Best praise vs top criticism for The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser
“The Ordinary’s Squalane cleanser is such a good oil-based cleanser. And it’s so affordable!”
“I hate it, but The Ordinary Squalane cleanser does not piss my skin off. Really hoping to find something else though because as I said, I hate it. (Gotta rub my hands together like I'm making a fire to get it from cream to slippy like the instructions say.)”
