Such a thorough and helpful video all about our hero ingredient! 💚💦
love to hear more about this skin care line?! love to try them...
$72 for retinol with Squalane?? I’m broke I guess I’ll stick with the $6 bottle from the ordinary 🥺
Ordered today!
Amazon has a trial box w the eye cream here, and a night cream pretty cheap
Wow GREAT eye cream
The fact that you two explain things so well and keep it friendly yet professional keeps me here all the time!
And the fact that they’re pretty hot helps 😅
You two rock so hard giving us your references. So legit. After wandering around sources, UA-cam, web, product websites, for actives info., I so appreciate your cited info and honesty.
I’ve been using Biossance for about 6 months now and I love it. I love the products, I love the way my skin looks, and I love the way the products are sustainable and eco-friendly. Thanks for this video!
I’ve used biossance eye cream for 2 years. Very sensitive eyes & no issues with this. I’m 66 yo and have tried a lot of high end eye creams; so far, this is the best. Also the nite lactic acid treatment is excellent. I researched sqalane, after using The Ordinary products for a few years; when I read biossance had an eye cream with it (and algae a bonus) I immediately purchased the eye cream.....no regrets!
Love the docs, great advice...and happy to hear they support my choices.😎
And I foresee all of our Biossance products now fly off of our shelves at work. Great video as usual!! Thank you! Now I wont feel bad about suggesting this to my customers.
I love seeing you two together sharing both perspectives and opinions!
I love this video! It answered so many questions I had and I loved the recommendations of products I haven’t had my eye on yet. I’ve been slowly adding more Biossance products to my skincare routine and am noticing a huge difference in my skin already. Currently using their eyecream and sunscreen. I’ll be purchasing the phyto-retinol during their next sale for sure!
Thanks for teaching me so much about one of my favorite ingredients! I've never tried Biossance but now I want that eye cream, and I never thought I'd buy an eye cream. You guys are the best!
Been using the Biossance probiotic gel moisturizer, squalane oil and the probiotic toner and my skin is loving it!! So glad you took on the subject of squalane. I would love to hear your thoughts on fermented or probiotics in skincare. My skin is older and sensitive and the Biossance line has been a game changer!!
Got the travel set of eye cream they recommended by Biossance and lactic acid resurfacing night serum today
@@CA-lf7jt Oh yes, I'm definitely going to try the eye cream. I just picked up the retinol alternative serum.
@@CA-lf7jt my skin loves their lactic acid product, so well formulated
As always, so on point! Thanks for all the wisdom-you guys have taken my skin care routine to the next level. SOOOO APPRECIATE YOU!
This is one of my favorite channels. I absolutely love Dr. Maxfield & Dr. Shah♥️♥️♥️They make me happy when I watch them. Their energy is amazing ♥️☺️♥️😘😘
Thanks guys, can't wait to see your video and thoughts on eye creams!!! I do hope that in that video you'll go over what ingredients you should and shouldn't use around the eye area also 😊
I have been using this brand for over a year and I just love it! My sking completely changed for good. My morning routine is totally with Biossance and at night, I conviene a couple of The ordinary products. I love your videos! Thank you ❤
Since I work at derm surg center I died laughing when you started talking about you both being Microscope Nerds.. My docs live at their Mircoscopes. Love you both! Much like I love my docs!
Wow, I was literally trying to decide whether to buy that eye cream yesterday. Thank you!
I'm buying it today!
I've had a cluster of textured bumps on my left cheek for years. I've gone to dermatologists and nothing has helped. I started using the Biossance Squalane about three weeks ago and I've already seen such a huge improvement that I ordered the larger size. Thanks, Biossance!!!
I have loved this ingredient for YEARS and will buy a product if this is in it because my skin calms down with this in the mix...Thank you for this helpful information!
I'd love a video about taking care of the skin on our bodies. I've noticed that the closer I get to my 40's I notice my skin is thinning. I also have crepe skin and I'm trying to manage my skin during weight loss.
