I read the link! I use argan oil as it's great for dry skin during winter when my skin feels drier, but that's about it. It's a great moisturiser. It's not a miracle oil and I've never experience any of the claims they made.

Aww many thanks fongflyer5. Im not too clued up on skincare and looking at getting a proper skincare routine together. Finding it all very hard going and not know which way to go. So far i h ave ordered Retin A 0.25 and 0.5 % which i will use pm though will start off every few nights to see how i get on. Ive been reading about Copper peps amongst other things but its all confusing.
Thank you once again

I use Argan oil (pure Argan oil, not a cream with Argan as an ingredient) under my moisturiser in the morning, and on its own at night.
I have quite dry skin, and it's very good for that.
I also use it on my hair.

Argan oil is a good moisturizer for dry skin and its packed with natural vitamin e- a good oil to have in your cabinet. I like squalane and macadamia too.

Argan oil has numerous benefits for skin and hair. Just do a simple search on google and you'll get loads of info. You should also search up the Josie Maran argan oil on Sephora for reviews, just don't buy hers (it's quite expensive) - you can get them anywhere as long as its unrefined and cold-pressed

Argan oil contains a number of different vitamins and beneficial ingredients. It is currently one of the best skincare oils available and being put in different products all the time from skincare to haircare. You can purchase Argan oil in it's pure form from allot of different online shops including eBay (which is where I bought mine from).

Argan looks like Avocado, is the smell of argan oil good?

A friend of mine uses pure, organic argan oil on her face and claims that it's made her skin smoother than anything else she's tried. She said she used have terrible acne and oily skin (she's in her late 40s now) but the argan oil didn't make it worse, but seemed to make it go away.

She has fabulous, young-looking skin. I'm not sure if it's a result of Botox or the argan oil though.

I recently started using it on my hair before drying it and it feels really light and absorbs quickly into my hands, not at all how I expected it to. I'm considering using it on my face, which is dry from Epiduo (acne med).

No, it doesn't cause acne. I've started using the stuff I use for my hair on my face and it really absorbs and doesn't make my skin oily at all.

My friend says she used to have a "pizza face" but doesn't any longer.

Hi,

Argan oil has really improved my skin. I use it combined with cactus seed oil. Going natural do an intensive one which is excellent. My friends kept telling me how good my skin was looking and have also started using it. At £45 for 125ml it's a good price. I have been told they are getting some other products soon. Look up arcs oil.
It is amazing how young the women in morocco look. They also eat argan oil, everyday!

thanks for sharing. actually i am also concerned if the oil causes acne, as my face is very oily and easy to have acne.

I had a bad experience with argon oil... I have very dry skin and argon oil only made it worse, drying and making my skin flake. I did some more research and found out that its a matifying oil. So i'd think it would be best for people with oily to combination skin types.

Have u tried marula oil. It is labelled as 'miracle oil'. it has more going for it than Argan oil which is labelled 'liquid gold'. anyone used both? want to know more about these two oils.

I also have dry skin. Argan oil does not moisturize or act as a good barrier protector for me. Tried Melvita and Josie Maran brands. Rosehip oil is much better for dry skin.
