How to Get the Most Out of Your Squalane + 10% Lactic Acid Resurfacing Serum

Exfoliating serums can transform your skin—but only if you use them correctly. Biossance Squalane + 10% Lactic Acid Resurfacing Serum is a powerhouse formula that gently resurfaces skin while keeping it hydrated. To unlock its full potential, you need the right routine.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how to incorporate this lactic acid serum into your skincare regimen. From prepping your skin to layering with other products, these tips will help you achieve a brighter, smoother complexion without irritation.

Why Lactic Acid? Understanding the Benefits

Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that works by dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells, encouraging them to shed naturally. Unlike harsh physical scrubs, it exfoliates gently while also boosting hydration. The Squalane + 10% Lactic Acid Resurfacing Serum combines this exfoliating power with squalane, a moisturizing ingredient that mimics your skin’s natural oils.

This dual-action formula helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, and dullness. Regular use can reveal a more radiant, even-toned complexion. Because it’s a leave-on treatment, it continues working long after application—unlike a wash-off mask or scrub.

• Gently exfoliates without stripping moisture
• Improves skin texture and radiance over time
• Suitable for most skin types when used correctly

Step-by-Step: How to Apply Your Resurfacing Serum

Start with a clean, dry face. After cleansing, gently pat your skin dry—avoid rubbing. Apply a few drops of the Squalane + 10% Lactic Acid Resurfacing Serum to your fingertips and press it into your skin, starting from the center of your face and moving outward. Avoid the eye area and any broken skin.

Wait at least 60 seconds for the serum to absorb before moving to the next step. This allows the lactic acid to begin working without interference. Follow with a moisturizer to lock in hydration. If you’re using it at night, finish with a nourishing night cream. In the morning, always apply sunscreen—lactic acid can increase sun sensitivity.

• Use 2–3 drops for the entire face
• Apply only at night if you have sensitive skin
• Never mix with other strong acids or retinol in the same routine

How Often Should You Use It?

If you’re new to AHAs, start by using the serum once or twice a week. Gradually increase to every other night as your skin builds tolerance. For experienced users, nightly application may be fine—but listen to your skin. Signs of over-exfoliation include redness, stinging, or peeling.

The Squalane + 10% Lactic Acid Resurfacing Serum is formulated to be gentle, but everyone’s skin is different. If you’re also using other exfoliating products like scrubs or enzymes, reduce frequency to avoid irritation. A good rule: exfoliate no more than 3–4 times per week total.

• Beginner: 1–2 times per week
• Intermediate: every other night
• Advanced: nightly (if skin tolerates it)

Pairing with Other Biossance Favorites

For a complete routine, layer your resurfacing serum with complementary products. After the lactic acid serum has absorbed, apply a hydrating serum like the Squalane + Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum to boost collagen and plumpness. Then seal everything with a moisturizer.

On nights you’re not exfoliating, you can use a richer treatment like the Squalane + Firm and Lift Dual Serum to target firmness. And don’t forget your brows—the Easy Brow tinted brow gel is a quick way to frame your face after your skincare is done. For a polished look, finish with the Soft Gloss lip serum for a hint of shine.

• Layer with hydrating serums for extra glow
• Use on alternate nights with retinol or vitamin C
• Always end with moisturizer and SPF in the morning
