Awesome product!!

I live in Calgary which is incredibly dry and has very unpredictable weather from chinooks, and after seeing a review from someone else in the area as well as owning other products from the company I caved and bought it. My skin is super dry and sensitive, and I was worried that I'd react to it, but I've been using it for weeks now and my skin has never looked better.

Amazing hydration

I have always struggled with dryness, to the point where if I don’t moisturise 2 mins after washing my face it’s uncomfortable. But this is such a hydrating product. And all the better for not using shark squalene.

My skin loves and craves this serum

I use this every day, even if it is the only thing i put on my face. It works wonders in Chicago winters, yet still light enough for my skin in the summer heat. Really good at keeping face hydrated and protected when I have to wear a mask for long periods. Also very gentle on my skin, and does not clog my pores.

Great product !

I am struggling with large pores and oily skin and I can't even imagine to put something on my (oily) skin at all, but this little thing saved my life. I put it usually at the evening before I'm going to sleep (after I clean my skin) and it does show results. I put 3 drops and it is enough. I've just finished previous bottle, will buy new.

Does what it says !

Picked this up in Ulta last year and have been using it routinely in my morning routine. Always had a problem with my skin being dry and itchy and the squalene helps with that. Light enough to layer with other products and the price is good. Gives the skin a nice glow

This product is amazing I will no longer spend money on expensive primers! My skin has never been so smooth and so soft, I apply a small amount before applying my make up and the foundation goes on so silky smooth!

Love this product!

I've used this product, in conjunction with several other Ordinary products, as part of my skincare regime and can't live without it. I did notice however that with the most recent bottle I purchased it seems to be be slightly more oily (i.e. less watery) that it's been in the past. Deciem, did you reformulate the product a little? It still works fabulously and I'm not complaining at all - just wondering if you've tweaked it. Thanks.

Not for oily/combination/acne skin I guess...

I have had acne and acne scars since I was a teenager. Today I am 34 yo and been a loyal customer since 2018. I am one of these people that friends and even acquaintances from the past get surprised of how much my skin has changed to the best condition it has ever been! I really owe this to TO series product that I swear by. I had bad luck with the Squalane oil though.... Even though I purchased it twice, I never got used to the oily texture it leaves on my skin and neck that makes me want to wipe it off with a towel since it never sinks in my skin... I am not sure, but after a few days from the moment I put it on my face, it started purging especially on the jaw line and cheeks with red big pimples... I noticed that only this product causes this effect, since I have been using all the other products for a long time without having any issue. That's a huge pity since I kept these two bottles in my fridge forever and thinking if I could ever use them on my heels or anywhere else, since they did not work at all for my face scars...

Shockingly effective!

I have extremely dry skin naturally (F36), and I have to drop on and off Acutane due to steroid induced acne…and I live in YYC which is dryer than a desert. I ordered this product because my expensive and usually effective skin care regime was no longer cutting it. My driest area was always my nose. It would crack and flake and just generally look terrible. No possibility of wearing makeup etc. Anyhow, I did a lot of research and landed on this product. I am shocked. Shocked at how well it works. My skin is so incredibly soft and smooth and supple. Dryness is gone. It works so well that I have skipped my moisturizer several times and my skin still feels this good. Because I have hyper reactive skin, I’m alway concerned about my rosacea flaring, or breaking out so badly it takes months to clear, or burning even. When I put this on my face stays it’s normal colour instead of turning bright red which is a great sign. Also it’s been weeks and no breakouts to speak of. In terms of the product itself, I use 5 drops after my lotion (kind of toner), then apply moisturizer. It takes some time to absorb, so for people who don’t have time it may be better to use this at night. I don’t mind though because it makes my skin so dewy. I was concerned that it would affect the way my tinted sunscreen or foundation sits if I applied it to my face before the product absorbed, but actually that hasn’t been an issue. There was no piling or melting or weird settling etc. It actually made my makeup products look better and hold longer even when I applied my products only 10 minutes after the squalane. I’ve already given a bottle to my mum, and will be gifting this to anyone from out of town staying with me to beat the “YYC Peel.” World’s longest review because this product deserves it.

Amazing for hair!

I've been using this as a hair oil, and I have to say it has helped with my hair health tremendously. It gives off a lovely and subtle shine. My hair used to be VERY dry before using this, but after just a quick few uses I have seen it spring back to life. I have gone through at least 5 bottles of this already, adding a few drops after every shower right before I comb through my hair. Can't recommend this enough
