PRICE AND AUTHENTICITY ISSUES: As of this writing, there are 3rd party sellers who list this product at 17 w/ Prime shipping. I chose to order it from Amazon, at 27.50. I'm not saying all 3rd party sellers here are scammers, but this price discrepancy really concerned me as PTR is a top brand, one that you will not find in drug stores, and the list price on the PTR website and on Nordstrom's website is 38 (all prices listed here are from Oct 2016). There are several reviewers who've stated that they've experienced a rubber tire smell and I suspect they purchased through a 3rd party seller. I would err on the side of caution and purchase from Amazon.
On to the actual review: This is just amazing! I've been moving away from body care products that include ingredients I can't pronounce and lab created chemicals/preservatives. I've tried the oil cleansing method with a couple of different oils and using facial oil (from Badger) as a moisturizer. It was working great for a while but then I started to break out and had no idea why. Once I started using this PTR squalane, it was like a revelation! It goes on smooth, absorbs quickly, and zero breakouts. It's not a traditional oil. The best way I can try to describe it is that it's like a component of an oil. During the warmer/more humid months, this is all I'll use, once in the morning and once at night, 3-4 drops each time. But in dryer/colder climate, you might need an additional moisturizer. I recommend Shea Olein, which I dab a very, very small amount on my cheeks and rub in gently (I have an oily T zone so only my cheeks need a little extra in dry climate). So far, no break outs, and my skin is smooth and plump--no need for toners or exfoliants even!
(Quick unpaid/unaffiliated plug for my new facial cleansing routine: I ditched the oil cleansing method and switched to using Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve's complexion soaps, some of them are listed on Amazon I think. I actually heard about squalane from them--they have a whipped squalane eye/face cream, but unfortunately, I reacted to the lavender essential oil that's in there, thus the PTR 100% squalane. Again, no affiliation with them, just a fan).

From the manufacturer
Oilless Oil 100% Purified Squalane
Oil-like, but not an oil, this luxurious, silky skin-softening moisturizer helps improve the look of fine lines, wrinkles, elasticity and radiance. Lightweight, odorless Squalane mimics the naturally occurring Squalene found in the body’s own lipid barrier. Rapidly absorbs into skin’s surface and does not create a surface barrier like an oil, allowing skin to breathe. Moisturizes and helps prevent water loss. Skin is left looking silky smooth and luxurious to the touch without an oily or greasy after-feel. Derived from farmed naturally-sourced sustainable Sugarcane (not from sharks or olives). Preservative-free.
Key Ingredient
Squalane
Lightweight, naturally derived emollient that helps provide hydration and lock in moisture.

Lightweight and keep my skin soft
I bought this product after buying another brand's facemask which uses this ingredient. I use just one drop and mix it with my moisturizer on my face.Since the pandemic, I've been washing my hand like crazy and it gets super dried out. I started to use 2 drops for my hands and it kept my hands soft and moisture.
