The Ordinary Squalane Moisturizing Cleanser is a gentle facial cleanser with a balm-like formula that transforms when rubbed between the hands into a soft oil-like texture. It is designed to give the skin effective cleansing that combines makeup removal, dissolving dirt and impurities, cleansing the skin without stripping it, and supporting its natural hydration in one step. Its formula is based on an effective blend of plant-derived squalane, sucrose stearate, ethyl macadamiate, and sucrose laurate to support skin that needs gentle cleansing, daily makeup removal, reduced dryness after cleansing, or maintenance of the moisture barrier.

The cleanser works to dissolve makeup, sunscreen residue, and daily dirt gently, leaving the skin soft, comfortable, and not tight after washing. Squalane also helps moisturize and soften the skin, while lipophilic esters help break down impurities and makeup without a harsh or drying feel.

Usage Tips from Beauty Time:

• For the best result, the Beauty Time team recommends using it on completely dry skin to help dissolve makeup and sunscreen before rinsing.
• If you use makeup or sunscreen daily, it can be used as the first step in double cleansing, then followed with a gentle water-based cleanser.
• For skin that feels tight after cleansing, this cleanser helps give a more comfortable and soft feeling after cleansing.
• To remove makeup around the face, massage gently without harsh rubbing, and avoid getting the product inside the eyes.
• It is preferable to warm the product well between the hands until it turns into an oil-like texture, as this step helps improve the dissolving of makeup and impurities.
• For oily or combination skin, make sure to rinse well with warm water, then use a lightweight cleanser if you prefer a fresher feeling.
• For dry skin, it can be used alone as a gentle cleanser in the morning or used in the evening to remove dirt and makeup.
• After cleansing, use a toner or hydrating serum, then a suitable cream to help lock in hydration and support skin comfort.
• It is preferable to avoid very hot water while rinsing, as it may increase dryness or tightness in some skin types.
• To maintain skin that looks more clean, soft, and balanced, use it regularly within a gentle cleansing routine suitable for your skin type.
