Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream Review
If you're looking for your go-to night cream, you'll want to keep reading! Today we'll be reviewing the Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream.
Quick facts:
Formulation: alcohol-free, fragrance-free, essential oil-free, paraben-free, PEG free, phthalates free, sulfates free, non-toxic, vegan, cruelty-free
Texture: A lovely whipped, almost mousse like cream
Scent: Labeled as fragrant-free, however the natural ingredients formulate a naturally stronger scent - it almost smells straight up *fishy* to me.
Where to buy: Sephora, Biossance
If you're new to the brand then I recommend trying their Rapid Radiance Set from Sephora. That's the one I purchased and am reviewing!
Price: $60 USD full size, or $20 for mini travel size
Main pros: I LOVE the texture of this cream!! It smoothes on the skin so nicely and absorbs so well. Leaves skin feeling really hydrated and I love to layer the Biossance rose oil on top of this to seal everything in.
Cons: Why, why does it have to smell the way that it does? Maybe I got a dud but to me it just smells like it's either gone a bit rancid or just naturally a bit fishy. Please let me know in the comments if you've tried it and didn't have the same experience.
My verdict: 4/10. Love everything about it but the scent. Did not make it to the all time favourites list. I did like some of the other products I tried from them though, more about them below!

Can you leave squalane on overnight?
You'll typically spot squalane on the ingredient lists of moisturizers, yes, but also overnight masks, eye creams, and facial oils. Squalane can be used every morning and/or night and, because it's non-irritating, works well with other ingredients like acids and retinol.
My Final Thoughts: Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream Review Verdict
In short, if you can stand the scent of this product - then you'll love it for it's quality and function! But personally it did not make my all-time favourites list like the Biossance eye cream did (review here).
Let me know if you've found this review useful or if there's another product by Biossance you'd like me to review, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
