Contrary to the belief of many that oil-based serums trigger acne and skin congestion, some refined oil extracts are lightweight and non-comedogenic, and can even help reduce excessive sebum production when used correctly. Squalane is a component found in plants and possesses astonishing skin nourishing properties, with only 0.2% squalane extractable from healthy olives. It is the saturated form of a substance known as “squalene” that occurs naturally in human skin, and is not known to cause breakouts and congestion, therefore suitable to be used even by oil-prone skin to be blended into skin care products for additional nourishment.

Skin Need’s oil-based serums all contain Squalane and other non-comedogenic oils in their purest forms without any additives, offering lightweight and purely functional formulations to confer the skin benefits these products are formulated to achieve.

Q&A

What skin type is this product suitable for? Can it be used on sensitive skin?

This product is suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive skin or when the skin is dry and fragile.

Why do we need to use an oil-based Serum?

Moisturizing the skin has two steps: replenishing moisture and locking in moisture. Replenishing moisture can be achieved by injecting hydrophilic moisturizing factors into the skin, allowing the skin to receive more abundant moisture at the bottom layer. When the skin is sufficiently hydrated, other ingredients in the skincare product can quickly penetrate and take effect.

However, since 80% of the skin's moisture can be lost due to an imbalanced protective barrier or evaporation through pores, it is necessary to use an oily essence to lock in moisture. Oil molecules are not hydrophilic and can prevent epidermal moisture loss in the skin's surface, making cells plump and maintaining adequate moisture.

What is the difference between cold-pressed Squalane and regular Squalane?

Cold-pressed and compressed Squalane particles are much smaller in diameter, allowing for effective penetration into the epidermal layer. Even after the surface oil evaporates, it can still provide circulating moisture locking actions. Another benefit of compressed particles is that they will not clog pores nor weigh the skin down.

Can this product be used in the morning and evening?

Yes, this product has a simplified ingredient list, is non-photosensitive, and can be used both in the morning and evening. Its formula purity is on par as raw material grade, allowing it to be combined with any skincare formula to enhance moisturization while maintaining a lightweight texture that is easily absorbed.
