The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane

The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane is a pure, lightweight oil designed to hydrate and protect the skin while improving its texture and elasticity. Squalane is a natural emollient that mimics the skin’s own sebum, making it highly effective for all skin types.

Key Benefits of Plant-Derived Squalane:

1. Deep Hydration:

• Squalane helps to lock in moisture, keeping the skin soft, smooth, and hydrated without feeling heavy or greasy.

2. Balances Oil Production:

• Suitable for oily and acne-prone skin as it provides hydration without clogging pores, potentially reducing excess sebum production.

3. Improves Skin Elasticity:

• Boosts skin suppleness and helps maintain its natural barrier function.

4. Soothes and Calms Skin:

• Ideal for sensitive or irritated skin, it reduces redness and irritation caused by dryness or environmental factors.

5. Multi-Functional:

• Can be used on hair to add shine and prevent split ends or on the body for extra hydration.

6. Non-Comedogenic and Lightweight:

• Does not clog pores, making it suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone and sensitive skin.

Usage Instructions:

1. When to Use:

• Use it daily, in the morning and/or evening, as the last step in your skincare routine.

2. How to Apply:

• Apply a few drops to your face and neck after serums and before sunscreen (morning) or after moisturizer (evening).

• Gently massage it into the skin until fully absorbed.

3. For Hair:

• Rub a small amount between your palms and apply it to clean, damp hair, focusing on the ends to reduce frizz and improve shine.

4. For Body:

• Apply it to dry areas like elbows, knees, or hands for added hydration.

Who Should Use Squalane?

• Dry Skin: Provides a hydration boost and prevents moisture loss.

• Oily/Combination Skin: Lightweight and non-greasy, making it ideal for balancing oil production.

• Sensitive Skin: Soothes irritation and calms redness.

• Aging Skin: Helps maintain skin elasticity and suppleness.

Tips for Best Results:

• Pair with hydrating products like The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 for enhanced hydration.

• Can be used over active ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, or AHAs to mitigate dryness or irritation.

• Use sparingly on hair to avoid weighing it down.
