1. Can I use a serum with Retinol every day?

Twice a week at night is the sweet spot for using Retinol! Don’t forget to follow it up with sunscreen the next day.

2. When should you avoid Retinol?

Stay away from Retinol products if you have sunburnt, damaged, easily irritable/inflamed, or sensitive skin. Additionally, pregnant, breastfeeding, and lactating women should avoid it at all costs.

3. What are the dos and don’ts while using Retinol?

DO's
- Start slowly: Using Retinol initially can cause your skin to get irritated. It is recommended to use it twice a week.
- Moisturize: Since using Retinol can cause dry and flaky skin, using a hydrating moisturizer can help the skin stay supple.
- Use it only at night: Retinol can increase your skin's sensitivity to UV radiation, which can result in sun damage, inflammation, and redness of the skin. To prevent photosensitivity, it would be better to use your Retinol serum solely at night.

DONT's
- Don't pair it with other active ingredients - Combining AHA and BHA can be extremely drying and irritate the skin because they both exfoliate the skin, like Retinol. Lastly, don’t use it with Vitamin C as it’s more effective when used separately from Retinol.
- Don't skip sunscreen - Since Retinol is a photosensitive ingredient, your best option for protecting against harmful UV rays is to apply sunscreen with a high SPF because Retinol makes your skin susceptible to sun damage.
- Don't use it during pregnancy - Retinol usage is strongly discouraged during pregnancy as it may cause problems for the fetus.

4. Should you leave Retinol overnight?

Yes, you can leave Retinol overnight. Cell turnover is at its highest in the evening, which is the best time for rest and repair. This helps in intensifying its effectiveness.

5. How does Foxtale’s Retinol Serum reduce dark spots and an uneven skin tone?

Our Encapsulated Retinol promotes healthy cell turnover, diminishing the appearance of dark spots and patches.

6. At what age should I start using Retinol Serum?

For all our skincare beginners, your skin starts to age in its 20s as the cell turnover rate slows down. Skincare workhorse Retinol helps promote a healthy cell regeneration process by boosting collagen production. So, if you wish to steer clear of early signs of skin ageing like fine lines and wrinkles, start using Retinol in your 20s.

7. How should I use Foxtale’s Retinol Serum?

If you are new to Retinol, start with a pea-sized amount of our Retinol-based serum and gently pat it on your face. Once the serum is completely absorbed by the skin, apply a thin even layer of the Hydrating Moisturizer.

8. Can I use the Retinol Night Serum with Hyaluronic Acid?

Definitely. For extremely dry and flaky skin, we recommend applying a layer of Hyaluronic Acid first. Once the serum is completely dry, slather a pea-sized amount of Retinol onto your skin.

9. What is the best Retinol Serum to improve my skin texture?

Formulated with Encapsulated Retinol, Foxtale’s Night Serum softens ageing lines (re: fine lines and wrinkles), encourages healthy cellular turnover to reveal smooth skin and flattens acne bumps and eruptions.

10. Why is Foxtale’s Retinol Anti-Ageing Serum safe for beginners?

Foxtale’s innovative formula uses Encapsulated Retinol that seeps deep within the skin and breaks open – avoiding skin purging altogether and making it beginner-friendly.

Absolutely. The star ingredient Retinol in the serum prevents clogged pores, preventing acne.

15. Can I use Foxtale’s Retinol Serum in the morning?

We recommend using the Retinol face serum before bed for the following reasons

Your skin or lipid barrier is more permeable at night. This ensures better efficacy of your treatments or serums.

Your skin has a circadian rhythm that prioritizes repair and rejuvenation at nighttime. Topical application of Retinol around this time aids this process. It helps shed dead cells and debris to generate healthy skin cells.

Topical application of Retinol can make your skin sensitive to sun exposure. Another reason why we recommend applying Retinol at night.

