I’m 34 years old and have been trying different skincare things since I was a young teen. This is BY FAR my favourite cleanser. My skin has never felt so good. It is an oil cleaner so you have to do it properly (no water at first- on a dry face)… I almost wonder if the bad reviews are just improper use. I also use a washcloth if I’m removing makeup and sometimes will double wash to make sure but I don’t mind because it feels so good! My biggest complaint is the supply! Need more 150 mls please :) Recommends this product ✔ Yes

I bought my first Squalane Cleanser 1 year ago and it was a perfect match since day one. It was my first cleanser of this kind and usually my skin becomes especially tight and dry after cleaning step, so toning solution is inevitable. But with Squalane Cleanser this problem disappeared right after the first use. Skin surface changed, it is smooth and even, like right after the professional treatment done by cosmetologist. Significantly less clogged pores. Highly recommend and love it.It will not balance the extraction of sebum itself only, but in combination with Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum the result is very good for combination / oily prone skin type.

I love this cleanser! 4 Stars only because the last while I have been unable to purchase 150mL bottles. I hate using 3x the plastic and am not a fan of paying more for a smaller amount. When will the 150mL bottles be back in stock?? Thanks. Recommends this product ✔ Yes

Tried it at a sleepover not expecting it to work on all my black makeup which normally doesn't budge without a heavy oil or a lot of scrubbing but removed all makeup and left my skin feeling soft and not dried out at all. Now I use only this brand for face care. Recommends this product ✔ Yes

So I know there’s reviews that say like it doesn’t cleanse as much as they want, so I want to start off by saying I double cleanse. I cleanse with a foaming cleanser pat dry my face and then follow up with this cleanser. I’ve applied astringent, alcohol, toner and micelles water throughout two weeks to see whether or not there was dirt leftover after my cleanse. There wasn’t at all, keep in mind it is mild. I myself have combination skin, crazy enough after I did the extra steps my face wasn’t dry after following up with the moisturizer following my stripping steps lol! I do highly suggest this product, but more for a “I haven’t done much” rather than a full face beat, in which case I would definitely double cleanse and use this second. It does leave your skin feeling nice afterwards IN MY OPINION, if you do the first cleanse, if not I found it felt like weightier if that makes sense. Like there was a leftover, because it is supposed to be hydrating as well. However I did try it for a few weeks with no double cleanse and I can say I went from a pimple one-two times a week, to 1-2 a month. So it doe’s definitely work, if you have a good system it works better. Recommends this product ✔ Yes

This cleanser is absolutely amazing! It melts makeup away and leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh. I already feel like my skin looks better already after 1 week and it cleans my pores better than anything else I’ve tried. Follow the directions and do not wet your face first. 10/10 would recommend.

I really like how my skin feels after this, however there are a couple of issues that will stop me using it which is a shame.I don’t think it removes make-up anywhere near as well as the squalene cleanser. And, most annoyingly; it causes subsequent items in my regimen to pil on my skin - has anyone else found this? My regimen is the same as before bar the cleanser so I know it must be that. I’ve been ‘extra’ rinsing and it still happens and it’s putting me off using.

Excessive Dryness

Don't love the texture and actually find the smell off-putting. Find it strips my skin too much. I love the squalane cleanser and was expecting a similar level of gentleness, but this glycolipid one leaves my skin feeling tight and visibly drier. It does not properly clean off my non-waterproof mascara, which is one of the only makeup products I wear most days.

I still get hormonal acne from time to time but since switching to this cleanser I’ve had constant huge and painful pimples. I went back to my regular cleanser and they started going away. Unfortunately not for me

This item is just okay. It didn't blow me away. It is much more gentle than anticipated. It does not remove make up at all with water, and even with a face cloth it requires being used twice. I use it as part of a triple cleansing routine now just to get rid of it. I would only recommend using this product if you have just woken up (after cleansing your face at night), and even then it does not feel as though it removes sweat or impurities in the crevices of your nose. I won't be re-buying the product. The feel is silky and nice, but it doesn't cut it for a cleanser. It was a flop for me. I thought about rating it 1 star but I thought that was a little harsh as the packaging is nice, the feel and consistency is nice, and washing your face with it feels nice but overall it has had no results and does not really do much for your skin.

Save yr money bc this cleanser honestly is aweful bc its very stripping. Im a makeup artist and I had an event so I had thought I'd try this the week prior. Big mistake my skin was badly striped and severely red. Luckily I went to a dermatologist and he saved my skin just in time for my event. I love all other products the ordinary has. Please try the squalene cleanser. Much better.

This product made my skin break out and stripped it. My skin went from beautiful to aweful. It's more of a cleanser that should only be used to exfoliate. It messed my skin up bc it doesn't say that on it. Look at the ingredients.
