I am 50 years old and currently using this cleanser. Should i use this cleanser or switch to the foaming cleanser? I am also looking for something for my eyes. Do you have any recommendations?
- Asked by Daisy
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHello! Both Squalane Cleanser and Glucoside Foaming Cleanser are suitable for all skin types. Choosing between the two mostly comes down to personal preference. Generally, we find that those with dry skin prefer the Squalane Cleanser, while those with oily skin may favor the Glucoside Foaming Cleanser. As for eyes; we suggest exploring The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Eye Serum. <3Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
What cleanser is best for mature normal skin with anti age concerns. Please don't just say all skin types? There must be a cleanser that suits a skin type best. Thank you
- Asked by CA
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHi there! Since our cleansers are suitable for all skin types, choosing between them primarily comes down to personal preference. For example, if you have normal skin and your regimen is focused on hydration, we would suggest going for the Squalane Cleanser or Glycolipid Cream Cleanser. Those whose regimens are focused on oil control might prefer the Glucoside Foaming Cleanser instead, as it has a lightweight, gel consistency.Was this answer helpful to you

- Asked by Kcleve
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHi there! Squalane Cleanser is closer to a water-based cleanser as it's oil-free.Was this answer helpful to you

Bottle is sold Half empty
I understand the product is affordable. But I didn't expect the bottle to be half empty. Disappointed that I'd probably only be able to use a few times before I run out. I left the silver plastic seal on the cap to prove I just opened. Really disappointed

So disappointed
I used a dime size amount 3 times and it's already gone. I dont feel i can leave a decenr review since i barely got to try it. Im not sure why it was basically empty. I really wanted to like this too. But it feels nice and creamy im just unsure how well it works since i didnt get a long experience
Chemical burn
Not sure why this burned my skin

Doesnt stand out
This cleanser is great. Its nourishing, cleansing, and just feels so nice and smooth and doesnt give that squeaky clean feel. However, It doesnt stand out. Its not bad but I feel myself reaching for other cleansers I own rather than this.
