High quality, lightweight, moisturizing, non-greasy, and AFFORDABLE squalane oil
This product is fantastic. Honestly, it's better than fantastic. Could it be, dare I say, a Holy Grail?I have sensitive, acne prone, oily/combination skin with rosacea and I have SUCH a hard time finding a traditional moisturizer that isn't too heavy and doesn't break me out, but is also hydrating enough to keep my skin from drying out and getting flaky. A few months ago I was really struggling with yet another bout of congestion and irritation and I decided to forget "moisturizer" all together and focus in on maximizing my hydration levels with toners/serums. Immediately my skin starting looking calmer and clearer, but I would still end up feeling slightly dry and tight by the end of the day and in the morning when I woke up.Enter The Ordinary Squalane Oil.This stuff is amazing. I started mixing a couple drops of squalane in with a small amount of my favorite toner (Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioner) in my hands and gently pressing it into my skin it all over my face as the last step of my routine. Within like, 48 hours my tightness/dryness had completely disappeared. Seriously, I am not exaggerating. My skin felt so comfortable and just like, "normal". Not too oily or too dry or too suffocated, just healthy. Sometimes I'll pat an extra drop of the oil in around my more sensitive areas like my eyes and mouth if I want a little extra nourishment, but most of the time I don't feel like I even need it.The oil itself is really lightweight and not greasy feeling at all. Most oil type products sit on top of my skin and feel suffocating, but this one sinks right in. It feels almost like it's just a natural a part of my skin that's supposed to be there. And really, that "my skin but better" feeling makes so much sense because squalane is just a more stable, (and in this case) plant derived version of squalene (with an E) which is a naturally occurring lipid found in our skin.Anyway, I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone with sensitive and/or acne prone combination skin who is looking for lightweight, non-greasy facial oil with a natural, skin-like feel.Ver másVer menos
