Pros
1. It's affordable. 2. Squalane is similar to the body's natural sebum. As a result, it is readily absorbed into both the hair and skin. 3. Even when applied generously to the hair, it does not leave a greasy appearance, so there is no need for a hair essence. 4. During the dry winter months, I have not felt any dryness since using it as an additive to my body lotion.
Cons
I have not felt it. I just need to fill in the text, so I wrote whatever.
Tip
It can be used as a hair oil and added generously to body lotion, allowing for trouble-free use for up to 6 months.

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~~

Pros
It keeps my skin moisturized and well-balanced, even for dry skin. It absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue.
Cons
There wasn't really anything I disliked. The price was affordable, and it was difficult to find any drawbacks.

Pros
Price: The price is really affordable! I purchased it through the Hwahae app. Absorption: The absorption is so good, I applied it right after cleansing and it absorbed without any oiliness! It doesn't clog pores, so I recommend it for combination, sensitive, and acne-prone skin types. As for the calming effect on acne, I'll have to use it more to see the results.
Cons
After applying the oil and some time passed, I then used the essence I had been using, and I was surprised to feel a stinging sensation. Whether that was due to the oil or the moisture entering my dry skin, I'll have to keep using it to find out.
Tip
I always apply the oil right after cleansing! That way, it helps maintain moisture and doesn't feel like it's just sitting on top of the skin.

Pros
I've been using this product along with the ampoule, and it seems to be just right. It doesn't cause any breakouts, it's not sticky or oily, and it absorbs completely, making it suitable for both day and night use.
Cons
Using too much of it can sometimes lead to a few breakouts. Moderation is key. I apply a few drops after using the ampoule, and it provides adequate hydration and soothing effects.
Tip
I recommend using this product together with the ampoule. For those with severe oiliness, I'm not sure, but it seems to work well for combination skin. For dry skin, this product alone may not be enough. I've been using the ampoule and this product together, and it has helped calm my breakouts.

Pros
The product has good spreadability and is quite oily, which is nice. The absorption seems average. Most importantly, I've noticed that my skin looks better the next day after using it.
Cons
At first, I didn't read the instructions and my skin became red and swollen. Since I have relatively clear skin, I didn't pay much attention and just applied it, but ㅠㅠ For retinol products, you should start with a weaker formula and gradually build up tolerance before using the highest concentration. I didn't know that and just slathered it on, and suffered terribly for about a week. Please keep this in mind.

Pros
I bought it because I heard it's good for the skin barrier. I was curious about squalane, as I had only heard about it before. There is a slight stickiness, which can be inconvenient to absorb in the summer, but it still absorbs nicely and leaves a refreshed feeling. It seems to be an oil that can be used all-around.
Cons
I didn't see much of an effect, to my surprise ㅠㅠ Since my skin condition is not great, that might be the reason... But I still applied it all over my body, as it has a bit of a 'multi-purpose oil' feel to it.

Pros
After listening to Director Pai's lecture, I purchased this product for the winter as it contains squalane, which is a great ingredient. The absorption is good and it works well.
Cons
However, I didn't really feel the need to purchase and use this oil solely for the squalane ingredient. It's good, but I'm not sure if I need to go through the trouble of applying this oil separately from my cream. At least it doesn't cause any breakouts!
Tip
Instead, I would recommend adding a few drops of this oil to your cream, that might work even better!

Pros
Squalane is not only a natural characteristic, but it also feels lightweight and highly absorbent, almost like it's not an oil at all. This squalane contains about 12% of the skin's surface lipids, making it highly penetrative and enhancing the effects of other skincare products. It is effective for skin hydration, suppleness, smoothness, healthy stratum corneum, and skin barrier function. It also slows down the aging process and helps maintain the skin's oil-water balance. The fact that you can find this in a 100% pure oil form is a great plus, and the price is very impressive as well.
Cons
There is not a single disappointing aspect to this product.
Tip
You can apply it directly or add a drop to your moisturizer. There is also a lighter version called Hemi-Squalane, which I would recommend for those new to squalane.

Pros
Affordable, affordable More clean and absorbs faster than jojoba oil The plastic shopping bag given at the Shinsegae Deciem store is so good
Cons
Since it's an oil, it doesn't run out no matter how much you use it ㅠㅠ Used for more than 6 months
Tip
Generously applying it as a sleeping pack makes the skin bouncy
