Review: Even better than expected - I purchased this product after years of not doing my own research regarding skincare and relying on the (wrong) advice of others + the misleading marketing of well-known brands. I decided to completely ditch makeup about a year ago (ain't anybody got time for that, and also I love the aesthetics of a bare, makeup-less face - I love it on guys, and I love it on women too). Since then, I've decided to actually heal and nourish my skin the way I would with any other part of my body, rather than cover it up. I've read a lot about the actual scientific evidence behind various ingredients in skincare, but I didn't want to invest too much at first and ended up with a bunch of moisturizers and other products that I had to throw out because they irritated my skin. With this squalane oil, it's definitely worth it to invest a bit more. My skin is sensitive in the sense that it breaks out in a stingy and itchy rash from major drugstore brands, and I get pink splotches on my face if the formulation is not gentle enough. I also hate strong scents. If I don't use anything on my face, it gets terribly dehydrated, which it then overcompensates for by being ultra oily (not in the traditional t-zone, but in its own weirdly chosen areas). I also regularly battle with seborrheic dermatitis, which I get in the nasal folds & on my eyebrows. With all this in mind, I have to use an oil that doesn't feed malassezia (which is responsible for seborrheic dermatitis), and that is gentle enough not to irritate my skin. This oil is exactly that. After the first use, I'm not kidding, I could see that my skin was a lot less dehydrated. There's been no irritation so far, no pink splotches on my face, nothing. It has a very soft, neutral smell that I can't even feel at all when I apply it on my face. It sinks in pretty fast, but I still mostly use it in the evening, after cleansing and exfoliating, and before using a night cream (with ceramides & hyaluronic acid). Even where it hasn't sunk in though, it doesn't give my face a shiny, oily sheen, but rather makes it just a tiny bit radiant & glowy, in a good way. For someone who has never used any facial oils before, this is a very, very pleasant surprise. My skin seems a lot smoother and less irritated than it was before, and that's in the span of less than a week of using this oil (which is a very short time & I wasn't expecting to see any results this fast, so I was very skeptical at first). Upon further consideration, it's also not expensive AT ALL. The amount you use per day is a much more accurate measure of how expensive the product really is, rather than the volume. Per volume, sure, it's more expensive than MCT oil or Mineral Oil. BUT I use literally only 2-3 drops of this to cover my entire face. I don't even squeeze the pipette, I just let it drop 3 tiny drops on my fingers, and that's enough. Considering this, it's cheaper than my moisturizer (which is cheaper per volume, but I use more of it). Having said this, the bottle will definitely last a long time (at least for me, as I don't slather myself in it liberally). Your mileage might vary, but for me, this is a product that my skin has reacted very well to, and that will most likely have a permanent place in my nighttime facial care routine. Regarding the delivery & packaging of the product - it was packed securely in bubble wrap; there was no damage to it. The bottle is practical, with a pipette, so it is very easy to apply just the amount you need. The glass is brown just as advertised, so the contents are protected from sun exposure. Overall, the packaging is simple, to the point, and classy. The delivery time was also swift. All in all, an awesome product :)
Review: Good quality at by far the best price I could find for a 100ml . - I have dry skin and this oil is absorbed easily and effectively rehydrates. Also can be used on dry hair by putting a small amount on finger tips and running through hair. Importantly it gets rid of lines and wrinkles in a relatively short period of time. Very small amounts only are needed. I use after bathing on arms and legs as well as face and neck. I haven't tried other oils such as argan or rosehip which are supposed be very effective at lines and wrinkles too, so can't compare. Derived from olive oil so no animals involved!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this ok to use under your eyes?**
A: I've been using mine under my eyes and haven't had any problems at all. It's very moisturising on the face

**Q: Does anyone have the ingredients list?**
A: It's 100% olive squalane (made exclusively from olives) with no parabens, silicates, polyethylene glycols (PEGS) or mineral oils and not tested on animals.

**Q: Anyone use this on their hair**
A: Sorry, never used for hair, but wonderful for face.

**Q: The description states odourless the one i have received 2 days ago smells very strongly of WD-40 oil.... ? Could it be off..?**
A: It is interesting that you have said that this product smells slightly of wd 40......I found it smelling ever so slightly of petrol too.   Strangely I use it on my face, but also on my hands and my hands seem to be getting dryer.   I think this product needs to be investigated.  I have very good skin for my age I am told.   I have used oil of olay since I was sixteen and now add coconut oil as well.   I am now eighty.   I hope this has helped.   Regards,  Margaret Altink

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Night time choice
*by K***N on 22 February 2018*

A nice and light oil, exellent on top off serums, having a shaved head, its a wee tad shinny for day wear, but good over night. I used post glycolic peel, very nice on the skin recovery, ontop off my serum, coenzyme cq10 and matrrixyl. Pound for pound, good value and its organic.
