I use the Ordinary Squalane Oil after I moisturizer on any irritated dry areas on my skin and I love it. It is also one of the only oils that does not break me out.
kelcie KS 👍🏼
Same! It's the only thing that has stopped me from getting dry patches in the Winter.
I use a few drops in my wet hair on the ends and it helps with shine and moisture.
i use the ordinary brand squalane oil aswell in winter, its great!
Im afraid it will give me cystic acne that happened to me before using sunflower oil huhuh coz i heared its a bit heavy oil
I love squalane! I find it makes me less oily but still keeps me hydrated, and it has never broken me out (I am breakout prone).
A capite ad calcem 💙
how do you cleanse after using squalane? is it okay to use only water based cleanser?
same. makes my skin looks like magic
100% same 😍
@@blacktosca3201 this is not rocket science. just cleanse as usual
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.
That's great to hear! I have dry sensitive skin. Can physical sunscreen be applied on top of the squalane-moisturizer combo?
@@umchileanywaysso late reply,but yeah you can. I do it
@@rosygirl28 thank you
What moisturizer do you use?
@@umchileanywaysso - I wouldn't do that... Sunscreen ideally needs clean dry skin to set up properly. Anything under it should get in the way as little as possible. Relatively occlusive slippery oils in that amount would make it very difficult for that to work properly
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 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 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!
Can i apply directly on skin??
@@ankitadalal1678 yes
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 use The ordinary squalane, it helps my dry rosacea skin
Mariana S 👍🏼
Hello hi . can i know do u still use it since i also hv dry rosacea skin . how do u apply it n what moisturiser u use ?
@@shahizz3140 hi! I still use it. I apply rose water, then the oil and if I need an extra I use clinique moisture surge.
It’s sets my rosacea off big time
Squalane oil has helped with my fungal acne. Its the only oil i can use that won't worsen my condition and its a great moisturizer! Ever since i started using it i haven't had as much fungal acne. Im am currently on my second bottle of it from The Ordinary
Sara Tran 👍🏼
Sara Tran Same!!
did you replace the moisturizer with this oil?
i also have fungal acne
Did u buy the hemi squalane or the 100 percent squalane?
@@LoveConquersAll888 plant derived squalane
I bought biossance right before you posted this. I looked for your review first. Since using their line my skin looks AMAZING!! I’ve never felt so hydrated.
I adore biossance also !
I've been using The Ordinary Retinoid Squalane and my skin looks and feel supple. To me the test is how my skin looks if I dont use it everyday. It works. I really like it. And actually I haven't had a single break out.
Leylani Cotts 👍🏼
Which strength?
@@63rambler66 Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane. Bought it as a test. Only downfall which is a bummer, is not good for my Melasma. I've seen it kind of get dark, not too much, but still. But my skin looks great when it comes to texture.
Thanks for the response. I hope you are using super duper Spf! Hopefully the melasma will be replaced with lighter cells in time...(?)
I use it too and I'm happy. I have dry and sensitive skin. Not acne prone.
I wish you would come up with your own skincare line!
Agus Diosa I’d buy it.
Agus Diosa yes!
Yes, please do.
YEESSSSSS!!!!
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.
Wow Dr Dray looking radiant! Love the headband too. I have recently discovered your channel and I've been bingeing! I love playing your vlogs while I study 😊
rhythmandblues alibi
She looks adorable here! 😊
So great to have a rational, scientific, no bs, place to go for information. Thanks Dr Dray!!!
I use squalane in my hair and it’s amazing for that and something that I can use in my hair that won’t cause my face to breakout. I have a lot of trouble with hair products causing skin issues for me, and this is perfect! I grab the ordinary version for $5 a bottle.
I have oily skin that is very acne-prone and I have found that squalane causes significant acne flair ups. It is on my banned ingredient list along with coconut oil and fragrance.
Me too
Squalane is a good product for healing a damaged skin barrier and trying to simplify your skincare. It lets your skin take a break yet provides emollient and slight occlusive properties ❤
I love using squalene oil during the winter months, it really helps my very dry skin. No breakouts. Love it !
