Retinol is an extremely potent active ingredient that provides anti-ageing benefits. But it’s an unstable molecule that can easily break down and remain on the surface of the skin only, making it deliver slow results and increasing the risk of irritation or purging.
There wasn’t a Retinol serum that could deliver results fast and would protect you from purging. Hence, we had to create India’s safest retinol.
Enter Encapsulated Retinol - a technology that encloses the Retinol molecule in a protective barrier and delivers it to deeper layers of skin where it’s activated, making it more effective and safe than regular Retinol serums. So you can protect your skin’s youthful radiance without compromising on safety.

FAQs
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.
11. Does Retinol work well for oily or acne-prone skin?
Yes. Retinol helps prevent clogged pores by exfoliating dead cells, debris, and residue buildup – a good fit for folks with oily or acne-prone skin.
