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.

Really good
It's a great makeup remover that leaves my skin clean without stripping it. It dissolves makeup just perfectly without irritating my eyes and my sensitive skin feels just great after this cleanser. I'll definitely repurchase it, and I wish The Ordinary offered it in a larger tube... 150 ml? Would be a dream come true!

Not sure...
I love the concept of the product and I love the brand, but it feels like it leaves a layer of grease and doesn’t remove makeup as deeply as other oils. (Bodyshop for instance) Very inexpensive!

Brilliant... but!
Great cleanser, removes every scrap of make up leaving the skin soft and smooth. Only complaint is the amount of product. Although it appeared to be sealed, the container seemed half empty when it arrived and having used it for barely 2 weeks it is now almost gone completely.

Love this!
I used to use Clinique's cleansing balm but when it ran out I had a week to go before payday so couldn't afford to replace it so tried this instead - I'll not buy the Clinique stuff again as this is equally as good and so much cheaper. Lasts ages and takes off all my masses of mascara without stinging my eyes. Sorry Clinique, I did love you but I love my squalane even more.

Wow!
I'm a sucker for balm cleansers, my usual rotation is Clinique's take the day off, Eve Lom, EH Moringa Balm and more recently DE Slaii. After using this cleanser, it is the softest my face has ever felt after cleansing, I will definitely be purchasing the bigger size, I'm hooked!

Amazing
Double cleansing is my religion and I loved this. Most oil or balm cleansers are either cheap and bad or good and overpriced. This is cheap but reeeeally good, like better than some of the most popular ones. This leaves no residue! I prefer this to the Clinique Take the Day Off Cleanser! My only issue is that the size is way too small for an oil cleanser, should be like double or triple the size, it runs out for me in like 3 maybe 4 weeks.

Amazing product
I was so keen to try out this product since it was announced because I LOVE The Ordinary brand and this did not disappoint - in fact, it impressed me so much. It really is so gentle on my skin and doesn't dry it out at all. My face feels so soft and hydrated afterwards which is amazing. As for removing makeup... YES! It did a fantastic job removing my makeup and I was shocked. This product definitely does everything it claims to do and I absolutely love it. I will definitely purchase it again

One of the best!
I use this as part of my double cleansing routine. Love how it doesn’t strip the skin, it really is gentle, my face feels soft afterwards. But it takes a while to turn into oil tho... gotta really work it out. That part really baffles me. I probably squeezed a little too much. But once it’s nice and oily, it removes all traces of makeup effortlessly! Doesn’t sting the eye even. Already on my 3rd!
