Valentine’s Day is all about appreciating the special people in our lives who show us love. This year, we’re flipping the script and focusing on a different kind of relationship: the one we have with our skin. Everyone is different, but we can all agree that a healthy complexion is the ultimate goal. To achieve this, a perfect match for your skin often requires two complementary products—a power pair—to tag-team treatment. Read on to learn about the power pairs five Biossance team members have fallen in love with for their skin.
CATHERINE GORE, President
My favorite power pair is:
This duo is my perfect match because it pairs an incredible overnight serum with the most decadent, hydrating moisturizer. I fell in love with my noticeably brighter, glowing complexion from the Lactic Acid Resurfacing Night Serum and the amazing look of hydration from the Omega Repair Cream.
PETE RICHARDS, Assistant Growth Marketing Manager
My favorite power pair is:
This duo is my perfect match because the Phyto-Retinol Serum is gentle, moisturizing and doesn’t irritate my skin and the Peptide Eye Gel wakes up my eyes in the morning.
I fell in love with how the Phyto-Retinol Serum noticeably smooths out the wrinkles in my forehead. I have trouble sleeping sometimes, so I love that the Peptide Eye Gel does a really good job of decreasing my morning puffiness and bags under my eyes.
JESSICA BARRETT, Director of Analytics
My favorite power pair is:
This duo is my perfect match when my skin is feeling dull and dry. I use the Glycolic Renewal Facial to get rid of dead skin and the Vitamin C Rose Oil to brighten.
I fell in love with how the Glycolic Renewal Facial gives me baby soft skin—it’s so gentle but effective—and the Vitamin C Rose Oil rehydrates all the goodness so I wake up fresh-faced in the morning.
ALANA DEDERICK, Retention Marketing Manager
My favorite power pair is:
This duo is my perfect match to start and end my routine with. The Antioxidant Cleansing Oil feels luxurious and never leaves my skin feeling overly dry. The Hyaluronic Toning Mist refreshes my skin whenever I spritz—which is all the time.
I fell in love with how the Antioxidant Cleansing Oil takes off my waterproof makeup without stripping my skin and the Hyaluronic Toning Mist gives me an instant healthy glow.
LETICIA GORITO, Senior Designer
My favorite power pair is:
This duo is my perfect match because both products are so hydrating. I used the100% Squalane Oil during my pregnancy to avoid stretch marks and I also use it on my hair and cuticles. The rich texture of the Marine Algae Eye Cream feels so moisturizing.
I love the lift the Marine Algae Eye Cream gives my eye area and the versatility of the 100% Squalane Oil.

My industry experience includes years as a beauty editor and leading content for a wide range of skincare and makeup brands. Those experiences led me to Biossance—I was introduced to the brand on an editor press trip in 2017 and instantly fell in love. I toured the labs, created my own 100% Squalane with essential oils, and noticed a dramatic difference in my skin by introducing clean products (especially the Vitamin C Rose Oil) to my regimen. I’m excited to be on this journey with Biossance and be at the forefront of clean beauty innovation.

Those with skin hyperpigmentation used to have only one ingredient to rely on. Then came Vitamin C serums, which made progress, delivering a boost of brightening as well as firmness, and bounce but they were difficult to layer under other skincare products and sometimes even caused irritation and breakouts. Our precisely calibrated Squalane + Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum takes traditional C serums one step further with a unique form of vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid and a magic 10% concentration.
