The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser Review: Is It Good?

Today we have The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser Review because some of you asked me to test it out and share the findings.

I used this for almost one month, and today I’m sharing everything, including what is good and evil.

 

Let’s get started!

The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser Review

According to the brand, the Squalane Cleanser is a product that aims to remove makeup and moisturize the skin.

The formula has squalane oil, which efficiently removes makeup and impurities from the skin.

Who Can Use The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser?

Being non-comedogenic and soap-free, this cleanser is excellent for everyday use without drying out the skin, suitable for all skin types.

But let’s look at some reviews based on different skin types.

How To Use The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser?

Rub the product between your fingers with dry hands for 10 to 30 seconds until the texture becomes like a balm. 

Then, just massage your dry face until all the makeup has melted. 

Finally, just rinse your face with water and, if you prefer, finish cleaning with facial soap.

The Ordinary Squalane Cleanse Dry Skin Review

Lola has dry skin, and I asked her to test the ordinary squalane cleanser for 15 days.

In the following lines, she reports what she found about this cleanser:

Hi guys, it’s Lola here, and I tested this product for 15 days just to write this ordinary squalane cleanser review.

I liked this cleanser’s thick, creamy texture, which is excellent for a quick massage.

To apply it, you need to put a little bit of product on the hands and hub it a bit so you can melt it out.

As I mentioned, I like to massage my face for about 2 minutes every day, so it worked well for that, as the cream becomes a sort of oil that feels nice.

It did not irritate my skin, and despite the oily final texture, it did not make my skin sticky or something like that.

So far, so good, but I didn’t think it was powerful enough to remove all my makeup compared to other cleansers I have used.

The other point is that it takes time to melt, which would be a problem for those days when I am in a hurry or just lazy falling asleep after a night out.

I didn’t like using another product to remove makeup, as I had to use makeup remover even after a double-cleansing.

That’s it; I hope you enjoyed this review!

The Ordinary Squalane Cleanse Combination Skin Review

Now that you read Lola’s review for dry skin let’s read Juma’s review.

Juma has combination skin and has tested and tried this cleanser for 15 days.

Here’s what she has to say about it:

Hello everyone, it is Juma here, and I have combination skin.

I can consider this product a creamy cleanser that becomes a cleansing oil after applying it to your hands and hub it for a few seconds.

This is not very practical, but the product does what it says about makeup removal.

However, it won’t provide a complete makeup cleansing if you want to remove heavy makeup.

My advice is to use it as a morning cleanser, as you won’t probably need something vital right after waking up.

As a combination skin person, I thought it would make my skin sticky and shiny.

The Ordinary Squalane Cleanse Oily Skin Review (My Review)

So far, you have seen the reviews from two of my friends, one with dry skin and the other with combination skin.

I have oily skin, and now I’m sharing my impressions after using this product for almost one month.

As for my friend Lola, I like to do a facial massage (when I am in the mood to do so…)

But to be honest, most of the time, I either forget or don’t have the time or for one reason or another, I leave it for tomorrow (which keeps on happening..)

But, the product is excellent for a facial massage, as you will save money and time; you don’t have an extra cream to massage your face.

This is a great point.

The time it takes for the cream to become oil doesn’t bother me as it can take only a few seconds, so I don’t think it is a big deal.

I didn’t like that much because, pretty much like my friends, I thought it was not powerful enough to remove heavy makeup.

Often, there are days I don’t use makeup at all, so I am ok with that, as I didn’t waste my money, as there are plenty of days I can use it on my bare face and feel my skin is cleansed enough.

However, if you are heavy on makeup and stuff, you will need something more powerful.

Is It Good For Sensitive And Acne Prone Skin?

Apart from oily skin, I also have sensitive acne-prone skin, and some products may clog my pores, giving me pinpoints the next day.

Does The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser Clog Pores?

A good point of this cleanser is that it is gentle on my sensitive skin and does not clog my pores, so I like that.

I found this cleanser to be very hydrating in terms of skin texture.

It won’t give me a matte effect as I can feel the skin get dewy, but it didn’t let my skin feel sticky.

Overall I like this product and recommend it if you use a bare face or a little makeup.

The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser Key Ingredients

I’m not going to place the entire list, as it is safer to check it directly on the fabricant’s site because formulations may vary.

However, let’s take a few minutes to get to know the key ingredients of The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser.

Squalane

As the name of the product states, squalane is the most concentrated ingredient in this product.

Squalene is a substance naturally produced by human skin from birth, with the function of hydrating and maintaining the skin’s protective barrier, preventing signs of premature aging and other factors that favor the appearance of spots and dermatitis. 

However, squalene production slows down considerably after thirty (and other structural elements such as collagen and elastin).

Squalane is recognized as the most potent moisturizer in biology. 

As it is a biocompatible product, the skin absorbs it quickly, without leaving an oily and sticky feeling. As a result, it is suitable for all skin types.

Glycerin

Glycerin has emollient, lubricating, humectant, moisturizing and hygroscopic properties that contribute to the absorption of water in the skin and hair, promoting hydration and softness.

Vitamin E 

Also known as tocopherol, the substance is a potent antioxidant that helps prevent damage caused by free radicals, slowing down aging, and preventing skin cancer.

Malic Acid

When applied to the skin, malic acid reduces age traces, removes dead cells, and is also used to promote acne treatment. 

In addition, it keeps the skin hydrated and, consequently, with its youthful and firm appearance.

At the same time, this acid is also linked to collagen production in the body. 

Therefore, it helps maintain the skin’s firmness; it can also reverse the appearance of skin blemishes by sunlight.

The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser Review Final Takes

At the end of The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser works fine for cleansing and makeup removal.

But you need to pay attention because it won’t remove heavy makeup.

Even though this cleanser is ideal for all skin types, it works better for those with dry skin because it is very hydrating and gives you a dewy skin effect.

However, if you have oily, sensitive, and acne-prone skin, you can still use this product, as it is very gentle and won’t clog your pores.
