How it works
Squalane is named on the ingredient panel on this serum. Squalane is the stable, saturated version of squalene, a lipid human skin already makes. It is a light emollient that absorbs quickly, does not oxidise, and is one of the few oils widely considered safe for blemish-prone skin. Most cosmetic squalane is now from sugarcane or olive rather than shark. On this panel it sits alongside Niacinamide, Rosa Damascena Flower Water and Chondrus Crispus Extract. Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.

Key actives
Squalane
Squalane is the stable, saturated version of squalene, a lipid human skin already makes. It is a light emollient that absorbs quickly, does not oxidise, and is one of the few oils widely considered safe for blemish-prone skin. Most cosmetic squalane is now from sugarcane or olive rather than shark.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
Rosa Damascena Flower Water
Rosa Damascena Flower Water is the water left from distilling rose petals. It is used in place of plain water as a base and carries the scent and trace compounds of the distillation.
Chondrus Crispus Extract
Chondrus Crispus is Irish moss, a red seaweed. It is loaded with carrageenan, so it hydrates and thickens at once, and it leaves a cushioned, slippery film.
What does Niacinamide do in this serum?
Niacinamide sits within the first ten ingredients, the tone-evening, barrier-supporting active Korean formulas lean on most often, and its early position here means it is not a token dose.
Is Sodium Hyaluronate also in this formula?
Sodium Hyaluronate sits in the middle of the ingredient list, one of this formula's moisture-binding hyaluronate forms. It sits alongside Niacinamide on MEDIHEAL's ingredient list for this product.
How is this serum used in a routine?
Apply a few drops to cleansed skin and pat in gently before moisturiser. It works as a treatment step layered under moisturiser.
Who is this serum suited for?
Sensitive skin, Normal skin are the best fit for this serum. Patch test on the inner arm before first full use, as with any new skincare product.

How to use
- Apply after toner while the surface is damp so a few drops cover the whole face.
- Press it upward across the cheeks and jaw with flat fingertips rather than rubbing.
- Follow with a moisturiser once it has settled for about a minute.
- Do not judge it in the first fortnight, since firmness focused routines are measured over weeks.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm before first full use, as with any new skincare product.
