After recovering from a near-fatal brain tumor, Indie Lee became aware of the environmental toxins our skin is exposed to every day. She was inspired to start a skin care brand focused on empowerment, education and healthy living. Indie Lee toners, moisturizers, serums and more are made from ethically sourced ingredients, combining nature and science for skin care that's both eco-friendly and effective.
I had never heard of this brand before, but I happened to be in a store and asked a sales associate for a recommendation. My cheeks had been getting super dry and really uncomfortable no matter what I tried. My usual facial cream is La Mer soft cream, I tried the original cream because it’s thicker and that didn’t work. I tried Clinique’s overnight recovery cream as a daytime cream and that didn’t seem to do anything. So on a whim one day I asked, and this facial oil was recommended. I am very happy with the outcome. My whole face feels nicely moisturized and not oily at all. I highly recommend at least trying it.

Not good for people who have milia prone skin
This product is quite greasy and leaves my skin glowly which is something I was looking for but sadly this produce did not moisturize my skin and made me breakout with milia as the oil was very concentrated. Sadly won't buy again also sensitive skin people beware.

New 2020 Formula Change
Previous bottle was amazing. Have dry, sensitive skin, and it mixed into my moisturizer easily for extra hydration/locking in moisture overnight. Super gentle. New bottle, smells like gasoline. 100% olive doesn't smell like a gas station. Threw it in the trash. Bring back the old formula!

Great for acne-prone skin
I've been looking for an oil that hydrates my skin while not making me breakout. This product has been great. I use it every night and my face looks more moisturized while staying blemish free. (I know from reading about skincare that using only oil-free products is not ideal for hydrating your skin.) I'm so happy to find an oil that has worked so well for my skin. Definitely something I will purchase again.

Amazing Oil
Love this oil, and a little goes a long way. I have very sensitive skin so I am always hesitant with new products but because it’s natural I didn’t have any reactions at all. Keeps my face moisturized and feeling soft all day especially is this very cold winter. Keeping this as part of everyday routine. Love that I got it so fast and free shipping as a Nordys customer.

Personal Fave
Great price point for the quality of this product. After a week or two my skin showed a noticeable difference, this is my second time purchasing this product. I personally use this as a day and night oil.

Can’t live without it!
I’ve been using this oil for years, 5 to be exact! It’s a staple in my skincare routine. It absorbs easily and is never greasy. It has really has nourished my skin year round. Can’t live without it!

Could cause a little breakout
I really wanted to love this product! When the lady rubbed some on the back of my hand at the shore it absorbed right in and felt so smooth and brighter. So she gave me a few samples to use at home for my face.
This is an oil guys and yes it’s supposed to absorb better than other types, but it just didn’t work for my face like it did for my hand. I have oily combo skin and I tried this on many occasions. Days when I was dry and days when I was oily and I noticed the same reaction either way.
Here’s why I still have gave it 3 starts.
Yes this will absolutely hydrate your face and make it look glowy but be careful, although my skin looked good it also looked bad because I broke out in tons of tiny little pimples, multiple times. Now I’m not allergic to this stuff because I tried other olive and squalane products.
Also it did not absorb into my face ever, it always just kinda sat there, even if I used a tiny amount.
This is definitely for night and not day and if you have sensitive skin or you’re breakout prone, I mean you could try this but if you’re absolutely scared of a little breakout I would stay away.
Would love to see more products from this line though!

New favorite!
I have extremely dry skin to the point that I stopped trying the nightly creams because they never worked. I heard someone talking about a facial oil and started researching. This oil is like a miracle worker. I put just a few drops on my face at night and my skin in the morning is so soft and not greasy. I think I found my new must have in my skin care routine.

Great, natural moisture for skin and hair
I love this product! I read about squalane on a beauty blog. I have baby fine there that gets very dry when I style it. I also swim and that is brutal on my hair. The blog said that squalane adds natural moisture back into your hair so I tried it. My hair looks and feels great. This product was highly rated and a great price. I use it on my face as well. Totally recommend it.

Indie Lee Squalene Face Oil: Clean Machine
Unscented, colorless dry face oil is a clean light oil that I use instead of serum for more hydration. Absorbs quickly, works well day and night with moisturizer for hydration and smooth skin. Great for cold weather and dry indoors, reasonable price point. Love this brand, Indie Lee has an inspiring back story on why she started her business.
