I was looking for something on the computer and I came across some topics on squlane.    It is supposedly very good for skin issues and very gentle and easily absorbed into the skin.  But the articles I saw said to make sure to use the kind made with olives not shark oil.  Just wondered if anyone had used this oil and what you thought?  Thanks.

Hi I just did a search and there are a number of threads about Squalane going back as far as 2011

I have very dry, sensitive, mature skin.  I cannot tolerate Retin-A so I'm using The Ordinary's Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane.  So far, this has been pleasant to use with no negative reactions.  I've been using Deciem and The Ordinary products for a couple of years and my skin has responded beautifully. 

The Ordinary's 100% Plant-Derived Squalane (30ml) is available for $7.90 and their products are not tested on animals.  They offer a 365-day full refund.  Go for it!

I have used it too. I believe it is from olives and olive oil is very good for your skin. I used olive oil and vit E together to put on my skin after radiation for cancer--worked like a charm. Toward the last week of rads, my skin got very burned like many others go thru but when I was done my skin healed up very quickly. It is very soothing and moisturizing.

@AngelPuppy1I would recommend you go to the Evine site and look up Skinn Oleo Serum - watch the video.  It has the concentrated olive oil plus some others.  I've been using this for a couple of months now and I LOVE it.  I tried going the oil route for skincare treatments a few years ago and it wasn't for me.  The results weren't good and I didn't like how my skin felt.  The Skinn Oleo Serum is different from any other oil type treatment product I've ever tried.  It's more of a light gel consistency yet it gives all the benefits of the oil without feeling oily.

I use Dr. Denese skincare products and I believe some of them contain squaline. I have very fair, sensitive skin with a ton of issues and allergies and these work for me. I am also 50+ and holding. I don't have luck with the retinol products in general because they seem to be too strong for me. I'm on the extreme end of what works because of all of my "issues" so once I find a product I stick with it.

I love The Ordinary's squalane.  It is so light and sinks right in.  And the price is right.

I've been using only 100% squalane as a moisturizer twice as day on dampish skin after my shower & at the end of the day after cleansing before bed for about 8-9 years.  I buy an 8 oz. bottle from Garden of Wisdom (it's in their Raw Ingredients/Carrier & Exotic Oils section) about once a year & transfer it into a glass bottle w/dropper to use in the bathroom. Love the stuff & it's never broken me out.  I tried argan oil & it's OK, but is slightly too heavy for my facial skin, so I stick with squalane.

I had a lactic acid peel today and I used  The Ordinary's squalane immediately after. Love how it sinks right into the skin. Great product.
