As I tend to have dry skin I usually add a few drops of oil to my normal moisturiser. This one is very good - light and easily absorbed.

This is my favorite The Ordinary product because it is cheap and does exactly what it says. I use it mainly to add a layer over my moisturizer at night if I am feeling particularly dry. A light...

At first I found this to be a bit too oily but I noticed it was just because I applied too much at once. After carefully applying enough amount I was able to see improvement and can say this is a...

I occasionally use this on my face - right after the shower but you do need another moisturizer on top. I've never had any problem with it but again I don't put it on my face very often. The real...

I used the product now for about one month, and it helps with dry skin! The acids can be a bit drying to your skin, but when you use the Plant-Derived Squalane with the moisturizer in top, it works...

My dry skin absolutely loves this product. I use it a lot in the winter because the wind is blistery and the air is void of any moisture where I live. I apply it after all my skin treatments and...
