Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil

Product Information

Cultivating the universally adored benefits of vitamin C, the Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil dramatically brightens and firms your complexion, bestowing a healthy-looking radiance you won't be able to move on from. Bottom Line: A dark spot serum that combines 10% vitamin C with white shiitake mushroom and licorice root extract to fade dark spots and brighten the complexion. The only thing we don’t love about Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil is the inclusion of fragrance.

In addition to its powerful antioxidant activity, vitamin E helps the skin retain moisture by strengthening the skin’s barrier function. Squalane helps to replenish the skin’s lipid barrier. A strong, intact barrier is important to keep moisture in and keep things like allergens, bacteria, and irritants out. When the barrier is weakened, these intruders can pass through the top layer of skin, causing damage that ultimately leads to common skin conditions such as acne, rashes, sensitive skin, and even signs of aging. Taking her tip to heart, I went home and rummaged through the facial oils that were collecting dust on my vanity. After washing my face, I applied essence, serum, eye cream, moisturizer, and then lightly patted on a rosehip oil to seal it all in.The oil features a blend of vegan squalane, Damascus rose petal extract, Chios crystal oil, and a stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C. The oil is also fragrance-free and free of all harsh chemicals and fillers. About Biossance Biossance has made a name for themselves as one of the first companies to be able to create sugar-cane derived squalane. Squalane is actually refined squalene, but while these two ingredients sound incredibly similar, their origins differ quite a bit. While squalane is only sourced from plant-sources, squalene is actually only found in shark liver and up until recently, was the only method for obtaining either ingredient. Today however, with the advancements that Biossance has pioneered, products like the Biossance Peptide Eye Gel can safely and sustainably utilize this powerhouse ingredient to add weightless hydration and moisture to the skin. The peptide eye gel, as well as the other products in the Biossance line combine active ingredients alongside their sugar-cane derived squalane to create a uniquely effective yet gentle formula. This product in particular contains a blend of swiss apple stem cells, eyeseryl, argireline to help to visibly brighten the under eye area while also minimizing the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. With all of this in mind, we would recommend this type of product to those of you who are looking for a potent and effective eye gel that is gentle enough for those with more delicate or fragile skin.

In our opinion, Biossance products are worth the money, but there are other brands that deliver greater value. For example, a 2019 study published in the British Academy of Dermatology compared bakuchiol and retinol in a head-to-head 12-week, double-blind clinical trial on human subjects. Bottom Line: Biossance Squalane Oil is a multitasking oil that can be used on your face, body, and hair to moisturize and protect. There’s also vitamin E in this repair cream, which functions as a potent antioxidant to protect skin from free radical damage. Together, these ingredients help to comfort dry, chapped, and/or irritated hands for immediate relief while boosting radiance for dewy, healthy-looking skin without adding shine.

The final brightening ingredient in this dark spot serum is licorice root extract, one of the best naturally-derived ingredients for hyperpigmentation. I love a good facial oil. But I didn't always use the stuff. Mostly due to the fact that I didn't know how to use them. Plus, as someone who has combination skin with a touch of sensitivity, I always followed the notion that oil equaled more oil(-y skin).
