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

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.

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.

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!!!!!!!

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.

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.

I have ordered this product twice for myself, once for my daughter. I just love it—rich, smooth, so reasonably priced. This is a brand I trust and am never surprised at the excellent quality.

I purchased this product because it’s versatile and can go on the skin and hair. I was afraid it would be too thick since I previously using sweet almond oil but it is light and not greasy. I switched to this one because a friend recommended it as I am prone to malassazia ( tinea verdicolor) outbreak on my skin. This oil doesn’t feed the skin fungus.

I have very dry skin, which isn't helped by living in Arizona. I decided to try this serum based on the recommendation of a YouTube influencer. I use a topical Vitamin C daily, followed by Hylauronic acid serum. I've started applying the Squalene as the next step (followed by a moisturizer and sunscreen). It's somewhat thick, but it seems to seal in the hydration provided by the other serums. I've just used it a couple of days and already my skin seems more hydrated and smoother under makeup. I love that this is so affordable, too, and a little of this serum goes a long way.
