The Ordinary Squalene Cleanser

The Ordinary Squalene Cleanser

This is no ordinary gentle cleanser—it removes impurities and makeup while retaining your skin’s moisture content, so you won’t have to worry about your skin feeling tight after using it. The main ingredient is squalane, a potent hydrator that is naturally present in your skin and helps to prevent moisture loss and boost suppleness. It works in tandem with other lipophilic esters to dissolve impurities and makeup for clean, unclogged pores. The hardworking formula feels balm-like when applied, but when warmed into your skin, it transforms into a clear oil-like texture. Because it doesn’t contain soap, which can irritate or “strip” the skin, this crowd-pleasing cleanser is ideal for all skin types, even those with sensitive skin.
