Happy Sunday! It’s been a minute since I last shared a skincare review here and I’m back with one that I’m L-O-V-I-N-G! Biossance is a brand that has been on my radar for a while as I know they are one of the most sustainable and clean skincare brands out there. Specifically, among the squalane oil product craze, Biossance uses plant-based squalane while others are sourced from sharks.
Today, I’m sharing two Biossance products that I was recently sent. The first, a Squalane + Phyto-Retinol Serum that aims to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and the second, a Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream, which visibly lifts, firms and smooths the look of skin.
As always, see below for what I’m loving and the watch-outs.
What I Loved: Both of these products are winners! Let’s start with the eye cream, if you’ve been reading my reviews over the last few months, you know that I’m a fan of products that I can feel working almost immediately. This eye cream is one of those products (and in 7 days you’ll actually start to see fine lines start to disappear). As soon as you put this cream on you feel your skin tightening in a really satisfying way. In addition to the tightening effect, the cream is also extremely lucious which is definitely a reason enough for me to slather it on before I go to bed and each morning before makeup.
After the eye cream, it’s time for the serum. This serum isn’t like other serums. I’m used to serums with an oil consistency and this one was actually creamy, which was very exciting for someone who can sometimes have oily skin (🙋🏻♀️). In addition to reducing fine lines and wrinkles, this product has also been helpful in evening out my skin tone (especially in the Summer when it is a constant struggle).
The Watch Outs: The only thing wrong with this product is the price tag. While I’m 100% a fan of getting what you pay for, it’s hard to splurge on a $54 eye cream or a $72 serum when there are so many other great products on the market. While I will likely buy this product myself (it’s addictive), I’ll likely go for the travel-sized portions (~$29).
