Does this contain any special/beneficial ingredients?

Squalane: Squalane has anti-inflammatory properties, is lightweight, and helps smooth the texture of skin. 

What is the texture like?

This has a bit of an oily feel to it when first applied, but it absorbs readily and quickly into the skin. I find that it feels lighter in comparison to The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane.

Is this scented?

This has no discernable scent to it.

What has my experience with the product been like?

I'm sure many of you readers know, if you've read my blog for any length of time, of my deep love for squalane oil. While I am a bit of a loyalist to The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane, I decided to try something else after the second time that a bottle of The Ordinary tipped over and spilled much of the oil out, making me sad. Is one better than the other? Frankly, no. For anyone that needs a recap, I personally love squalane because, when I use it regularly, my skin is far less red and I constantly suffer with skin-irratation related redness because, due to my PCOS, I shave my face. Additionally, squalane oil makes my skin feel silky smooth unlike anything else. So due to both the buttery skin texture and the reduction in both irratation and redness, I love my squalane. I'm convinced it's keeping my skin bouncy and healthy. Additionally, since the large 8 oz. bottle of this particular oil is more economic to purchase overall, I'll probably purchase that going forward. I wanted to try a smaller bottle first just to make sure I liked it. But since I end up typically purchasing 2-3 bottles throughout the year, it makes sense to just buy the large bottle. I mean, in addition to just using it on the face, it's great for areas of eczema or otherwise dry skin on the body because it absorbs quickly and is anti-inflammatory so it won't leave you feeling greasy; I used it often on my tattoo when it was in the healing stage back in 2019 (I mean not this one, but squalane oil was used), it works great as a cuticle oil again because it's lightweight, it can also be used on the hair to enhance shine and to reduce any inflammatory issues on the scalp so there's plenty of uses for it. You can also add a few drop to foundation to give it a glowy finish or to thin the foundation out if it is thick. I'm glad I came across this brand as another option.
