The Ordinary100% Plant-Derived Squalane, for Skin and Hair, Lightweight Hydration, and Moisture Barrier Support, 1 Fl Oz

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.

I can't wear anything that is too heavy on my skin, and this works perfectly. It's light, easy to smooth over face and keeps me hydrated. Great product, great price! Will buy again.

After several days of using a hair growth formula, my scalp became red, tender, and irritated. I applied a few drops of The Ordinary squalane oil to my damp scalp right after shampooing, and the relief was immediate.1) Soothed inflammation & itching within minutes & helped calm visible redness and sensitivity after days of discomfort caused by tight, itchy inflammation.2) It’s lightweight, fragrance-free, & absorbs quickly so the squalane didn’t cause buildup on my scalp or make my loc’d hair look oily.3) Works well with my seborrheic dermatitis-friendly routine and this fragrance free, quick absorbing oil doesn’t sting or trigger flare-ups.If you’re using strong hair treatments and have sensitive or reactive scalp conditions, this is an easy, affordable way to add back hydration and comfort.

Bought based on hearing so much about it from social media. Have been using it almost daily for a month and can't see any major improvement yet, but it makes your skin feel very moisturized when you put it on. Feels good under makeup. Will continue to use to see if provides more long term results. Have purchased several products from The Ordinary for myself and my teenage daughter. Good products and you can't beat the prices.

I use this oil when I shave my face and any time I feel like my face is dry, it makes my skin so soft, smooth and hydrated. The consistency is oily, of course. It’s effective for me.

I chose this squalene oil because I heard it could help with rosacea. I add a couple of drops to my cream cleanser to prevent breakouts and oiliness, then I use a drop by itself to remove my eye makeup because my cleanser can’t be used near the eyes. The oil works great as a makeup remover and melts away my waterproof eyeliner and mascara. My skin has been noticeably clearer with regards to breakouts and heals faster when breakouts do occur. It does not do much for the rosacea redness on my cheeks, but my breakout problem areas look less irritated and are easier to cover with makeup. A single bottle has lasted me 3 months and is still half full; you really don’t need to use more than 4 drops per use. At this price, I highly recommend it for those with the right skin type.

This line of Face serums and oils is absolutely amazing!!! I noticed immediately a change in skin texture, size of pores, even skin tone, less splotchy, no acne, moisturized and I’m literally glowing!!! I will use this for the foreseeable future!!!!!!!

Okay - if you get a chemical burn from another product then squalene is amazing! It cleared up my discoloration and the burning feelings so fast! It’s incredibly moisturizing, it feels a little greasy but it’s still nice.However - be warned - I tried incorporating this into my daily routine because I genuinely thought I had found my holy grail and it completely destroyed my skin. Lots of acne and breaks outs especially around my jaw. Itchy feeling and lots of bumps. Even in areas I don’t typically break out on my face. Please use this product in moderation and do not use it everyday!!! I will only use it as an emergency moisturizer the same way I would use aloe Vera.
