I have very sensitive and pimple prone skin with dry patches and have been using the ordinary squalane over my moisturizer. for one year now I love it because it does not break me out, smells nothing, and it leave a kind of soft "layer" on my skin that is not greasy, and it really helps with dry patches. So to sum up: squalane is a good moisturizer suitable for sensitive skin, nothing more, nothing less.

Hmmm ... she already tells you exactly what lines to buy tho. Although, I would definitely be interested as I’m a fan of her routine.

I'm very acne prone with combo skin and have been using pure squalane oil for a year or so. I find it helps SO MUCH with my under eye dryness, and I put it all over my face too in the Fall/Winter months. I didn't get one dry patch last Winter & it never breaks me out as it's non comedogenic. I think people love it due to it's stability (more stable than coconut oil). If you'd like to try it for cheap The Ordinary has a bottle for like 5 bucks. I also use it on top of my retinol treatment. It's just awesome for dry skin in the winter, and you can use it all over your body!

I love when she says, “well, hey guys.” It makes me so happy. I use the oil as an occlusive emollient prior to plane rides because the air is dry and cause intense Transepidermal water lost. I also use it at night to prevent water lost because I keep my room 66 F degrees and I use a fan. I am always hot.

I have to say, Dr Dray, I know you are well prepared for all the knowledge you share with us, so I wrote down notes for every video I watched, then liked your videos. Thanks for your effort and I have to say my acne is well under control now and I am using sunscreen everyday regardless the weather and making my family members doing the same thing!

I really like my squalane so far, it’s from the ordinary. I use one drop on the dry ends of my hair and it makes them shiny and nice. I also like it on my nose when I have a cold , so I don’t end up with my skin peeling. I use it on my skin when I apply serums that are quite drying and I’ve been loving it so far. On my skin it works fine :)

You're so pretty on your vid thumbnail 😍 thanks for always providing amazing skin care vids!

Thank you so much Dr. Dray for sharing your knowledge. It so easy to get swept away and buy into the ocean of cosmetic products that the industry is pushing on you. Because of you, I became so much wiser when it comes to products I put on my skin. I’m also saving hundreds of dollars by not investing into fads.

I started using squalene a couple of year ago and I noticed a considerable improvement around my eyes with regard to fine lines. I was applying eyeshadow one day and noticed that the fine lines around my eyes had most definitely improved. I was applying the oil on the orbital bone area. I used the brand PURE from Timeless skincare (also from amazon) and others (Sanitas, Biossance) and found the PURE one to be the best and it's only $9 or $10. I use it on my skin because it alleviates the dry feeling and I just love it. My skin says thank you every time I put it on. It's a real winner for me!

I love squalene oil as a moisturizer. I have normal/oily skin in the T-zone and dry skin everywhere else, and I find this especially great in the winter when my cheeks are literally chapped. I also like this after a peel since there isn't anything about it that would cause irritation. I've recently started using Retin-A and this helps soften the dry patches, and helps with the overall appearance of dry skin. This does NOT leave a greasy feel like mineral oil. I also do prefer "clean beauty" products so this is a great alternative for those of us who don't want to use mineral oil. I am well aware what Dr. Dray thinks of "clean" products but to each her own - I also said PREFER, because I'm not a hardcore and still sprinkle conventional products in my routine... like Retin-A. I try to do my best to look up each ingredient in the products I use so I can make the chose to use it or not which is why I love Dr. Dray's videos! Super informative.

I love using squalene oil during the winter months, it really helps my very dry skin. No breakouts. Love it !

I have extremely dry skin at times & have a hard time finding a moisturizer that adequately hydrates my skin before my makeup application. I started using no7 squalane capsules before my moisturizer & have seen a huge improvement in my face! It not only feels hydrated but after a couple weeks I've noticed my overall complexion is better! I'm so impressed.

I add a few drops of Timeless Squalane to my LaRoche Posay lotion & it really ups the moisture factor for my dry, rosacea skin. My skin loves it! Thanks again for science based info 👍🏼

I’m 48 with cystic acne and squalene is my favorite oil. It does not break me out.

Eye opening as always, thank you!

I like squalane as hydrator because I’m off of cream. Since I am under tretinoin since years, I found that squalane works good in the morning on my skin layering just after vitamin c, peptides or ceramide spf and make up. Less cream I use, the better . 66 yrs old.

I am 55 and typically assumed to be in my late 30s. I have two basic premises in my skincare routine. 1. Skincare is additive. There is no holy grail besides consistency. The various products you use all contribute. 2. Variety is good. I have replaced moisturizer with facial oils and rotate through a variety of them morning and night. Squalane is one of these. I have not noticed anything that makes it standout from my other plant based oils. It absorbs easily. It's non-greasy. So with your information on it, I will not quit using it but I will certainly consider whether to continue using it when this bottle is empty. I blend my own facial oils as well as purchase them. With so many options not replacing it will certainly be a consideration. Thank you for your always good information.

