Foxtale 0.15% Retinol Night Serum, 30ml

The Foxtale 0.15% Retinol Night Serum uses Encapsulated Retinol technology  the retinol molecule is enclosed in a micro-capsule that bursts open only after penetrating deep into the skin, bypassing the surface sensitivity reaction and delivering the active where anti-ageing action occurs. This eliminates the purging, peeling, and photosensitivity that make conventional retinol inaccessible for most Indian skin. The 0.15% concentration is the beginner-friendly dose that builds retinol tolerance progressively. Night use only retinol increases photosensitivity and aligns with the skin's nocturnal repair cycle. Dermatologist-tested. Foxtale built this as the entry point for Indian consumers beginning their first retinol routine without fear.

When to use

Late 20s to 30s Anti-Ageing and Acne
Reach for this when managing both early fine lines and recurring breakouts simultaneously retinol is one of the few actives clinically proven for both concerns.

For the ceramide moisturiser that seals the skin barrier above the retinol serum every night, a ceramide nourishing moisturiser layers above the absorbed retinol to replenish moisture and support the barrier through the adaptation period.

Q1. Why is Foxtale Retinol suitable for Indian beginners?

Encapsulated Retinol at 0.15% activates only deep in the skin, bypassing the surface sensitivity reaction that conventional retinol causes. Indian consumers who abandoned retinol due to purging will find this significantly more tolerable. For the oil balancing moisturiser that maintains sebum control alongside the retinol routine, a oil control moisturiser pairs with the retinol serum for a complete oily Indian skin anti-ageing routine.

Q2. Can I use this with other Foxtale serums?

Do not combine with Vitamin C or AHAs/BHAs in the same step significant irritation risk. Niacinamide and HA work well alongside retinol. Use retinol at night, vitamin C in the morning. For the 12% niacinamide serum that supports barrier health against retinol-induced dryness, a niacinamide clarifying serum alternates evenings with retinol for oily skin types needing both pore control and anti-ageing.

Q3. How long before anti-ageing results show?

Improved texture and reduced acne in 4 to 6 weeks. Visible fine line reduction at 8 to 12 weeks. Significant structural anti-ageing improvement at 4 to 6 months. Retinol is a long-game active consistent nightly use without gaps delivers cumulative results. For the super glow moisturiser that maintains morning radiance while retinol works at night, a vitamin C glow moisturiser maintains daytime skin radiance during the retinol correction cycle.

Q4. Must I use SPF after using this serum?

Yes, SPF the following morning is non-negotiable. Retinol increases photosensitivity by accelerating cell turnover to reveal newer, more UV-vulnerable cells. Apply minimum SPF 50 every morning without exception. For the dewy finish SPF 70 that protects retinol-sensitised dry Indian skin, a dewy finish sunscreen provides maximum UV protection with a skin-comfortable finish above retinol-sensitised dry Indian skin.

Q5. Is this effective for both anti-ageing and acne?

Yes. Accelerated cell turnover clears dead cell-sebum plugs that form comedones while simultaneously revealing fresher cells and stimulating collagen. Particularly valuable for Indian consumers in their late 20s to 30s managing both concerns. For the vitamin C serum that handles daytime dark spot correction above the skin retinol improves at night, a vitamin C serum completes the round-the-clock treatment routine.
