100% Squalano Vegetale - Siero Idratante

Game changer!

I’ve used this 2-3 times a week for 2 years and it has been amazing! No dry skin, no clogged pores, no crazy sticker price and no crazy ingredient list. My skin has never looked so hydrated. Especially great during the winter.

Many Uses!

I use this mixed with a few drops of hyaluronic acid as an after-shower moisturizer on my skin before I towel dry. It's excellent as a year-round moisturizer. Can also be used for removing last bits of makeup from around the eyes.

A gift of science

So light and pure.Wonderful products and each order is like a gift. Thank you

Using it for years

I swear by squalane oil to add as a top layer over my moisturiser. This stuff is perfect for extra moisture that's light and not too occlusive. I definitely use more in winter than summer, but I use it all year round.

Love this product

My skin has always been very sensitive and reacts poorly to a lot of Beauty/skin products. CeraVe was the only moisturizer that didn’t seem because my skin to break out more. I started taking Accutane a month ago for cystic acne. About 2 1/2 weeks ago, the skin around my nose, mouth, chin and neck area started to get extremely dry and started to peel. Even CeraVe moisturizer Would cause a stinging sensation when I put on my face and neck. After a week of wanting to hide in my home because of how embarrassed I was that, I literally look like a snake, shedding it skin, And my face being extremely sore I started using the100% Plant-Derived Squalene. I’m so happy I have this product!! After a few days of using it, my face didn’t feel so raw and Sore. The product helped speed up the cell turnover process. I also found that if I put this on my face, before applying the CeraVe cream, I didn’t have any stinging or redness due to irritation. I use the serum on my entire face, Neck and even the tops of my hands because they have started to get extremely dry. It’s a great moisturizer, even for around your eyes for your crows feet. I have tried the Niacinamide serum which I love, and am now in love with the Squalene serum too! Because my skin is so sensitive I haven’t tried any of the facial moisturizers by The Ordinary yet. But will have to review their products and see about adding that to my beauty regimen too!! This serum made such a difference for me. My dermatologist had been the one that recommended I use CeraVe because of how sensitive my skin is and how dry it could get even prior to Accutane. The Squalene serum has made such a difference that I let my Dermatologist know about this product from The Ordinary.

Thinner then before

I’ve been buying this for years and this is the first time it feels more watered down/much thinner. Product formulas changing/becoming cheaper has been a concern of mine since they were bought by Estee Lauder :( fingers crossed this was a one off but something to be mindful of.

dry skin must have

Bought this 6 months ago so I could really judge the impact to my skin, and it has been amazing! I have dry skin as a result of contraceptives and so was forced to switch to a more hydrating routine. I use morning/night on my skin and on my type 3c bleached curly hair ends and this stuff is a blessing. ( my hair doesn't grease up and I can go 10days+ without it looking oily so bear in mind) It is a greasy sort of consistency, as with most hydrating products, which makes my skin glow immediately after but soon soaks in, doubling as a great makeup primer for glowy skin. This product isn't needed for non dry skin, imo opt for something like hyaluronic acid instead! I pair it with the squalene cleanser and moisturiser, and intermittently introduce salicylic acid and a retinol, double cleansing at night and not cleansing in the morning.

So good

I use this on my neck and chest and applying the marine hyaluronic acid. This squalene says there’s no oil, but it feels oily when you first put it on, but soon the oily feeling goes away, and leaves your skin so soft.

Glides on so smooth

Beautiful glides on, but my skin is so dry, it worked ok. I need more of cream base. Either way still great for my skin

WHY?!

Why, why WHY don't you produce hemisqualane anymore??? My hair is very thin and often gets frizzy; of all the products I have tried over the years (even very famous and expensive ones), none have ever given me the amazing results of your hemisqualane. I also tried this product (squalane), but it's impossible on my hair, because it stays greasy and sticks together in strands (My hair is too fragile, I never dry my hair with a hairdryer). When I noticed that you no longer produce hemisqualane, I bought all the bottles still available, and in my city I found a shop that still had some, I bought 50 of them... Please, please, please! put hemisqualane back into production, for which I have found no substitute... butI love you anyway

Caused Breakouts - Don't buy this brand

I've bought this a few times over the years. It absolutely provides hydration, but always made my non-acne prone skin break out. On a whim I tried squalane from Amara Beauty, and the product from Amara Beauty is superior and at the same price point per ml. I've been using the new brand for 4 weeks and have not had a single breakout, unlike with the Ordinary's version. Must be some way they process it, but I wouldn't necessarily reccomend The Ordinary's squalane.

Youthful skin

Very good, improving dryness and wrinkles . Hope that helps
