Inculcating a ceramide moisturizer in the skincare routine is a necessity with the regular use of chemical exfoliators. Additionally, finding a light weight, ceramide based moisturizer for oily skin is difficult. Today am going to pen down the review of one such light weight, ceramide based moisturizer. Let’s check the Foxtale ceramide moisturizer experience.

Packaging, Texture and Fragrance
The product has sleek, airless, pump packaging. Previously the product was in tube form and after feedback from many customers they changed it to pump packaging. Pump packaging is very easy to travel with. The product has a rich, creamy texture and runny consistency. It has amazing, mild fragrance that doesn’t linger much and is absolutely pleasant. The moisturizer has an ultra white colour and gets absorbed into the skin quickly.
My experience with Foxtale Ceramide Moisturizer
Foxtale Ceramide Moisturizer is indeed a good and deeply moisturizing one. It is designed to nourish, deeply moisturize, repair and rejuvenate the skin. Formulated with Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Hydrogenated Olive Oil Unsaponifiables it contains skin-barrier strengthening 3 types of ceramides. I usually make it a point to include it in my evening routine just twice a week. Whenever I feel my skin is having small bumps due to salicylic acid serum or post face shaving I use this one in the morning too. It instantly makes the skin smooth and soft and restores the skin barrier.
The moisturizer has a stunning smooth texture that is fast absorbing, quick spreading and light yet hydrating and moisturizing. For my oily skin, I don’t need much quantity to achieve soft, supple plump skin. The pump packaging dispenses just the right amount of quantity. For my oily skin one or two pumps are enough.
I am not a fan of skincare layering and I definitely don’t layer up this one. It may layer up easily with other products if you have dry skin. I would say if you are looking for a change in your ceramide moisturizer then do try this one. I would highly recommend the product and am pretty sure your skin will like this product.

Summing Up
Foxtale ceramide moisturizer helps in maintaining the skin’s barrier healthy while nourishing the skin. It has a creamy yet light weight texture that easily sinks into the skin. Although the product doesn’t have any greasiness I wouldn’t advice to use it on a daily basis as it may increase the whiteheads for oily skin. Since the product is very hydrating and moisturizing in nature it settles into the pores as well. So please make sure to double cleanse or if use any chemical exfoliator so that whiteheads won’t be a problem. There are a not a lot of options for oily skin when it comes ceramide based moisturizers, but this is definitely the one.
