Among face oils, this one applies lightly, absorbs well, and blends perfectly with any product - it's truly a versatile essential. Even when applied to oily areas, it doesn't sit on top of the skin, making it ideal for balancing oil and moisture. I've been using it all winter, and it's been great for hydration!
ConsThere's nothing to complain about. I can't wait for summer to pass so I can use it again in autumn. The volume is generous, so using just a drop or two will last you a long time.

Ingredients ★★★★★ The ingredients are fantastic! There are no allergens, making it perfect for worry-free use. User Experience ★★★★★ I researched how to use it online before trying. I saw advice to use 3 drops for oily skin and 5 for dry skin, but I think 3 drops are enough regardless of skin type. I used 3 drops and was satisfied - it felt light, non-greasy, yet provided sufficient hydration.
ConsAcne (I usually get one or two blemishes every week) Not sure if it's because of this product, but on the 5th day of use, I got 4-5 blemishes. I've paused using it and will try again once my skin calms down. Price Honestly... I'm not sure if I'd pay this much for regular use. I might consider repurchasing if it's on sale, but the price is quite steep.
TipIf you're unsure how much to use, I recommend starting with 3 drops and gradually increasing if you feel it's not enough.

The gentle ingredients were the best part. I never order products if even one ingredient concerns me, as I have super sensitive skin. My combination skin leans slightly dry, so I focus on evening skincare and maintain oil-moisture balance with minimal products. It feels like a lightweight serum that leaves a beautiful glow when applied. I was lucky to try it as part of The Hwahae Testers, but I plan to purchase it when I run out. Highly recommended for those with very dry skin in winter. I don't use it for morning makeup, but on extra dry days, I mix it with foundation. Usually, I apply a drop to my forehead and each cheek as the final skincare step, spread it all over, then pat it in with warm hands before bed. It doesn't just sit on top like some oils - it absorbs well while still leaving a nourishing feel, without being too heavy. While I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin, it's perfect for dry and combination skin types. Be sure to use it as your last skincare step, and try mixing it with makeup for a non-cakey dewy finish!
ConsIt might feel a bit like a coating? If you dislike that sensation, you may find it slightly heavy, though I personally enjoy it. The price is a bit high for the amount, but the ingredients justify it. While it's an oil serum, it's not too heavy and is easy to apply lightly. However, like all oil products, it can feel a bit rich on the skin.
TipApply 2-3 drops after evening cleansing as the final skincare step. On dry days, mix with foundation. For reference, my evening routine is: exfoliating toner - cica serum - oil-moisture balance cream - The Scent oil. Morning routine: hydrating toner - nourishing serum - oil-moisture balance cream - sunscreen - The Scent oil mixed with foundation - powder.

The texture was incredibly lightweight! I mixed it with my moisturizer, which is the last step in my skincare routine. When I used to apply just the moisturizer alone, it would absorb quickly, but the hydration seemed to evaporate easily. However, mixing it with the Squalane Barrier Oil made a noticeable difference. It applied with a more supple feel and I could sense it creating a firmer, more resilient layer on my skin, which I loved. The hydration lasted longer, and I didn't feel the typical stickiness or heaviness associated with oils. I appreciated how it seemed to prolong the effectiveness of the cream. While emulsion-like products with a rich feel don't suit me, mixing this with a light moisturizer worked wonderfully. The lasting power improved, so I'll definitely keep using it!
ConsI don't have any complaints. It worked perfectly when I mixed a drop or two with a non-greasy moisturizer. It doesn't pair well with emulsions though.
TipI haven't quite found the perfect technique yet, but I'm currently mixing a few drops with an appropriate amount of cream before applying.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers. First off, what I liked: 1. The ingredients are excellent. I have sensitive skin that breaks out easily with just about anything, but this product is made with gentle ingredients, which I really appreciate. 2. It doesn't leave my skin looking greasy. Most face oils tend to have a heavy, sticky texture, but The Scent Oil feels light and has a clean finish, which I love. Other positives: - The packaging is sleek and simple. - It comes with a dropper, making it easy to dispense the product cleanly. - It's unscented, which is great.
ConsI have sensitive and very dry skin, and while The Scent Oil is light and refreshing, it felt a bit insufficient for my dry skin (compared to jojoba oil, but that's just my personal opinion!). Even after applying an extra layer on dry areas before bed, I still woke up with some skin tightness in the morning. If you're looking for a more rich oil, you might find this slightly disappointing.
TipAlthough it's an oil, it has a light and fresh feel. It might work well mixed with foundation for winter makeup application.