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 :)
I’m 48 with cystic acne and squalene is my favorite oil. It does not break me out.
I use squalane from a dropper. I put it directly on my face especially the dryer areas. I use it twice a day including under makeup. I love it. I put it under my moisturizer letting it absorb for a minute before applying the moisturizer. It has completely eliminated (most days) the dry patches that almost every foundation exposed.
I do this with the Timeless dropper. Simply a cheap emollient primer. I get flaky from tretinoin and it helps to keep my foundation from drying out.
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 :)
@@thisyellowflower7131 I think you contradicted yourself there. Could you explain the order again?
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.
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.
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. Obviously i have more mature skin & so its drier & the Retin A makes it even drier. Highly recommended for my type of skin. For younger, oily or acne prone skin it would be too much I think. I love it !
@anon007 I get my squalane from The Ordinary & it's not expensive. Hope you find it helpful. Best wishes x
Mandy W 💙
Super thanks 4 the recommendation.
@@dogsenseforu301 my pleasure
Can squalane oil be used after tretinoin cream ?
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.
Dr Dray, you should make an app with your advice on skincare products... I would deffinitely pay for that :)
Great video as always, Dr. Dray! Interesting that there aren't that many studies for it. One video that I would like is what to do as far as post-procedure skin care. After laser treatments (depending on which one), microneedling, etc.
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!
Now I only buy products that dr dray recommends and when I go to the store, before I buy a skincare product, I open my phone and see what dr dray has said about it. 🤣
Me today in the middle of ulta watching Hyram and doctor Dray
MEEEE
Same here
How can someone's skin can be so perfect?! 😍
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.
These in depth oil videos are my favorite!!!
Thanks so much 💜🖤💜
Jojoba oil is my go to - so versatile! My toddlers eczema and my acne prone skin love it. Use it on our hair too!!!
Andrea Ha thanks for watching
Could you talk about CBD skincare? I know there are not many studies on this, wonder what your take on this is. Love your videos!
Yes, please!
She already has a video on it
Admin User thank you!
I would love to hear about this!
MsLindaY I did
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 👍🏼
my skin loves squalane and it makes a huge difference with my dry patches during the winter.
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.
Studies in skincare are sponsored by cosmetics companies. But those are not interested in paying for studies about squalane because it's a very cheap ingredient that cannot give them a lot of profit. But it does work for me and for many others, much better than other well researched and much more expensive ingredients pushed by dermatologists like niacinamide or ceramides...
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.
I've started using squalane at night- I cleanse, spray on some rose water and top it off with squalane. I think it's been doing wonders for my skin so far. Sad that there's not enough studies backing it. I will say it's working for me though. My skin seems more supple and hydrated. I have oily-combination skin btw.
Is it still showing good effects?
@@dottedlines yes! I use it after my moisturiser:)
Have you had any bad reactions when you first started using it? I have been using it for 2 weeks now and I think my skin is purging or breaking out from it, I have little whiteheads were I usually get pimples, even tho my skin was clear when I started using squalane
I have rosacea and eczema prone skin and am sensitive to many products. I struggle to keep my skin hydrated and avoid almost all oils but Squalane has been really helpful especially in the winter when cerave just doesn’t do the trick!
I mix with my cerve too and it's been great, especially with the cold winds from where I am from
Which brand U r using ??
@@truthspeaker6107 I’m currently using biossance but I’ve used the ordinary one as well and liked it.
I use a squalane oil moisturizer from Biossance at night and it helps me with redness and just overall dryness and doesn’t clog my pores or break me out. So in my book it’s an A+ moisturizer because I like the way it makes my skin feel and look. I have not tried The Ordinary.
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!
I love squalene. I have sensitive skin and ive tried everything gentle to repair and retain a healthy moisture barrier. I had seen squalene before but never paid it much attention until i found a skin care line specializing in rosacea sufferers. I have rosy, redness prone sensitive skin and squalene was in one of their products. Instead of paying the ridiculous high price for the oil they sold, i tried the ordinary squalene, and it was a GAME CHANGER for my dry sensitive skin. It glows now. ❤️ and its actually comfortable 😭 ❤️❤️❤️
Your cheeks are looking more full in the best way and you look so lively. You have a wonderful rosy tint and look amazing. You look like you aged backwards.
