    A true 3.5 product in my opinion, but I'm feeling generous so I'm rounding up. This gave a nice moisture boost to my skin this winter, but it's not a wonder product. I didn't find that it...

    It's a nice product for my dry face, and I usually use it at night. Be careful to stay away from the eye area as it may go into the eye. After using it only for a few days, I find my skin a bit...

    Wanted so much to love this - I'd read its for all skin types so thought this was a good choice for my combination / oily skin. I've read not to use oils during the day (omg my nose would just be...

    I have always loved oils for my dry skin but never come across squalene before The Ordinary launched it. Now it seems to be the latest trend and available everywhere from GOW, Inkey list, Indeed,...

    Love this oil on its own but even better when mixed (2 to 3 drops) with any of my moisturizers. This is the only oil my face loves. Moisturizing and soothing.

    I like the product but I hate the packaging - a pump would be so much better! It's very moisturizing but I find that if I apply it on its own, it doesn't absorb very well. For me it works much...

    After I tried the Ordinary’s hyaluronic acid I felt I needed something more moisturizing and purchased this instead of repurchasing the HA. Some nights I use this, some nights I use jojoba oil, and...

    Did not like this one compared to Indie Lee Squalene Oil. This one never felt like it did much on my skin, sad because it's so much cheaper. I love squalene oil though and may pick this up...

    I really really wanted to love this, but, sadly, it broke me out! I have very oily and acne prone skin. I am currently on Accutane which is why I was looking for a hydrating serum or oil that would...

    I don't use this on my skin regularly, but only because I have been using The Ordinary's Granactive Retinoid 2% or Retinol. 5% almost daily, both of which also have a Squalane base. However, I like...

    Love this. This was just the product I needed. My skin has gotten increasingly dry over the last few weeks since it is now sort-of autumn where I live. My HA from the ordinary had run out and...

    This broke me out pretty badly :( Oddly, the Ordinary Retinol + squalane was fine. Anyhow, it makes a wonderful cuticle oil now.

    So I jumped on the Ordinary bandwagon and just went crazy. By far, this brand is one of the best skincare finds of the century. Most of the products worked well for me and considering the price, I...

    Does not quite sink into the skin the way you would want a hydrating oil to - just sits on top and slides around. Still provides a barrier for your skin overnight, but didn’t noticeably improve...