I used squalane in the dropper bottle for my body care. I added it to the moisturiser and it did make it more emollient. Apart from that I noticed no additional benefit from squalane. My extremely dry skin didn’t improve significantly. It didn’t do any harm, I went through the whole bottle. But it didn’t do anything extra. I’m not going to buy it again. As for using it for my face, I also suspect that it’s like adding more sebum to my already combination skin.

best to put squalane oil on before moisturiser apparently as the molecules are bigger. Moisturiser molecules are smaller so moisturiser goes on first then the oil, that way everything gets to your skin properly, otherwise the oil just sits on top :)

I like squalane as an addition to products I apply around my eyes. It’s also helpful for softening up under eye creasing on the days I use concealer under my eyes. One drop is more than I need for that purpose.

I Love the ordinary squalane. So hydrating and not greasy

Ordinary Squalane is the best moisturiser that has ever worked on my acne skin. with acne products my skin get really dry and flaky and no moisturiser (ceraphil , cerave , nutrogena etc) worked. puting extra laters of moisturiser broke me out more. Squalane is the only saver for me , i on my 3rd bottle and loving it, started 5 months ago.

Hi I guess I’m late to the squalane train (3 years late) as well but I’ve recently restarted my Tretinoin treatment and added squalane in as well and omg the difference has been phenomenal. Way less irritation. So I would say that it’s useful.

In what order to you put on your face ? Would it be last after moisturizer ? Thx

It's amazing. I use it nightly after retin A & it's only thing that has worked to stop irritation & peeling. Skin is beautiful, soft & glowing by morning.

Can squalane oil be used after tretinoin cream ?

I use the ordinary plant derived squalane under my eyes under my moisturizer and I think it reduces the look of my fine lines

Another great video! I’ve been using the squalane oil by Timeless and have noticed no difference in my skin hydration. I have dry over 40 skin. I won’t repurchase it.

The ordinary semi-derived squalane, and omg i looooooove it as a skincare and as a primer, even though i struggle with ance so much so i don't apply it as much as i want, but it's amazingly comfortable and faaaaaast absorbing

How do you literally always read my mind and do a video about what I'm researching?!

How do you get your skin to look so glassy? It’s gorgeous!!

Hi Dr Dray! Would you please review Innisfree’s green tea line? It’s a Korean brand and now available at Sephora. A friend of mine in China said it does a pretty good job keeping the skin moisturized. I am also very curious if it does anything on diminishing pores. Thank you!!

Thanks for the information in this video!! Honestly the lack of evidence is the only thing that makes me unsure about whether to try it. I suppose we should wait and see how things develop in the future!

I dab small amounts under my eyes prior to putting on concealer, helps my under eye are not look as crepey (lol autocorrect wanted creepy, maybe that’s a better descriptive!). I do feel like it has improved my skin! Maybe just helps my skin look better and not making any changes, but that is good enough for me!

Do you use Rosacare alone at night or do you double it up with cerave baby? I notice you list both moisturizers in the description.

I’ve been using the product from Youth To The People with squalane in it as I was healing my face from a madness breakout and it didn’t worsen mine, if anything, I’d say it improve what I see overall. But that being said, as I was using that product I also tried to approach the kind of less is more for face at the same time, which is what you always recommend. So who knows 😅

Can you do a video on mother dirt’s products / probiotic spray for skin please? Thanks! Your videos are awesome!

Please do a video solely for Sunflower oil too. 😍

I've been using biossance squalane moisturizer under my eyes (the regular one, not the undereye specific one) and it smooths my wrinkles, yet is too thick to put it on the rest of my face. Everyone's skin is different of course.

"Suffering" from both SD and rosacea, finding the right moisturizer is mission imposible. I also have extremely dry, flaky skin, so I use it as an emolient before make-up, which I do from time to time. I'd rather use this SD-friendly oil to a potentially irritating primer. It helps to smooth the flakiness and general driness. But, yes, it does not seem to have added benefits. I still need the power of a cream.

I also have a wonderful experience with squalane by the ordinary. It has effectively reduced my skin problems caused or aggravated by transepidermal water loss like acne sensitivity and dehydration. It has been really a game changer!!✌️✌️

Hi there, Dr. Dray! Have you thought about doing a review of the Physicians formula organic wear line? I thought there might be some cool affordable options there. Many of them fragrance free! I would love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you Dr. Dray. You are awesome. I was waiting for you to comment on those "jazzy claims" 😁. I have fungul acne and sqalane triggers it right away. Mineral oil doesn't though.
