The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser, Hydrating Makeup Remover, Supports Moisture Barrier

Okay, I bought this on a whim. I have pretty severe sebaceous hyperplasia. I have had chemical peels. I’ve had them burned off, frozen, I’ve used topical retin A from my dermatologist. It always rages back. I saw a review say this stuff shrinks them and makes them much less visible. I was put off by the price, but let’s face it, I’ve dropped a lot more than this.My first wash, I did not use anything to remove my make up. I wanted to see if this got rid of it by what was left when I used my toner. Initially, I thought this stuff would be greasy. IT IS NOT! It COMPLETELY MELTED MY MAKE UP AWAY! I have used it daily for about two weeks. It is unlike anything I have ever used. It leaves my face clean, but not dry. It isn’t oily either, like some make up removers that then require soap and water. I have purchased most of the face cleaners in Ulta. I have never, in my oily 57 years, used anything like this. The price point is amazing considering what it does. It even removed my waterproof mascara???? I don’t know what is in this, and frankly I do not care. It’s hot where I live, and my SH is not growing. My skin feels clean. It’s not dry. It’s not greasy. I write reviews only occasionally, but I want others who have struggled with oily skin issues for years to know there’s something out there for us. I can’t speak to dry skin, but it feels extremely gentle. Am I rid of my excess oil completely? No, but I have other solutions in my toolbox for that. I will do without other things to buy this again and again. I love other products from The Ordinary, but THIS one is the Holy Grail. I still have bumps from SH. However, they are almost flat, and much less noticeable. For my fellow sufferers out there, this helped me. They’re no longer the first thing I see when I look in the mirror. I don’t feel like people see them and wonder what the heck is on my face. Many thanks to The Ordinary for a decently priced, effective product that does what it says.

I’ve been using The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser for a few weeks now, and I’m really happy with how it performs. It goes on like a lightweight balm, then melts into an oil-like texture as you warm it up in your hands. It removes makeup (even mascara) really well without needing to scrub, and it rinses clean without leaving any greasy residue behind.My skin feels soft and hydrated afterward — not tight or dry like with some other cleansers. I have sensitive skin and haven’t had any irritation or breakouts since using it. It’s unscented, which I appreciate, and a little goes a long way, so the tube lasts longer than you’d expect.It’s simple, affordable, and does exactly what it claims. If you’re looking for a gentle everyday cleanser that also removes makeup, this is a great choice.

It's a great cleanser and honestly wish i got a bigger thing of it. I use about a nickle sized amount and rubbed it in for about 1.5 minutes then wet my hands and got it a bit more slippery before washing it off. And Oh. My. Gosh. It made my skin SO smooth and soft, i have fairly oily skin, especially around my t-zone and it helped so so much!! Left zero residue or irritation. I didn't even end up doing a double cleanse like i intended, i was also cleaning all day the night before and felt so gross. There's zero scent, came sealed, and works amazingly! I've always been against oil based cleanser but this is amazing

The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser is a gentle yet effective cleanser that removes makeup and impurities without stripping the skin. Its plant-derived squalane base leaves the skin feeling soft and hydrated. The formula is free from alcohol, oil, and silicones, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. However, some users have reported a strong, unpleasant odor developing after a few months of use, even when stored properly. Despite this, many find it to be an affordable and reliable option for daily cleansing.

This product is amazing! Takes off all your make sure and makes your face feel nice and clean after a long day at work!

Love this stuff, I can't say enough good about it! I have large pores and sensitive skin. This stuff 3 times a week makes a huge difference with minimizing pores and improving skin texture. I am never without it!

Cleanses well and does not dry out the skin. Great daily cleanser.

Meh, it’s not my favorite. It smells…odd. It doesn’t have a strong smell, but the smell is odd. It works fine. You get a small amount, though. After using this, I got the TirTir cleansing balm and I love that so much more!
