The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser, 150 ml
The Squalane Cleanser is a gentle, moisturizing facial cleanser designed to efficiently remove makeup and impurities while leaving the skin feeling smooth and hydrated. The formula incorporates Squalane, a well-researched emollient, alongside other lipophilic esters that work to dissolve makeup and oil-based debris. When rubbed between your palms for 10–30 seconds, the product undergoes an important textural change from a balm-like consistency to a clear, oil-like spreadable oil. This allows the emulsifying esters to trap dissolved makeup and impurities so they can be rinsed away easily with water.
Features
- Squalane Base: A stable, skin-identical saturated hydrocarbon that provides exceptional hydration and prevents transepidermal water loss.
- Balm-to-Oil Technology: A unique textural shift that ensures deep penetration into pores without the need for harsh scrubbing.
- Soap-Free & Non-Comedogenic: Formulated to be highly compatible with all skin types, ensuring it won't clog pores or cause breakouts.
- pH Balanced: Designed to respect the skin's natural acidity, maintaining the health of the acid mantle.
Benefits
- Superior Makeup Removal: Effectively breaks down stubborn pigments, sunscreens, and urban pollutants.
- Barrier Support: Unlike traditional foaming gels, it replenishes the skin’s lipids while it cleanses, eliminating post-wash tightness.
- Softening Action: Leaves a noticeable "velvet" finish on the skin, making it an excellent prep for active serums.
- Universal Compatibility: Gentle enough for dry skin, yet effective enough for oily skin types seeking a deep, non-stripping clean.
Package Contents: 150 ml (5.07 oz) jumbo-sized squeeze tube.
Recommended Usage
- The Critical Step: Dispense a small amount into the palms and rub them together for about 10-20 seconds until you feel the product melt from a cream into an oil. Do not skip this step!
- Application: Massage the transformed oil onto a dry face. This allows the lipophilic esters to bond with your makeup and sebum.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with warm water. The oil will emulsify and wash away cleanly, leaving no greasy residue.
- Pro Tip: Use this as your "Step 1" in a double-cleansing routine. Follow with The Ordinary Glucoside Foaming Cleanser for a professional-grade deep clean.

- Fragrance-Free: Contains no artificial scents, making it ideal for reactive or allergy-prone skin.
