Stripping back unnecessary packaging and misleading ingredients, The Ordinary offers an abundance of brilliant, high-performance products at eye-wideningly reasonable prices – and their Squalane Cleanser is no exception! Carefully formulated for all skin types, this clever potion dissolves make up and the day's dirt while simultaneously moisturising with a combination of squalane and other lipophilic esters.
This gentle cleanser is anything but ordinary, removing make up and impurities as it retains your skin's moisture – unlike some harsher cleansers, there's no need to worry about tightness after using this. Star of the show is squalane, a first-class hydrator that's found naturally in the skin, helping to prevent loss of moisture and boost suppleness. This combines with other lipophilic esters to dissolve make up and unwanted grime for clean and clog-free pores. The hard-working formula feels balm-like when first applied, changing to a clear oil-like texture when warmed into your skin – an important feat that allows emulsifying sucrose esters to capture the dissolved make up and dirt and rinse them away. Free from soap, which can cause irritation or 'strip' the skin, this crowd-pleasing cleanser respects your complexion's natural epidermal lipids, making it suitable for all skin types – even sensitive ones.

Very impressed
I have very dry skin but also very prone to acne lump flares ..This thoroughly cleaned and moisturised my skin and it did not make me break out at all. My skin felt smooth like satin and it actually reduced some wrinkling I had and I love the fact it is only tested on humans, it is very reasonably priced. All of the benefits none of the hype

Good product, ridicolous wasteful packaging
The cleanser itself is lovely, amazing texture and melts away makeup. However for a cleanser to come in a 50ml bottle is not just a ridiculous idea but also very bad for the environment as you will go through one every 2-3 weeks. If The Ordinary is committed to sustainability they should change this to come in a tube/bottle of at least 120ml (or ideally 190ml). If this happened I would give 5 stars for sure.

I have sensitive oily skin
It’s really good! Especially for this price. Didn’t break me out at all, which surprised me. I find it a first alright stage cleanser. It’s good. It doesn’t smell, it kind of break out into oil rather slowly, but other than that, it’s really a good price-quality ratio.

Not suited for sensitive skin
It melts all of the make up really fast but, unfortunately, it leaves my skin red and irritated. I have combination skin. Doesn't have a strong smell which I like.

It does what it says
I love cleansers in general and this product was no disappointment. My skin feels incredibly polished and like skin after I use it. I would love if it came in a bigger size. Also note that I rarely use makeup, I just like how it makes my skin feel.

My Skin Felt Summer Soft In The Winter
I’m not an expert on creams, the last I used was the Nivea two in one toner and cleanser but this made my skin feel so soft. It’s winter so my skin has been dry and this gave moisture back to my face without making it feel greasy. It was very easy to make the cream turn into an oil consistency however a little goes a long way in my experience.

Broke out in spot
I loved how nice the product felt when applying but unfortunately it did not agree with me. I brought this as a cheap alternative to get me by until payday but it broke me out in spots.

Squalene
Decent make up remover/cleanser. Such good value. Face feels clean and not too tight afterwards. Easily rinses off with water. Gets waterproof eye makeup off too. It's very gentle.
