable but with the right products, you can delay it significantly. Read the ingredients list in your skincare carefully the next time you are choosing a product. If any of the above-mentioned ingredients are listed as the primary component of the product, you can invest in it without hesitation.
