Review 1 for Argan Balm
Argan EVERYTHING Balm
-05.09.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive, fragrance free
I love this product. You can literally use it for anything and everything. I first bought it to use on my dry hands in the winter. At first it seemed greasy, but it absorbed FAST. I have also used it on my feet, and as a general moisturizer. It's awesome and natural. To be honest, I have even used it on my dog for his dry elbows and dry spots. Works GREAT on him too.

Review 2 for Argan Balm
Moisturizing!!
-04.26.13
Quick Take: intensive
I have acne prone skin, which also tends to flake because my skin is so dry. I decided to try this product because I wanted something more natural, that wouldn't cause my skin to flare up. I have been using this balm for almost a month now, and I am really happy with it. The price seemed a stretch at first, but when I got the container I did not regret the purchase. Using it twice daily for my entire face, the amount of product has only gone down about a third of an inch. It's going to last me a long time! The product itself took a little getting used to. The trick is to let it heat up on your hands first, so it is a smoother consistency. Then I pat it on my face and wait for it to soak in, about 10-20 minutes. Then I just pat it down with some blotting paper, and I'm good to go. With this stuff on I don't have to worry about flaking in the middle of the day. Since I'm trying to avoid face makeup as much as possible, I can't vouch for how well it works under a foundation, but I have worn gel blush with this, and it stays on just fine. It also works great on lips, cuticles, and the bottoms of my feet. I highly recommend this argan balm

Review 3 for Argan Balm
Argan on the Go
-04.26.13
Quick Take: absorbs quickly, intensive
This is a great way to have your argan oil on the go. This has so many uses. I found it is great for my lips--never dries them out or flakey. Perfect to protect and heal cuticles. I even use it on my baby's bottom. It can feel slightly gritty at first, but it smooths right onto skin and really heals dryness.

Review 4 for Argan Balm
Review 5 for Argan Balm
Loving It!
-04.05.13
Quick Take: moisturizing, non-greasy, all-in-one
I love this as a face and hand moisturizer! I have combination skin and get breakouts on my chin, so I use this to fix the dryness on my forehead, cheeks, and around my nose. I've used lots of products and NEVER use a body moisturizer on my face, but this stuff is different. I work in a lab so wear gloves that dry my hands in addition to having to wash my hands a lot every day. To top it off, I live in the desert, so my skin is always parched. I hate most lip treatments because they make my lips peel. This stuff is great all over; a little scary at first because it feels greasy at first but absorbs quickly and makes your skin & lips amazingly soft. Seems pricey, but it replaces hand cream, lip treatment, and face moisturizer so it's actually a great all-in-one.

Review 6 for Argan Balm
Bionicaknee
Finally!
-04.05.13
This product is the best thing for my super chapped lips I have ever found! I have seriously used everything out there from drugstore to super high end, but nothing has ever made my lips feel this soft and mouistrized. I also love that it softens the rough skin on my feet and elbows. One of the best products I have ever used. Will never be without it.

Review 7 for Argan Balm
Fantastic
-03.17.13
I have lots of allergies and I hate lotion, so I thought I would try this for everyday moisture. I am very pleased with the results! It's very luxurious and has no scent. Now that my skin has healed from lack of moisture, I alternate this with the plain argan oil from the same line. I always do this after a shower/bath because it can be hard to spread around, but once you get the hang of it, you don't even notice. A keeper for sure!

Review 8 for Argan Balm
Awesome Product!
-03.14.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive
I've been using the "Argan Balm" by Josie Maran for apprximately 2 weeks now. I use it mainly on my face at night before bed time. I find it MUCH easier to use than the oil (which I find difficult to use because it is a liquid). I heat a nickel size amount in my hands, and then apply to my face. I was pleasantly surprised how quicly this oil absorbed into my skin, and how well it worked! I was so nervous to apply an oil to my face, but I am completely converted- I will NEVER go back to my old moisturizer again!
In the morning when I wake up, my skin looks great, not oily at all, and it is still moisturized... where as with my old moisturizer, I would wake up and my skin felt dry again.

Review 9 for Argan Balm
LOVE LOVE LOVE
-03.12.13
Quick Take: great
This is a great product. I am very happy with the balm. I use it as soon as I get out of the shower because my pores are still open, and this helps the balm to get into the skin.

