I'd like to use the Argan Oil in addition to my moisturizer. How should I layer it? Argan oil first, followed by moisturizer or vice-versa?

Well, the argan oil is OILY, but I do layer it at night in the winter. You can do it in the AM, IF you have LOTS of time to let it sink in.

I put on any serum I use first, then the argan oil, then in the winter, after the oil sinks in, I put Cera Ve PM on.

I like to use argan oil alone to give my skin a rest from products twice a week. I just use it after cleansing. Very soothing.

I just mix a few drops in moisturizer and apply. This works well for me and absorbs quickly.

That is exactly how I use it, as well...beanie

I also use just a drop or two in my Dr D spf 30 in the morning. Just mix it in the palm of my hand and spread. Makes the daycream spread easily and gives a luminous smooth finish.

Last night Josie said Argan oil is your moisturizer.

Re: Argan Oil Usage Guidance

If you use it as a separate layer with a moisturizer, it should go last. An oil seals moisture in, so using over your moisturizer seals that in.

I often mix it, instead. I mix it in with my body lotions, as well.