I found slathering and massaging regularly with organic rosehip oil very helpful. Plus patience :o)
Same here...the body skin....argh!
I like Biossance’s peptide eye gel, Rose oil, lip balm (glad they changed the container) and their hand sanitizer.
their hand sanitizer is awesome, and affordable!
Squalane’s my favorite oil since it’s a humectant, occlusive, and antioxidant that doesn’t clog pores. Great video!
Thanks for this review! I had a lot of these questions! I'm really trying to learn about my skincare to use safe and effective ingredients, so this information is really appreciated.
THANK YOU Drs and BIOSSANCE!!! That eye cream is completely worth the hype- very first application almost all of my wrinkles smoothed out, skin soft . Can’t wait to see difference after a month.
I bought the Biossance squalane + marine algae eye cream and my skin absolutely loves it. It feels so rich and luxurious going on, and it quickly absorbs into my skin versus every other eye cream I’ve used. It’s my first Biossance purchase and intrigued by their entire squalane product line
Biossance is a game changer. The Omega Repair cream is the only thick cream that doesn't break me out.
Is your skin type balanced, combination, oily, oily-dehydrated or dry?
@@maenad1231 oily in my t-zone (I use the Kate Somerville Oil-Free moisturiser in this area) and dry cheeks - the Biossance one on them.
I liked that you gave little shout outs w/ screen shot to the people asking questions 🙌🏼
Love the clarification about squalane and the energy that bounces off you two. Oh and that you make me laugh….and yourselves!! 🤣🤣 Laughing and learning perfect!!
About a year ago I tried a Biossance Squalane product when I got a free sample. I was hooked-except when it came to the price. When I saw the title of this video I immediately thought "oh no, I hope I didn't fall for some kind of hype product..." I'm so glad to hear such good information on this product.
Excellent video! I have most products from Biossance. I use the algae eye cream every night and it has made a huge difference in my fine lines and use the eye gel during the day. The marine algae cream is stunning! The only product I'm not too crazy about is the sunscreen. It's a bit greasy for me. This brand is on the pricey side but they have good deals all the time.
Love you guys!!!! You give it to us straight!!! Thank you!!!! So much great info that. Am so interested in! Not only to use myself but incorporate into my homemade stuff
I love Biossance omega cream I just bought it few weeks ago, its going to stay with me for ever
Their cleansers was my first oil cleanser and I love it hard. Very cool to learn more about the featured ingredient and also the company. Thanks again guys 💜💜
I love you both so much! Thank you for your informative & educational videos 😍
I really like the way you two explain skin care. I have never been into skin care and glad that i found this channel. Would really love to see more skin care videos and good products as well. If possible a review on supergoop products for spf will be highly appreciated.
Biossance has done wonders for my skin!
So happy this channel is taking off the way it is! Simple, professional and fun skincare education and advice. Thanks for everything. BTW would love to see reviews about naturium, best sunscreens, and a video about the best in office treatment for acne scars, cellulite and stretch marks. Thank you!
The Geometry teacher in me was very happy with your square/rectangle reference :).
I love Biossance Squalane. It is so good. I use it on my face every day and my skin looks great.
My favorite two dermatologists in the world 🌎❤🥰
OK own up how many dermatologists do you know? 😉
I know 3 and there never on the same page when it comes to treatments and lot of money!!! These two dermatologist are GQ, up to date, fun to watch and so far there recommendations have been spot on with my skin care 🧚🏻♀️
I was wondering if maybe you could give me advice for skin care for construction workers that are outside 10hours a day .
I"m not a doctor but if you watch all their videos sunscreen is the number one thing to always do.
yep. sunscreen, something to wash the face with and preferably a moisturiser of sorts. and reapplication of sunscreen would be beneficial.