Results after only one use!
-03.04.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive
I have dry skin around my nails and cuticles. I put it on before bed and noticed results in the morning! Works great for lips also. Its a little greasy so it's best used before bed.

Review 11 for Argan Balm
HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT!
-03.03.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive, hydrating, multi-use, bad odor, high quality, amazing, a little goes a long way, easy to use
I love this product its very moisturizing, I had dry patches on my chin and around my nose and this product has taken them away, my skin in those areas is now soft and smooth, the redness was even reduced! I love using this product under my eyes, on my elbows, in my hair and on my feet. When my son gets a diaper rash I plan on trying out this product on him because I'm sure it will work great. I did try this on my lips and it worked ok but I had such dry lips so it didn't fully hydrate them but it did help. The one con about this product is it has a bad odor! :/ Kind of like play dough....

Review 12 for Argan Balm
Love it for my FACE!
-02.22.13
Quick Take: intensive, smoothing, heals skin, moisturizing, reduces scars
It probably seems crazy to put this ALL OVER your face, but seriously- try it! My skin is soooo breakout prone, and clogs super easily, but this balm doesnt clog my pores whatsoever!
When im done washing my face at night i apply this very liberally all over my face and eyes and go to bed.
When i wake up my skin is perfectly moisturized, and super soft! I have really bad acne scars / hyperpigmentation and i was really surprised to see this balm lessening them a LOT. I've only been using it a week and my face tone is SO much more even. I'm not using anything else for it either, so i know its the balm.
Im seriously in love!!! It makes my face look amazing!!! Try it!!!
I only use it at night, though-- would be way too heavy for daytime use.

Review 13 for Argan Balm
Amazing Product!
-02.14.13
Quick Take: intensive, soothing
I love Josie Maran products, but this one takes the cake. It's perfect for use just about anywhere. I bought one and my boyfriend started using it so much that I had to buy a new one for myself. It calms any rough or dry areas immediately without an overwhelming scent or a greasy residue...and you only need a dab! It is now on my "must-have" list for when I travel.

Review 14 for Argan Balm
Obsessed!
-02.05.13
Quick Take: lightweight, intensive
I bought this mainly to use for my feet which I cannot seem to keep soft in the winter...or ever actually. But then I started using it on my lips, elbows, knees, hands, etc and everything feels so much softer! I have severely dry lips and this is the only product that's ever made some lasting change. I think it will last a long time too. You don't need much. Definitely recommend!

Anonymous
Best purchase ever.
-01.27.13
I was a little skeptical when the label said use basically for anything. I have very dry elbows, this has fixed that problem. Also i massage it into my cuticles to keep them moisturized. When I forgot my lip balm I used this as well it has softened my lips as well. It is well worth the price. I have already recommended this Balm to three other people.

Review 17 for Argan Balm
Better than the Moisturizing Stick
-01.27.13
I thought this was going to be the same as the Argan moisturizing stick in a pan-form, but this balm is much much better.
- Absorbs quickly into the skin, w/o leaving an oily residue
- Keeps hands moisturized after several hand washes.

I ditched my under eye cream and use this now! Oh my GOSH! What a difference! I use this on my lips and other dry places as well (love the fact that this can pretty much be used anywhere you want it).

Review 19 for Argan Balm
Suthenbelle
Excellent for super sensitive skin
-01.20.13
My skin is so sensitive that my friends joke that I should be in a bubble. Yet this creamy balm is a rare gem that doesn't break me out. It soaks into your skin like water into a sponge. The texture of my skin has changed to that supple elementary school girl skin. My sensitive skin appreciates the unscented oil. My skin is clear. I use this from head to toe. Straight out of the shower still damp. Ummm. Love my skin. Touchable!

Review 20 for Argan Balm
Love this on my cutticles and lips!
-01.20.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive, great all-in-one product, very moisturizing
This argon balm is truly the best all-in-one beauty product. It’s great on my dry winter elbows and knees but it’s even better as a lip balm/cuticle moisturizer. I literally layer this stuff over my cuticles before I cut them and it does a great job softening, moisturizing and protecting the area from nicks and cuts. It’s a bit pricey, though for now I’ve been lucky to get this at a great value with my other Josie Marie favorites such as the oil cleaner, pure organ oil drops and the apricot whipped butter. I also like the portability of this balm when I get it in a set. Though I have to say if in the future there are no sets available I wouldn’t hesitate to repurchase this full size version.
