    So good
    I've been using this cleanser for several years and it's amazing! I have sensitive skin that is prone to eczema, and this is the only cleanser that has worked for me that doesn't dry out my skin or make it oily. Super good!

    Question
    Hi! Do I need to double cleanse with this? I prefer cleansing just once since I have sensitive but acne prone skin :)

    💗 The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser – gentle cleansing with a soft finish ✨
    A good facial cleanser is the foundation of every skincare routine, and I especially like products that cleanse effectively without leaving the skin feeling dry or tight afterward. The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser is a great option for those who want a mild but effective cleanser focused on skin comfort. 💕 What makes this product extra interesting is its content of squalane, a moisturizing ingredient that helps the skin retain its hydration. The cleanser has a balm-like texture that melts into a more oily texture when massaged between the hands. It helps dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and everyday impurities without feeling unnecessarily drying. I really like this type of cleanser because it makes it easy to remove the day’s makeup while maintaining a pleasant feeling on the skin. It also works well as the first step in a double cleansing routine but can also be used as a simple cleanser when you want to keep your routine smooth. ✨ Another thing I appreciate is that the formula is designed to suit different skin types, including dry and sensitive skin. It feels like a well-thought-out product for those who want to prioritize gentle cleansing while giving the skin a little extra care. Overall, The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser is a really nice option for those looking for a mild cleanser that effectively dissolves makeup and impurities. Simple, versatile, and a lovely step in daily skincare! 💗

    Cleanser
    Love this! Have repurchased it maybe 10 times. So good for removing makeup! However, I use another cleanser afterwards because I don't think you should only use an oil-based cleanser!

    Love it! Not just like — love!
    It took me a while to understand how to use it. But when I realized I had to massage it into my face until it changed consistency, everything got so much better. I always, always go back to this cleanser. Even though it’s super fun to try new products, none really quite measure up to this one. I’ve never had skin as nice as when I’m good at using this consistently. When I cleanse my face, I can literally feel it pulling out blackheads and other impurities from the skin as I massage around my face — and that’s exactly what I never experience with any other cleanser. 🙀 ✨ How to use it: ✨ 💗 Experiment to find the right amount depending on how much makeup you have on your skin. Spread the product in dry hands before applying it all over your face, also dry. Start in the middle, at the nose, and work outward. Massage until you find a spot on your skin where the cleanser suddenly glides off, going from a bit grainy to completely smooth and like a thin oil. 💗 Once you have that same oily consistency all over your face, take the time you feel you need. This is the phase where the product works best. Cleanse your face until you’re satisfied you’ve removed everything. Don’t forget behind your ears, under your nose and down your neck, and places where you apply contour and powder, which aren’t necessarily in the middle of your face. 💗 Don’t be too impatient — I get that it’s boring to stand and massage your face and get tired of it. But spend a few minutes on each area of your face. That way you get a proper cleanse. Rinse off and enjoy 🥰, then continue with toner and the rest of your skincare routine. ⚠️ Step 1: Apply product over and under your eyelashes. Let the product sit there and "melt" mascara and eye makeup gently. Not soft enough yet? Move on and check later. When the lashes are soft enough, you can gently massage the eye makeup away from there too. ⚠️⚠️ When I have medium or heavy makeup on, I usually have The Ordinary Glucoside Foaming Cleanser by the sink next to me. I use it as cleansing step number 2. I always have a towel between my legs when I wash my face (easy access 😅) if I need to dry my hands or something along the way. Then I rinse off the squalane cleanser and go straight to the glucoside cleanser since my face is already wet. I wash my face with it, and the last bits of makeup, dirt, and grime from a whole day in your life disappear. 💗🥰 I hope those of you who have had negative experiences with this product will try it again, just this way. I think you’ll experience a totally different product than before! 💗🌸🫂

    Thought for a long time this was a bad buy, but...
    ...what a super cleanser! After understanding how I was actually supposed to use the cleanser, it has worked perfectly! Before, I just mixed it with water and slathered it on my skin, and I felt like it just sat as a film on top of the skin. I have dry and sensitive skin and use products with lots of plant oils. Therefore, I struggle with pores "clogging" on my nose and chin, causing many blackheads and flaky skin, which I end up over-exfoliating, making the skin produce even more (vicious circle). But this cleanser removes heavy products and lets the skin breathe (if I use it correctly). In the evening: I mix the cleanser in dry hands and apply it to a completely dry face. I gently massage the product into the skin, spending more time on the T-zone. After a short while, the cleanser becomes very thin (feels almost like water), and it seems like all the oil in the skin "releases" and the skin feels clean. I spend about 1 minute working the cleanser well into the skin. Then I rinse everything off with lukewarm water and apply serum/night cream. The only downside is that it doesn't remove eye makeup very well. Then I just go over with a mild micellar water containing hyaluronic acid. I don't always use this cleanser in the morning. I feel like the skin still feels "clean" when I wake up, and I find that it takes a bit of time before it works as it should (I don't have time to use it properly). So it's enough to rinse the face with water or go over with micellar water before serum and day cream.

    Love it, used for years!
    Been using this since I dropped the wipes, soft and lovely to remove makeup with. Not too bad if it slips into the eyes, and leaves the skin soft and nice!

    Works but not the best
    This is absolutely no bad cleanser, but I find that it needs to be followed up with a water-based cleanser for my skin to feel really clean (my skin is combination with oily t-zone and dry areas). However, this one is very good at "lifting" dirt out of the pores, so in a double cleanse routine it works perfectly. I do find that they run out quickly, and in relation to the price, it's not really worth it for me. To use less product, you can warm it up properly in your hands first, then it lasts longer.

    Simple and effective
    I have used up the entire package and can say that it is both simple and effective at removing makeup. The skin feels very clean and fresh afterwards.

The OrdinarySqualane Cleanser 50 ml

135 kr*

50 ml150 ml

Free delivery option available from 300 kr, can be sent immediately

* Cannot be combined with discount codes.

A Gentle, Moisturizing Facial Cleanser.

A gentle cleansing product formulated to target makeup removal whilst leaving the skin feeling smooth and moisturized. The formula incorporates Squalane, alongside other lipophilic esters that are gentle, moisturizing, efficient in dissolving makeup and facial impurities and increasing the spreadability of the product. When rubbed between your palms for approximately 10-30 seconds, the product undergoes an important textural change from a balm-like consistency to a clear oil-like consistency. This allows the emulsifying sucrose esters in the formula to trap and blend the dissolved makeup and facial impurities with water for rinsing. Being non-comedogenic and soap-free, this formula is designed to be gentle enough for daily use, without over-drying the skin, making it suitable for all skin types.

Use:
Dispense product into hands. Rub together to warm the product, allowing it to melt into an oil. Massage well onto dry face and rinse with warm water. If irritation occurs, cease use and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Refer to our in-depth guide to patch testing. Keep out of reach of children.
