Squalane + Amino Acids Hydrating Lip Balm, for Lips, Elbows, and Cuticles, 0.5 Fl Oz

I picked up The Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Hydrating Lip because I wanted a lip product that did more than just sit on the surface — something that genuinely hydrates and helps maintain moisture throughout the day. After using it consistently for a couple of weeks, I can honestly say it’s become a staple in my routine. First off, the texture is excellent. It’s lightweight but rich enough that you can feel it working without that greasy, heavy feeling some balms leave behind. The squalane blends beautifully with the amino acids to help lock in moisture — and I noticed that even on mornings when my lips felt dry or chapped, they looked noticeably smoother after applying this. What I really appreciate about this product is how gentle it feels. My lips are somewhat sensitive, especially in cold or dry weather, and a lot of products either sting or cause irritation. This one never does. There’s no strong scent or flavor, so it’s perfect for anyone who doesn’t like overly fragrant lip products. It’s subtle, soothing, and genuinely hydrating without being overwhelming. Application is smooth and even, and I like that it layers well with other lip products. Some days I’ll wear it on its own, and other days I’ll use it as a base under lipstick or gloss. In both cases, it keeps my lips soft and prevents cracking or peeling throughout the day. I’ve also noticed that over time, my lips feel more resilient — less prone to dryness even on days I forget to reapply. That long-term improvement is something I didn’t expect from a lip hydrator, but it’s become one of its best qualities. Overall, The Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Hydrating Lip strikes a great balance between simplicity and performance. It does exactly what it claims: smooths, hydrates, and helps protect lips in a gentle, effective way. If you’re looking for a reliable daily lip hydrator that actually improves softness and comfort over time, this is definitely worth trying.

Better than any lip balm or chapstick type product I've ever used.. it actually helps and it feels good and your lips don't feel worse afterwards.

Really helps dry lips. A little gloss feel but not sticky

Love this product!! I use product on my lips multiple times per hour, all day long... I hate waxy, sticky products... I like oils, balms and ointments that truly moisturize, protect and povide healing. I have been really impressed with this product- not only does it moisturize and last, but promotes healing / healthy lips!! Will purchase again and again!

This is really nice. I had painfully chapped cracking lips and this helped heal them. It’s very moisturizing with a good texture. The packaging is different but works well.

Good product.. works well on lips (and cuticles as others have said). Just disappointed in the amount for the cost. Not a great value.

Such a great price and amazing lip balm. It applies like butter and feels velvety. I use it all the time.

I tried this form of lip hydration and loved it so much that has become part of my morning skin prep routine. No scent, no allergic reactions, runs smoothly and it is easy to apply. Although it is a little bigger that a quarter I consider it a good value for the money, as very little product is necessary to achieve hydration.

Hace que mis labios se sientas muy suaves. No es para nada pesada

Idrata bene le labbra, a lungo, ma se si ha bisogno di riparare, anche con continuo utilizzo non si vedono grandi differenze.

This one reallly hydrates my lips compared to glycerine base lip balm.

Niedlich. Gut dosierbar. Nicht pappig auf den Lippen. Pflegeergebnis muss ich noch länger testen

Its keeps my lips hydrated... very nice.