SUNSCREEN and hydrate from within
A good broad brimmed hat and SPF clothing. The hat will protect your scalp which is very difficult to put sunscreen on and a very common place for skin cancer. ;-)
Yes sunscreen and a hat or anything to keep sun off your face. If you have oily skin which breaks out with regular sunscreen you can get it in a powder form - completely invisible, you just brush it on. You can also get organic sunscreen now which is good.
I really appreciate you guys so much. This information was super helpful. Thank you!
Perfect. I was just into researching this product more. Very informative video!
Huge fan of Biossance and squalane as an ingredient. I use it daily and my skin has become baby soft
Thank God for Doctorly 🙌🏻
I use the biossance lactid acid night serum, marine algae eye cream and their phyto retinol. I absolutely love all of them. Normally squalane breaks me out, but in their products it doesn't
The lactic acid night serum is the bomb. On the fence about the retinol. 🤔
@@jaimej40 i think their retinol is so gentle that it barely does anything
@@mohamedfawzy9945 it's a retinol alternative. It does work, it just takes longer. It's really good for people that can't handle retinol. It's plant based-bakuchiol
Ahh I was afraid to try their products because there were some negative reviews on it with breakouts. I guess everyone's skin is different.
I love all their products. Glad to hear your review. Thank you!!
Thanks you so much, you always helpful and enjoyable information! I REALLY look forward to that video on eye creams!!
This review is what I needed. Great explanation! Thank you 💯💯👌🏼👌🏼
Great. Biossance is one of my favorite skincare brands.
You guys are terrific. The only youtubers that I watch for whom my husband will stop what he's doing to listen - other than cooking shows. :P
Thank goodness Dr. Shah had dermatitis on his eyelids because I just got the best skin care tip on when to apply eye cream! I never knew I should apply it before serums/skincare. Thank you!
I just bought like 5 bottles of their jumbo sized sunscreen when it was on sale a couple days ago. Gives me no white cast. It’s hydrating (a tiny bit greasy) but with that PA+++ rating and no white cast, I’d be crazy to say this isn’t my favorite sunscreen of all time!!! I appreciate that they actually tell you the UVA protection which most manufactures don’t, and I respect that a lot. Thank you biossance!!!
I previously bought Cotz and sunbum tinted sunscreens and they were great but really drying. They’d Be great for someone with super oily skin tho
I’m obsessed w their sunscreen, and have done a LOT of research looking for perfect everyday sunscreens. It’s a great product and I find myself going to it most often. Unless I need more than 30 spf.
I love their sunscreen too, for all the reasons you said!
I only bought 2 in the sale because I didn’t know it would be AMAZING. I should of bought 10 🤦🏽♀️ Best sunscreen!!!
Are you brown skinned? I am on a forever-search for mineral ss for brown skin that doesn’t look like a kabuki mask.
Where's the Doctorly discount code??? Biossance should give this promo for us devout Doctorly fans!
You guys love and recommend it but where do l find it?? Small town in S.C. cvs and Walgreen!!!
Thank you both!! Now l know what is safe and works!!!!
Order directly from their website, they have sales pretty often. It's not sold in drug stores
I think it might be DOCTORLY20 from the info in the box.
Very insightful, love your channel guys
Thank you. I have purchased some and it was derived from olives. I threw it out a couple of month ago because it actually felt like it irritated my face. I am going to try this and the eye cream.
Great video! You answered all my questions 😊
Great information. I heard about Squalane for hair. Appreciated on comments confirming using it in hair. Guys your are giving me priceless information. I'm less confused about how to treat my skin. Thank you
I purchased their eye cream because I believe you mentioned on one of your videos. I’m so happy I did, I can see a big improvement! On to the night serum! Thank you. I love your videos, I have three daughters and have shared with them!
The marine algae is still my favorite eye cream!
I just bought the biossance sqaulane oil last week and have been loving it. i literally use it head to toe. My hair is loving it.. Im in lockdown so i like that its light and doesn't make my acalp feel oily. Also have been enjoying using it with my Gua sha
I'm 53 with combo/dry skin with not a lot of signs of aging. I have tried so many eye creams I can't keep track. I'm going to try the Squalane Marine Algae Eye Cream. I have very high hopes after seeing their video.... I love and follow them.
