What it actually does: an emollient closely resembling squalene, a component of your skin’s own sebum (the -a- version is the shelf-stable form, now sourced from sugarcane or olives). Softens, seals in hydration, zero greasy afterfeel, very low clogging risk.
Who it’s for: the rare oil that works for oily skin. Also dry skin, retinoid users (buffers irritation), and anyone whose skin hates heavier oils.
How to use it: a few drops as the last skincare step, or mixed into moisturiser. Morning or night.
Honest expectations: comfort and softness - it conditions, it doesn’t treat. Pair it with actives rather than expecting it to replace them.
