Quench thirsty skin and locks with The Ordinary’s 100% Plant-Derived Hemi-Squalane; an effective emollient that helps to reduce skin’s loss of hydration that weakens elasticity and suppleness. A non-polar hydrocarbon produced from the fermentation of sugar-based feedstock, the fast-absorbing, non-greasy hydrator penetrates skin with superior spreadability, thanks to its low molecular weight, feeding back lost moisture. Ideal for taming hair frizz and flyaways, the versatile hydrating solution leaves skin and tresses replenished and strengthened.
Free from water, alcohol, oil, silicone and allergens (nut, glutens).

Face Changing
After using all kinds of stuff over the years I have found my holy grail. I have rosacea, large pores, dryness, oily skin and general texture. Everything, from cheap to expensive, blocked my pores and didn't work for all areas. This stuff is non comodogenic so I no longer get the little keratin filaments in my nose (the skin oils coming out of pores like tiny filaments) and my skin is 100% better for using this. Only issue is I had to order 3 times as the first 2 bottles lid wasn't on right and it leaked in transit. But worth the wait!

Brilliant staple
My skincare routine now only consists of The Ordinary products - I managed to find the right products and routine to me and my skin has been glowy ever since! This hemi-squalene is an absolute staple - like a very light, moisturising serum - I use this as a moisturizer straight out of the shower daily. It soaks in to the skin easily, the consistency is almost like water. Just a few drops are needed, so the bottle lasts a long time. The 100% Plant Derived Squalene by contrast is much heavier and oily, and is great to use before bed.

Great for thirsty skin
Another great product at a fantastic price. Recommend all of The Ordinary products - so much cheaper and just as effective as a lot if the luxury high end and over priced skin care.

Mum loves this
I purchased this for my mum as a serum and she absolutely loves it. It has a very thin consistency, but absorbs and spreads very well. It has helped even her skin tone and helped with fine lines, it’s also very affordable, and you don’t need very much of it to do the trick. My mum has combination skin, which is very sensitive, and this has been wonderful. Would definitely recommend!

Ok
I’ve been using this product for about 3 weeks and I’m still not sure what I think of it. It has a really strange consistency it’s like water and is gentle on the skin. When it’s first applied it is greasy however it does skin in well. I use this in my nighttime regime as I don’t like how long you have to leave it to skin in before applying make up. It has softened my skin after using a treatment for fungal acne which was very drying and it’s a good alternative to using a facial oil but I’m not sure if I will repurchase.

In love
I used this product in my hair and it’s left it so soft and shiny. My daughter also used it on some spots and it took the redness down really quickly. Will defiantly buy again!
