The Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil ($72; sephora.com) is a very luxurious, hydrating facial oil that I’ve been using for a few weeks now. Here’s my take on how it works with my skincare routine. Its a slightly thick, non-sticky oil that I use maybe 3-4 times a week alone and sometimes underneath a moisturizer. It has a very faint floral scent that is completely gone once the oil sinks in. While I won’t call this a dry oil, it does sink in fast and doesn’t leave my face feeling greasy. Its quite a lovely oil for this time of the year when you don’t want something too heavy, yet want a light layer of moisture underneath your skincare for added hydration. It is also a good one to wear under makeup since the finish is almost invisible and skin still feels quite soft to the touch. I did have to use this for at least 2-3 weeks to see the effect - is not something you’d see instantly and it works better when you are consistent with it in your skincare routine. It balances my skin well, brightens and moisturizes without feeling heavy or greasy. Overall, a very good oil for normal-dry skin types in need of a good hydration boost. Skin does feel more plump, even toned and soft with consistent use.
