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.

This product feels nice on the skin and provides good, lightweight hydration. It absorbs well and doesn’t feel greasy, which I really like. However, the hydration doesn’t last very long, so I find myself needing to reapply during the day. Overall, it’s a good option for quick moisture, just not long lasting on its own.

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.

I tried this form of lip hydration and loved it so much that it 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.

This has been doing an amazing job of keeping my lips moisturized. It's smooth, not greasy, feels good and doesn't smell. I've been loving it so much I got one for my husband.

I liked it

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.

Good product

I'm a long time user of The Ordinary Squaline and amino acid lip balm, for me personally it's the very best, the container is so cute, but the contents are packed with everything your lips need, last for hours not like normal lip balm, I apply or at night before sleep my lips are soft plump and hydrated always. The best of the best!