OMG!!!! I also get flair ups of eyelid dermatitis and recently bought this eye cream! Now that I hear you mention it helped yours I can't wait to try it!!!!
Dr M’s blue steel look is on point!
LOL, as soon as the video started I was like “dang, that’s a great color on Dr. Maxfield!”
Thank you so much for time and information 🙏🏽
GREAT INFORMATION AND KEEP ME SMILING A LOT DURING THE VIDEO - THANK YOU
So happy to hear that their squalane is sustainably sourced!
I love the ordinary’s squalane. It has such a Natural feel to it. And just is really nice on the skin. Very hydrating and it really does mimics skins natural oil production. So that’s why it feels really natural and not greasy and oily
Squalane oil broke me out like crazy. I used 100% squalane oil as the last step in my skincare routine and i got giant inflammed pimples for the next few days
i was looking forward to this video! 🥺💛
Love you guys and have learned so much from your channel!! Love it ❤❤
Hi it's nice to see eye creams not getting a bad review from Doctors on youtube. I like using an eye cream, as the skin around my eye has a need for a different texture to my facial skin. I have very dry, menopausal, rosacea and eczema prone skin and need rich creams for my face, neck and chest. Despite also having very dry skin around my eyes, the skin there is thinner and needs a slightly lighter texture to be comfortable. I'm careful to pick eye creams with decent INCI lists including a higher amount of peptides for daily use. At night I use a retinaldehyde eye cream, as the lower level of retinaldehyde in the eye product is better tolerated than a facial cream would be. I sometimes use a little balm at night on top, if my eyes feel super dry. I like squalane as an ingredient and even as a single ingredient oil. The oil can be added to moisturisers etc to boost the emollience on days where I'm extra dry. Best wishes.
Thank you for the answer as to why Squalene can clog pores and Squalane does not!! Very interesting. I’ve always wondered what is the reason Squalene isn’t used since our bodies produce it.
You two, with your knowledge of skin care and products are going to be the best looking old guys in years to come
I love these products! Thank you for the info!
Love your videos! So so helpful. I just wanted to ask you to mention products that help with sensitivity once we use a product that causes irritation - I tend to get sensitive when I use new products at times so, what’s the best product(s) to help with the redness and irritation on the skin.
Such a great video! Thank you!
My two boys here again to make my day better.
I just discovered this channel and video. I LOVE it. I am actually allergic to squalane. I have Ehlers-Danlos and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. One of my huge flares was caused by squalane in biossance. I’m the Murphy’s Law of people. Of course there are no documented cases of squalane allergies in the literature…
Great info. Thank you 🙏🏻
You lost me on the one with fragrance but I’m interested in the eye cream. Thank you for the info doctors.
Can’t wait to watch this!
Dr maxfield's smile is so pure ah!!!! I can't help but smile when he smiles
I love these products . The rose oil with vit .c amazing .
The way Dr. Maxfield stares will melt your heart!
Love your videos and great info. For those of us in our 60's with dry skin, what is the best routine? Do you need vitamins A, B and C? What products combine them? I would like the easiest routine with best results for mature, dry ski. Thanks!!!
Love that lactic acid night serum along with their Squalane BHA toner! Vitamin C serum AND both their probiotic gel/omega repair cream! my sensitive combo skin is obsessed with this brand 😩 my skin has never looked better! Thank you for this breakdown of Squalane now I know why my skin loves it!
I just got an of the same products!! Waiting but your comment gives me hope
I received a sample of the Biossance Squalane +omega repair cream and loved the smoothness and gentleness of the cream. I am 69 yrs young and am trying to follow Dr. shaw’s pyramid for hyperpigmentation as well. I have very dry skin and have tried various moisturizers that also contains peptides. I will update you on the Biossance Squalane +Omega repair cream in a few weeks. BTW I and so grateful to the two of you for inspiring me on this journey of skincare at this stage of my love. Sending hugs for the two of you🙋🏻♀️
squalane is my holy grail face oil to shave with. TRY IT, you'll never go back. Biossance 100% sugarcane squalane is AMAZING..pretty much the only skincare item I splurge on at Sephora these days.
