## Description

Formulated with well-loved hydrator Squalane, our balm leverages its emollience to provide immediate, long-lasting hydration and skin barrier support.

This formulation can also be used to nourish, soften and smoothen elbows and cuticles.

Review: A DEFINITE FOR MY PURSE! - The Ordinary keeps impressing me! This lip balm feels incredibly moisturizing without being thick or waxy. My lips stay soft for hours, and it gives just the right amount of shine. It isn’t sticky, doesn’t have an overpowering scent, and works great under lipstick or on its own. I’ve found myself reaching for it throughout the day. A little squeeze is all you need, so I think this tube will last quite a while. Definitely staying in my purse! Thanks, desertcart 💕
Review: Simple, Effective Lip Hydration That Actually Makes a Difference - I picked up The Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Hydrating Lip because I wanted a lip product that did more than just sit on the surface — something that genuinely hydrates and helps maintain moisture throughout the day. After using it consistently for a couple of weeks, I can honestly say it’s become a staple in my routine. First off, the texture is excellent. It’s lightweight but rich enough that you can feel it working without that greasy, heavy feeling some balms leave behind. The squalane blends beautifully with the amino acids to help lock in moisture — and I noticed that even on mornings when my lips felt dry or chapped, they looked noticeably smoother after applying this. What I really appreciate about this product is how gentle it feels. My lips are somewhat sensitive, especially in cold or dry weather, and a lot of products either sting or cause irritation. This one never does. There’s no strong scent or flavor, so it’s perfect for anyone who doesn’t like overly fragrant lip products. It’s subtle, soothing, and genuinely hydrating without being overwhelming. Application is smooth and even, and I like that it layers well with other lip products. Some days I’ll wear it on its own, and other days I’ll use it as a base under lipstick or gloss. In both cases, it keeps my lips soft and prevents cracking or peeling throughout the day. I’ve also noticed that over time, my lips feel more resilient — less prone to dryness even on days I forget to reapply. That long-term improvement is something I didn’t expect from a lip hydrator, but it’s become one of its best qualities. Overall, The Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Hydrating Lip strikes a great balance between simplicity and performance. It does exactly what it claims: smooths, hydrates, and helps protect lips in a gentle, effective way. If you’re looking for a reliable daily lip hydrator that actually improves softness and comfort over time, this is definitely worth trying.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works well, but not so easy to get out of tube
*by A***S on July 11, 2026*

The ordinary makes great products and this is no exception. The squalene is very moisturizing, but it is a very small amount and the containers a little bit stiff so you really have to press. I have a feeling I will end up leaving a bunch in the container when I can no longer get it to come out of the opening
