I’ve used biossance eye cream for 2 years. Very sensitive eyes & no issues with this. I’m 66 yo and have tried a lot of high end eye creams; so far, this is the best. Also the nite lactic acid treatment is excellent. I researched sqalane, after using The Ordinary products for a few years; when I read biossance had an eye cream with it (and algae a bonus) I immediately purchased the eye cream.....no regrets! Love the docs, great advice...and happy to hear they support my choices.😎
I’ve been using Biossance for about 6 months now and I love it. I love the products, I love the way my skin looks, and I love the way the products are sustainable and eco-friendly. Thanks for this video!
And I foresee all of our Biossance products now fly off of our shelves at work. Great video as usual!! Thank you! Now I wont feel bad about suggesting this to my customers.
I've had a cluster of textured bumps on my left cheek for years. I've gone to dermatologists and nothing has helped. I started using the Biossance Squalane about three weeks ago and I've already seen such a huge improvement that I ordered the larger size. Thanks, Biossance!!!
This is one of my favorite channels. I absolutely love Dr. Maxfield & Dr. Shah♥️♥️♥️They make me happy when I watch them. Their energy is amazing ♥️☺️♥️😘😘
I'd love a video about taking care of the skin on our bodies. I've noticed that the closer I get to my 40's I notice my skin is thinning. I also have crepe skin and I'm trying to manage my skin during weight loss.
I use the biossance lactid acid night serum, marine algae eye cream and their phyto retinol. I absolutely love all of them. Normally squalane breaks me out, but in their products it doesn't
@@mohamedfawzy9945 it's a retinol alternative. It does work, it just takes longer. It's really good for people that can't handle retinol. It's plant based-bakuchiol
I know 3 and there never on the same page when it comes to treatments and lot of money!!! These two dermatologist are GQ, up to date, fun to watch and so far there recommendations have been spot on with my skin care 🧚🏻♀️
You two rock so hard giving us your references. So legit. After wandering around sources, RU-vid, web, product websites, for actives info., I so appreciate your cited info and honesty.
Since I work at derm surg center I died laughing when you started talking about you both being Microscope Nerds.. My docs live at their Mircoscopes. Love you both! Much like I love my docs!
Been using the Biossance probiotic gel moisturizer, squalane oil and the probiotic toner and my skin is loving it!! So glad you took on the subject of squalane. I would love to hear your thoughts on fermented or probiotics in skincare. My skin is older and sensitive and the Biossance line has been a game changer!!
About a year ago I tried a Biossance Squalane product when I got a free sample. I was hooked-except when it came to the price. When I saw the title of this video I immediately thought "oh no, I hope I didn't fall for some kind of hype product..." I'm so glad to hear such good information on this product.
I just bought like 5 bottles of their jumbo sized sunscreen when it was on sale a couple days ago. Gives me no white cast. It’s hydrating (a tiny bit greasy) but with that PA+++ rating and no white cast, I’d be crazy to say this isn’t my favorite sunscreen of all time!!! I appreciate that they actually tell you the UVA protection which most manufactures don’t, and I respect that a lot. Thank you biossance!!!
I’m obsessed w their sunscreen, and have done a LOT of research looking for perfect everyday sunscreens. It’s a great product and I find myself going to it most often. Unless I need more than 30 spf.
Squalane oil broke me out like crazy. I used 100% squalane oil as the last step in my skincare routine and i got giant inflammed pimples for the next few days
I love Squalane!! This popped up while I was patting on my Biossance peptide eye serum. I first started using the Inkey List squalane and realized my skin loved it. Biossance came out with their sunscreen and when I ordered it I also got some of the minis of their other products and now I am sold. Ordering the minis is a great way to try out these products before you invest in the larger sizes. I am testing out the lactic acid from Biossance now and have purchased the large sizes of the eye serum and eye cream. If you like squalane order the Biossance minis and see what you think!!!!
@Megan Ossowski I have only used it twice trying to add it slowly once a week. I seem to tolerate well and thought it was great. Hopefully that continues...this is my first time to use lactic acid and have been using the PHA toner from IL 3-4 times a week so I think its a good step up.