16. Will the Retinol Anti Ageing Serum dry out my skin?

No. Foxtale’s innovative Retinol Serum contains Betaine and Kokum Butter that seal your skin’s moisture content. It ensures soft, supple skin around the clock.

17. How should I store this serum with Retinol?

Since Retinol is prone to decay by oxidization, you can refrigerate the serum. Otherwise, store it in a cool, damp place without direct sunlight.

18. Can I combine Vitamin C with Foxtale’s Retinol Serum?

Absolutely. Vitamin C with Retinol works on several underlying concerns. They soften the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet by boosting Collagen in your skin cells. The combo also works exceptionally to reduce dark spots and patches for an even skin tone.

19. Can I use Foxtale’s AHA BHA Exfoliating Serum and Retinol Serum on the same night?

No. You don’t need to wash off the Retinol Serum after waking up in the morning.

22. How can I make the most of my Retinol Serum?

Here are some ways to make the most of your Retinol Serum.

Start With A Gentle Cleanser: To facilitate better absorption of the serum, ensure thorough cleansing first. We recommend Foxtale’s Hydrating Face Wash with Hyaluronic Acid for the job.

Seal The Treatment With A Moisturizer: All efforts for great skin are futile if you skip moisturizer. This formula locks in the treatment (Retinol, in this case) and hydration for optimal results.

23. What is the best way to apply a serum with Retinol?

If you are new to the active ingredient, take a pea-sized amount of the serum and dab it onto your skin. Avoid aggressive rubbing as it may cause strain or stress.

24. Can Retinol make my skin glow?

Retinol aids the cell renewal process and minimizes texture (fine lines, acne and more) for even, radiant skin.

25. AHA BHA Exfoliating Serum or Retinol – which one should I use?

AHA BHA and Retinol Serum have similar functions. Use our Retinol Serum

Now, you can reap the many benefits of Retinol without worrying about purging! Foxtale presents an innovative Retinol-based serum for your vanity.

Moreover, the serum contains Betaine and Kokum Butter that ensure long-lasting moisturization for your skin’s soft, supple appearance.

Your Nighttime Skincare Routine With Foxtale’s Retinol Serum

Retinol is best used at night. It helps shed the unwarranted buildup on the dermis to cue healthy cellular turnover while you get some shut eye. We recommend following this step-by-step guide for optimal results.

1. Cleanse: Use a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, grime and impurities from the pores. If you have dry or sensitive skin, we recommend our Hydrating Face Wash. The efficient formula contains Hyaluronic Acid and Red Algae Extract that improve your skin’s capacity to hold water. Alternatively, for oily or sensitive skin, you can use Foxtale’s Acne Control Face Wash with Salicylic Acid. The star ingredient in the cleanser dissolves excess oil and dead cells for a smooth, clean canvas.

2. Treat: Once your skin is dry, take a pea-sized amount of Foxtale’s Retinol Serum and apply it to your face. Be cautious around sensitive areas like the eyes and mouth. We recommend dabbing the formula instead of rubbing it onto the dermis. If you are new to the active ingredient, start by conducting a patch test on the neck.

3. Moisturize: Wait a couple of minutes to apply a generous layer of moisturizer to your skin. The step helps lock in the treatment for optimal results. If your skin is dry, we recommend using the Hydrating Moisturizer by Foxtale. It contains Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Olive Oil and Ceramides that replenish your skin’s moisture bank. For oily skin or combination skin, try our Oil Free Moisturizer STAT. The lightweight formula reduces sebum production, acne and inflammation while ensuring multi-level moisturization.

4. Sunscreen, next day: Don’t forget to wear sunscreen the following morning. Retinol treatment can make your skin sensitive (varies from person to person) to sun exposure. To prevent skin concerns, apply two fingers’ worth of SPF. For dry skin, we recommend our superlative Dewy Sunscreen with D-Panthenol and Vitamin E. On the other hand, for oily skin, we suggest the Mattifying Sunscreen with Niacinamide.
