Common questions

Is The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser fragrance-free?

Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients. The Ordinary also describes it as fragrance-free.

Does The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.

Is The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser safe for fungal acne?

It contains 3 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (ethyl macadamiate, sucrose stearate, sucrose laurate). How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.

Is The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser suitable for sensitive skin?

Its ingredient list avoids the most common irritants: no fragrance, essential oils, drying alcohol or strong exfoliating acids are listed. Reactions are individual, so patch-test anything new.