A good broad brimmed hat and SPF clothing. The hat will protect your scalp which is very difficult to put sunscreen on and a very common place for skin cancer. ;-)
Yes sunscreen and a hat or anything to keep sun off your face. If you have oily skin which breaks out with regular sunscreen you can get it in a powder form - completely invisible, you just brush it on. You can also get organic sunscreen now which is good.
squalane is my holy grail face oil to shave with. TRY IT, you'll never go back. Biossance 100% sugarcane squalane is AMAZING..pretty much the only skincare item I splurge on at Sephora these days.
I received a sample of the Biossance Squalane +omega repair cream and loved the smoothness and gentleness of the cream. I am 69 yrs young and am trying to follow Dr. shaw’s pyramid for hyperpigmentation as well. I have very dry skin and have tried various moisturizers that also contains peptides. I will update you on the Biossance Squalane +Omega repair cream in a few weeks. BTW I and so grateful to the two of you for inspiring me on this journey of skincare at this stage of my love. Sending hugs for the two of you🙋🏻♀️
So happy this channel is taking off the way it is! Simple, professional and fun skincare education and advice. Thanks for everything. BTW would love to see reviews about naturium, best sunscreens, and a video about the best in office treatment for acne scars, cellulite and stretch marks. Thank you!
I love the ordinary’s squalane. It has such a Natural feel to it. And just is really nice on the skin. Very hydrating and it really does mimics skins natural oil production. So that’s why it feels really natural and not greasy and oily
Excellent video! I have most products from Biossance. I use the algae eye cream every night and it has made a huge difference in my fine lines and use the eye gel during the day. The marine algae cream is stunning! The only product I'm not too crazy about is the sunscreen. It's a bit greasy for me. This brand is on the pricey side but they have good deals all the time.
Hi it's nice to see eye creams not getting a bad review from Doctors on youtube. I like using an eye cream, as the skin around my eye has a need for a different texture to my facial skin. I have very dry, menopausal, rosacea and eczema prone skin and need rich creams for my face, neck and chest. Despite also having very dry skin around my eyes, the skin there is thinner and needs a slightly lighter texture to be comfortable. I'm careful to pick eye creams with decent INCI lists including a higher amount of peptides for daily use. At night I use a retinaldehyde eye cream, as the lower level of retinaldehyde in the eye product is better tolerated than a facial cream would be. I sometimes use a little balm at night on top, if my eyes feel super dry. I like squalane as an ingredient and even as a single ingredient oil. The oil can be added to moisturisers etc to boost the emollience on days where I'm extra dry. Best wishes.
Squalane has changed my skin! I noticed that all the products that worked for me had some form of squalane in it and now it's my favourite ingredient and got my fiance onto it 😍
The one “ingredient” that helped with my eyelid dermatitis (which *sucked*) was Aquaphor, lol. I was prescribed tacrolimus which burned and made me feel miserable. Aquaphor was occlusive enough that it let everything calm down.
THANK YOU Drs and BIOSSANCE!!! That eye cream is completely worth the hype- very first application almost all of my wrinkles smoothed out, skin soft . Can’t wait to see difference after a month.
Thanks for teaching me so much about one of my favorite ingredients! I've never tried Biossance but now I want that eye cream, and I never thought I'd buy an eye cream. You guys are the best!
I have been using this brand for over a year and I just love it! My sking completely changed for good. My morning routine is totally with Biossance and at night, I conviene a couple of The ordinary products. I love your videos! Thank you ❤
The reasons limonene, linalool etc are listed on any product, is not because they have been added separately but because they have exceeded the non- declarable amount allowed in skincare. They are potential allergens contained in those plant extracts/essential oils etc further up the ingredients list, so people who know they are sensitive to these ingredients are made aware this product contains over the non-declarable least irritating/sensitising amount. It’s a compliance regulation required in some countries, depending on where they are made or exported to.
