Skincare Empties #35

While collecting skincare, haircare, bodycare empties I always form a firm opinion whether I will repurchase the empty or not. Also, I kept on delaying this blog post as I was waiting for products to empty one after the other and it just kept on continuing. So without much delay now let’s see what all products I have emptied and whether I will repurchase them or not.

Foxtale Oil free moisturizer
This is a basic moisturizer that hydrates your skin. I used it the for the longest period for some 6 months since it a huge tub of 100gms. I prefer using this especially when I double cleanse since my skin is already plump and I just need to hydrate it. The fragrance fades away as you use the product regularly. Many people say that Foxtale products are good sans the fragrance. And yes I agree to it, only if they could reduce the fragrance they add. Anyway, I have already repurchased this moisturizer.

Quench Botanics Cleansing Balm
The best cleansing balm for oily, combination acne prone skin. It emulsifies so beautifully and gives a squeaky clean feeling without any greasiness. It does have fragrance, but eventually you get used to it. I don’t think I will repurchase this balm, since I have already found my favourite cleansing oils plus this is little pricey.

Foxtale Salicylic Acid Face Wash
Foxtale Salicylic acid face wash took me by surprise and I enjoyed using it during the summers and monsoons. It reduces the oiliness perfectly and reduced acne too. Plus it can double up as a body wash too. I will repurchase it for next summers.

Deconstruct Fluid Brightening Sunscreen
Deconstruct sent me this sunscreen when it was newly launched and the product keeps up to the claims of brightening effect and suits normal, dry skin types. However, combination and oily skin can use during winters too. It was very hydrating sunscreen and used to sweat during summers so I waited to use it in monsoons. I don’t think I will purchase this anytime soon.

Foxtale Retinol Night Serum
A very beginner friendly retinol serum that perfectly suits oily, acne prone skin. It gives visibly plumping and brightening effect to the skin with regular use. It took me a very long time to empty this product as one can’t use retinol everyday. Pregnant and lactating mothers should stay away from retinol products.

Pure Bubbles Barrier Reset Gel Moisturizer
I don’t know why this brand doesn’t seem popular yet amongst the Instagram skincare enthusiasts. They make some beautiful moisturizers and serums. I will be sure to repurchase this moisturizer sometime in 2025.

Rustic Art Aloe Vera Gel
If you are a regular reader of my blog you will know I am using this aloe gel since many years. I have emptied many jars and will continue to repurchase this aloe gel.

Plum Squalane Sunscreen
I regularly use this sunscreen as this one has new age UV filters. I already have a backup and am about to empty another tube soon. The sunscreen gives a good matte finish and hydrates at the same time. Plus buying it from Plum website makes it a really affordable one to use on a regular basis.

Aqualogica Oil Free Moisturizer
I had received this moisturizer in my Nykaa Pink love sale PR box. I absolutely didn’t like the moisturizer as it doesn’t hydrate or moisturize the skin. I experienced some whiteheads after using this moisturizer.

That’s it for the empties that I have collected. I will be posting another empties blog post soon as I already have some products that will empty in a week or so. Till then happy skincare!
