If your moisturizer just isn’t cutting it — if your skin feels tight, looks dull, or loses its glow by midday — the missing piece might not be another cream. It’s a squalane serum.
Lightweight yet deeply hydrating, squalane serums mimic your skin’s natural oils, locking in moisture, balancing your complexion, and leaving your skin soft, luminous, and radiant.
Paired with vitamin C, as in Joanna Vargas Rescue Vitamin C + Squalane Serum, it delivers hydration, radiance, and antioxidant protection — a true red-carpet essential.

1. The Science Behind Squalane
Your skin naturally produces squalene, but production decreases with age, leading to dryness, fine lines, and a compromised barrier.
The Rescue Serum uses olive-derived squalane, a clean, non-comedogenic ingredient that glides on like a dry oil, sealing in hydration while leaving skin soft, supple, and radiant.
2. Vitamin C + Squalane: A Perfect Pair
-
Squalane locks in moisture
-
Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) brightens, protects, and boosts collagen
-
Oil-soluble and gentle, it won’t oxidize or irritate sensitive skin
Together, they:
-
Hydrate dry, tired skin
-
Improve elasticity
-
Fade sun spots and discoloration
-
Restore luminous, even tone
This dual-action formula hydrates like an oil, performs like an active, and feels like silk — making it a red-carpet favorite.