I just discovered this channel and video. I LOVE it. I am actually allergic to squalane. I have Ehlers-Danlos and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. One of my huge flares was caused by squalane in biossance. I’m the Murphy’s Law of people. Of course there are no documented cases of squalane allergies in the literature…
I just bought the biossance sqaulane oil last week and have been loving it. i literally use it head to toe. My hair is loving it.. Im in lockdown so i like that its light and doesn't make my acalp feel oily. Also have been enjoying using it with my Gua sha
Love that lactic acid night serum along with their Squalane BHA toner! Vitamin C serum AND both their probiotic gel/omega repair cream! my sensitive combo skin is obsessed with this brand 😩 my skin has never looked better! Thank you for this breakdown of Squalane now I know why my skin loves it!
I bought the Biossance squalane + marine algae eye cream and my skin absolutely loves it. It feels so rich and luxurious going on, and it quickly absorbs into my skin versus every other eye cream I’ve used. It’s my first Biossance purchase and intrigued by their entire squalane product line
Love the clarification about squalane and the energy that bounces off you two. Oh and that you make me laugh….and yourselves!! 🤣🤣 Laughing and learning perfect!!
No, the quality of Squalane does not somehow increase the more expensive it is. Check the expensive product to see if it has additional additives like extra emollients (e.g. caprylic triglycerides) or anti-aging ingredients (e.g. vitamin C, peptides). Those additives may be why a company feels justified in up-charging so much for their Squalane.
I purchased their eye cream because I believe you mentioned on one of your videos. I’m so happy I did, I can see a big improvement! On to the night serum! Thank you. I love your videos, I have three daughters and have shared with them!
Thanks guys, can't wait to see your video and thoughts on eye creams!!! I do hope that in that video you'll go over what ingredients you should and shouldn't use around the eye area also 😊
Thank goodness Dr. Shah had dermatitis on his eyelids because I just got the best skin care tip on when to apply eye cream! I never knew I should apply it before serums/skincare. Thank you!
I love this video! It answered so many questions I had and I loved the recommendations of products I haven’t had my eye on yet. I’ve been slowly adding more Biossance products to my skincare routine and am noticing a huge difference in my skin already. Currently using their eyecream and sunscreen. I’ll be purchasing the phyto-retinol during their next sale for sure!
I have loved this ingredient for YEARS and will buy a product if this is in it because my skin calms down with this in the mix...Thank you for this helpful information!
I developed skin allergy in my late 20s to many sunscreens and had skin had a sensitivity test done ( in Thailand) and one of the ingredients I was most allergic to was squalene , it may be rare but may still happen
I feel like this might have been what happened to me. Most products I’ve tried with this ingredient in it I get postules and burning. But never really in a product without it. 🧐🧐
Thank you for the answer as to why Squalene can clog pores and Squalane does not!! Very interesting. I’ve always wondered what is the reason Squalene isn’t used since our bodies produce it.
Thank you. I have purchased some and it was derived from olives. I threw it out a couple of month ago because it actually felt like it irritated my face. I am going to try this and the eye cream.
HOLY MOLY!!!! What IS IN that eye cream!? I mean, WHOA. All eye creams irritate me, I mean even the most expensive and most "non-irritating" ones. My skin is hypersensitive (and that's an understatement). So this eye cream, not only does NOT irritate or burn my eyes at ALL, but it IMMEDIATELY and quickly takes down ALL swelling (which I swell around my eyes a lot) and dark circles are GONE like magic. What kind of witchery? LOL! I swear, no one paid me to say this. I just received several products today that I had purchased (after watching this) and I am BLOWN AWAY. I really LOVE the eye cream and I bought one of the moisturizers (not greasy at all, I break out easily too) It is not tacky (I hate tackiness or oiliness) Doesn't dilate my pores, which a lot of creams do. The eye cream also goes a long way, so I spread it our on my face too. The cleanser is OK, it's got fragrance, so I'm a little scared but it hasn't stung or anything. BUT holy mother of God, that eye cream. The doc is not joking when he says it's good! AND by the way, I have a collection of like 50 sunscreens. I can't use any of them b/c they irritate my neck and eye area. I got BIOSSANCE's and apparently, that also works for me b/c I can tell right off if something will burn. This is another FIRST for me! I will definitely keep buying this brand! Thank you, BIOSSANCE and thank you, Dr. Shah! Takes a lot to impress me. I'm impressed!
