The Essentials Argan Oil - Organic Argan Oil for Hair & Skin, Pure Nourishing Moisture Treatment for Face & Body, Carrier Oil for Essential Oils, Vegan, Natural, Cold Pressed - 1 fl oz

I've used different brands of argan oil on and off for many years, and Acure argan oil is high quality so I always go back to it. It has a very light, nutty scent and is slightly pale yellow in color, almost clear. I've run into another brand whose argan oil was strongly scented and brown (yuck). Expiration (or freshness) is indicated on the bottle as six months after opening, but I've had the bottle for over a year and it's almost like-new in quality. I've kept it in a bathroom drawer always out of direct light and nozzle in the closed position when not in use. Argan oil is great for when my skin starts to feel drier than usual (cold weather) or skin barrier damage. I apply it over my regular moisturizer for its excellent vitamin E provision, but I have also applied it as my main moisturizer in the time my skin was not as dry. It helps my skin heal faster and keeps the moisture level up a little longer. It is not strong at sealing like petroleum or other waxes, but this is why I like argan oil. I have sensitive skin and am prone to clogged pores/acne, and argan oil does not aggravate them; my skin stays clear. I keep my products oil-free as much as possible aside from specific oils which I know are safe for my skin. Argan oil sits on top of my skin but it eventually does evaporate, so I might reapply it as needed. This is a great night oil for me. I suggest a good moisturizer under the argan oil if your skin is dry in order to maximally benefit from its properties. It still stays smooth under sunscreen and it doesn't pill. When there is no sun-damage risk, I might only have a layer of argan oil on my face for a sheen/gloss. It looks great, but most importantly, it enriches my skincare routine.

I've tried many expensive moisturizers, oils, and serums, and none compare to this product. I was initially worried that because it's an oil, my face might break out (as it does with olive or coconut oil--yes, I've tried everything!), but it's actually done the opposite. My skin's never been so clear or soft. I have combination skin, and thought it might leave the oilier spots too oily, but it's effectively saturated the dry and oilier spots evenly--making my whole face soft and blemish free. I was also worried by negative reviews I saw, so I wrote to Acure to see what they'd say in response to the most common issues I saw reviewers had: the cost (too cheap for what it is), bottling (clear bottle not an effective way to protect the product), manufacturing (is this pure oil, or does it go through a chemical process), and smell (doesn't smell nutty like Argan oil is supposed to). I got a response within an hour of writing to them. Here's what they said: "Our Argan Oil is 100% pure, unrefined and unprocessed. It is cold pressed by hand, first pressing of the nut and is sourced from a womens co-op in Morocco. This is important because when undergoing heat processing (commonly when processed by machinery) most of the precious essential fatty acids and vitamin E are lost. Argan Oil, much like other crops, such as wine and cheese, does vary depending on things such as seasonality and climate. And because of this, the aroma can vary greatly, from neutral to a very potent earthy or nutty aroma. While the aroma can vary, this does not change the potency or effectiveness of the oil in any way. It is also important to know that although our oils are housed in clear bottles so that you can enjoy the beautiful color of the oils, they are UV etched, meaning they are indeed protected from UV light, which can ultimately cause a breakdown of the essential fatty acids. Lastly, in regards to cost, one of our commitments as a company is to provide not only safe & effective products, but products that are affordable to the consumer. This means that we offer every product in our line under $30, and choose to pass any savings we receive to the consumer rather than ourselves. And thus, because we include argan oil in almost every single one of our formulations, we purchase the oil in such large quantities that we receive a significant discount, which in turn, is passed on to the consumer in the form of affordable pricing. I hope this answers your concerns regarding our Argan Oil. Please rest assured it is indeed 100% pure USDA certified organic Argan Oil, and is unrefined and unprocessed. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us."

This amazing product has worked wonders for my hair. After just a few uses, my hair feels so much softer, shinier, and healthier. The oil is lightweight and doesn’t leave my hair greasy, which I really appreciate. It helps with frizz and makes my hair look more manageable and smooth. I also noticed less breakage and more overall strength. Plus, it doesn’t have any sent which is great. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a nourishing and high-quality hair treatment. It’s definitely become a staple in my hair care routine!

This stuff is absolutely fantastic! I have very dry skin that tends to get extremely oily if I don't keep it well moisturized. I've tried a million products for moisturizing at night, and none of them lasted long enough to keep my face from drying out and, as a result, overcompensating with loads of oil by morning. This stuff changed all that. Just about four drops on my face at night after a very gentle cleanser, and my skin is fantastic 24 hours a day. My face doesn't get oily overnight, and my skin doesn't dry out during the day. I haven't had a pimple since I started using this stuff (I never got many anyway, but still), and my skin seems to be a little more even in terms of tone. I can't recommend this stuff highly enough! If you're looking for a really great, totally natural moisturizer to keep your skin balanced all day long (and help with blemishes and tone), order this product right now!

I used this product for a bit before writing this review so I feel like I can now leave one! So first, the smell, it does smell like sort of like manure/parmesan cheese (??!) as other reviewers have touched on which is odd. However it's not completely overpowering. Once I put it on my face and rub it in I honestly don't notice the smell anymore after that. I have dry problem skin and since I've been using this product it has truly cleared up. I am prone to breakouts and I've had no problems with this, which I was worried about since I have sensitive skin and it's an oil. In sum, I'm really happy with this product and I'd buy it again. Leaves my skin clear and soft.

Gutes Öl, nehme es für die Haare. Nur zuviel sollte man nicht nehmen

I absolutely swear by this product for my skin! I use the oil cleansing method and I use this oil to do it. Simply do two pumps of oil into the palm of your hand and then rub all over your face (yep, even a full face of makeup) and massage in really well, in to your eyelashes as well. Then get a warm flannel and rub gently off your face and voila! a clean face with no makeup residue (you can even test this with a makeup wipe). Super friendly for the skin, also promotes hair growth (my eyelashes and eyebrows have never been so full and shiny!) perfect for clearing acne as well as for oily skin types. I know it sounds strange putting oil on to an oily face but believe me it does absolute wonders. Also you're not putting any harsh chemicals on your face, win win! Gorgeous product, can't recommend enough!
