Not getting the same results from your favorite serum anymore? Dermatologists say that switching to an antioxidant-rich serum or facial oil may be in your skin’s best interest. That’s because antioxidants have a restorative and brightening effect on the skin. They help combat and neutralize any damage caused by free radical exposure, which often includes common skincare woes like dryness, dullness, clogged pores, and inflammation, dermatologist Dr. Dendy Engelman tells SheFinds. She notes that it’s not uncommon for free radicals, and environmental stressors to leave fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots behind, too. “Think of antioxidants like vitamins for the complexion,” Mollie Jensen, Biossance’s Senior Sustainability & Compliance Manager, tells SheFinds. “If you replenish your skin with antioxidants every day, they nourish and help keep it healthy looking and glowing.”

Need a good antioxidant serum recommendation? We think that the Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil can help! We’re not the only ones that love it–Sephora shoppers are calling it the best brightening facial oil because of its effective and fast-working formula.

What Is Squalane?

As the oil's name suggests, Squalane is one of the main ingredients at work in the Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil. This buzzworthy skincare ingredient is a colorless poly-unsaturated hydrocarbon liquid that’s found naturally in many animals and plants, which is needed to lubricate and protect the cells. 

So, what is it doing in your skincare products? Turns out the natural lipid is a highly-effective emollient and natural antioxidant. "It maintains skin's moisture barrier and hydration, and is also an antioxidant that has anti-aging properties for neutralizing environmental damage," dermatologist Rachel Nazarian, MD, tells Health

Not only does squalane make for a great skin moisturizer, but it also has to potential to smooth fine lines, too. The more hydrated your skin is, the less prominent wrinkles, and dry patches will be.

Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil Reviews 

"I've been using this product since January and it has improved texture, dark spots and overall appearance of my 40 year old skin. I need only two drops morning and night to press into my skin. This bottle is still going strong and we are in May..Definitely worth the price point!" - nikkimuahtx

"I have tried many face oils in the past but was really wanted to try this as squalane is a natural compound produced by our bodies, I love rose oils, and certain vitamin C products work well for me. I have been using this oil for about 3 months... in the PM it's my final step in skin care (over chemical exfoliation and hydration serum) and in the AM I mix one drop of this with 3 drops of my AM face oil (currently Herbivore Lapis). It absorbs quickly and never leaves my face looking greasy. No breakouts as a result from using this oil...in fact, I've only had one breakout which I believe was due to a cream contour product. I credit my brighter, smoother and healthier looking skin mostly to this product. Other oils I've tried sold at Sephora: Josie Maran Argan oil (regular and light), Tarte Maracuja, Sunday Riley UFO, Sunday Riley Luna, Ole Henriksen Truth oil, Algenist anti-aging oil, Laura Mercier rose oil, Herbivore Lapis, Herbivore Phoenix, PTR Oilless Oil... this one truly tops them all!" - k617

"I love this oil. I'm 40, have combination skin and while I have liked using Sunday Riley's CEO Rapid Flash C serum, this one works better. It absorbs quickly, and my skin after a few days of use is smoother and brighter." - msaclaire
