I absolutely love this product! I distribute the oil all over my face and go ahead with my day. It leaves my face looking moisturised and vibrant. Really do recommend it as it is quite cheap in price too.

Very good at moisturising and making your skin feel super soft, I like to apply it before bed at the end of my skin routine and in the morning I wake up feeling fresh and glowy:)

If you’re a little bit apprehensive about adding a facial oil to your routine, this is a great place to start!
It’s not too heavy, it’s got a really light-weight consistency and overall just a lovely product.
I use this several times a week after cleansing and before moisturising if I feel that my skin feels a little too greasy for a thicker oil..
However where I’ve really noticed the difference is my hair! I apply this when my hair’s damp and it gives a healthy feel, again without making it greasy!
Would highly recommend !

I absolutely love this!!! Still not entirely sure what hemi-squalane actually is or what this product is actually supposed to do BUT OMG do I love it?! My skin is so, so dry no matter what I do. It’s very sensitive and eczema prone and in the winter, applying any kind of make up becomes incredibly difficult with my skin literally flaking off. Not anymore! I add a drop of this to my foundation every morning, sometimes 2 if I’m going more full coverage, and it like waters down the foundation to a much more liquid consistency and it goes on like a dream! (With just as much coverage as before) It slides on my face wonderful and blends our so easy and my dry skin is nowhere near as noticeable as normal. I would 100% recommend this anyone who has dry skin as this product has completely changed how I feel about foundation and omg I’m running out already and can’t wait to order another. Would so, so, so recommend!!

My battle with finding a hydrating night moisturisers that isn’t going to flare up my acne or make my skin feel greasy even when I wake up the next day is finally over I think. I don’t apply this every night maybe 2 3 times a week as that’s all my skin needs as I can see and feel the difference for a few days. I use one tiny drop on my face then one on my neck then massage it in slowly. It sinks in nicely and leaves skin soft hydrated but not greasy. I love how this helps sooth dry patches and seems to calm any red angry areas too. This bottle is a bargain and will last me ages. I love the Squalane cleanser to remove my makeup as a first step. Next time I run out I’ll be buying both again👍👍👍

I love this! I love the fact that it has dual use for your face and hair, you only need the smallest amount so even though it comes in a 30ml bottle you know it's going to last ages and it's an absolute bargain for the price! this just gives a punch of moisture to my skin, it feels so soft and hydrated, a much-needed addition to my skin regime. It's also worked great on my hair, after washing I simple just run a through drops through, since starting this a few weeks ago my hair just seems to look a lot healthier. I would highly recommend and happily repurchase.

I’ve only been using this for two days but I am so impressed already, only used a few drops each time before my moisturiser and wow does my skin feel soft! I’ve always been sceptical about introducing an oil into my skin routine due to my combo-breakout prone complexion but my skin is feeling so much better for it! I also love that it’s non-comedegenic meaning no blocked pores and 🤞 no breakouts! I will 100% be purchasing this again, it’s an absolute bargain and a great ‘beginners’ facial oil!

I was at first apprehensive about buying this prouduct due to not knowing what "Squalane" or how effective it would be for my dry and sensitive skin- However this has been amazing!! I use it after cleanser and a water based moisturiser. My skin is glowy and super soft. The oil is non-comedegenic meaning it won't block pores for those worried about this oil causing breakouts. I will definetly buy this again
