Pros
It works well when mixed with other products, making it more moisturizing. It's a versatile product that I liked. Good for those with very dry skin. It also doesn't get damaged easily.
Cons
Nothing really bad... Maybe not recommended for oily skin? The white rubber part can get dirty if used for a long time.

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
- Ingredients The fact that it is a single-ingredient squalane is satisfying, as I did a lot of research and bought it specifically for the milia. - Moisturizing Power When mixed with 2-3 drops in a skin toner or aloe gel, it doesn't make the skin oily at all, but balances the oil and moisture well. My face feels comfortable, and the areas that used to be excessively oily like the forehead, chin, and nose can be applied generously without causing any trouble! Yet, it doesn't leave the skin feeling dry and tight! Amazing! - Price I bought it for around 7,900 won for 30ml. Is this price for real? The price is a total steal. - Packaging The glass dropper bottle makes it easy to use without getting my hands dirty. ★ Milia Management I researched the ingredients, reduced my skincare steps, and changed products. I'm only using the Whamisa Calendula Toner, Aromatica Aloe Gel, and this Squalane. After 2 weeks of use: The milia have significantly reduced. After 1 month of use: The breakouts around my mouth before my period have also disappeared. After 2 months of use: I recently moved to an extremely dry office (with a heater) and have been wearing a mask all day, but apart from the environmental changes, only a couple of milia and blemishes have appeared.
Cons
It's recommended to use within 6 months after opening, but I've been using it on my hair as well, so I don't think I'll be able to use it all up in time. Since there are no preservatives, I should be applying it all over my body to use it up within the timeframe. Also, after using it for 2 months, the moisturizing effect seems to have decreased a bit, possibly due to the environmental changes. I'm considering using more, but that might make it too shiny.
Tip
Just buy it, buy it twice. Even though squalane is a high-concentration ingredient, it's not irritating at all. I've been using it and haven't experienced any irritation whatsoever.

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
The toner and lotion I've been using have low oil content, so my skin has been feeling dry. But as soon as I started using this product, my skin became incredibly soft and smooth - it's a whole new world! And my skin's oil and moisture balance has improved, so my sebum production has actually decreased. At first, I thought the product might not be moisturizing enough since it spreads thinly and flows easily. But the moisturizing layer lasts a long time. I was looking for an oil that would just form a moisturizing layer without causing breakouts, so I looked into oils with a comedogenic rating of 0. I heard that natural oils can easily go rancid if not stored properly, and may cause allergic reactions, so I ended up getting squalane! It's affordable, has Ecocert and USDA certifications, so I trust the quality and have been using it with confidence.
Cons
This product is absolutely amazing for me, but based on the reviews, it seems like quite a few people don't find it suitable. Even though it doesn't cause any stinging or itching for my super sensitive skin, which made me think it would work well for anyone, it seems skincare really is a very personal thing.

Pros
My skin, which used to be prone to breakouts due to the use of highly oily ingredients, has been using this product recommended by my dermatologist without any issues. It's so moisturizing, lightweight, and just wonderful!
Cons
There's really nothing bad to say about it. The price is affordable, but the only thing is that it's only available for purchase online.
Tip
You can mix it a little with your existing skincare products and apply it, or you can simply apply the oil on its own.

Pros
The texture is well-absorbed and not too heavy, giving a moisturizing+1 feel. It's not slowly absorbed either, so it's easy to apply smoothly. Since it's a basic moisturizer, you can mix it with body lotion to thin out the lotion texture, making it apply evenly. You can even use it on your hair - it's very versatile!
Cons
This issue isn't just with this product, but with most dropper-type ordinary products - it's difficult to get the last bits out as the dropper can't reach them. But that's unavoidable, and I don't dislike using the dropper itself.
Tip
I mix it with other oils to apply all over my body and hair. Since the texture isn't heavy, I can easily incorporate it into various uses.
