You can use this in the morning and evening and there are no conflicts so it´s a great product to have. You can read all about layering The Ordinary here.

Deciem say that Natural Moisturising Factors (NMF) are elements that keep the outer layer of the skin protected and well-hydrated. NMF are made up of multiple amino acids, fatty acids, triglycerides, urea, ceramides, phospholipids, glycerin, saccharides, sodium PCA, hyaluronic acid and many other compounds that are naturally present in the skin.
This formula offers non-greasy hydration that acts as a direct topical supplement of impaired NMF components. It contains 11 amino acids, phospholipids, alpha/beta/gamma fatty acids, triglycerides, sterols and sterol esters, glycerin, ceramide precursors, urea, saccharides, sodium PCA and hyaluronic acid. It offers immediate hydration and lasting results with continued use.
The Ordinary Squalane Oil
Quick look at Squalane Oil
- Squalane Oil is amazing for Dehydration
- You can use Squalane Oil in the morning and evening
- There are no conflicts with this product
- Tips, great for lips and some people mix this with a little concealer under eyes.
- You can use this alone or after water-based products and before heavy creams.
- As with any product, patch tests are recommended.
Deciem say Squalane is a saturated and stable hydrocarbon that is found naturally in the skin. It has very high emollience, is an exceptional hydrator and can prevent ongoing loss of hydration that impairs dermal suppleness. Squalane is non-comedogenic and is suitable for use on all skin types. It can also be applied to hair to increase heat protection, add shine and reduce breakage potential.
Note: This product uses 100% pure plant-derived Squalane that is ECOCERT approved and is a USDA Certified Bio-based Product.
If you are new to The Ordinary and skincare, I highly recommend starting with a set regimen or asking Deciem for a personalised regimen. You will save time, money and a lot of stress. You can find lots more Deciem regimens here and also the How To Layer The Ordinary Guide.