How does that work? You use it instead of shaving cream?
@@beauxdejour808 Thanks for the tip. I will try it out! I bet a Biossance shaving cream might be in the works.
Love it, thank you. 😊
I want to thank you for helping achieve the best skin I've ever had!!!
Thank you for a very informative video since I use Squalane Oil frequently. I would also like to see you do a video on Co Q10 for the skin, if you would please!
Hi docs. Huge fan! You saved me so much money from buying La Mer. Can you plz do one video on skincare for pregnant women? Very confused on what I can/cannot use…also any sort of laser treatment?
I love Squalane!! This popped up while I was patting on my Biossance peptide eye serum. I first started using the Inkey List squalane and realized my skin loved it. Biossance came out with their sunscreen and when I ordered it I also got some of the minis of their other products and now I am sold. Ordering the minis is a great way to try out these products before you invest in the larger sizes. I am testing out the lactic acid from Biossance now and have purchased the large sizes of the eye serum and eye cream. If you like squalane order the Biossance minis and see what you think!!!!
@Megan Ossowski I have only used it twice trying to add it slowly once a week. I seem to tolerate well and thought it was great. Hopefully that continues...this is my first time to use lactic acid and have been using the PHA toner from IL 3-4 times a week so I think its a good step up.
@@maggie_n_ms how do u like the lactic acid so far, how long did u end up using it for
@Maggie Stevenson does the eye serum reduce under eye wrinkles?
How do you like that peptide eye serum? It says it's good for dark circles, have you noticed any improvement with that if you have dark circles?
Agreed! I just ordered some of their minis to try!
Love love the eye cream!
Thanks for another great video. My little bottle of Inkey List Squalane oil was a life saver for me when I was traveling a lot for work. It really helped combat that dried out feeling you get after a long flight. A little goes a long way so you only need the TINIEST drop on your face.
I used to think Biossence was expensive but I now realise it's actually cheaper per ml than the Inkey List. I may have to try it!
PS: Dr Maxfield, that colour looks amazing on you :)
Great video guys ❤
Squalane has changed my skin! I noticed that all the products that worked for me had some form of squalane in it and now it's my favourite ingredient and got my fiance onto it 😍
can i ask what kind/brand you use? thanks!
@@kolsen5420 Try Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer. Has squalane and ceramides. Cheaper than Biossance too.
Whenever I see squalane in a moisturizer’s ingredient list, I’m sold 😛
The one “ingredient” that helped with my eyelid dermatitis (which *sucked*) was Aquaphor, lol. I was prescribed tacrolimus which burned and made me feel miserable. Aquaphor was occlusive enough that it let everything calm down.
aquaphor is wonderful. short underrated. i’ve used it as a tattoo healing balm
I’ve done the same with Vaseline. It’s awesome!
I’m dealing with facial derm looking to find something to help me :(
The reasons limonene, linalool etc are listed on any product, is not because they have been added separately but because they have exceeded the non- declarable amount allowed in skincare. They are potential allergens contained in those plant extracts/essential oils etc further up the ingredients list, so people who know they are sensitive to these ingredients are made aware this product contains over the non-declarable least irritating/sensitising amount. It’s a compliance regulation required in some countries, depending on where they are made or exported to.
Hi guys! I just found this channel and I LoVe It! Thank you for taking your time to bring this information to us!
I have a question that's not related to the video and I didn't know where else to put it... I've been seeing a decent amount about "Argireline" lately, and how it's being dubbed as "Botox in a bottle!" I was wondering if this something that's actually beneficial that I should look into, or just a new, online, buzz ingredient?
