Frequently asked questions
Can I use Squalane and Vitamin E together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Squalane and Vitamin E, and neither makes the other less effective. They share a goal (hydration and barrier), so together they reinforce each other.
Which goes first, Squalane or Vitamin E?
Apply Vitamin E first, then Squalane. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Squalane in the morning or at night?
Squalane: works morning or night. Press 2–3 drops in as the last step at night, or mix a drop into your moisturiser.
Should I use Vitamin E in the morning or at night?
Vitamin E: works morning or night. Look for it combined with vitamin C and ferulic acid. Very oily or acne-prone skin should avoid pure vitamin E oil.
