Pure squalane seals winter dryness and calms sensitive skin; can trigger deep spots.

What the community says

A one-ingredient squalane oil for sealing moisturizer into dry, reactive skin, especially through winter or retinoid flaking. It layers easily in tiny amounts, but acne-prone users can get deep jawline spots and oily skin may find it too heavy.
