    Perfect for dry skin and even combination skin

    Essentially this is a oil but it’s not like the oils that are really thick and you have to constantly work into the skin.
    It’s lightweight and absorbs almost instantly and you only need 2-3 drops.
    This works perfectly with all skin types and that includes oily skin/combination skin because it doesn’t make your skin extra greasy and it leaves your skin so smooth after.
    I use it during the night and in the morning my skin feels so soft and moisturised.
    Use it after any other other moisturiser to add more benefits to your skin and it can also be used in damp hair to seal in the moisture so Double the bargain!

    amazing and affordable

    I added this oil to my skincare routine a while a ago. Its really hydrating for the skin, makes your skin moisturized, and look more alive/fresh. The squalane will balance oil production, has powerful anti-aging properties, also helps with acne and eczema.

    Great hair serum!

    Although this product is for topical skin application, I actually use this as a leave in conditioner in my hair. A little goes a long way and it leaves my hair feeling soft and smooth after it dries. You also cannot beat the price of many of The Ordinary products.

    A great vegan occlusive!

    This stuff is great! I use it to seal in my serums and moisturizers at night as it makes a great sealant! I have dry skin and my face seems to really enjoy this stuff!

    Favorite

    This is my favorite product for hydration. My skin feels refreshed and crazy hydrated. One of my all time favorite. Definately a keeper for the night time routine.

    Do not like this Face Oil

    I am a big fan of facial oils, especially for night time use and if you have dry skin. I have purchased The Ordinary's Rose Hip oil and I much prefer that one to this one. I hate this facial oil completely, it is so oily and I don't find that it absorbs into my skin at all, in some cases I even think it breaks me out sometimes. The only good thing about it is the price, as with most of their products you cannot beat the price of their products for what you get. I will use up the bottle I have currently but after that I will not re-purchase this oil, it just doesn't do anything for me at all.

    A miracle for fungal acne and oily skin!

    This is one of the few affordable squalene products on the market and is amazing for those super pesky under the skin bumps on your forehead and chin (fungal acne). This cleared up my blackheads and bumps in no time and leaves the skin looking glowy and beautifully smooth. I would recommend it to anyone. Be careful if you have dry skin as it doesn't moisturize very well (it slightly dried out my super-sensitive skin), but layering a hydrating serum underneath does the trick. Can be used under makeup if you're into that glowy look, I know I am! OBSESSED.

    LOVE!

    This was my first every ordinary product , I got it as a gift and now I have so many of these products. I put thick moisturizer on my face every morning right after a shower and typically use the squalene as a "throughout the day" hydration booster. it's light weight and softens my skin. I also use a few drops in my hair and it definitely hydrates my scalp as well. I have sensitive skin and am so content with the formulation and effectiveness of this.

    Amazing Squalane Oil

    I don't know how The Ordinary does it, but they have amazing products that works for a fraction of the price of comparable products. This squalane oil is absorbs fast into my skin. I love using it at night, after my face serums and before my cream or heavier moisturizers. I wake up having glowing skin!

    Great Even For Oily Skin

    I ordered this as a part of the suggested regimen for blemish-prone skin. I was a bit nervous about putting an oil on my oily skin, but I was very pleasantly surprised. My skin feels very soft, and it hasn’t been an issue at all with clogging pores. The reason I took off a half star is that sometimes it takes a really long time for my skin to absorb it.
