“I do the two cleanse method with an oil based cleanser first, followed by a water based. Because I have acne prone and sensitive skin, I am careful about what I put on my face, especially when it comes to oil. I have been using The Ordinary Squalene cleanser as my 1st cleanser and loved it. I recognized that my skin is happy with squalene and responds well. BUT I hate having to go buy in the store. So I looked for a similar product and found this one by Dermatica. This is a great, great squalene cleanser, very similar to The Ordinary, but with a bit more "slip" as it has some added oils in it. It does the job of breaking down face makeup and glides well on the skin. The airless pump is my favorite type of bottle for skin care ingredients and this one is very nice. I have NO idea how this oil based cleanser would stand up to a different cleanser that was formulated with a different oil for makeup removal......but for a squalene based product, I think it is fantastic and I will be buying again.NOTE: this is a product you would use for the double cleanse method. It would not be a single cleanse product as there is residue that would be left behind and not leave your skin clean.”
“If you're prone to fungal acne please patch test this first, I got a horrible outbreak the night after trying this once. Also it left a sticky feeling film on my face, but I guess that's what the second cleanse is good for.”
