A Must Have
-05.21.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, multi-functional
This is a must have product, great for a facial moisturizer for ALL SKIN TYPES. I am prone to breakouts around my chin especially when trying new products, I ahve been using this for 5 weeks now it has helped clear old breakout scars while not raising new breakouts in the process...Also great for moisturizing cuticles too! Little goes a long way !

Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive
I've used other oils on my skin, almond, coconut, but this one is special. Absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling fresh. I use it before bed and in the morning my skin looks wonderful. It has significantly improved some sun damaged areas on my face. i will keep using it.

In Love
-05.20.13
I bought this product out of curiosity and desperation when I had read an article about face oils. My skin was so irritated and broken out but i decided to try it and I am extremely happy. It is oil and moisturizing but not greasy or tacky at all. Soaks right in. I live in FL and have oily skin and don't find that I am overly greasy or shiny. I love this product and I love what the brand stands for! Makes me feel good about spendin my money on good stuff for good stuff!

Holy grail status

This has quickly become my holy grail skincare item. When i suffer from dry patches this moisturizes it perfectly and when i have normal skin it isnt too oily. Totally worth the money. I feel like i cant live without it!!

I love how Josie Maran's argan oil is so lighweight that I can use as an everyday product. I moisturizes my skin so much better than my daily facial moisturizer, that I have decided to replace it for good.

Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive
I have normal to dry skin and this product hydrates my skin and balances it out. It gives my skin a dewy radiant look and actually has cleared up some blemishes I was getting from trying new skincare products. It seems like whenever I try any new skincare products my skin breaks out and then I always come back to this to help my skin become clear and balanced. I've realized simple is best for my skincare regimenen and this along with the Josie Maran Cream Oil is all I use on my skin. My skin loves it and so do I! I don't mind spending money on a product that actually works and this one delivers! I recently saw a friend who I hadn't seen in about 7 years, and she told me I hadn't aged and wanted to know my secret. I told her,"Argan oil!!"

Love this Product
-05.18.13
Quick Take: phenomenal
I have to be very careful with what I put on my face so I don't breakout. I'm over 40 and worried about the dreaded wrinkles. I reluctantly tried this product because it is "oil". I absolutely LOVE it. After I had been using it I seriously had several of my friends ask what I was doing different because the skin on my face looked great and younger. The Argan Oil was the only thing I had changed. I found I couldn't use it during the day because I got too oily by evening so I now use it every night.

Excellent Product!!
-05.17.13
I was recommended this product by a client I have and decided to give it a try for my dry winter skin. I was a little weary about putting oil on my face but this product is amazing! I mix it in with my lotion before my makeup and at bedtime after taking my makeup off. My skin looks so smooth and dewy and I've gotten so many compliments! Definitely worth the price and I will be purchasing the bigger one next time!

Bought this product to moisturizer my skin. It worked great at that but the biggest surprise was how it helped calm an allergic rash. Love the many uses of this oil!! Keep finding new benefits. Now that's a product worth sending money on.

This Changed My Hair
-05.16.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
This was my first time trying a hair serum and I love it. I have very thick, long hair and sometimes the ends can look damaged even after a trim. This serum helps me look finished and polished even though I use lots of styling tools (blow dryers, irons, etc.). Love this stuff.

Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive, okay for sensitive skin
I got a sample of this and have just purchased some more. I have a few patches of very dry skin on my face. I suspect it is dermatitis but it hasn't been diagnosed. This oil is very lightweight, absorbs quickly, and is one of the only products that immediately hydrates my dry spots. I've also used on it on my hair, I live in a very humid climate, and it keeps my curly hair smooth and shiny.

Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, a little goes a long way
Very lightweight moisture. I've seen a reduction in uneven skin tone since I started using this a week ago. I have sensitive acne prone skin and this did not make me break out. The key is to use a little bit. A little goes a looooong way.

I also developed an allergic reaction to the Argan
-05.15.13
I was using the Josie argan cleansing oil and loving it for about a month. I added the SPF Moisturizer to the regime and soon noticed something HORRIBLE happening to my skin after some major itching. My entire face was covered in a sort of raised surface (just like the raised surface areas on a globe!) and it looks like a reptile! Scaly flakey patches accompany the raised surface. I am trying to nurse my poor skin back to health. Too bad. I'm sticking with the NUDE OIL products, which I love and don't react to!! 2 stars because I support the natural aspect and her cause.

Worth trying!
-05.15.13
My face has always been the worst of both worlds when it comes to skin--it's really oily, but if I don't put lotion or anything on it then it gets super dried out and flakes (in addition to being oily... :/ ). Because of this, I'm always looking for a potent moisturizer but am nervous about getting anything that will contribute to my face being oily--so I resisted trying this for a long time, until I had the opportunity to get a sample and figured, well, what's the worst that could come from trying? This stuff is AMAZING. Hydrates my skin the way I need (I just ran out and the lotion I used to use feels completely inadequate now) and keeps it from getting dry, but doesn't feel oily or greasy. In fact, while I didn't have many zits before, my skin is clearer after using this product for a few weeks than it was before I started. My skin tone is also more even, and I'm inclined to credit the argan oil with minimizing the few fine lines I've started to notice as I get closer to 30... Everyone's different so you never know what you'll think until you try it for yourself, but I have definitely found my new must-have and am really glad I gave it a try!
