How To Make The Best Of Foxtale's Acne Spot Corrector Gel? 

To make the most of our Acne Spot Corrector Gel, here’s a step-by-step routine you can follow. 

1. Cleanse: Before using the acne treatment, it's important to have a clean canvas. Use Foxtale’s Acne Control Face Wash to remove dirt, grime and other impurities from the skin. It contains Salicylic Acid which adroitly cuts excess sebum, reduces active acne, and soothes inflammation. Unlike other anti-acne washes, our cleanser doesn’t dry out the skin. It contains Hyaluronic Acid that improves your skin’s capacity to hold water. Additionally, Niacinamide in the face wash puts a sturdy lock on the hydration while upholding the lipid barrier. 

How to use: Take a coin-sized amount of the Acne Control Face Wash and gently scrub your face for 30 seconds. Next, use cold water for a double cleanse. We recommend not using hot water as it removes natural oils from the skin. 

2. Treat: After dabbing your skin dry, use Foxtale Acne Spot Corrector Gel. If you are using other treatments (Vit C for brightening, serum Niacinamide for oil control, etc.), spread them across your AM/PM regimen.

How to use: Apply a pea-sized amount of the spot corrector on individual bumps, eruptions, and rashes. Let the formula infuse into the skin before jumping on to the next step. Although there are no hard and fast rules – avoid applying the treatment on damp skin. 

3. Moisturize: Once the treatment absorbs into the skin, use a moisturizer to seal the active ingredients. There are a lot of myths surrounding moisturization for acne. So, right off the bat – moisturization is integral for maintaining acne-inflicted skin. This formula in your routine helps preserve skin hydration, further regulating sebum production. All you need is a gel-based, lightweight and non-comedogenic formula to get the job done. Try our in-house Oil Free Moisturizer STAT. It works to reduce skin greasiness, reduces acne, and calms inflammation. Moreover, Hyaluronic Acid and Marine Extracts bind water to your skin, making it appear soft and supple.

How to use: Take a dollop of Foxtale’s Oil Free Moisturizer and gently massage it on your skin.

4. SPF: Even if your skin is susceptible to breakouts, you shouldn’t skip on sunscreen. Harmful UV rays from the sun can lead to photoaging, pigmentation, tanning and burns. To avoid these problems, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen that doesn’t lead to greasiness or clogged pores. Our recommendation? Foxtale’s Mattifying Sunscreen. It contains Niacinamide that soaks up excess sebum and prevents plugged pores – making it the perfect fit for acne. 

Since Salicylic Acid and Glycolic Acid in the spot corrector exfoliates the skin to reveal newer skin cells – sunscreen is mandatory to prevent damage. 

How to apply: Use two fingers’ worth of the Mattifying Sunscreen for your face and neck. Apply it 20 minutes before stepping outdoors for best results. Ensure to reapply every 2 hours.

Conclusion: If you are prone to acne breakouts, make BFFs with Foxtale’s Acne Spot Corrector Gel. The formula containing Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid, and Azelaic Acid exfoliates the skin to reduce the appearance of acne bumps.