I use the ordinary plant derived squalane under my eyes under my moisturizer and I think it reduces the look of my fine lines
Sea buckthorn oil next??
Please..
Hey Doc.! I am coming to this squalane party very, very late, but I just want to add my two cents as well. Squalane oil has been a real game changer for me! I've started using it a year or so ago and I am loving the results I'm getting. It has improved my dry skin, it has helped decrease fine lines and I just love the way it makes my thirsty skin feel soft, smooth and comfortable. Also, it doesn't clog pores at all! I am a 50 year old male with mixed, chronically dehydrated, sensitive skin.
Thank you for all your fun and Informative posts!
Now I’m late to the party 😂 how exactly do you use it please?
I use it as the last step in my evening routine, over serum and moisturizer. I use The Ordinary, but there's loads of other brands that offer squalane oils/creams.
Good luck!
@@klaas020that is what I shall do. Thank you. I have the ordinary as well
I feel like it’s the only
Oil I have used that has
Not broken me out with
Clogged pores or Pimples
But also doesn’t seem that
Moisturising. So definitely
Pros and Cons. I apply it
After shaving my face or washing
In the shower to stop skin drying
Out.

I thought this was a poem for a second due to the format 😅😅
Its one of the only moisturizers that doesnt irritate my psoriasis...dermatitis and eczema and actually heals it and makes it better and ive tried everything!!!!!!!Honestly feel like i cant live without squalene...and my bf too uses it and it makes his skin have such a healthy radiany glow. We have the 8 dollar good molecules kind and it doesnt clog our pores either..its a grail for us!
@jenny2282 I came here to say this, and then realized this video is 4 years old. 😅 I also use the Good Molecules squalane oil, and it's seriously so good! I've suffered from acne and psoriasis forever, and once I incorporated squalane into my routine, I stopped breaking out, and my skin is so smooth! My under eye wrinkles look way better, too! An $8 bottle has lasted me almost 3 months and it's still half full! I would love an updated video from her about it because I never want to live without this product again!
The natural glow your skin has is absolutely mesmerizing 😍 Can we get an updated AM/PM skincare routine?! Love you and your channel, Dr. Dray!!
Ashlyn Lundholm: This is still Dr Dray’s current/valid skin care routine. Not sure if you’ve watched it yet but there’s some great info in it.
“DERMATOLOGIST’S SKIN CARE ROUTINE FOR DAY & NIGHT| DR DRAY” ruclips.net/video/2bG39UXDo8s/видео.html
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.
Everyone hyped up squalene so much that it would help balance oils or whatever because it is similar to your skin's natural oils but any lotion or makeup product that contains squalene has always broken me out like horribly inflamed beneath the skin breakouts.
As someone coming from a medical science background, I love that you mention the research behind compounds!
Your skin looks so bright and beautiful! What did you do differently??
lighting
Sunscreen and hydration is the secret to anti aging and bright skin !
I absolutely love the Hemi-squalane, bit lighter than the original. I use a drop or two in my moisturizer and love the way it absorbs into my skin.
I put it on my hands for eczema and it reduces the inflammation as well as redness in my face. I use the Ordinary Squalane oil- just a few drops only.
I think squalane is alright since it is naturally present on our skin, therefore our skin should be more susceptible to receive it and not clog pores as petrolatum does to some people. Squalane oxidation may cause acne but it should be combatted with the use of sunscreen. Perhaps squalane is a good emollient to add to moisturisers .
It. Was an immediate difference with the smoothness of fine lines. Literally immediate. Doing anything long term…🤷🏼♀️…but wow…the immediate results are undeniable
Hi which brand have you used ?
Very interesting! I've found that Squalane does make my face feel very soft if I use it in small amounts (1-2 drops). I'm going to try to drop it to see if I notice a change in my acne!
