I mostly used the product on my hair after each wash and so far I have been liking it. I think it would be great to use this on the face as well. I applied it a few times and I really liked the texture. It was really really soft and made my skin smooth. I’d say this is a must try!
I did not find anything bad about it

I have purchased this product more times then I can count. I add a few drops of it into my moisturizer every night for some extra hydration.
My skin's favourite oil (and any oil that doesnt break me out)
I will always repurchase. And it is such a great price.
Absolutely nothing bad about this product.

Absolutely love this product for my dry, sensitive skin. Perfect for extra hydration for the skin in the colder months. Few drops go a long way. Very happy I purchased this.
Nothing bad about this product.

Squalane is wonderful for the skin. This 100 plant-derived squalane is $7.90. The price alone is uncomparable with other products.
I originally bought this for my face and sometimes I mix it with my moisturizer as a last step in my night routine. Though I don’t necessarily like this for my face, this makes a good lightweight body oil. I love to use this at night after shower. This has replaced other expensive body oils that I used to love. I also use this as a massaging oil. It has a bit of smell but I am not really bothered by it. My dry heels love this so much. Perfect body oil for me! ❤️
Perfect body oil for me!
It feels a little heavy for my face. Sometimes I mix this with my moisturizer and it feels hydrating but then my face becomes so greasy afterwards. This doesn’t absorb well and it just sits on top of my skin. My moisturizer is more occlusive than this.

This product is a must try. Its great for dry and sensitive skin. It is scent free and very moisturizing. My skin is soft the whole day after applying. I put it on after my toner and it spreads easily. A little goes a long way you don't need a lot for the whole face just a drop or two is enough. After I applying ot does take a few minutes to fully absorb but its worth it. My skin texture has improved and feels less dry. Sometimes I apply a small amount to my split ends to help soften it as well. I feel it helps reduce the amount of breakage.
I had a great experience with the product. Its not sticky as long as you only apply a drop or two.

I am in love with it. It's texture is like an oil but It is lightweight and feels more like a hydrator. I use it after cleansing and toning my face and follow it with a moisturiser. It helps sooth and hydrate my skin. It gives a subtle glow and stays for long.
If you have dry, normal, combination skin and you are thinking to include a pocket friendly hydrator to your skincare routine, you should definitely try The Ordinary Plant-Derived Squalane.
If you have oily skin then this might be little heavy for you and I'll recommend The Ordinary Hemi-Squalane.
Heavy for oily skin.

I enjoy this oil the most out of all the other Ordinary oils becuase it feels lighter and soaks into the skin without feeling too heavy. Its great at the end of a routine to lock in moisture or on dry hair ends.
I enjoy this product to lock in moisture at the end of a routine. And, as always the Ordinary has great prices

Keeps skin dewy and hydrated!
For some reason, whenever i use this at night, my pores get a bit clogged. I tried lessening it by using only one drop but in the morning, i still find one or two new ( tiny) bumps on my face. Might be too heavy for already oily type skin.

The lightest oil I've ever tried. Squalane is non-comedogenic and can be used for every skin type. According to research, squalane has anti-inflammatory that can reduce redness and swelling. So, this is definitely an interesting ingredient to add into my daily skincare routine.
I love how this oil can moisturize my skin without to much oily feeling. And i can use this to moisturize my dry lips as well
I don't have anything bad to say about this product. But it's a quite 'boring' product. It's hard to see what this product do except moisturizing the skin.
