  Pros

  It has a smooth, gliding application. Although it's an oil, it doesn't clog pores, so it feels refreshing. It's a good product to apply in the evening and sleep in, even during the summer.

  Cons

  The dropper has a very thin consistency, so it tends to drip down easily.

  Pros

  The last step leaves a feeling of being thoroughly moisturized the next day. Reasonable price and generous volume.

  Cons

  There's not much to complain about, but if I had to nitpick, the dropper bottle feels a bit unsatisfactory... I'm not sure if it's due to the formula, but when I pull out the dropper, a lot of the product gets stuck on the glass tube's side and starts dripping all over the place.

  Tip

  I don't mix it with anything else, just apply the cream and then finish off by lightly patting in a few drops on my palm onto my face. This way, there's no greasiness and it just sinks right in? But if you use more than that, your skin starts to feel a bit burdened.

  Pros

  I'm mixing it with a moisturizer! It absorbs really well and my skin feels firm and supple ㅠ I wonder why I didn't know about it sooner, and the price is so affordable too. Since I have very sensitive skin, using just anything makes my skin turn red and irritated, but this one doesn't have that problem and is great.

  Cons

  The expiration date is short, and using the oil alone makes my skin feel a bit slippery and floating. It's also quite runny, to the point of being inconvenient. The scent is unscented, but there's a musty smell to it, which is a bit... (´∀｀) Other than that, the effects are good.

  Tip

  When mixed with moisturizers/creams, it absorbs even better and is great! Applying the oil + moisturizer and then waking up gives your skin a honey-like glow~~

  OK
  Pros

  I usually care for my skin with just serum and moisturizer, but in the winter I add some oils. This winter, I chose The Ordinary Squalane, and I'm satisfied with it because it's affordable and helps control tightness. Using too much can cause a few small bumps, but adjusting the amount works well. I had a stubborn eye issue for a long time, but it went away after using this product.

  Cons

  The only downside to the product is that the dropper dispenses the product even without touching the pump, so sometimes it drips onto other areas before I can apply it to my palm.

  Tip

  I apply a light serum first, then rub this product into my palms and pat it all over my face, eyes, and neck. I finish with a hydrating cream. Adjusting the amount seems important. Lately, my skin has been drier than when I first started using it, so I've increased the amount, and the small bumps I had initially are now fine.
