Does it help with dry making and redness
- Asked by Angi
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHi there! Yes, it can assist with dryness as it is non-stripping and contains Squalane as a moisturizing ingredient. If you are dry and red, you may wish to explore Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 and Soothing & Barrier Support Serum to follow up after cleansing with Squalane Cleanser.Was this answer helpful to you

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

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

Change of ingredients - not so "clean" anymore
So disappointed in this brand. Have been buying products for years since they are known for being a "clean" brand. They have changed their formula on this face wash and it is no longer clean. I an trying to use chemically clean products so this bait and switch is very disappointing. Will be returning this product and finding another face wash.
The GOAT for makeup removal
I keep stocked on this product. It turned my acne around, after my facialist advised me to doubke cleanse, using something with squalene. I didn't realize mu makeup was actually not coming off 100% with other washes. This has a good consistency to take everything off, even my mascara so nothing is on the pillow. Cleared my skin up.
Great product.
So I first started using the Squaline as added moisture when applying my foundation. Then I found the cleanser. I tried the smaller size . Loved it went back and purchased the larger size. I do use it opposite of some. I cleanse 1st with another then with the squaline cleanser because it moisturizes and does not strip my skin. I have very sensitive skin and it agrees with my skin
HORRIBLE!
Did not remove mascara (regular, not waterproof mascara). Skin did not feel clean after washing.
This stuff is my Holy Grail
I dealt with acne for so long before I found this product. It cleanses to the BONE and keeps my oily, acne prone skin looking fresh✨ can't live without it
