    I have very sensitive and pimple prone skin with dry patches and have been using the ordinary squalane over my moisturizer. for one year now I love it because it does not break me out, smells nothing, and it leave a kind of soft "layer" on my skin that is not greasy, and it really helps with dry patches. So to sum up: squalane is a good moisturizer suitable for sensitive skin, nothing more, nothing less.

    @HayGurlHay 5 ปีที่แล้ว +36

    I'm very acne prone with combo skin and have been using pure squalane oil for a year or so. I find it helps SO MUCH with my under eye dryness, and I put it all over my face too in the Fall/Winter months. I didn't get one dry patch last Winter & it never breaks me out as it's non comedogenic. I think people love it due to it's stability (more stable than coconut oil). If you'd like to try it for cheap The Ordinary has a bottle for like 5 bucks. I also use it on top of my retinol treatment. It's just awesome for dry skin in the winter, and you can use it all over your body!

So I come to Dr. Dray to get her pick and she’s the only one that’s telling it like it is. I mean she didn’t knock it down, but it’s not doing anymore than what mineral oil or petrolatum would do for my skin. Thank you Dr. Dray. You’re the real MVP!

    I am 55 and typically assumed to be in my late 30s. I have two basic premises in my skincare routine. 1. Skincare is additive. There is no holy grail besides consistency. The various products you use all contribute. 2. Variety is good.
    I have replaced moisturizer with facial oils and rotate through a variety of them morning and night. Squalane is one of these. I have not noticed anything that makes it standout from my other plant based oils. It absorbs easily. It's non-greasy. So with your information on it, I will not quit using it but I will certainly consider whether to continue using it when this bottle is empty. I blend my own facial oils as well as purchase them. With so many options not replacing it will certainly be a consideration.
    Thank you for your always good information.

I had seen squalene before but never paid it much attention until i found a skin care line specializing in rosacea sufferers. I have rosy, redness prone sensitive skin and squalene was in one of their products. Instead of paying the ridiculous high price for the oil they sold, i tried the ordinary squalene, and it was a GAME CHANGER for my dry sensitive skin. It glows now. ❤️ and its actually comfortable 😭 ❤️❤️❤️

    I love squalene oil as a moisturizer. I have normal/oily skin in the T-zone and dry skin everywhere else, and I find this especially great in the winter when my cheeks are literally chapped. I also like this after a peel since there isn't anything about it that would cause irritation. I've recently started using Retin-A and this helps soften the dry patches, and helps with the overall appearance of dry skin.
    This does NOT leave a greasy feel like mineral oil. I also do prefer "clean beauty" products so this is a great alternative for those of us who don't want to use mineral oil. I am well aware what Dr. Dray thinks of "clean" products but to each her own - I also said PREFER, because I'm not a hardcore and still sprinkle conventional products in my routine... like Retin-A. I try to do my best to look up each ingredient in the products I use so I can make the chose to use it or not which is why I love Dr. Dray's videos! Super informative.

    It's amazing. I use it nightly after retin A & it's only thing that has worked to stop irritation & peeling. Skin is beautiful, soft & glowing by morning.

      best to put squalane oil on before moisturiser apparently as the molecules are bigger. Moisturiser molecules are smaller so moisturiser goes on first then the oil, that way everything gets to your skin properly, otherwise the oil just sits on top :)

      Doctor Anne I am using a product called BYBI 1% Bakuchiol Booster: the only 2 ingredients are bakuchiol and squalene. I have been using it for about a month to test it as a viable substitute for tretinoin (I discussed my reservations with you about using tretinoin on your TH-cam channel with you a couple of weeks ago). I am really enjoying this product! It is lovely and soooo moisturizing!

    Studies in skincare are sponsored by cosmetics companies. But those are not interested in paying for studies about squalane because it's a very cheap ingredient that cannot give them a lot of profit. But it does work for me and for many others, much better than other well researched and much more expensive ingredients pushed by dermatologists like niacinamide or ceramides...

    Hey Doc.! I am coming to this squalane party very, very late, but I just want to add my two cents as well. Squalane oil has been a real game changer for me! I've started using it a year or so ago and I am loving the results I'm getting. It has improved my dry skin, it has helped decrease fine lines and I just love the way it makes my thirsty skin feel soft, smooth and comfortable. Also, it doesn't clog pores at all! I am a 50 year old male with mixed, chronically dehydrated, sensitive skin.
    Thank you for all your fun and Informative posts!

    I used squalane in the dropper bottle for my body care. I added it to the moisturiser and it did make it more emollient. Apart from that I noticed no additional benefit from squalane. My extremely dry skin didn’t improve significantly. It didn’t do any harm, I went through the whole bottle. But it didn’t do anything extra. I’m not going to buy it again.
    As for using it for my face, I also suspect that it’s like adding more sebum to my already combination skin.

    For me, squalane has helped a lot because I have seborrheic dermatitis and so many moisturizers cause flare ups, but this doesn't. I don't think it is doing anything magical other than keeping me moisturized but I'm glad to have something that isn't causing flaking on my eyebrows. I will say if I use too much at one time I get more breakouts.

    Squalane and MCT oil are the only two oils so far that dont feed malassezia (the overgrowth of this normal fungus causes my subcutaneous dermatitis).
    Im making my own shampoo bars and lotions because there is not a lot out there for people who suffer from ‘sub-derm’ other than the zinc shampoos… they help but Id like to also avoid the oils that ‘feed’ it, even though they are healthy for most others.

  • @rebecca3745
    @rebecca3745 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I use squalane as a quick dry skin moisturizer by just pressing the oil into my skin during the day. Right now, I'm going thru infancy tretinoin, so during the day, if my face feels tight, I press a fingertip-ful in without rubbing off the mineral sunscreen already applied to relieve tightness. Not sticky, not shiny, and it seems to be absorbed. I purchase Timeless brand. Probably won't purchase again, since Dr. Dray has recommended so many other products i have tried and loved.

    I use cheap 100% squalane from amazon (around $12 for 2 oz). It has made a considerable difference in my skin texture (increased softness) and seems to work synergistically with my hadalabo collagen serum. My current routine is the hadalabo premium collagen, followed by squalane, followed by cerave moisturizer with ceramides on top (I source this cerave cheaply from Costco in bulk). This is the cheapest and by far most effective routine I’ve ever devised, and I’m quite pleased. It’s not a miracle but squalane has made more of a difference in my skin than many much more expensive skin products - however I am not prone to acne so that certainly might change another’s experience. Thanks for the video Dr. Dray!

I am currently using Biossance Squalane oil and it works so far. It doesn't feel greasy and doesn't sit on the skin. First time I really liked a moisturizing product with a great texture. Biossance is more expensive than say, Inkey but given the 100ml bottle, it works out to be the same cost as the smaller sized Inkey. I'm quite surprised i don't break out as well as i am acne-prone especially in the chin area with my PCOS problem.

    "Suffering" from both SD and rosacea, finding the right moisturizer is mission imposible. I also have extremely dry, flaky skin, so I use it as an emolient before make-up, which I do from time to time. I'd rather use this SD-friendly oil to a potentially irritating primer. It helps to smooth the flakiness and general driness. But, yes, it does not seem to have added benefits. I still need the power of a cream.
