Sunscreens hold a special corner in my heart and in my skincare routine and seeing Foxtale everywhere on the Internet, I decided to try out this Brand through their Foxtale Dewy Sunscreen.
If there is anything I like about my beauty blog it is my product reviews. I pour my heart out, good – bad everything. That is the reason my product reviews are the most loved articles on my website. I have been thinking of giving Foxtale skincare a try for some time but a part of me never really felt my 100% towards it.
I have been seeing Foxtale skincare products everywhere on Instagram and even my nearby mall had a beautiful setup of the Brand Foxtale. I really wanted to try something but at the same time, I didn’t want to hurt my highly sensitive eczema-prone skin.
I opened Nykaa and started scrolling through Foxtale products and the first thing I see is Foxtale Vitamin C serum. I am always excited about Vitamin C Serums but the moment I opened the review section, everyone was highly disappointed by it. So I made up my mind it was better to skip this one and decided to get myself their dewy sunscreen.
This was the first time I used SPF70 sunscreen and being someone with allergic dryness, DEWY sunscreen was the perfect option for me.

Review – Foxtale Dewy Sunscreen SPF 70 PA++++
My Skin Type: Sensitive and acne-prone skin with a history of eczema and allergic-atopic dryness.
Packaging: It comes in a long-tube-shaped bottle with a pump nozzle secured by a cover. The bottle is blended in a completely yellow color and all their products carry a theme of different colors for different products. I find the packaging is safe to travel with and offers a mess-free application.
Fragrance: It is mildly scented with super soft notes. The fragrance did not irritate my senses or trigger any allergies.
My Experience with Foxtale Dewy Sunscreen
I started with sunscreen by using a two-finger amount after I am done with my morning skincare routine which is basically just a moisturizer at the moment and occasionally Klairs Supple toner. I am currently using Cetaphil Moisturizer as it works best for my allergic dryness.
I start by dotting the Foxtale sunscreen all over my face and neck and gently massaging it until it gets absorbed. The texture is lightweight and offers a soft-creamy consistency.
I found it easy to spread and massage and I did not experience any tackiness or white cast. Post application, I noticed the sunscreen leaving a beautiful glow without any heaviness or stickiness. I was kind of impressed by the Foxtale sunscreen at this point. I mean a dewy sunscreen, offering a glowy look, that too without being greasy? Nice! – So far, so good!
That being said, even though the texture and consistency are light and easy on the skin, I won’t suggest this to anyone other than dry skin. It is not heavy, but ideal for dry skin only.
After a few hours, I noticed that the sunscreen was coming off in peels when I slightly rubbed my face around my jawline or eyebrows. A slight rub and tiny peels were there on my fingers. I literally had to dust my face off to get rid of any peels sitting on my face. I continued with the sunscreen and there were days when it did not result in peeling at all. I had no idea why it peeled off in the first place.
A few days later, I started noticing my face looking dull and I figured out it was the Foxtale sunscreen that was causing the dullness. A similar issue that I experienced with Dr.Sheiths Sunscreen. I still continued with the application and just like peeling off the sunscreen, the dullness occurred on an ON and OFF basis.
I stuck to the sunscreen even though it already started to disappoint me but the issues weren’t persistent so I kept using it until I started feeling a slight itch right after application. Now this was alarming but I also introduced The Ordinary Skin Barrier Repair serum at that point so I wasn’t exactly sure who was the culprit.
I stopped using the serum to completely focus on the Foxtale Sunscreen and soon I started spotting redness peeking through my skin which was a sign of not enough sun protection for me. I stepped out for my morning walk for the first time with Foxtale Dewy sunscreen on and started feeling a little itch around spots on my face. I was constantly scratching around my eyebrows, eyes, and high points of my cheek where I often experience a flare-up when my skin is triggered.
I realized Foxtale Dewy Sunscreen wasn’t offering me enough sun protection though that was quite surprising as this was the sunscreen with SPF 70 ++++.

Either the Foxtale sunscreen did not offer enough sun protection or the formulation didn’t really work through my sensitive skin as in the end, there was redness and itchiness.
This was a moment of disappointment for me as I really liked the lightweight texture and cute packaging of the sunscreen but unfortunately, it did not pass for me.
There are a lot of great reviews from people on Nykaa and Amazon who were looking for a dewy sunscreen but a few also experienced redness similar to mine. If you are one with sensitive skin or atopic dryness and get easily burned under the skin, this might not be your best option.

I was this close to reaching out for a possible collaboration so that I could experience Foxtale skincare and share my reviews but I decided to skip that and buy one for myself. There is a possibility of other Foxtale Skincare products being really good but this kind of experience sets an impression.
Final Thoughts
Foxtale Dewy Sunscreen Review – Unfortunately, Foxtale Dewy Sunscreen did not work out for me. I liked the lightweight texture initially but it started peeling soon after application and also resulted in the dullness. I started experiencing itching upon application with regular usage and noticed my skin turning red at some points, resulting in either not enough sun protection or the formula not working for my sensitive eczema-prone skin. The only thing I liked about this sunscreen was, it gives a beautiful dewy appearance without being heavy or sticky on the skin.
Pros
- Lightweight
- No heaviness or stickiness
- No white cast
- Easy to massage in
- Ideal for dry skin only
Cons
- Resulted in dullness
- Faced slight itchiness upon application
- Redness started peeking through with the regular application
- Either not enough sun protection or formula did not work for my sensitive-eczema skin
