BIOSSANCE Squalane + Probiotic Balancing Face Gel Moisturizer, 1.69 oz — Oil-Control, Soothing

Biossance Squalane + Probiotic Balancing Face Gel Moisturizer is a lightweight, 1.69 oz gel that calms redness, controls excess oil, and supports a balanced skin microbiome with encapsulated probiotics and soothing bisabolol.

This cooling gel moisturizer pairs squalane with a patented encapsulated probiotic delivery to hydrate without heaviness, target shine, and reduce visible redness. Formulated for reactive, oily, and acne-prone skin types, it aims to restore balance and refine skin texture while feeling weightless under makeup or sunscreen.

How does this gel help reduce oiliness and minimize pores?

The gel base absorbs quickly and helps regulate surface oil without stripping moisture. Lightweight squalane hydrates skin to prevent rebound oil production, while the formula's calming actives reduce the look of inflammation that can make pores appear larger.

• Oil-free, fast-absorbing gel texture for matte finish
• Squalane provides balanced hydration without clogging pores
• Soothing ingredients reduce puffiness and pore visibility

What do the encapsulated probiotics do for sensitive, acne-prone skin?

Encapsulated probiotics are designed to deliver live-support ingredients intact to the skin, helping to fortify the skin's microbial balance. Instead of harshly drying or disrupting skin, they work alongside calming botanicals to support resilience and reduce flare-ups of redness and irritation.

• Encapsulation preserves probiotic potency until application
• Supports a healthier surface microbiome over time
• Pairs with bisabolol to soothe visible redness

Will it work under makeup and sunscreen during my daily routine?

Yes — the gel's lightweight, non-greasy finish layers well under primer, foundation, and broad-spectrum sunscreen. It provides a smooth base that helps makeup apply evenly while controlling midday shine for oilier complexions.

• Quick-absorbing texture prevents pilling under cosmetics
• Matte-leaning finish reduces the need for frequent blotting
• Small 1.69 oz size is travel-friendly for on-the-go touch-ups

How should I incorporate this into my skincare routine?

Apply after cleansing and any water-based serums, morning and/or night, as your hydrating step. Use a pea-sized amount and smooth across face and neck; follow with sunscreen in the morning or your treatment products at night.

• Use twice daily for consistent microbiome support
• Layer after serums, before sunscreen or thicker creams
• Suitable with acne-friendly actives like salicylic acid when tolerated

Who is this for: This balm-free gel is designed for people with oily, acne-prone, or reactive skin who want hydration that calms and clarifies without heaviness. It's suited for those seeking microbiome-supporting skincare, a matte finish under makeup, and a soothing formula that reduces the appearance of redness and enlarged pores.
