Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil Review
If you're looking for a good facial oil, you'll want to keep reading! Today we'll be reviewing the Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil in-depth.
Quick facts:
Formulation: alcohol-free, mineral oil free, synthetic fragrance free, paraben free, PEG free, phthalates free, sulfates free, non-toxic, vegan, cruelty-free
Texture: A light oil that absorbs easily into the skin
Scent: Very light and fresh smell with delicate hints of roses
Where to buy: Sephora, Biossance
Price: $74 USD for full size or $40 for mini travel size
I purchased the Biossance Rapid Radiance set here for $35 so I could try a few of their products all at once. More about the other products below!
Main pros: I love how this oil isn't too sticky or thick. The texture is perfect and it smells wonderful. I usually use it as the last step in my nighttime routine and it does a great job of sealing everything in and keeping the skin super plump!
Cons: Anytime vitamin C is in a transparent bottle like this - it is likely not very effective. I haven't seen much brightening effects from using this oil, mostly only using it for its moisturizing properties.
My verdict: 7/10. It's a "clean" facial oil blend with a great texture and does a good job at keeping the skin moisturized and I wake up feeling super supple whenever I use it at nighttime.
About the Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil
This product is supposed to provide "a trifecta of visible results—brightening, firming, and hydration—with this luxuriously lightweight vitamin C oil. Our oil-soluble, shelf-stable vitamin C is a potent brightener and elasticity booster. Chios crystal oil firms and revitalizes to give your skin a youthful bounce back, while squalane locks in much-needed moisture. Our damascus rose petal extract calms and soothes, leaving behind a soft, natural scent."
It has claims for:
Increasing skin radiance by improving tone and texture
Boosting skin firmness and suppleness
Instantly hydrating and protects the skin from moisture loss
I can attest to it instantly hydrating and moisturizing the skin (and when I wake up the next day my skin does feel more supple)! I haven't personally seen the improvement of tone and texture, but maybe also because I am using the mini size at the moment :).

- Apply a few drops onto clean skin during both your morning and night time routines.
- Best to use after applying your serum and moisturizer to lock in longer lasting hydration.

Can I use rose oil on my face daily?
Rose oil is rich in natural vitamins and minerals that can promote healthy moisture levels for your skin. Using just a few drops of rose oil daily can help to strengthen your skin's barrier and protect your skin from drying out.
