Squalane for redness and sensitivity: how to use it and what to expect

Squalane is increasingly recommended for exactly this — and for good reason.

What is Squalane

Squalane is a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil identical to the skin's own lipids.

How Squalane helps for redness and sensitivity

Redness is often linked to a weakened barrier and dilated surface vessels. Squalane approaches the problem from a different angle: 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 redness and sensitivity.

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.

Precautions

Suits all skin types, including oily, and leaves no greasy film. Avoid aggressive exfoliants and hot water.
