The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser

The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser is an innovative, non-drying facial wash designed for all skin types, including highly sensitive, dry, or acne-prone skin. Many standard facial washes use harsh, alkaline foaming agents that strip away the skin's lipid barrier, leaving your face feeling tight, dry, and irritated. 

This formulation works through lipid-matching chemistry. It starts as a thick, conditioning cream-balm. When warmed between your palms, it undergoes a crucial structural shift into a clear, slippery oil-like phase. This allows it to break down stubborn, oil-soluble grime, sebum, heavy foundations, and waterproof sunscreens without disrupting your skin’s natural defense layers.
