Review 1 for Jumbo Argan Oil
It does what it says
-07.17.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive, not greasy or sticky
I've been using this since the middle of May and love, love, love the results. My combination, oily, acned, dry patched, sensitive skin is not so oily and acned anymore. Before using Argan oil, I was so afraid to use any oil on my skin. My skin now is so smooth looking and feeling, not greasy or sticky at all - just moisturized. You only need 2 to 3 drops for my skin type. I also have eczema in spots and it keeps it under control. I've researched that Argan oil is known to help keep oil under control, and good for acne and people with psoriasis and eczema.

Review 3 for Jumbo Argan Oil

Quick Take: multi-use, unscented
Can use this for so many things. Cuticles, hair, body. If you have sensitive skin this is a must have. No funky smell like other popular "hair" oils. No fillers just pure argan oil.

Liquid GOLD
-06.18.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive, liquid gold
Purchased this initially for my hair, but wow, this stuff has so many applications!
Hair: Everyone knows argan oil has spectacular moisturizing properties & helps with split ends. Don't waste your $ on other oils where argan is way down the ingredient list!
Face: As someone with naturally oily/blemish prone skin I was weary of using this on my face, but after reading some of the reviews I decided to give it a whirl. I put some on before bedtime and woke up with perfectly moisturized skin that was actually less oily throughout the day! This stuff soaks in pretty good, but it is still oil so I would recommend just putting some on before bed like I do. (For the daytime I use the Josie Maran Argan daily moisturizer +SPF 40 under my makeup)
Hands/Cuticles: No more gross flaky cuticles or uncomfortably dry hands! (You could easily use this stuff for knees,elbows, even heels too)

Review 6 for Jumbo Argan Oil
Best moisturizer ever
-06.11.12
Quick Take: odorless, awesome
I have consistently dry skin - it gets flaky and rough even in the summer, and in the winter I actually get scabs where my skin gets so dry. This oil is the only thing I've ever found that keeps my skin hydrated all the time, even in the middle of winter. This is amazing stuff.

Review 7 for Jumbo Argan Oil
Review 8 for Jumbo Argan Oil
Amazing, for EVERYTHING!!
-06.02.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive
I use this everywhere.
I originally bought it in the travel size because I needed more moisture in small patches. I had extremely oily skin through my 20's so I've always been "oil-phobic".
However, in my 30's, my skin turned much more combination, and I finally was convinced that all the drying products I used were making the oil production problem worse.
I used this occasionally on my face and was impressed-- it didn't make me break out and seemed to hydrate pretty well.
However, the real seller came when I decided to try it on my hands one night. I have a 18 month old and months of hyper-hand washing and baby wipes had left me with alligator hands.
When I awoke in the morning, my cuticles looked like I had just gotten a manicure. I use this on my hands several times a day now and they feel amazing.

Review 9 for Jumbo Argan Oil
PERFECT MOISTURIZER !
-05.31.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive, non irrating, soothing, no scent
I have fair, dry, very sensitive skin, and am in mid 50's. I have tried so many lotions/serums/creams for hydration of my face, and have had reactions to most. Argan Oil is the BEST all around moisturizer I have found! It has now become my one-stop-shopping-moisturizer for my entire body, replacing all others. You only need a small amount, and a little goes a very long way. I've tried many different brands of Agan Oil (Cheaper) & always return to Josie Moran. This may seem expensive initially, but if you are like me, and have sensitive skin, this actually saves you money in the long run, as you need so little of it. Use it on your nails, cuticles, face, neck, legs, arms, lips, eyelids, use it EVERYWHERE! I have experienced no stinging, buring, or any type of reactions whatsoever. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

Review 10 for Jumbo Argan Oil
Loving this!
-05.26.12
Quick Take: absorbs quickly
I got a sample of this afew weeks ago with a Sephora order. I've been using it every other night (alternating with my Renova), and my skin looks great! I even mix a little of it in with my BB cream and it makes my skin look pretty darn good :). Just ordered the jumbo bottle! Doesntmake my skin breakout, either and lately, with menopause, my skin has been completely out of whack. This calms it down. Dana Vigilante.

