This SAVED my skin. I'm from upstate New York, so my skin really took a hit this winter in combo with my Curology treatment which speeds cell turnover causing me a lot of dryness and irritation this dry season. I had no moisture whatsoever, yet I was still breaking out so I couldn't stop the Curology treatment either. This brought back hydration and did not clog pores at all and now I'm back to using my Curology treatment nightly with no irritation. Also, I think it's helping reduce my acne by creating a balance in my skin with just the right amount of hydration. Those who need hydration with acne-prone skin due to masks or whatever the case is, this is it!
I have had acne and acne scars since I was a teenager. Today I am 34 yo and been a loyal customer since 2018. I am one of these people that friends and even acquaintances from the past get surprised of how much my skin has changed to the best condition it has ever been! I really owe this to TO series product that I swear by. I had bad luck with the Squalane oil though.... Even though I purchased it twice, I never got used to the oily texture it leaves on my skin and neck that makes me want to wipe it off with a towel since it never sinks in my skin... I am not sure, but after a few days from the moment I put it on my face, it started purging especially on the jaw line and cheeks with red big pimples... I noticed that only this product causes this effect, since I have been using all the other products for a long time without having any issue. That's a huge pity since I kept these two bottles in my fridge forever and thinking if I could ever use them on my heels or anywhere else, since they did not work at all for my face scars...

I've been using this product for 2-3 years now and I'm still in love with it. I only use 3 Drops! Keeps face from dryness, no face irritation, no flakes left on face.

When did The Ordinary become so expensive?

I love this squalene! I overused exfoliants and acne products on my face. This saved my skin barrier bringing all the hydration back. My skin is dewy and more plump.

I love squalane for dry face and this product doesn't disappoint me. The oiliness is not overwhelming which is good.

I love The Ordinary & bought this squalene on a whim since I had some reward points to use. A little goes a long way & too much can feel/look oily, but a few drops after my normal skin care routine has left me with glass-like, airbrushed skin! I put some cream blush, mascara, and eyebrows on and *chef's kiss*. I've gotten so many compliments!

This oil has been the one consistent part of my skincare routine over the past few years. The times I've tried switching to something "fancier" I always end up coming back to it. Hydrates well, doesn't irritate blemishes, zero scent, works great under a gua sha. I also love that squalane is a fully saturated fat and not a PUFA, making it less likely to oxidize and cause exposure to free radicals.

Hydrating and plumping. Skin looks so healthy and no pimples for months.

If you burn easily in the sun, forget the aloe ladies, TRY THIS! This absolutely SAVED my skin when i got a second degree sunburn. Your skin will drink this up and my hair loved it too!

I have been using this oil since the beginning.I remember placing a huge order on the Canada website and I must have gotten 1 of everything lol. This is 1 of the 5 products that I can't live without! Its so light weight I believe all skin types could benefit from this product.

Seriously... A miracle elixir for my complexion!! I'm in my late 20s with dry-leaning skin and mild hormonal acne, and my current AM/PM routine of hyaluronic acid + moisturizing factors+HA + plant-derived squalane (+spf during the day) has been the best combo so far to keep my skin dewy, clear, and even. Like, I even notice a big difference when I skip a single morning or evening. I've tried and enjoyed other oils (rosehip, "B" oil), but this one is really something special. Plus, no scent and minimal oiliness for those who are bothered by that. I'm addicted!

I am new to proper skincare, and I have been doing a lot of research on products and proper layering, and all of that good stuff! It's overwhelming and I can't believe I waited so long to start a daily regimen. Starting later in life, I decided to try this line because their website is great for learning. They walk you through what your skin type may need and how to layer for the results you are looking for. They offer so many products and I like that I can use one brand for all of my personal needs. And the price is right! This particular product from The Ordinary is a must! I've been using it for two months now and feel comfortable giving a positive review. And the bonus here, is after you apply to your face, you can swipe it through your hair as well!

Can't believe I never wrote a review on this oil. It's a god send for me. I have acne prone skin, super sensitive, and I started using this at a time in my life when my skin was always inflamed and oily and generally unhealthy. I needed something to stabilize it and hydrate it while I started acne treatments life Differin and Benzoyl Peroxide and this always did the trick. Granted this past winter my skin needed a bit more hydration so I started using a moisturizer for the first time but 99% of the time, this is all I need on its own but 100% of the time, this goes in my routine -- morning and night as a last step before sunscreen. I also use it in my hair and my barber always compliments the sleek and healthiness of my hair. I almost always have about 2 dozen bottles in storage from sales because I never want to run out. I hope this never gets discontinued. I'll be the first to buy all the stock.

So glad I added this to my routine. Paired with hyaluronic serum, this oil is bomb. It's helped with my skin dryness from my rosacea, and also any kind of skin texture I'm dealing with. No gross oily feel, no new blemishes. Chef kiss for sure :)
Rachel from Ohio
Love how soft and smooth this makes my face feel. I will definitely purchase again.

My skin is all messed up so I don't try new things much anymore. I actually bought this for my scalp but saw a reccomendation for squalane when looking at skin barrier repair information and though might as well. And it's amazing. It barely hurt when putting it on (high praise believe me) And I was able to tolerate it on my skin for several hours before I washed my face. It's now the next day and I've washed my face a second time and I can still feel its (amazing!) effects. I'm honestly stunned at the (somewhat lasting) change this has made to my skin after one application. Won't leave pics cause they'd just scare people away but seriously wow. I'm hooked.

This squalane is great! The price is right and it's just what I was looking for. It has so many uses. Sometimes I mix it with my body lotion, put it over moisturizer to seal it in, tame fly away hairs, and I recently started using it on my stretch earlobes because the product I used to use was not super sanitary and I think it was irritating my seborrheic dermatitis. This is SD and FA friendly so I'll probably be switching to using this for my lobes all the time.

Love The Ordinary line!!

I bought this to use on my short grey hair but decided to try it out on my face after reading all of the positive reviews. I love it! I have very reactive sensitive skin which is now dry post-menopause having been oily all my life. I feel like I'm having to relearn skincare! I'm now using this in the morning and it works great under make-up. As it's not an oil, it's not at all greasy and disappears into my skin leaving it moisturised and comfortable. Highly recommended.
Heather from Central MA
This oil is so light and feels amazing on the skin. It sinks in beautifully and quickly leaving no residue behind.

I have tried manyyyy hydrating serums, and this one is by far my fave even when compared with very high end ones. Added this to my routine last winter as I tend to get dry, flaky skin during winter and I noticed a difference right away. My skin stayed hydrated and smooth for Longer and overall just had more of a glow once I incorporated this. I will say, it does tend to feel a bit oily and take slightly Longer to "sink in" than other formulas. It does sink in, but there's a short period of feeling like it's sitting on top of your skin before doing so. If that bothers you you may not like it. It's also very liquidy- so you have to move kinda fast putting it on. For me, none of those are na issue given the fantastic results though!
Leah from Los Angeles
If you have dry skin, you need this. I started using this over my serums and under my moisturizer and my skin has never felt more moisturized. It does seem a little greasy, but I usually only use it at night so it doesn't bother me.

I bought this initially for dry skin but it's way more intense than I need. On a whim I rubbed a few drops of this in my curly, frizzy, dry, dull hair and was SHOOK. Look. I don't have shiny hair, I never have. This restored my curls, made my hair shine, it's so soft, and frizz free. I'm stunned.
Brenda from NJ
I have dry skin especially along the T area of my face. It works great by hydrating my skin and lasts me a pretty long time! Just takes 3 drops and my skin feels super hydrated for the day. I incorporate this into my daily skincare and love it. IT IS A MUST
