Overview

Squalane and vitamin C anchor the Brenner SQAC1, a 1 fl oz facial oil serum aimed at brightening and firming skin while moisturizing.

Despite being labeled a serum, its item form is listed as oil, so it applies and absorbs like a facial oil rather than a watery or gel serum. Squalane is included for a moisturizing, non greasy feel while vitamin C is the named active for brightening. It's scented with rose, worth noting for anyone sensitive to fragrance in a leave on product.

  • Squalane and vitamin C facial oil serum
  • 1 fl oz size
  • Rose scented
  • Cruelty free, natural formula

Who it's for

Suits people wanting an oil based brightening and firming serum with a rose scent. Not ideal for anyone who prefers unscented actives or wants a lightweight water based vitamin C serum.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Combines squalane and vitamin C in one formula
  • Cruelty free and made with natural ingredients
  • Aimed at brightening and firming
What to check first
  • Rose scent may not suit fragrance sensitive users
  • Oil format layers differently than typical water based serums

Performance notes

Squalane is typically used to mimic skin's natural oils and support a moisturizing, non greasy finish, while vitamin C is included for its role in brightening tone. Being an oil rather than a water based serum affects how it layers, generally best applied after lighter, water based products.