Good
-05.18.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
I use this at night on my skin as a moisterizer. I also use it on my cuticles. I don't love it for my hair as it doesn't seem to make a huge difference, but on my skin, it gives it a nice sheen.

Review 12 for Jumbo Argan Oil
ordinary
-05.01.12
Quick Take: but another oil
I dont get all the raves about this oil. I like that it is organic and that it is a pure oil (no chemicals or preservatives). But I agree with some of you that pure organic olive oil (for dry skin or hair) or jojoba oil (for blemish prone skin) would work just as well. I needed something to lessen the depth of my wrinkles, This product didnt do that.

My New Best Friend
-04.09.12
Quick Take: absorbs quickly, intensive
I bought this because I was afraid of not having any on hand when I run out of my smaller bottle of argan oil. This is one of the best items I have ever tried and bought. Just one ingredient and it beats out most moisturizers on the market. Not only has it helped with my sun damage and acne scars, it leaves my skin so supple in the morning. It made my once combination skin, more "normal" than it has been in the last 25+ years. It has also done wonders on other body parts that are usually a disaster from the Northeast winters.

Review 15 for Jumbo Argan Oil
Not a value for me
-04.08.12
I LOVE the this product, however I unfortunately had issues with this value size. The value is good but you get a different way to dispense the product than in the regular dropper. You get a pump which I found was not a good way to control the amount I wanted. Too much product came out each time. I also had product coming out the sides of the pump every time I used it. I had to return this and get the regular size product instead.

Review 16 for Jumbo Argan Oil
love
-04.05.12
Quick Take: intensive
this is my new addiction. i use it every night. i don't think it is absorbed as quickly as what the others say but i do give it time to settle on my face before i go to bed so that it is not just rubbed off on my pillow. i don't think it's very light either but it is very hydrating, doesn't have an offensive smell, and doesn't cause breakouts. this is really a gem and i don't think ill every go without it.

The Everything-but-the-Kitchen-Sink Moisturizer
-03.31.12
Quick Take: light-weight
I'm going to admit that I was scared by the price of this product at first, but I had been having trouble finding the right moisturizer for me that would moisturize my skin without having it feel too slick. I saw the reviews for this product and I thought I'd take a shot. It was one of the best decisions I ever made concerning beauty products! It is so light weight and my skin just soaked it up! I use 1-2 drops on my face depending on how dry my skin feels and about 2-3 drops on my body. That's all you need! I made the mistake of using the pump the first time I used it and my hair and skin and my hair looking too greasy and my skin was too slick for my taste. However, I tried using less and it works like a charm now! I use 1-2 drops on my hair after I wash it and my hair is so soft afterwards! In addition, I tend to get eczema flares on my hands in the winter and I always found that products like aquaphor were too dense and wouldn't do much for me. However, I tried this product on my hands and it took care of the discomfort and made my hands look so much better! Overall, this product does it's job very well, but if you're looking for a scented moisturizer, then this product isn't for you. It doesn't really have much of a smell, but it works wonders!

Review 18 for Jumbo Argan Oil
not greasy, feels great
-03.31.12
Quick Take: intensive, absorbs quickly
I use this on face, neck and arms. absorbs well does not feel greasy. I wake up hydrated not dried out. No breakouts. I am very prone to breakouts with products- NO problems here! I have some dermatitis on face and this helps so I don't have to use my steroid cream. LOVE IT!

Review 19 for Jumbo Argan Oil
Wanted to love it!
-03.29.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
This is nice. It is just not worth what i paid for it. I would use extra virgin olive oil and be just as happy. It is a nice light oil, does the same thing as EVOO, but does not seem to have anything different to it. I wanted to love this product, but just dont. I will keep it and not return it because there is nothing wrong with it, there is just nothing special about it.

Review 20 for Jumbo Argan Oil
I dunno
-03.28.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
I really love the idea of this product, and it feels good, but, oddly enough, the oil does not give me enough moisture. I have used EVOO for years to remove makeup, and have had no issues, but i hoped this natural product would be Magic as a moisturizer. It really isnt so much. It is a good product, but I have had several breakouts since using it. I wanted to give it a great review, but just can't. I can spend 12 dollars for a bottle of olive oil and am much happier. I will keep it because i have used half on my hair and body, but way overpriced.
