    • High quality, lightweight, moisturizing, non-greasy, and AFFORDABLE squalane oil High quality, lightweight, moisturizing, non-greasy, and AFFORDABLE squalane oil
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

This product is fantastic. Honestly, it's better than fantastic. Could it be, dare I say, a Holy Grail? I have sensitive, acne prone, oily/combination skin with rosacea and I have SUCH a hard time finding a traditional moisturizer that isn't too heavy and doesn't break me out, but is also hydrating enough to keep my skin from drying out and getting flaky. A few months ago I was really struggling with yet another bout of congestion and irritation and I decided to forget "moisturizer" all together and focus in on maximizing my hydration levels with toners/serums. Immediately my skin starting looking calmer and clearer, but I would still end up feeling slightly dry and tight by the end of the day and in the morning when I woke up. Enter The Ordinary Squalane Oil. This stuff is amazing. I started mixing a couple drops of squalane in with a small amount of my favorite toner (Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioner) in my hands and gently pressing it into my skin it all over my face as the last step of my routine. Within like, 48 hours my tightness/dryness had completely disappeared. Seriously, I am not exaggerating. My skin felt so comfortable and just like, "normal". Not too oily or too dry or too suffocated, just healthy. Sometimes I'll pat an extra drop of the oil in around my more sensitive areas like my eyes and mouth if I want a little extra nourishment, but most of the time I don't feel like I even need it. The oil itself is really lightweight and not greasy feeling at all. Most oil type products sit on top of my skin and feel suffocating, but this one sinks right in. It feels almost like it's just a natural a part of my skin that's supposed to be there. And really, that "my skin but better" feeling makes so much sense because squalane is just a more stable, (and in this case) plant derived version of squalene (with an E) which is a naturally occurring lipid found in our skin. Anyway, I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone with sensitive and/or acne prone combination skin who is looking for lightweight, non-greasy facial oil with a natural, skin-like feel. ... show more

My favorite oil ever, I typically love The Ordinary products, the quality is great and reliable, and this oil especially feels amazing on my skin! I use it after every shower since I was my face in the shower and my face feels so dewy and moisturized and glowy. Favorite oil everrr.

This squalane is lightweight, hydrating, and absorbs beautifully into the skin. It leaves my skin feeling soft and nourished without looking greasy. I’ve been very happy with the results and will definitely repurchase.

    • Oh, heck yes. Super effective!
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Skin concerns: 40s, dry in a dry climate. Rosacea. Sensitive, at times raw due to dryness in a dry climate and rosacea flares. This is a FANTASTIC product. After using Vanicream’s face lotion, I was noticing a dramatic difference in the skin on the back of my hands where I pat excess skincare products (not acids though!). I saw that an ingredient no other product I’ve used has is squalane. I’d heard before that that is a really hydrating ingredient, so I chose to conduct an experiment and add the pure oil into my routine. I use this by adding 6 drops to said face lotion, combining in my palms and spread on my face evenly by rubbing my palms on my face. It’s very easy to apply. It’s extending how long the bottle of Vanicream lasts. I’ve used this once daily, twice on days I don’t leave the house, for a month or so and the bottle is half empty, so this goes a long way. I’ve noticed a change in my skin hydration. This hasn’t caused any breakouts. Squalane doesn’t feed any skin bacteria or fungus, so if you’re wary of any oils due to any previous increase in acne, use this with confidence. This doesn’t cause milia on my eyes, a problem I’ve had before with occlusive barriers. It doesn’t sting if I get right up to my lash line. It gives you a nice glassy glow, but doesn’t give you that fried chicken look. As with any oil, you can’t use it with sunscreen as it compromises the effectiveness of it, which is why I don’t use it in the AM when I’m going to leave my house. I can’t speak one way or the other regarding purity, but I trust in The Ordinary to have exactly what it says it is on the bottle. They are a reliable brand, but do your research before adding any skincare product to your routine, be nice to your skin! As this is not an active, it is safe to use with no ramp up. 5/5 purchase and I will buy it again! ... show more

    • Best Squalane.
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is the best moisturizer I have ever used. This keeps my dry skin well hydrated and can be used over makeup to prevent it from looking dry and caked. You can't beat the price point or quality and I will continue to purchase

    • Seems nice, but not sure of effectiveness
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is the first time I’ve ever tried squalane. So far I’ve used half the bottle. I think it’s nice! But I’m just not sure if I’m noticing a real difference. Taking a break from it now and then I’ll go back to it again to see if I can notice a significant improvement in hydration. It leaked a little during shipping. ... show more

I absolutely love this product. I use this for my hair, which is dry and brittle. Works great with some aloe I also bought through Amazon. My hair is nice and smooth now, works great. I have a lot of allergies and this works with no problems.
