Noticed their Ordinary squalane oil smelled like urine.
“Ordinary squalane oil smell like pee?”
A few drops over damp skin and moisturiser give lots of hydration without greasiness.
“I just buy the ordinary oil and will NEVER go back holy hydration without being greasy.”
The one product their sensitive skin never reacts to, and it doesn't clog pores.
“it’s the only thing that I’m definitely not sensitive to and is truly virtually non-comedogenic.”
Older than 36 months. These may describe an earlier version.
Uses it for dryness; much more affordable than Biossance.
“I use The Ordinary’s 100% Plant-Derived Squalane when I feel dryness. The Biossance 100% Sugarcane Squalane Oil works wonders too. If anything I prefer the Biossance once but the Ordinary is so much more affordable”
Has used The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane for about a month and likes it, though they wonder if it blunts their retinol.
“I've been using this product for about a month now and I like it.”
TO Squalane saved their skin from dryness and gives a dewy effect that lasts a good while.
“The Ordinary 100% Plant-derived Squalane (this one saved my skin from dryness and it gives a dewy effect that lasts for a good amount of time)”
With oily, sensitive skin they chose The Ordinary Squalane; it hydrates and protects while keeping oil in check.
“I have oil/sensitive skin, and I mostly want an oil that balances things out, so I went with Squalane oil.”
Sticks with The Ordinary Squalane because it is one of the only oils that doesn't aggravate their seborrheic dermatitis.
“I like the rosehip and squalane. But I have been sticking with the squalane because I have seb derm”
The Ordinary Squalane is one of their absolute favorite oils; nothing softens skin like it.
“Squalane and Hemi Squalane are my absolute faves.”
Didn't like The Ordinary's Squalane and uses a different brand's squalane for winter instead.
“Didn't like TO's Squalane but Shoppers carries Indeed Labs Squalane, which basically carries me through winter.”
Loves it for the dryness that came with Accutane.
“If you’re into trying any new oils I reeeeaaaallly love the ordinary squalene with my newfound dry skin from accutane haha.”
It made their eczema-prone skin worse.
“TO Squalane made it worse for me though.”
