As I tend to have dry skin I usually add a few drops of oil to my normal moisturiser. This one is very good - light and easily absorbed.

I occasionally use this on my face - right after the shower but you do need another moisturizer on top. I've never had any problem with it but again I don't put it on my face very often. The real...

I used the product now for about one month, and it helps with dry skin! The acids can be a bit drying to your skin, but when you use the Plant-Derived Squalane with the moisturizer in top, it works...

What is the ordinary plant
100% Plant-Derived Squalane hydrates your skin while supporting its natural moisture barrier. Squalane is an exceptional hydrator found naturally in the skin, and this formula uses 100% plant-derived squalane derived from sugar cane for a non-comedogenic solution that enhances surface-level hydration.
Should I use plant
“Because it is such a light oil, you won't get the same heaviness other oils have, and it can be used both morning and night. Squalane can also be a great base for a variety of skincare products because it is so light and absorbent and will still have some great applications when combined with other actives.
Is squalane better than hyaluronic acid?
Squalane is often compared to hyaluronic acid, as it is biomimetic and is also very beneficial in promoting skin hydration. Squalane has many benefits that hyaluronic acid does not, such as its antioxidant properties, its protective role or, quite simply, its sensoriality.
Do you use plant
To get its perks, apply squalane daily, in both your morning and nighttime routines after water-based products and before moisturizer and sunscreen.