"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'm the type of person who hated having greasy things on my face (it took me like 5 years to get used to moisturizer) but I love squalene oil. I do have acne so I only put it on if my skin is super dry and flaky that day. It makes my face baby soft when I wake up in the morning.
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!!✌️✌️
I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. I constantly talk about Dr Dray on my own channel. ❤️
itsbrittglow 💙
Dr Dray all love 💕
I’m really liking your hairstyle here! You’re glowing!
so much hype about squalane / squalene but it's never done much for my skin. thank you for your honest review.
I found that if I use a moisturizer with Squalene as opposed to one without it, my skin gets less irritated when using Differin, but that is just a personal observation and could of course be down to other ingredients.
Doctor Anne 👍🏼
Doctor Anne I am using a product called BYBI 1% Bakuchiol Booster: the only 2 ingredients are bakuchiol and squalene. I have been using it for about a month to test it as a viable substitute for tretinoin (I discussed my reservations with you about using tretinoin on your RUclips channel with you a couple of weeks ago). I am really enjoying this product! It is lovely and soooo moisturizing!
You mean to tell me that squalane is just a version of mineral oil and petrolatum! And here I am taking notes on the picks of my favorite influencers. So I come to Dr. Dray to get her pick and she’s the only one that’s telling it like it is. I mean she didn’t knock it down, but it’s not doing anymore than what mineral oil or petrolatum would do for my skin. Thank you Dr. Dray. You’re the real MVP!
Yep! When my liver was failing my kidneys did too and the itch was horrible!!!!! Absolutely horrible!! I'm a year post transplant btw so no longer dealing with that nor do I ever want to again!!!! I have the one from the Ordinary and no I've seen no difference. Thanks for the review. I was curious to know your thoughts.
Billy Lambert glad to hear you know longer have to cope with that
I use Dr.Brenner squalane. It’s $15. And I’ve used at least ten bottles of it. I love it. Wish it came in large bottles.
I used Mayumi squalane oil years ago. It was the only product that I have ever used that made my skin look absolutely flawless. However, over time I started to have an allergic reaction to it and had to give it up. For some reason I have developed an allergy to several products that I used in the past with no problems.
Have you heard of fungal acne
For me, squalane has helped a lot because I have seborrheic dermatitis and so many moisturizers cause flare ups, but this doesn't. I don't think it is doing anything magical other than keeping me moisturized but I'm glad to have something that isn't causing flaking on my eyebrows. I will say if I use too much at one time I get more breakouts.
I Love the ordinary squalane. So hydrating and not greasy
Very helpful in that so much of what we see on social media platforms are from “beauty influencers” who speak to the benefits of such products. I appreciate the honesty and truth you provide so that we can make informed decisions before any purchases of unnecessary products
Please do a video solely for Sunflower oil too. 😍
I really really love how your skin looks in this video!!
thanks
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
I use cheap 100% squalane from amazon (around $12 for 2 oz). It has made a considerable difference in my skin texture (increased softness) and seems to work synergistically with my hadalabo collagen serum. My current routine is the hadalabo premium collagen, followed by squalane, followed by cerave moisturizer with ceramides on top (I source this cerave cheaply from Costco in bulk). This is the cheapest and by far most effective routine I’ve ever devised, and I’m quite pleased. It’s not a miracle but squalane has made more of a difference in my skin than many much more expensive skin products - however I am not prone to acne so that certainly might change another’s experience. Thanks for the video Dr. Dray!
Thanx for the info- good to know:) I've been using the "less is more" approach with my skincare & my skin has never been better, thanks to you❤
You're so pretty on your vid thumbnail 😍 thanks for always providing amazing skin care vids!
I did just start using the ordinary’s squalene solution in a dropper to put on my skin after my tretinoin .08% at night. It feels really good after applying the tretinoin! It’s especially nice for sensitive areas like the corners of my eyes when my skin is still adjusting to the .08% tretinoin from the .06%.
plz my lovely dermatologist 😍😭 talk about tamano oil .. is it really good for acne marks and even scars and pigmenatations??? can u make a vid about this oil??? love u😍
Love your videos. So thorough and honest. Thanks.
