Best Foxtale Products for Oily Skin
4 Foxtale picks that actually work on oily skin — ranked by editor rating, not by what the brand pushes hardest. Updated 2026.
Foxtale is the new-wave Indian indie skincare brand built around active ingredients, transparent labeling, and Instagram-friendly packaging. The Vitamin C Day Serum and Niacinamide are the heroes — they trade on the same chemistry-led energy as The Ordinary but with formulations tuned for Indian skin and Indian climate. Mid-tier pricing, distribution heavy on D2C and Nykaa.

7.8/10 · moisturizerSuper Glow Moisturizer
Foxtale's Super Glow Moisturizer is what happens when an Indian DTC brand decides to compete on formulation science rather than marketing noise — and at ₹799 (~$10), the value proposition is genuinely startling. The formula pairs ethyl ascorbic acid (a stable, water-soluble vitamin C derivative that brightens without oxidation issues) with niacinamide for tone correction, squalane for lightweight moisture, and a UV filter (DHHB) that provides incidental sun protection even though this isn't marketed as a sunscreen. The glow comes from a mineral luminizer complex — titanium dioxide, mica, and tin oxide create a soft-focus radiance that photographs beautifully. Oligopeptide-68 is an interesting inclusion: it's a melanin-modulating peptide that works synergistically with the vitamin C to address hyperpigmentation at the cellular level. Açaí fruit oil and raspberry seed oil add antioxidant depth. The formula is heavier on silicones than some would prefer (caprylyl methicone, cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone), but that's what gives it the instant-skin-perfecting slip. For the price, this formula is embarrassingly competitive with products five to ten times more expensive.
