I love this oil. Although it is an oil, it is not oily on the skin. It absorbs quickly and leaves your skin very soft. I have very oily, acne-prone skin. This oil does not make my skin breakout.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this stuff! March 12, 2011

By KNS

I was skeptical about using an oil on my break-out prone skin, but I trusted the positive reviews and I'm so glad I did! I've been using it about two weeks and my skin is softer, smoother, and has a healthy glow even without makeup. I've used it a couple times on my hands/cuticles and this stuff just seems to soften everything it touches! This will be a long term staple, I can already tell..

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a replacement for a daily moisturizer!! January 29, 2013

By Jenna B.

Let me start out by saying that I am 26 have struggled with breakouts for the last 4 years or so. I have been on a dermatologist's regimen for about a year and a half and just recently have I started to stray from that. I do get dry skin - especially in the winter - and I'm also trying to incorporate products that fade old marks and improve the texture of my skin. I got a sample of this product about 2 weeks ago and have been using it at night, only. I will NOT put an oil on my face during the day and risk clogging my pores between the oil and makeup. I've used it on a clean face, at night. It has done a reasonable job of keeping my skin less dry, and really helped (when nothing else did) for some really dry/itchy skin on my neck, which was a huge bonus.

Now I don't use it every night. I gradually introduce new products into my daily regimen. If you slap a bunch of oil on your face twice a day in place of a non-comedogenic moisturizer and are wondering why you are breaking out, well that's on you. Moisturizing lotions/creams are formulated to absorb differently than an oil and sometimes your skin needs that! I wouldn't go replacing your moisturizer with this...I might use it in combination with it, first testing the oil out at night on a clean face.

Is it a cure-all that will give you flawless skin? No. But it will add moisture without harsh chemicals and in time, I will know better if it helps with lines/marks as it claims to do, but I figured either way its beneficial because it allows me to moisturize once a day without chemicals. I was skeptical about using oil since I've always used oil-free products, but it hasn't caused me to break out at all, yet. I'll update this post if that changes.

**UPDATE** I've now been using this oil for close to a month.... I have not had a single breakout (not even one pimple) since I began using it. I'm actually pretty shocked because I almost always break out a little at least one week every month (even if its just one or two pimples). I don't know if it is the Argan Oil because I've also started using a gentle cleanser (CeraVe...over the counter) once a day in place of my sulfur-based dermatologist wash (which I still use once a day) but my skin hasn't been this clear since I was in 8th grade. I still only use it at night (ALWAYS on a clean face) and I use an unscented, gentle moisturizer (also CeraVe) in the morning but I'm really enjoying how soft my skin is when I usually struggle with dry, flaky facial skin in the winter, as well as acne. I'll update again in a month or two with any changes. Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing February 13, 2011

By Crabigail Cassidy TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

I can't say enough about is product. It is the best moisturizer I've ever used. It does wonders on scars, dry skin, wrinkles, cuticles, hands, feet, and even my chronic excema. It works great on hair, too.
The negative (and only negative) is the cost for the 1.7 oz dropper bottle. This is 100% pure argan oil which is imported from Morocco. Morocco is the only place on the planet where the argan tree grows so the stuff is pretty pricey to begin with. However, I have ordered this from Amazon before under a different brand name/manufacturer in the same amount for half the price and the results have been exactly the same ------ superlative. My advice is to shop around for the best deal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it July 8, 2011

By christie

Got the small bottle at Sephora and LOVE it. I use a prescription Retin-A at night and live in a dry climate and this is the perfect moisturizer. I use it sparingly on my forehead, so as to not get shiny, but it does sink right in. What's left on your fingertips is great on your cuticles, split ends, and lips. I'm purchasing the big bottle next!

3.0 out of 5 stars TOO EXPENSIVE June 14, 2012

Much too expensive for the amount you receive. It's a good product but I found that WATTs Moroccan Gold oil does just as well on the hair, nails and skin. Much better price too.
