Description

Description:

The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane is a lightweight facial oil that is derived from plants, offering intense hydration and skin replenishment. Squalane is a natural lipid produced by the skin, but its production decreases as we age. This product provides a vegan and cruelty-free alternative to traditional squalane sourced from sharks.

Benefits:

1. Hydration: Squalane is an excellent emollient, meaning it locks in moisture, keeping the skin hydrated and preventing water loss. It’s suitable for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin, as it moisturizes without leaving a greasy residue.
2. Softens and Smoothens: Regular use of 100% Plant-Derived Squalane can help soften and smooth the skin’s texture, making it feel supple and velvety. It aids in restoring the skin’s natural moisture barrier, which is essential for maintaining healthy, radiant skin.
3. Non-Comedogenic: This product is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores. It’s a great option for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin who are seeking hydration without risking breakouts.
4. Versatility: The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane can be used alone as a moisturizer or mixed with other skincare products to enhance their hydrating properties. It’s gentle and compatible with most skincare routines, making it a versatile addition to any regimen.
5. Antioxidant Properties: Squalane possesses antioxidant properties that help protect the skin from environmental stressors like pollution and UV radiation. By neutralizing free radicals, it aids in preventing premature aging and maintaining youthful-looking skin.

How to Apply:

1. Cleanse Your Skin: Start with a clean face by washing away dirt, makeup, and impurities with a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type.
2. Apply Water-Based Products (Optional): If you use any water-based serums or treatments, apply them before the squalane. Water-based products should be applied to freshly cleansed skin to ensure optimal absorption.
3. Dispense Squalane: Place 2-3 drops of The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane onto the palm of your hand. You may adjust the amount depending on your skin’s needs and preferences.
4. Warm the Oil: Rub your palms together to warm the squalane oil slightly. This helps it spread more easily and enhances absorption.
5. Gently Massage into Skin: Using your fingertips, gently massage the squalane oil into your skin using upward motions. Pay extra attention to areas that tend to be drier, such as cheeks and forehead.
6. Allow Absorption: Allow the oil to fully absorb into your skin before proceeding with any additional skincare products or makeup. This usually takes a minute or two.
7. Follow with SPF (Daytime): If you’re using squalane during the daytime, follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
8. Use Daily: For best results, incorporate The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane into your skincare routine both morning and night. Consistent use will help maintain hydrated, healthy-looking skin over time.
