The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser

€6.10
This gentle cleanser is anything but ordinary, removing make up and impurities as it retains your skin’s moisture – unlike some harsher cleansers, there’s no need to worry about tightness after using this. Star of the show is squalane, a first-class hydrator that’s found naturally in the skin, helping to prevent loss of moisture and boost suppleness. This combines with other lipophilic esters to dissolve make up and unwanted grime for clean and clog-free pores. The hard-working formula feels balm-like when first applied, changing to a clear oil-like texture when warmed into your skin.
Free from soap, which can cause irritation or ‘strip’ the skin, making it suitable for all skin types – even sensitive ones.
