”WILL NEVER BE WITHOUT THIS PRODUCT!!!! I had severe redness, heat and peeling due to my retin A and adverse reaction to face wipes. I had a huge event I was going to that evening and so I ran around to Sephora, bare minerals, and Ulta with no avail to any product that worked (they all actually made it worse). When I arrived home, my package had arrived with the Squalane and I put it on….Nothing short of a miracle!!! It immediately reduced the redness and the peeling completely disappeared. WOW. I am in love with this little bottle and am now a devotee to this AMAZING company for their efforts in making skin care affordable and effective. Thank you so much for saving the day!!!!”

”LOVE LOVE LOVE. This is a very light dry oil that absorbs quickly into my skin for instant glow and moisture without feeling overly heavy. I don’t think I could have gotten through the Retinol uglies without Squalane. It worked perfectly to sooth irritated skin and reduce the visible appearance when my face started flaking. Throughout the summer I only used it when my face needed some TLC but with the cold dry winter fast approaching I will start using it every day.”

I have been using this for more than a week already and I am totally loving this product. It works really well with The Ordinary's Niacinamide serum. It makes my skin feel soft, smooth and moisturized. It is an oil based product but this is easily absorbed by my skin and does not really feel oily on the face. I have combination skin and it also did not aggravate my oiliness. In fact, together with the NIacinamide Serum, this has helped managed the oiliness of my face. Will definitely repurchase.
about 2 months agoI thought I couldn't find a better oil than rose hip seed oil but I was wrong. This oil was different, something you could tell from the first use, because it doesn't really feel like oil. It's a lot runnier than that, and not so sticky and greasy as other oils. But the best part about this is that it helped with my fungal acne, or malassezia. When treating this condition, it's expected that you get drier than normal skin, but it became less bothersome when I used this.
5 months agoOrdered this early March and have been using it for about a month or so, and it really helps keep my skin supple and moist especially post-AHA, or when I'm in a place with low humidity. No weird skin reactions so far, and no pore clogging too. A little goes a long way, btw — 3 drops (forehead, both cheeks) is enough to get your dew on after serums and/or essences so considering the price tag, sobrang sulit talaga. Definitely repurchasing!
6 months agoi am glad i purchased this facial oil from the ordinary. so far, this is the oil that absorbs quickly into skin. the consistency is thinner. my technique is to put 2-3 drops of this with aloe vera gel at night time, that way it feels evenly distributed on my face because if i use it alone, most of it just absorbs on my hands than on my face because of its quick absorbing property. love it! the result is waking up with a hydrated and glowy skin.
7 months agoI got this facial oil in the hopes of using it as a night moisturizer. I was choosing between squalane and rosehip, and I ended up choosing squalane because it's more stable than rosehip oil (based on my research). Squalane is supposed to be a natural occurring substance in our sebum, so my thought process was that this would be less heavy for my oily and acne prone skin. So far, my skin has not reacted badly to this. I have yet to find more articles on the fatty acid composition of squalane, but as of now I know that it has a low comedogenic rating :)
8 months agoI super love this product. It helped me have a moisturized face and it's not sticky or oily in the skin. It gives my face a nice dewy look in the morning!😍 Been using it for 2 weeks now and I am happy to add it in my evening skin care routine!
