S.Nature Essence/Serum Aqua Squalane Serum 50ml Refill Pack (S.Nature)
Korean consumers rated it like this!!
Living in Korea,
the climate can be quite challenging for skin,
especially with the harsh winters and humid summers.
I've found that the S.Nature Aqua Squalane Serum adapts beautifully to these conditions.
During the dry,
cold winter months,
this serum is an absolute savior.
It provides that extra layer of hydration and protection my skin desperately needs against the biting winds and indoor heating.
I layer it under a richer cream,
and it helps to lock in moisture,
preventing that tight,
flaky feeling.
My skin feels supple and comfortable all day long.
In the sweltering,
humid Korean summer,
it's equally fantastic.
Its lightweight,
non-greasy formula means it doesn't feel heavy or suffocating on the skin,
even when the humidity is through the roof.
Sometimes,
on really hot days,
I can even get away with just this serum followed by a light sunscreen,
and my skin still feels perfectly hydrated and balanced without any excess shine.
It also pairs wonderfully with other popular K-beauty steps.
After a double cleanse and a hydrating toner (like a Hada Labo or Pyunkang Yul toner),
this serum sinks in perfectly.
It's a great base before applying a sheet mask for an extra boost,
or before sealing everything in with a popular K-beauty moisturizer like the Laneige Water Bank Cream.
It truly integrates seamlessly into a multi-step Korean skincare routine,
enhancing the effects of subsequent products.
It's definitely a staple for navigating the diverse Korean climate!
Products that go well together
To maximize the benefits of the S.Nature Aqua Squalane Serum,
here are some products that create a dream team for your skin:
1. Hydrating Toner (e.g.,
Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner or Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner):
Applying the serum on slightly damp skin after a hydrating toner helps it absorb even better and locks in that initial layer of moisture.
These toners are gentle and provide a great base.
2. Gentle Cleanser (e.g.,
Cosrx Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser):
Starting with a clean,
balanced canvas is key.
A low pH cleanser ensures your skin barrier isn't stripped,
allowing the serum to work its magic more effectively.
3. Barrier-Strengthening Moisturizer (e.g.,
Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream or Dr.
Jart+ Ceramidin Cream):
After the serum,
seal in all that goodness with a rich,
barrier-supporting moisturizer.
Ceramides and squalane work synergistically to fortify your skin's natural defenses and prevent moisture loss.
4. Vitamin C Serum (e.g.,
Timeless 20% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum):
If you're looking to brighten and even out skin tone,
apply your Vitamin C serum first,
then follow with the Squalane Serum.
The Squalane Serum's soothing properties can help counteract any potential irritation from Vitamin C.
5. Sunscreen (e.g.,
Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun :
Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++):
Always,
always finish your morning routine with sunscreen!
The Squalane Serum provides a smooth,
hydrated base that helps sunscreen apply beautifully without pilling.
These combinations ensure your skin gets comprehensive care,
from deep hydration to barrier protection and overall radiance!
