How Squalane helps for dull skin

Dullness appears when dead cells build up on the surface and skin reflects less light. In this scenario Squalane works with purpose — squalane is a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil identical to the skin's own lipids. As a result, used consistently, it gently improves the skin for dull skin.

How to use it

  • Cleanse with a gentle, non-stripping product.
  • Apply squalane to dry skin, starting 2–3 times a week.
  • Seal with a moisturiser to support the barrier.
  • Always use SPF 30+ in the morning.
