Love!!
-05.21.13
I have very sensitive and dry skin. This product sinks in quickly and does not leave a greasy residue. The fragrance smells very faintly of sun tan lotion, which I love. My skin feels like velvet and my makeup glides on smoothly. I love the natural ingredients. Highly recommend!

Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily, natural
This product goes on so smooth and smells great. Some how it does not make my face white, but provides superior protection. My skin feels like satin and I like that my baby can kiss my face without worrying about what is in this product.

Absorbs Quickly
-05.17.13
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily
Love this product! I'm a huge Josie Maran fan and I just love that this product has both the SPF and moisturizer in one. But I especially love that it absorbs quickly into my skin without a white film over my face and it doesn't leave my face feeling sticky. It's a keeper!

Love it. Hate when it has left me. Protects me. Looks after me. Helps me avoid the unsightly view of a needle. Need I say more?

Quick Take: breaks skin out
I really wanted to like this product. I truly did. I was so sad and disappointed leading up to the cashier's desk to return this item. I have very sensitive, combination skin that has been under control for a few months, and when I put this on, my skin was less than pleased. I got breakouts like I've had in my teen years. I'm sorry, but that won't do.

Great!
-05.13.13
Quick Take: blends in easily, natural
I really like this sunscreen and wear it everyday. It doesn't leave a white film like other sunscreens. It's light enough to wear under makeup. It leaves a bit of shine behind, but I just dust on a little translucent powder. The only complaint I have is that it stings my eyes when I wear it in the water. I have yet to find any sunscreen that doesn't sting!

Great Natural Sunscreen
-05.12.13
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily, natural
My dermatologist recommended I use a facial sunscreen that is 30SPF or better; I was attracted to this one because it is chemical free. It has a slight sweet, sunscreen smell, which is why I gave it 4 stars, but it is nongreasy and absorbs quickly. I apply it over my moisturizer & under my makeup. I like the fact that it blocks UVA & UVB rays. I recommend it!

SPF 40
-05.11.13
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily, natural, a little goes a long way
No one comes close to the pertection Josie offers for SPF. Light weight, non greasy, 2 drops covers face and neck. We own a boat and I apply before we go out on the water. I've never come back with sunburn. A+ to Josie...you will not be disappointed!

Argan Daily Moisturizer
-05.11.13
Quick Take: blends in easily, natural, great value
I bought the small size of this product because I wanted to try it but wasn't too sure it would be good for me. I'm pleasantly surprised! The SPF 40 is great for the sunny months approaching and Josie Maran's commitment to chemical-free products is refreshing, especially when it comes to what I'm putting on my face. The scent is very nice and unobtrusive, it blends in well, and a little goes a long way. I don't need to use a full pump to get great coverage. My face does feel a bit tacky for a while after, but after an hour it's back to normal.

Great summer moisturizer
-05.10.13
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily, natural
I'm obsessed with this stuff for summer! Despite the oil content, it does not leave your face shiny, and the SPF is a necessary bonus. I also suffer from eczema and have had no issues using this product. I'm on my 3rd refill of this stuff, so I should know my now! I knocked off one star because it's not quite heavy enough for my dry winter skin; though adding the argan oil itself to drier areas definitely helps.

Just started using it a couple of weeks ago, but I liked it from the first time I used it. Leaves your skin feeling very smooth and creamy without any sticky residue. I would plan on buying again!

My finicky skin actually doesn't break out!!
-05.08.13
Quick Take: natural
I love this product. I was sure it would cause me to breakout, but since I started using face oils successfully, I thought I would give this sunscreen a try. It smells great, two pumps is great to cover face and neck, and I have no trouble putting on makeup over it. Love the natural aspects. Argan/facial oils has given life back to my skin.

I like the idea of "chemical-free, SPF 40+"
-05.07.13
I have normal skin. I thought the idea of using Argan Oil as facial moisturizer was a good idea! I wanted my face to have that dewy look.
So I received my "Bestselling Argan Skincare Ritual", the set contained:
- 1.9 oz Argan Cleansing Oil
- 0.5 oz 100% Pure Argan Oil
- 0.5 oz Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 40
I used the "100% Pure Argan Oil" after I took shower and cleaned my face, just before I went to bed. Within 2-3 hours, whiteheads appear around my nose and between my eyebrows.
THE NEXT MORNING, my face was completely broke out!
Then before I went to work, I applied this "Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 40", friends said my face looked glowing! But then I broke out even more :( So, I stopped and returned it immediately but it's been 2 weeks, my face is still breaking out :(
