Light hydrating oil
I purchased this as I had a flare up on my face, anything I used irritated my skin. This seemed to calm my skin and perfectly and hydrate my skin.

Swear by this stuff.
I love how it remains on your skin all day. Some might say it's oily but that's kind of the point in my opinion.

Not suitable for sensitive skin
I reacted badly to this product, a minute after applying the squalane my skin felt like it was on fire and I had to wash it off. It's the only The Ordinary product I've tried that has done this.

Excellent Moisturising Oil
I love this squalane. A lot of high end moisturisers contain squalane because of its brilliant moisturisation factors. I use this at night to water down my retinol so that I can build my resistance up. I add in Marula oil & Rosehip I seriously look so greasy when I go to bed , but once I put a night cream over the oils it seems to keep the oils in place & I wake up in the morning with plump glowing skin, it is fabulous for your hair too, I often go to bed with my hair in a conditioning pack , but cover my hair with coconut oil & some squalane, argon & marula oil, when you wash it out in the morning your hair is so shiny.

Meh.
I wanted to try a new moisturiser and thought that maybe this would be okay. But for me this didn't work that well. I have normal/oily and acne prone skin, so I don't need any heavy moisturisers and this was to heavy. It didn't sink in to my skin almost at all. I could wait for 3 hours and it would still be sitting on top on my skin like an oil. I am not a fan of the oil "feeling" it gave on my skin. It literally felt like I had put olive oil all over my skin. I did however like to mix it in with my foundation, but it also made my foundation unable to kind of "set" so I had to put a lot of powder over and that kind of destroyed some of the purpose. All in all I think that the product did what it claimed to do, just not for people with normal/oily skin or people who don't like the feeling of oils on their face.

Perfect for Night Time Moisturising
My friend, who I consider to be beauty expert, recommended this product and I absolutely love it! I've recently turned 37 and I feel like the moisturising effect of this has helped turn back the clock to my early 30s. I do find it quite oily so I apply it at night and I wake up with glorious skin!

Best PM Moisture Surge
I love this for my PM routine to put the moisture back into my face after stripping off all the grime and dirt of the day! A little goes a long way so I don't use more than 5 drops at a time - excess can be applied to the neck! Soft glowy skin in the morning! In the winter this is fine as an AM moisturizer but definitely not in summer. I have combo skin and I would look like a disco ball.

Oily
Guess I shouldn't be too critical given the price, but this is very oily indeed. I have quite dry skin and, even at the end of the day, it still hasn't soaked in if I apply in the morning.

Love it!
Most oils cause me to break out – this doesn’t. I work in a cold environment, so I use it when my skin is very dry and needs extra hydration; which means most of the time. However, lately, I have been loving using it with my foundation! Leaves my skin looking smooth and moisturized. It’s magical.

fantastic night treatment
Takes quite a while to sink into skin, I just put it on around an hour before bed and my skin is super hydrated in the morning. I personally couldn't use it in my morning routine because it made me look far too shiny, but it's fantastic for using at night. Had made my dry skin far better overall.
