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!2301 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 4 out of 5verified customer
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.1 product in post Thought for a long time this was a bad buy, but...57 views - The post was made 1 monthRating: 4 out of 5verified customer

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!1 product in post Love it, used for years!795 views - The post was made 3 monthsRating: 3 out of 5verified customer
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.1 product in post Works but not the best951 views - The post was made 5 monthsRating: 5 out of 5
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.1 product in post Simple and effective1277 views - The post was made 9 monthsRating: 5 out of 5verified customer

Delicate Power of Cleansing
This product is minimalism at its best. The cleansing emulsion from The Ordinary surprised me with its effectiveness, despite its very simple formula – or maybe precisely because of it! Squalane Cleanser is a product with a pleasant, creamy-oily consistency that transforms into a velvety emulsion when rubbed in the hands. I used it as the first step in makeup removal (it works great!) and as a gentle face wash in the morning or evening – and in both roles, it performs very well. The biggest pros? + Effectively dissolves makeup, SPF filters, and impurities, + Does not dry out the skin, + Does not leave a greasy layer, but also does not give a feeling of tightness – the skin feels clean, but soft and comfortable after use. Thanks to the squalane content, the emulsion has moisturizing and soothing properties – ideal for dry, sensitive, and dehydrated skin. And it doesn’t clog pores or cause irritation, which was crucial for me. It has no scent, which may be a plus for some and a minus for others – but thanks to this, it works even on the most demanding skin. 💛 This is one of my favorite cleansers ever! I return to it regularly because I know I can always rely on it – regardless of skin condition or season. #lykoreview #lykocommunity1 product in post Delicate Power of Cleansing1728 views - The post was made 10 monthsRating: 4 out of 5verified customer
Love
I love this cleanser! It's the first oil-based cleanser I've used that doesn't give me breakouts. I have combination skin, so I use a water-based cleanser afterwards to avoid oily skin. It loses points for the price in relation to how long it lasts.1 product in post Love1562 views - The post was made 1 yearRating: 3 out of 5verified customer

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.
