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.

[@umchileanywaysso]

That's great to hear! I have dry sensitive skin. Can physical sunscreen be applied on top of the squalane-moisturizer combo?

[@umchileanywaysso]

@@rosygirl28 thank you

[@Lala-sy2fg]

What moisturizer do you use?

[@Siberius-]

​@@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

[@HayGurlHay]

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!

[@IdeaMusicKen]

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.

[@marysal54]

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!

[@genesis650]

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 ❤

[@faeriethompson3733]

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.

[@paigemccoy8526]

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.

[@RedJPanda]

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.

[@thisyellowflower7131]

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 :)

[@Hari-bz1mh]

@@thisyellowflower7131 I think you contradicted yourself there. Could you explain the order again?

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.

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 :)

[@Amanda-jx4ew]

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 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.

[@ashleymarie6682]

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 😭 ❤️❤️❤️

[@rachidb7227]

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...

[@ilahens]

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!

[@BeshenayaVishnya]

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.

[@damestamp]

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.

[@LacrimosaNunu]

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.

Dr. Dray, do you recommend mixing Squalane with tretinoin to make it less irritating? Many thanks❤

[@luciagarcia5272]

"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.

[@alisonwilloughby4060]

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 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!

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.

[@franameri6590]

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 KZbin channel with you a couple of weeks ago). I am really enjoying this product! It is lovely and soooo moisturizing!

[@daphnechagoya9837]

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.

[@baddestdonut8658]

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 .

First comment ❤️ Love You So Much Dr Dray You Saved My Skin

[@fayef6590]

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.

[@lalalalove8153]

Have you heard of fungal acne

[@Rose-cq8gg]

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

[@gunlovingurls9200]

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.

[@rebecca3745]

I use squalane as a quick dry skin moisturizer by just pressing the oil into my skin during the day. Right now, I'm going thru infancy tretinoin, so during the day, if my face feels tight, I press a fingertip-ful in without rubbing off the mineral sunscreen already applied to relieve tightness. Not sticky, not shiny, and it seems to be absorbed. I purchase Timeless brand. Probably won't purchase again, since Dr. Dray has recommended so many other products i have tried and loved.

[@shanesaxon6863]

I have bought tons of moisturizers that still leave me dry and flaky……when I add the ordinary squalene at the end…..no more flakes, and I can still use my moisturizer instead of it being tossed in the trash

[@plasmichoneytrip]

I have so many products for my eczema as I have a constant, irritated very dry patch of skin in my forehead that doesn't go away despite all recommended products used. I am currently using Biossance Squalane oil and it works so far. It doesn't feel greasy and doesn't sit on the skin. First time I really liked a moisturizing product with a great texture. Biossance is more expensive than say, Inkey but given the 100ml bottle, it works out to be the same cost as the smaller sized Inkey. I'm quite surprised i don't break out as well as i am acne-prone especially in the chin area with my PCOS problem.

[@franameri6590]

Happy Friday Dr. Dray! I started using a product called BYBI 1%Bakuchiol Booster in a squalene solution about a month ago. So, it only has those two ingredients. I put it on right after I wash my face at night and then apply my CeraVe moisturizing night cream. My skin LOVES it (mature, dry 56 years old)!!!! It is super moisturizing!!!! I am testing out Bakuchiol!!!! Have a wonderful day, dear Dr. Dray xo!

[@wap9137]

Fran Ameri I am very curious about this. I am looking for a bakuchiol product without a lot of unnecessary products added. Hope we hear from Dr. Dray on this.

[@franameri6590]

@@wap9137 I hope so, too :)

[@katesterinzat2792]

I use Biossance moisturizers and their vitamin c oil. They have squalane as an ingredient. I have been using these products for a year now. They don't clog my pores, wich is something I usually very conscious about when trying any moisturizers. I also use squalane oil as a "carrier" oil for my AHA/BHA from Drunk elephant (for some reason I see better results without unnecessary irritation). I don't think squalane oil is a holy grail oil. However, this is an oil that seems to work great for my skin without clogging my pores or leaving a grease film on my face. I like it better than hemp seed oil and rosehip oil. I don't really mess around with other oils (aside from an oil based cleanser to take off my sunscreen and makeup) because I don't want to deal with clogged pores. But I guess the effectiveness of squalane may depend on the skin type. My skin is combo skin that can get drier in winter and slightly oilier (not too much though) during hot humid summers. I don't think my skin is very sensitive, but I am very careful when introducing any new products though, especially in winter when I have to be extra gentle on my skin to make sure i won't get any sebopsoriasis on my face.

[@helpfulnatural]

Thanks for explaining the difference between squaline and squalane. So many beauty gurus tout it as an absolute necessity in skincare but don't explain specifically why. I'm guessing because they probably don't know and are just parroting the info from the product's package or website. :) Happy Friday Dr. Dray!

[@carolsmedeiros]

Biossance is a line with squalane. I bought a cleaneser oil (sorry about my english) and it’s fine when I want remove makeup before wash. Thank you Dr Dray for thi great video.

Biossance products for me have been a game changer for my eczema and dry skin! I have tried expensive and not expensive products and they are the only ones that work my skin. I have combination/acne prone skin.

[@111JenA]

Me too. I use the Rose Oil with Vitamin C and Squalane

[@renataboyle3489]

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.

[@nicolejacob718]

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

[@chloeandchester]

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.

[@NatalieG427]

I like using using Pipette Baby Balm at night as a last step,especially in Winter. It has Squalane in it.

[@julianneaitch]

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.

[@julianneaitch]

@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.

[@scentualempress]

If his calcium levels drop and phosphorus levels rise they bind and form calcium crystals on the skin which cause pruritis (itchin) dialysis techs :)

[@julianneaitch]

@@scentualempressWow thank you for that!

[@greykitten7569]

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

[@greykitten7569]

Gul Gul Itching is too common to be a key for diagnosing someone

[@marizzy63]

Happy Friday Dr Dray and everyone . This was wonderful . I can not thank you enough . I am 56 with acne prone skin and . I had tried coconut , jojoba and squalene oil with terrible results . My skin is not happy when I used these and actually got a terrible clogged gland in my eye from using these to remove eye makeup. It is very sad that so many of these companies prey on those of us with acne or other skin conditions and make all the claims they do . I felt foolish because I would think why hasn't my skin cleared up while listening to all these unbelievable claims and seeing the models . Thanks to you I am on a simpler routine and my skin is slowly started to clear THANK YOU !!!!!!!