Hi guys! Just wondering if you have seen the complaints about the allergic reactions with the Biossance Squalane + 10% Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum. It seems like every other review on Sephora for this product is about a fairly severe allergic reaction. The pictures included in the reviews are wild. Based on the ingredient list, do you have any idea what could be causing it? Or a speculation at least? It’s rare to find SO many legitimate allergic reaction complaints on a single product so I’m really curious about the potential culprit.
I have very dry skin AND use Altreno (Tretinoin). I like squalane, but in some products, it just SITS on top of my skin (I’m looking at you Pipette mineral sunscreen😯). I actually buy bottles on squalane oil and pour it into my body moisturizer in the winter.
I'm kind of shocked.. Have l been lied to the last few years? Dr. Shah and Dr. Maxfield, could you please make a short video about it. I think many people would like to know more about your statement.
I use 100% squalene by minimalist which is available in India as my moisterizer. my skin type is combination acne prone type and it works very well for me my skin I glows I think squalene is one of the main reasons for that
I'm 53 with combo/dry skin with not a lot of signs of aging. I have tried so many eye creams I can't keep track. I'm going to try the Squalane Marine Algae Eye Cream. I have very high hopes after seeing their video.... I love and follow them.
Very informative video as always, but the following point that I have heard re-iterated before recently is one I cannot agree with: 'If you have no allergy to fragrance, it is fine to use it'. I am not sure this is completely justified, as you develop fragrance allergies - by - using products with fragrance in them. Therefore, the more you use products with fragrance, the higher the chances become that you will develop an allergy to them. As such, there - is - a problem with using fragrance in skincare, even if you are - not - allergic to them (yet). Given that most people that watch this channel are likely to have routines with actives in them that either exfoliate or increase skin cell turnover, or products with penetration enhancers in them, using a product with fragrance along with those will often cause the fragrances to penetrate deeper into the skin, further increasing the chances of developing an allergy. I think figuring out a skincare routine that doesn't cause more problems than the ones it solves is hard enough without adding the extra variable of a potential allergic contact dermatitis, and to be honest, I wish you guys weren't so casual about it lol. Feel free to disagree with me if this doesn't make sense!
Not going to disagree with you because it makes a lot of sense. I tend to agree with you (more cautious) and Dr. Maxfield leans towards the more relaxed side on this issue, which is nice to have two different view points on one channel! We’ve discussed fragrance in a lot more detail in our “controversies” video! You can certainly develop allergies to any ingredient no matter how long you’ve been using it, which is a common misconception for people, so I’m glad you pointed it out!
Their cleansers was my first oil cleanser and I love it hard. Very cool to learn more about the featured ingredient and also the company. Thanks again guys 💜💜
biossance resurfacing night serum with squalane and lactic acid is the best product ive ever used for my face!!!! Ever!!!! it helped with my acne, texture, color, pores, everything! I'll never go back
I really like the way you two explain skin care. I have never been into skin care and glad that i found this channel. Would really love to see more skin care videos and good products as well. If possible a review on supergoop products for spf will be highly appreciated.
I'm totally behind the "experience" of skincare. I'm fortunate enough to tolerate fragrance because if it smells bad I'm not using it 😅 Everytime I start slacking on my skincare routine your videos pop up 🙏 I sit down and rub serums and lotions on my face furiously while I watch the video 🤣 You got me curious about the eye cream. Have to try that, thanks for the recommendations!
Same. I like that version, haven’t tried any others though to compare. They really seem to be pushing the Biossance brand. Good information, either way, but like… are they sponsored? Lol
OMG!!!! I also get flair ups of eyelid dermatitis and recently bought this eye cream! Now that I hear you mention it helped yours I can't wait to try it!!!!
Thanks for this review! I had a lot of these questions! I'm really trying to learn about my skincare to use safe and effective ingredients, so this information is really appreciated.
Love you guys!!!! You give it to us straight!!! Thank you!!!! So much great info that. Am so interested in! Not only to use myself but incorporate into my homemade stuff
After 4 days of trying the probiotic gel moisturizer and the vitamin c + rose oil and marine algae eye cream, my face has become soft and dewy. I have sensitive skin, rosacea, and dermatitis. My skin was extremely dry, red and irritated. I found my new skincare line.❤❤
