My skin gets very oily on the surface and peels underneath, I started using the cleanser with a Vichy acne moisturizer and my skin finally feels like it’s going to fall off and disintegrate, definitely recommend (however it is not the best for clearing acne) Recommends this product ✔ Yes

Excessive Oiliness

Light Medium
This cleanser is gentle but super effective. I was a little hesitant to try it and thought it might leave my skin oily, but the opposite is true. I think the fact it's gentle and doesn't strip the skin means that my face produces less oil throughout the day, which means I'm less greasy and shiny. It hasn't irritated my mild eczema. I love a lot of The Ordinary products, but I'm especially happy with this one! Recommends this product ✔ Yes

I was never one to use skin products and then someone suggested the ordinary to start off with and I haven’t looked back since. It leaves my skin flawless and smooth.Would 10/10 recommend :) Recommends this product ✔ Yes

This is my absolute favorite and I cannot live without it. All cleansers leave my face feeling tight and dry and itchy, but because this has that oily texture, it really helps leave my skin feeling soft and shiny. It also does an ok job at removing makeup. Recommends this product ✔ Yes

I've been using another cleanser for literally 15 years (Eve Lom) but the price has gone up so much recently that I just couldn't justify it any longer. I've been searching for a new balm/oil type of cleanser, because I like the thorough cleanse you get with a balm. I have tried loads over the last year but FINALLY I have found The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser and this is the one :) I find this cleanses really well, I have used a micellar water on cotton wool afterwards and there is no remaining make-up on the cotton wool. It took me a minute to realise you have to warm it in your hands and on your face until it turns really slippy, but once I got that everything made sense. I don't wear loads of make-up, but it does take off eyeliner and the light foundation which I use just fine, with a single application. It makes my skin feel really smooth and plumped afterwards. I am literally over the moon that my cleanser costs have gone from £90 for 200ml to £13.90 for 150ml. Great product! Recommends this product ✔ Yes

Excessive Dryness

I've struggled with a combo of acne and eczema since I was a child and had a mother who was very into makeup and skincare so I got started on a skincare regimen at a young age. I've tried hundreds of products since I was in middle school. I've even tried a few products from the ordinary in the past but didn't find them effective. Now I believe that the ineffectiveness was mostly due to my own lifestyle factors. When I moved out for college I realized that my lifestyle really plays a part in how my skin looks and feels (diet, exercise, and especially stress). I began using completely natural products including oil cleansing and following with a gentle soap. After a couple years of this I found that it got the job done, but it was a lot of work and I felt like my skin could still improve quite a bit. So I finally decided to try the ordinary again, knowing that they use the bare essentials in their products, which makes me feel good, and I know won't flare up my sensitivities. I also remembered liking the texture of this product when I tried it as a teen. I'm so glad I tried it again!!!! It's like oil cleansing but easier and with better results! The key is to really massage it in before rinsing. I've been using it for a few weeks now and I genuinely get excited to was my face because I love it so much. My skin feels so hydrated and clean! This is seriously the only cleanser I will ever use!!!! Recommends this product ✔ Yes

I’m not sure if I’m using it wrong, but it never really felt like it cleaned my face. I always had to scrub with a face cloth to get my face to feel clean after using this. But scrubbing irritates me face. After a few months of using this (along with the anhydrous salicylic acid) I noticed more inflamed breakouts and congestion such as blackheads and whiteheads. I followed directions. Used it on a dry face. Rubbed the cleanser between my hands before applying. I would rub the cleaner until it became clear in colour, but after reading more reviews here, I wonder if I didn’t rub the cleanser in my hands enough. Recently I started using it again and I am rubbing it more vigorously between my hands first. I do notice that the cleanser feels oilier the more I rub, and the oilier I feels before applying, the better it seems to cleanse my face. I’ll update my review if it doesn’t break me out with this time.

Disclaimer I have always used face wash or foaming cleanser as I like my skin to feel clean. I'm new to anything oily and frankly I don't get this at all! I massage it in and then rinse off but my hands and face are still coated with oil. It might remove make up but my face it now very oily so to remove that I need an emulsifying face wash to remove that which adds an unnecessary step. What a shame. I don't get how people love this so much. I wish they'd make a proper face wash! Recommends this product ✘

So I bought this cleanser and have been using it RELIGIOUSLY because I know that consistency is key with skin care… my skin feels amazing after I use it but I’m finding that not even halfway through the day my skin looks like I have gone my entire life without washing it. My skin will look SO OILY and greasy. Perhaps the ordinary can give me some tips or offer a different product to use instead… I’ll walk into the bathroom halfway through my day and feel so embarrassed about how oily my skin looks… a problem I did not have before switching to products from the ordinary. I don’t want to give up hope though so I’m pushing through… Recommends this product ✘

I bought this a few weeks ago along with the moisturizer, matrixyl and niacinamide as my skin is acne prone. I normally used a Garnier cleanser which is cheap and simple and does tge trick but I felt like spoiling myself with some ‘luxury’ products and take my skincare to the next level. I HAVE NEVER HAD SO MANY BREAKOUTS IN MY LIFE! The so called cleanser clogged my pores and is oily to the point you could almost use it for deep frying chips. Recommends this product ✘
