Key Ingredients:
- Squalane (100% plant-derived) – A lightweight, stable lipid that mimics the skin’s natural oils, providing deep hydration, enhancing softness, and supporting barrier function without clogging pores.
Texture & Finish:
- Skincare: Lightweight, silky oil texture that absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a heavy or greasy residue, delivering a soft, satin-like finish and a healthy, natural glow.
- Haircare: Sheer, non-sticky oil that glides through hair easily, leaving strands smoother and shinier without weighing them down.
- Makeup use: Can be mixed with foundation or applied under makeup to create a smoother base and a subtle, dewy finish.
How to Use:
- Cleanse the face thoroughly and pat dry.
- Apply your water-based serums and treatments first (such as hyaluronic acid or niacinamide) and allow them to absorb.
- Dispense a few drops of The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane Oil into the palms and gently press or massage onto face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area.
- Use once or twice daily, in the morning and/or evening, as the last step of your skincare routine or before a heavier cream if desired.
- For hair: Apply a small amount to damp or dry hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. For body, lips, hands, feet, and cuticles, massage a few drops into clean skin as needed.
