Squalane Cleanser, Facial Cleansing Balm and Hydrating Makeup Remover

I've been really happy with this squalane cleanser as a makeup-removing balm. It does a great job breaking down makeup and sunscreen without needing a lot of product or excessive rubbing. Everything melts away pretty easily, which makes taking off my makeup at the end of the day much less of a chore. One thing I especially like is using it in the shower. It's convenient to apply, rinse off, and continue the rest of my skincare routine all in one place. For an even deeper cleanse, I like to follow it up with The Ordinary Glucoside Foaming Cleanser. The combination works really well for me and helps ensure that all of my makeup is completely removed. Another plus is that it doesn't irritate my skin at all. My skin feels clean and comfortable afterward rather than stripped or tight. It also has a very neutral scent, which I appreciate since I don't enjoy heavily fragranced skincare products. Overall, this is a simple but effective cleansing balm that does exactly what I need it to do. If you're looking for a gentle makeup remover that gets the job done without irritating your skin, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a try!

This is kind of magical to me. It starts as a balm, becomes an oil when you emulsify it in your hands, then spreads beautifully as you massage it onto your face, dissolving EVERYTHING, including sunscreen and waterproof mascara, and then rinses off with zero residue, with your barrier 100% intact and your skin not depleted. Squalane is much like skins sebum which was a brilliant choice to use as the base instead of all the plant or synthetic oils used in all the other oil cleansers and balms.

Okay, I bought this on a whim. I have pretty severe sebaceous hyperplasia. I have had chemical peels. I’ve had them burned off, frozen, I’ve used topical retin A from my dermatologist. It always rages back. I saw a review say this stuff shrinks them and makes them much less visible. I was put off by the price, but let’s face it, I’ve dropped a lot more than this.My first wash, I did not use anything to remove my make up. I wanted to see if this got rid of it by what was left when I used my toner. Initially, I thought this stuff would be greasy. IT IS NOT! It COMPLETELY MELTED MY MAKE UP AWAY! I have used it daily for about two weeks. It is unlike anything I have ever used. It leaves my face clean, but not dry. It isn’t oily either, like some make up removers that then require soap and water. I have purchased most of the face cleaners in Ulta. I have never, in my oily 57 years, used anything like this. The price point is amazing considering what it does. It even removed my waterproof mascara???? I don’t know what is in this, and frankly I do not care. It’s hot where I live, and my SH is not growing. My skin feels clean. It’s not dry. It’s not greasy. I write reviews only occasionally, but I want others who have struggled with oily skin issues for years to know there’s something out there for us. I can’t speak to dry skin, but it feels extremely gentle. Am I rid of my excess oil completely? No, but I have other solutions in my toolbox for that. I will do without other things to buy this again and again. I love other products from The Ordinary, but THIS one is the Holy Grail. I still have bumps from SH. However, they are almost flat, and much less noticeable. For my fellow sufferers out there, this helped me. They’re no longer the first thing I see when I look in the mirror. I don’t feel like people see them and wonder what the heck is on my face. Many thanks to The Ordinary for a decently priced, effective product that does what it says.

Pros: • Very gentle on the skin and does not leave it dry. • Melts makeup and sunscreen easily when rubbed between hands. • Leaves skin soft and hydrated after washing. Cons: • Does not foam like traditional cleansers. • Texture feels thick until you warm it in your hands. • Heavy waterproof makeup may need a second cleanse. Overall, a great gentle cleanser that cleans well while keeping skin hydrated. ਇਹ ਕਲੀਨਜ਼ਰ ਬਹੁਤ ਹੀ ਨਰਮ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਚਿਹਰੇ ਨੂੰ ਸੁੱਕਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਦਾ। ਮੇਕਅਪ ਅਤੇ ਸਨਸਕ੍ਰੀਨ ਨੂੰ ਅਸਾਨੀ ਨਾਲ ਹਟਾ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਸਕਿਨ ਨੂੰ ਨਰਮ ਅਤੇ ਮੋਇਸ਼ਚਰਾਈਜ਼ਡ ਛੱਡਦਾ ਹੈ।

I wouldn’t say it’s the best but it gets the job done after two washes. Not really good for waterproof mascara. Skin is left feeling soft.

My favorite cleanser , I bought this one a million times , and still love it so much !

Best skin in decades after 1 week!!! I’m in my 50’s and have struggled with blemishes my entire adult life. I’ve consulted with aestheticians and tried everything from drugstore products to expensive products recommended by aestheticians. As I get older it has become more difficult to find a cleansing and moisturizing routine that doesn’t exasperate breakouts. I highly recommend your product line!!

I have such sensitive skin, and Rosacea Flares often. No reason, no sun, stress or product brings it on. The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser is my favorite. Since nothing makes a difference to my bright red cheeks, I use Squalane products where ever I can find them. I have read about it, and it is skin's best friend. I LOVE this cleanser, put it on while I'm in the bath, and my skin is as happy as it can be. 👍🥺🌷

Good for my sensitive skin. This is a step one of cleansing. You will need to use a water based cleanser to remove this product. I use Aveeno baby wash.

First of all, this has an oily texture so if you have acne or prone to spots you may want to check it with your skin doctor first. In my experience I can say that I absolutely love this product and it does clean and prepares my skin very well for the serum/cream after.

Un nettoyage efficace et très doux

This is really one of the best cleansers ever, only rival is Cerave IMO. Takes off make up really well
