Skincare lovers, take note! There’s a new serum making waves, Foxtale’s 5% Niacinamide Brightening Serum. Promising oil balance, a radiant glow, and makeup-boosting performance, the question is: does it deliver? We asked beauty creator Asmita, who tested it for a week here’s her honest take.
Why This Serum Stands Out
This isn’t just another niacinamide product. It’s crafted to be both a skincare booster and a makeup ally:


- 5% niacinamide helps even skin tone, minimize pores, and reduce redness.
- Lightweight, gel-serum texture absorbs instantly—no stickiness.
- Preps skin for makeup, acting like an invisible grip under foundation.
- Hydrating without heaviness—ideal for combination and oily types.
Asmita’s First-Hand Experience
After using the serum every morning for a week, here’s what she shared:
“The texture is silky and absorbs immediately—no pilling under SPF or foundation. On day three, I did a full outdoor shoot, and my makeup didn’t budge even once. Usually, it starts to melt in the heat, but not this time!”
By day five, subtle skin improvements were noticeable:
“Redness around my nose calmed down, and a few forehead bumps flattened. My skin looked more even and felt smoother—even makeup-free.”
Key Benefits Worth Noting
- Primer-like effect: Keeps makeup in place for hours.
- Gentle glow: Adds a fresh sheen without looking dewy or oily.
- Skin health boost: Helps reduce redness and smooth texture.
- Budget-friendly: Works for both skincare newbies and makeup pros.
How to Use It (For Best Results)
- Apply 2–3 drops on clean, damp skin in the morning.
- Let it absorb, then follow with SPF and makeup.
- Use consistently—morning or night—for best glow.
- Ideal for layering under moisturizers or primers.
Final Take
If you’re looking for a serum that combines skin-smoothing benefits with makeup longevity, Foxtale’s 5% Niacinamide Brightening Serum hits the mark. Glide-on texture, real results, and a makeup-friendly finish make it a standout. As Asmita sums it up:
“It quietly works—making my makeup last longer and my skin look better. A solid addition to my routine.”
