Holiday Skincare Trend #2: Barrier Repair

Squalane + Omega Repair Cream

We’re so glad that barrier repair became a hotly-discussed skincare issue this year. Caring for your skin’s moisture barrier (its protective layer of cells and lipids) is a must for healthy, hydrated, radiant skin. This is especially true during the winter, when dry air and colder temperatures can compromise your skin’s defenses.

Give someone special a gorgeous, jumbo-sized glass jar of our ultra-moisturizing Squalane + Omega Repair Cream this year. Plumping, hydrating omega fatty acids similar to what’s in your skin’s moisture barrier work to hydrate and restore your skin’s protective layer while hyaluronic acid deeply hydrates and plumps.

Holiday Skincare Trend #3: Microdosing Skincare

Freshly Launched: Squalane + Retinol Night Serum

Microdosing skincare involves the same general principle as the other kind of microdosing. It means using active ingredients either in smaller amounts, or releasing them into your skin more gradually. We opted for the second approach with the innovative encapsulated retinoids in our new Squalane + Retinol Night Serum. 

Our groundbreaking formula reduces irritation by time-releasing our powerful retinoid actives into your skin over the course of 8 hours. The result: all the skin-smoothing, dark-spot-improving benefits of retinoids with a boost of squalane-powered hydration, not irritation.

Holiday Skincare Trend #4: A Dewy Holiday Glow

Award-Winning Bestseller: Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil

Biossance Brand Ambassador Reese Witherspoon credits our Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil for her famously radiant skin, and with good reason. Our science-backed formula features an innovative form of oil-soluble Vitamin C that’s uniquely stable and incredibly gentle. Use it as the final step in your skincare to brighten and moisturize while sealing in active ingredients, or add a few drops to holiday makeup for a fresh, dewy look.

Holiday Skincare Trend #5: Probiotic Skincare

National Eczema Association-Accepted: Squalane + Probiotic Gel Moisturizer

Our body’s many microbiomes are a trending topic right now as researchers learn more about how beneficial bacteria, microflora, and even viruses help  keep us healthy from head to toe. And with up to 1 billion microbes per square centimeter, the skin is no exception.

Foster balance within your skin’s microbiome by reaching for our Squalane + Probiotic Gel Moisturizer. Our proprietary probiotic helps balance the skin’s complexion and improve clarity while minimizing the look of redness and irritation. Meanwhile our superhero squalane mimics the body’s natural moisture, delivering actives deep into the skin alongside weightless hydration.

Holiday Skincare Trend #6: Going Au Natural

Squalane + Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum

In a beauty era that embraces healthy, hydrated, makeup-free skin, it makes sense that peptides are totally having a moment. With their proven skin-firming, bounce-boosting benefits, peptides are a must-have ingredient in your skincare routine at any age, making our peptide-rich Squalane + Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum the perfect holiday skincare gift. 

In this ultra-hydrating serum, our innovative rapid plumping complex joins forces with three science-backed moisture boosters (hyaluronic acid, polyglutamic acid, and squalane) to draw in moisture and flood skin with continuous hydration while encouraging collagen production to plump skin and add bounce.

Holiday Skincare Trend #7: Mega Hydration

Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream Duo

Instead of relying on fad ingredients, skinthusiasts are increasingly turning to tried-and-true hydrators to plump and smooth delicate undereye skin. Deeply hydrate while smoothing crepey skin with our Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream. Our award-winning eye cream uses marine algae peptides, paracress extract, and our superhero squalane to reduce the looks of fine lines and wrinkles while delivering deep hydration. It also melts into skin, providing the perfect canvas for makeup.

Holiday Skincare Trend #8: Skin Cycling

Squalane + Retinol Night Serum, Squalane + Lactic Acid Resurfacing Night Serum, Squalane + Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum

If you know someone who is new to retinoids or has sensitive skin, help them ease into using dermatologist-approve actives with skin cycling. 

Skin cycling is the snappy term coined by dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowe to describe a four-night cycle of skincare routines. Here’s how to do it using Biossance products:

Night 1: Exfoliate with Squalane + Lactic Acid Resurfacing Night Serum

Night  2: Retinoid night with Squalane + Retinol Night Serum

Night 3: Recover with Squalane + Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum

Night 4: Recover again

In theory, a skin cycling routine minimizes irritation and maximizes results by strategically incorporating only one active ingredient at a time overnight. When you wake up in the morning, your AM routine stays the same. Just be sure to include sunscreen, even on your recovery days.
