Repair Your Skin Barrier in No Time With These 14 Best Squalane Skincare Products

1. Best Squalane Cleanser:

DEW OF THE GODS Frozé The Royal Face Wash Cream Cleanser

The sweet scent of this face wash is even sweeter on your complexion. Packed with ultra-moisturizing ingredients like squalane, blueberry, and coconut, it is oh-so-nourishing on dry skin. Even the most sensitive skin types can enjoy this cleanser, as one Ipster points out: “It didn’t dry out my skin, irritate my skin, or cause any breakouts. My face is pretty temperamental, so I feel like it’s safe to say this is a gentle cleanser.” We’d have to agree—it doesn’t dry out our complexion or cause additional irritation. Instead, we always feel refreshed after washing our face with it.

2. Best Squalane Facial Scrub:

DALLAS & JAMES SKINCARE CO. Watermelon Dream Jelly Ball Cleanser

Looking for a cleanser that will slough away flaky, dry skin? The DALLAS & JAMES SKINCARE CO. Watermelon Dream Jelly Ball Cleanser is exactly what you need. Mineral-rich dead sea salts gently buff away dryness and dullness while the skin barrier-boosting ceramides and squalane leave you with baby-soft skin.

3. Best Squalane Toner:

BYROE English Breakfast Tea Treatment Essence

Ipsters rave about this product as a “must-have” in your skincare routine and we have to agree. After washing your face, it’s the best next step. Whether you’re looking for maximum hydration, increased firmness, or a strengthened skin barrier, this toner is ready to restore, plump, and moisturize with a blend of black tea, pro-vitamin B5, squalane, and probiotic-rich kombucha. Not only does it deliver all those skincare benefits, but it also preps your skin to better absorb the skincare ingredients that follow in your routine. Talk about a multitasking product.

4. Best Squalane Eye Cream:

HEY HONEY Open Your Eyes Lifting Eye Serum

Struggle with dark circles? Does it seem like no eye cream can brighten them up? One Ipster swears this was the only product that worked, saying, “It actually gives the results that it says on the packaging. I 100% recommend this to anyone struggling with under-eye problems.” We also find this eye cream works for fine lines around our eyes and in between our brows, and we’re not the only ones. Another Ipster notes, “My fine lines are less pronounced. I have used many eye creams over the years but this is by far the best.”

5. Best Squalane Retinol:

SELFLESS BY HYRAM Retinol & Rainbow Algae Repair Serum

Retinol tends to be an intimidating skincare product, even if you’re someone who has used it before. With the dreaded purge period, getting your complexion acquainted with a new retinol can be a bit of a process. So if you’re looking for a retinol that’s a little gentler on the skin, we definitely suggest this one. The brightening rainbow algae complex and tranexamic acid mixed with the soothing squalane and smoothing retinol work overtime to minimize hyperpigmentation and dark spots.

6. Best SquaBody Lotion:

GO-TO SKINCARE Skin Party Body Lotion

Skincare doesn’t stop at your face; your body deserves to reap the benefits of squalane, too. We like to hydrate all over with this non-sticky lotion that features a blend of squalane, glycerin, shea butter, and vitamin E to smooth out dry spots. We often put it on before we go to bed and wake up to skin that’s still hydrated.

7. Best Sunscreen:

KEYS SOULCARE Protect Your Light SPF 30 Daily Facial Moisturizer

Hydration? Check. Sun protection? Check. What more could you want in a daily facial moisturizer? We know: What about a blend of squalane and niacinamide that helps soften and balance your complexion while protecting it from the sun’s harmful rays? We, along with another Ipster, have found it also makes a great base for days we want to wear makeup over it. “It leaves a sticky feeling, so it's a great base for makeup.” No need to apply primer, just dab on this moisturizer, your makeup, and head out the door.

8. Best Squalane for Mature Skin:

FEEL BEAUTY Squalane Facial Oil

The formulation of squalane, rosehip oil, avocado oil, grapeseed oil, and French plum seed oil is exactly what your mature skin needs—just ask our Ipsters. One raves, “It completely transformed my red, dry, flakey skin overnight.” Others point out how hydrated and smooth their skin feels thanks to this squalane oil. Another Ipster notes that this face oil works for other skin types as well, not just those looking for anti-aging benefits. “One of the standout features of this facial oil is its key ingredient: squalane. Sourced from olives, this natural emollient mimics the skin's own oils, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. It effectively locks in moisture, giving my skin a radiant and plump appearance.”

9. Best Squalane for Acne-Prone Skin:

DR. ZENOVIA Aloe Vera Blemish Soothing Moisturizer

A combination of squalane and aloe vera fight and reduce blemishes and acne. We appreciate that the fragrance-free formula doesn’t upset our oily skin and many Ipsters have noticed this benefit as well. One Ipster shares that this was the only thing that helped them get rid of their troublesome blemishes. “Ever since I started using DR. ZENOVIA Aloe Vera Blemish Soothing Moisturizer, my breakouts haven’t happened! At all. Nothing. Nada.” You’ll give your acne-prone skin the treatment it craves with this moisturizer.

10. Best Squalane for Brightening:

ODACITÉ Brightening Serum, Vitamin C and E + Hyaluronic Acid

Ready to even out your skin tone, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and experience a brighter, glowy complexion? You’ve found the perfect serum for that. We use this serum religiously because it contains everything we need to keep our skin in tip-top shape, including squalane, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E. Ipsters point out that it may be small but it is mighty; this small bottle packs a powerhouse of ingredients that do a heck of a lot for your skin.

11. Best Squalane Lip Balm:

PERSONA COSMETICS Daymask Peptide Lip Balm

Bring the power of squalane to your pout with this lip balm. We love the extra boost of hydration we get from the combination of squalane, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. The best part? While the formula is a bit heavier, it isn’t sticky. Even one of our Ipsters says it’s “so slept on.”

12. Best Squalane Exfoliator:

BIOSSANCE Squalane + 10% Lactic Acid Resurfacing Serum

BIOSSANCE formulates all their products with squalane, but not just any squalane, plant-derived squalane. Before, it was often sourced from shark livers (ew), but the brand found a way to bioengineer squalane from sugarcane. Now, back to the exfoliator at hand. The brand’s vegan bestseller gently smooths uneven skin texture to reveal softer, more luminous skin in as little as one to two weeks. We’ve only just started using this serum and it has quickly become essential in our nighttime skincare routine because we wake up to a refreshed complexion every time we use it.

13. Best Squalane for Sensitive Skin:

KATE SOMERVILLE® Kx Concentrates Squalane + Hyaluronic Serum

Skincare expert Kate Somerville uses high-quality ingredients in the formulas of her namesake skincare brand—this serum is no exception. We love how gentle it is on our sensitive skin, especially in the wintertime when skin tends to get extra dry and cracked. Many Ipsters say the same, with one pointing out, “I do have sensitive skin and all KATE SOMERVILLE® products really work for me.”

14. Best Squalane for Anti-Aging:

LANCER Instant Contour Firming Treatment

Want to rewind time, metaphorically, of course? This skin treatment from dermatologist Dr. Lancer is perfect for maturing skin. Cone snail venom bio-peptide relaxes fine lines and wrinkles; honey locust seed extract and hyaluronic acid tighten and plump; squalane, kangaroo paw flower extract, and Inca nut extract soften your skin, boost collagen elastin production, and increase skin density. We’ve never received so many compliments on our complexion than after using this product. So many people were curious about what type of work we had done and were shocked when we told them it was all thanks to our fave firming treatment.
