Love this!

This is one of the best cleansers I've ever used. You don't need much, and when you rub your hands together and apply to your face, it creates a warm feeling. This is also good for getting off eye makeup. Josie Maran does not disappoint!

I have very sensitive and dry skin. This product does not irritate and leaves my skin clean but moisturized. It does not leave a greasy residue. There is a very light citrus scent which also does not offend my sensitive nose. This product has great ingredients for my skin. Highly recommend!

Quick Take: milky, moisturizing
this is different from any other cleanser out there - but it's good! it doesn't lather, it doesn't foam, it just cleans and moisturizes. I have rosacea, and the acne portion of this has calmed down so much in the few weeks I've been using it. After using it, my face feels clean and moisturized. I use this every night before bed, and then use First Aid Beauty cleanser in the shower in the mornings to prep my face for the day.
It does taste nasty if you get it on your mouth, though!

Excellent Product
-05.18.13
I used to get horrible breakouts and was the Queen of Benzoyl Peroxide. I really wanted to find a product that would help me ween myself off acne treatments. I had started using the Clinique 3 step system, and was not too impressed. I decided to buy this after receiving a sample in an order. I am SO glad I did!
I have been completely "acne treatment" free since I began using this! My face looks and feels fresh, even, hydrated (anyone who uses acne treatments knows how drying they can be), and just amazing! I feel so confident in my skin now that I am not constantly covering up blemishes. My makeup goes on smoother, but I hardly need to use any anymore because my skin looks so flawless!
The bottle says use 3-4 pumps, however, that seems like a lot. Two pumps gives me enough product to cleanse my entire face, and I end up rinsing a fair amount off my hands.

Best cleansing oil
-05.13.13
I have tried three different kinds of cleansing oil and this is by far the best,I love the smell,the texture,instead of forming a film on your face this one actually deep cleans,I wear long lasting make up everyday but I never have black heads because of this product.A bottle will last a long time,the only thing I don't like (which is not a huge problem) is that it leaves a bitter taste on your lips,so don't lick it before you rinse it off.I am on my second bottle and I will definitely buy again .

This wash is weird at first, but once you figure it out it does amazing things for your skin. I like to wet my hands a bit before application. My skin stopped breaking out, which i thought was crazy since i have super oily skin!

Too thick
-05.12.13
I received a sample of this and found it way thick, thicker than any other oil cleanser I've used. I usually double wash (oil cleanser to remove makeup, then regular cleanser) and have tried a few different oil cleansers and somehow this was the worst. It didn't remove my mascara and I could barely move it around on my face without using at least twice as much of it as I normally do my other oil cleansers. It did smell nice though, and my skin felt soft after using it, but I think that's because it basically didn't do anything.

Effective product, but lacks lather
-05.07.13
Love the smell of this, as well as its moisturizing power. My only complaint would be that it is difficult to get a lather.

Doesn't dry my skin after a wash
-05.07.13
Quick Take: moisturizing
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 tried this immediately before I applied "100% Pure Argan Oil" on my face. It felt wonderful and I liked it! Unlike the regular facial wash, this "Argan Cleansing Oil" doesn't dry my skin.

Very happy...
-05.04.13
I did have MINOR breakouts after initial use but I understand that so long as they don't repeat, it's a good sign of a good cleanser moving things to the surface. I'm really happy with the way my skin looks and although it is lacking color from the sun as of yet, I have a sneaky suspicion this might be a summer a may be happy to go sans makeup!!!

Nice Oil Cleanser
-05.04.13
I have combination skin and never thought to use an oil cleanser but this is a great cleanser and gets off all my makeup especially long wearing makeup. I recommend this for anyone who is looking for a gentle yet highly effective cleanser. This did not cause breakouts, which I was prone to but since using this I have hardly broken out...weird!!! I use this at night and use a Clarins cream cleanser in the am or foaming cleanser with my clarisonic.

Quick Take: milky
I am such a fan of this oil. I was incredibly skeptical of using oil on my skin for cleansing: I have quirky skin: one day it's incredibly sensitive and dry, breaking out with hives, and the next day it can be somewhat oily with breakouts and slick spots. This oil has really helped my skin to calm down and I have seen noticeable improvements. My skin looks dewy now and feels very soft. I haven't had the issue with hives since using this product, and I recommend it to everyone.
One word of caution: make certain you read the directions and follow them to a "T". This does not work like a typical cleanser: you apply it on dry skin, then wet your fingertips and slowly massage the product into the skin. It will become a whitish color, resembling a soap residue. As you massage this in, makeup and impurities are removed. You then rinse the face with lukewarm water and are left with clean, soft skin. Follow up with the argan oil and you will feel great.
