FAQs

How often can I use The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser?

This cleanser is gentle enough for daily use, both morning and night, as part of your regular skincare routine.

Do I need to use this on dry or wet skin?

It is most effective when applied to dry skin. This allows the balm-to-oil transformation to properly dissolve makeup and impurities before water is introduced.

Can I use this to remove eye makeup?

Yes, it is suitable for removing eye makeup. Gently massage it over closed eyes. It is ophthalmologist-tested but always exercise caution around the delicate eye area.

Is this product suitable for acne-prone skin?

Yes, its non-comedogenic and soap-free formula means it won't clog pores or strip the skin, making it suitable for acne-prone skin types.

Is this cleanser fragrance-free?

Yes, The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser is formulated without added fragrances, making it suitable for those sensitive to scents.

What is Squalane and what does it do in a cleanser?

Squalane is a highly effective emollient and natural component of the skin. In a cleanser, it helps to hydrate and soften the skin while also assisting in dissolving oil-based impurities and makeup without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier.

How much product should I use per cleanse?

A pea-sized amount is typically sufficient. Warm it well between your palms until it transforms into an oil before massaging onto your face.

Troubleshooting

Balm not transforming into oil easily.

Ensure you are warming the balm sufficiently between your palms for the recommended 10-30 seconds. The warmth from your hands is essential for the transformation. If your hands are particularly cold, rub them together first to generate some heat.

Not effectively removing stubborn or waterproof makeup.

Try using a slightly larger amount of product and massage it into the skin for an extended period (e.g., 60 seconds) to allow the ingredients more time to dissolve the makeup. For very stubborn eye makeup, gently massage the product onto the area with eyes closed before rinsing.

Skin feels like there's a residue after rinsing.

Ensure you are rinsing thoroughly with lukewarm water. The sucrose esters are designed to help emulsify the oil for a clean rinse. If residue persists, ensure you haven't used an excessive amount of product, and consider following with a water-based cleanser if double cleansing.
