100% Plant-Derived Squalane for Skin & Hair Hydration

Squalane is my go to oil for my sensitive skin. For example, after doing facial masks my skin can look a little red and I find the Ordinary Squalane takes away redness and is calming. It also helps with making my face look better after using tretinoin cream. I even use it on my hands when they need a little extra care.

I have very sensitive skin as I use prescription tretinoin so moisturisers either sting my skin or they’re just not moisturising enough. This ticks all of the boxes for me. Soaks into the skin without the heavy oily feeling and locks moisture in protecting my compromised skin barrier. An added bonus is the price point.

I've been using Squalane and squalane-based products for a few years now, and find it an absolute must-have. It's a very light, but moisturising hydrator. A great all-rounder, and especially good if you have enlarged pores, sore, dry or damaged skin barrier. It doesn't leave a film, it sinks in really well, and is a good base for any other products and make-up. My skin’s barrier has been damaged for some years due to age, sun damage and rosacea/sensitivity mainly from Celtic skin and autoimmune issues. Whenever I've experienced a sensitivity, red or sore skin, this is what I reach for, especially as it's non-comedogenic. I've recommended it to so many people, including a friend who has dreadfully reactive and weather-beaten skin from working outside, and he uses it all the time, including on his hands which were previously cracked and sore. I carry a bottle in my bag and use it on hair and body too. A wonderful all-rounder, especially now it's winter months in UK.
