Review: It is a very gentle retinol moisturiser for everyday usage.  The ingredients in this products provides enough moisture without adding any other heavy cream.  I find it non irritating, doesn't burn my skin, no flaky skin, makes my skin looks brighter, smoother, reduce fine lines and even out skin tone.  It is not for preventing acne though so I do need to use my other acne products with it.  I avoid using applying retinol after I use strong BHA&AHA.

Overall:It is a good starting retinol anti aging products without the irritation that comes with stronger retinoid product.

REVIEW ON TIMELESS SQUALANE OIL 100% PURE

Hi beautiful people,

At one point of time many companies were pushing out oils and one very popular oil was the squalane.

It became popular for being suitable for acne prone and oily skin type.

I still use beauty oil although I don't really go all the way to try all the oils out there as I did few years ago.  

Timeles Squalane is from 100% olive so it is vegan and cruelty free. 

Here is a review on Timeless Squalane Oil 100% Pure.

Timeless Squalane Oil 100% Pure

A high-quality skin-restoring emollient that moisturizes and softens skin comfortably without any greasiness.
Lightweight, skin-cushioning texture
Lubricates, hydrates and prevents moisture loss
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Non-comedogenic (never clogs pores)
Builds supple, smooth and healthy skin


Usage:
Apply twice daily after cleansing, toning and exfoliating. 

Use alone by smoothing a few drops onto face, neck, under-eye area, chest, hair, dry hands or feet, or dispense a few drops and add to your favourite moisturize

Packaging:  I got the 240ml which comes with a box.  It is a bottle with a ceramic bottle so becareful when handling it.  It has a plastic pump so it is easy to use.  It has detaileds and in English.

Ingredients talk: 

100% Pure olive-derived squalane (hydration/skin-replenishing)

Paraben free, sulfate free, alcohol free, Eu allergen free, silicone free.

As for fungal-acne safe (malassezia), I can't really give you a definite answer.  Anything derived from olive oil isn't actually fungal safe.

Squalane is a moisturizing ingredient that has omega fatty acids and antioxidants which is similar to skin sebum so it is a good ingredient to use if you have dry skin.

Texture: It doesn’t have much scent of it other than scent of slight ‘oil’ which disappeared after 5minutes. The oil is light but not the watery light type.  I rub the oil for few seconds.  It does absorbs but takes about 15minutes to not have that oil film on the skin.

Review: I have combination acne prone skin with fungal acne that can relapse so take this review with grains of salt.  I tried using it on my face for two weeks but I think I got clogged pores.  I use it on my body and it really help with moisiturising my body.  I apply Timeless squalane on my hand to keeps the dryness away and avoid my skin from peeling.

Overall: It is very affordable squalane oil and light moisturiser for body and any skin type.
