100% Squalane Oil — Reddit Reviews
by Biossance
Updated October 3, 2026
Pure squalane oil for dry, flaky, irritated skin; very simple.
What the community says
A single-ingredient oil people use to seal in moisture, especially when tretinoin or winter air leaves skin tight and flaky. It suits dry, dehydrated, and reactive skin; acne-prone folks may still want to patch test.
What this means for you
What people love
- Single-ingredient squalane — dead simple and easy to slot in
- Fixes winter dryness and tretinoin flaking fast
- Works on irritated, rosacea-prone skin and eyelids
Watch out for
- Can feel like overkill unless your skin is actually dry
- Not a standalone acne fix — one user still had old pimples
- Pricey enough that people joke about the money gone
