The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser offers a gentle cleansing step that combines makeup removal, sunscreen dissolution, and daily impurity cleansing without leaving the skin feeling tight or uncomfortable. It features a soft balm texture that transforms into a silky, oil-like consistency when warmed between the hands, helping to easily break down dirt, oils, and makeup. It then rinses off with water, leaving the skin feeling softer, cleaner, and more hydrated.
