Hello! Welcome back to another two-minute review!
Today’s post features the Biossance Squalene + Vitamin C Rose Oil. The Sephora website says it works well to help firmness and dryness, and it claims to work on all skin types. I have a free sample that is 0.15 ounces. However, it was pretty expensive. The 0.5-ounce mini is $52. Now I’m convinced that all oils are WAY too expensive, but I guess it’s because you’re not using as much in your routine, and companies need to make money. It’s also clean and vegan so if you’re into that, there you go.
It has lasted about 2-3 weeks since I only use it nightly. I use it to top off my moisturizer and seal it in. Just a reminder that I have combination skin (half oily and half dry/normal), so it may not reveal its benefits to me completely. Because of its ingredients, it helps to keep my skin tone even. It is lightweight, so I can imagine it being a good base for your foundation should you choose to wear any. It doesn’t have a smell (to me) initially, but since I sometimes confuse the order of my nighttime skincare, my tea tree oil gets into it. I use tea tree oil on my dark marks specifically, usually after I’ve sealed in my moisturizers for the night.
Overall, I’d give this oil a 3/5. It’s a little expensive for me to purchase a full size right now, but I think it helped to keep my skin moisture balanced throughout the night. It also didn’t burn or break me out and works well with my standard skincare items, so that’s a bonus if you spend $50 on an oil…

Have a beautiful day 🙂