I became interested in squalane and decided to apply for the testing program. Although I have oily skin, I feel dryness in winter, so I use oils. Compared to other oils, this one felt much cleaner and lighter, which I really liked. I recommend this product to those with oily skin who experience dryness but find regular oils too heavy.
ConsThere weren't any difficulties with this product. However, the price is a bit steep for me to purchase with my own money.
TipIt's great to mix with essences or creams, but I also found it effective to apply it alone. Just dispense some onto your hands, spread it out, and then gently press it onto your face.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsPersonally, I find that squalane oil works well for me. While jojoba oil absorbs slowly and sometimes causes blemishes, squalane oil absorbs well and doesn't cause any skin issues. Previously, I used 100% squalane mixed with cream, but this oil feels lighter, perhaps due to the additional ingredients. For a week, I applied one drop each to my forehead and cheeks after toner and essence, then finished with cream. When applied during the essence step, it felt like a slightly rich essence but absorbed better than 100% squalane. It maintained good oil and moisture balance, working well around the eyes and mouth, but strangely, my cheekbone area felt a bit dry by bedtime. So, I tried mixing two drops of oil into my toner-essence-cream steps, which seemed to keep my skin hydrated longer. I've been using this method since. Overall, it's gentle, absorbs freshly, and balances oil and moisture well. As long as you don't overuse it, it should work nicely. The amount seems small, but you only need a little each time, so it should last a while. There's no noticeable scent, so it should mix well with any product.
ConsThe dropper performance was slightly disappointing, but it's still usable.
TipIt doesn't seem to pair well with creams high in shea butter content (which tend to pill easily). Once, I tried a routine of toner - squalane oil - cream with high shea butter content. Right after application, it felt fine, but come bedtime, it started pilling like dead skin cells. Being too lazy for a full cleanse, I just rinsed with water and applied two drops of squalane oil to my cheeks, forehead, and chin before sleeping. When I woke up, my skin felt soft and smooth. This made me realize that finishing skincare with just this oil might work better than mixing it with high shea butter content creams.

As someone with very oily skin, I never even considered oil-based products. On the first day, I noticed a few small bumps on my chin, but after that, it was quite good! I expected the oil to have a heavy texture, but it was surprisingly lightweight and felt refreshing to use. My skin is super sensitive and usually turns red and tingles with the slightest incompatibility, but I didn't experience any of that!
ConsThere wasn't anything particularly disappointing, but if you don't control the amount well and apply too much, it seems like small bumps might appear slightly.
TipWhen used before bed, my skin feels hydrated and not dry in the morning. Also, for someone like me who dislikes oiliness, applying a moisture-rich cream before using this oil worked really well!

Although I have combination skin, it gets so dry in winter that it's almost like having dry skin. I've been using this as a light finishing touch. When finishing my skincare routine, products with fragrance often feel heavy, but I love that this one is fragrance-free.
ConsThe amount seems a bit small, and it feels a bit pricey for the quantity you get. I was worried because it's an oil, but thankfully it didn't cause any blemishes.

It absorbs well, and 6 drops are enough to cover both face and neck. Application method: I used it after toner and serum, then finished with cream. I paired it with Cynic skin toner, and alternated between COSRX cream and Cell Fusion C Rejuvenation cream weekly. It worked well with all products without any pilling. Hydration: This product's hydration is unmatched. I didn't experience dryness once this winter. I'm thrilled to have found such a precious product at the perfect time. Even with just an emulsion after this, the hydration lasts. It's especially great for winter, but shouldn't feel too heavy in summer either. Volume: Though not a large bottle, I used 6 drops twice daily for two weeks and barely made a dent. I expect it to last a good 6 months. Effects: My skin became incredibly supple and soft after using this. I had some blemishes during my period after a week of use, which it couldn't prevent (I'm prone to hormonal breakouts). I wish I could share better 'after' photos. I can feel the softness every time I wash my face. I just wish others could see the difference too! Overall: Highly recommended for those looking for a face oil or serum. Suitable for sensitive, combination, dry, oily, and normal skin types. I experienced no irritation despite having sensitive skin. The ingredients are praiseworthy! I feel lucky to have discovered this product. It's perfect for those with combination dehydrated skin and deep dryness.
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing. You just need to be mindful of controlling the amount used.