I use squalane, it makes my tight skin feel more comfortable, not sure if it has any other benefits but it's useful for that anyway. Happy weekend 😀
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 all your teaching/ explanations! And btw, Your ski looks amazing!!!
thanks
I use The Ordinary Squalane Oil when my skin is drier or just has some dry spots. I mix a drop or 2 into my Cera Ve PM Moisturizer (which I use for daytime, due to the AM version pilling when I put anything on over it). The squalane oil mixed with my moisturizer really improves the drier areas of my skin better than moisturizer alone. It also does not break me out. I love it!
DJAshe13 👍🏼
Been wanting this topic thanks Dr Dray.
Emy thanks for watching
How do you literally always read my mind and do a video about what I'm researching?!
Watching your videos is so therapeutic. I feel right at home
thanks for watching
I have combination skin and use the Timeless Squalane after my night cream as my last step in my skincare routine. I love how soft and supple my skin feels in the morning and when I don’t use it, I miss it so.
I used The Ordinary Squalane and my skin went CRAZY, I got an acne crisis (at my 28 years old) and I NEVER had acne problems before. My dermatologist was convinced that I had to start using Accutane. I was a little scared, so I tried to go on a different direction, instead she recommended Differin, Doxiciclin (3 months), Benzoyl Peroxide and monthly visits to her office. After 8 months of treatment I am much better now (currently using Tretinoin), but would definitely NOT recommend.
Those were your hormones not the sqalane
I use squalane from ordinary and really enjoy it. Also my skin is acne prone and nothing. It’s very very personal:)
OMGoodness! I'm shocked. My dad suffered for many many years with unknown cause itching. He saw countless doctors and specialists and nobody knew why he itched and no matter what he tried nothing worked. He also had CKD. It's sad that I've now found the answer for it and he's no longer here to know what it is was.
@Gul Gul I've not a clue, it's ridiculous really, esp when you consider this, when I watched this vid and found out I immediately messaged a friend, who said, yeah I knew that.
If his calcium levels drop and phosphorus levels rise they bind and form calcium crystals on the skin which cause pruritis (itchin) dialysis techs :)
@@scentualempressWow thank you for that!
Having diabetes can cause itching too. Just treat the disease and it can ease the itching, or just take some itching medicine like cetirizine or any other antihistamines
Gul Gul Itching is too common to be a key for diagnosing someone
That thumbnail exudes Audrey Hepburn vibes 🙏🙌
one year ago i started taking pills to treat my acne, i finish it and my skin got super dry, i started using squalane with retinol from the ordinary, i use it after the moisturizing and i love that my face is recovering the glow.
Your skin looks really nice & glowing!
Excited to try my new, affordable skincare routine today! All thanks to you! 🤗
I purchased some products from Biossance and really love them. However, with the purchase of the products I have had a consistent skin care routine which I was previously lazy about. I also added in tretinoin twice a week. Im a new mom so I hardly wear makeup anymore. My skin is hydrated and glowing and I haven't had any breakouts for four weeks. Obviously I can't say for sure the squalene in bioassance was the answer for me but it didn't hurt.
Glad you done a video on this. I do use it. Seams to help with my dry skin. I think. I do use moisturizers and I do at a little bit of this on top and it seems to help but I don't know I've been doing it for probably six months but as far as difference for wrinkles or anything like that I haven't noticed any difference at all.

My favorite oil tbh it's so simple and effective
Informative video as always, Dr. Dray! I'm shocked that there's actually not much research behind squalane. I really love moisturizers that contain squalane oil such as Avène Skin Recovery Cream and Soon Jung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream.
For the next oil review, can you do one for sea buckthorn oil? Thank you!

I’d like one for sea buckthorn as well. It’s an ingredient I’ve been interested in a while , but haven’t used yet!
I’m also surprised at the lack of research on squalene...really disingenuous for skin care companies to tout an ingredient that has little scientific support
Me too. It seems to appear every where in the ordinary brand x
Yes, please.
