Josie Maran Argan cleansing oil reaction

Queencreekmom — Sat, 15 Jul 2017 10:39:02 GMT

I just started using Josie Marans argan oil and cleanser, I'm noticing that my face feels sunburned and almost raw on my cheeks 's and forehead. Has anyone else had this reaction to the JM cleanser or oil? I'm wondering if I'm using the cleanser wrong. Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I have sensitive skin and use it without any issues every night. Try a couple pumps in your palm, add a few drops of water to thin it out and foam it a little. Then apply to your face. It's messy, so I do this in the shower and can add more splashes of water as needed. Another way is to add a few pumps to a wet washcloth, add just a little more water to where the pumps are on the cloth so it's nice and wet and then cleanse your face that way. Good luck! I hope it works. This is a product I have purchased repeatedly for a few yrs now and love it.

Added: I don't use it full strength, it's too thick and gives me a warm sensation - but adding a few drops of water works for me.

I use both Josie's cleansing oil and argon oil and have not had any type of reaction to it but it sounds like you might.

The only thing that I have found using the cleansing oil is that I have to make sure I use enough (I think a couple pumps) otherwise it kind of drags on my skin since it is thick. I always shake it before each use too. I use it on dry skin and then add water to it.

I use it on a wet face cloth. Do you have any issues with just the argan oil? You may have an allergy to the product. Be careful.

That cleanser has several different oils in it. You might be allergic to one or more of them.

The ingredients are listed on Sephora.

Thank so much for all the great replies, I'm going to try using it a few different ways. It definitely takes some getting used too. I may have used to much and massaged it on my face a little longer than I should have.

I have a few patches on my face that feel like I over exfoliated...so weird. I'm only using the Argon oil for a few days until my face heals.

I'll try doing that! I really want to be able to use the products, argon oil is so amazing for our skin. I need the hydration ! lol

Hi @Queencreekmom I would not use it at all, even by diluting it. Apparently, if your skin feels raw, you have a bad reaction to that product. That has happend to me with a few products I tryed in the past.

I have used Josie's Argan cleansing oil & did not care for it. I found it to be too thick to spread on dry skin to get off makeup. I did give it to someone who loves it.

I do use her Argan oil & Body Butter & love it. Hopefully you can return it & if not try diluting it as the other ladies have suggested & see if that helps. Good Luck

I agree, I stopped using the cleanser for now and I'm just using the Argon oil until my face heals and then I'll try it again. My skin has never been so sensitive but I've noticed it's changed a bit in the past few years. So, I may have over done it a bit by using it full strength, it's really thick and almost concentrated. I'm really hoping I can use it! Thanks for the help

@Queencreekmom, As much as I like Josie Maran's products please don't get locked in on forcing the cleansing oil on your skin. If you are interested in an oil formula cleanser they are pretty hot right now and many brands have a version of one. One of the best oil based cleansers I've ever used is DHC's Deep Cleansing OIl (an olive oil cleanser). The ingredients are as copied from the DHC website: olea europaea (olive) fruit oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, sorbeth-30 tetraoleate, pentylene glycol, phenoxyethanol, tocopherol, stearyl glycyrrhetinate, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf oil.

I've never had trouble with any of Josie's products. In fact I'm a big fan. But I agree with those who say don't push it if you are having a bad reaction.

Yes, I have. Hers is one of the worst cleansing oil I've tried. I thought it was awful and yes, it did cause me irritation. And don't get me started on that weird taste it leave in your mouth even though I don't have my mouth open when I wash my face! That is the weirdest thing ever and something I've never had happen with any of the other cleansing oils I've tried.

I just got this in a small kit at Sephora yesterday and used it for the very first time last night and I loved it. The smell was almost citrus smelling and my skin felt so soft afterward. Just my experience with this and like I said I have only used it 1 time so far. Also got the sugar scrub and that is very nice as well.

Off topic but doesn anyone know her TSV for August?

I've tried JM Cleansing Oil and didn't like it at all. Her Argan Milk made my face feel irritated too, which I thought was weird. I wasn't thrilled with DHC cleansing oil either. I found Dr. Young Camellia Deep Cleansing Oil a few years ago and have been very happy with it - have reordered and recommended many times. While not an exact dupe, I feel it's pretty close to the Tatcha cleanser but more affordable.

YES! It actually made my face feel like it was burning so I tried washing it off but it still felt irritated for awhile after I washed it off. I can't figure out what is in it that would do that but it was a terrible product for me.

@Queencreekmom, I would stop using it on your face. Test it out one at a time on the back of your wrist or arm to see if you have a reaction.

@Queencreekmom

Hello.. I am an oil cleaning affainicado lol and tried sooo many by age 60 tried quite a bit! I think this one was the top WORST oil I've ever tried and commented on this a long time ago as someone had problems with it as well. It left a thick residue gave me a pimply reaction which resolved rather fast, itched and smelled rancid. It was like soybean oil or something you'd cook with kind of stale when you throw out older oil. It was bitter when washing as the moxture gets in ones mouth/lips and I didnt care for that thinking wow soo bitter what is in this? the residue on skin ANd the bottle itslef was gross. It was liek glue on teh bottle. I think this oil is of a very poor quailty....we are not a lone. I think it has to be the worst items she has and I enjoy a few

Not to the cleanser oil but that happened to me with the argan milk. Made my face red and sting, I see others have had the same problem. I have used the plain argan oil on my face with no problems and like it.

There are so many cleansers on the market, I would find one that you don't have to struggle to use without pain or irritation...

I tried using JM Argan Cleansing Oil and Argan Oil again after my face healed from the first time I used it. I took some of the suggestions you all had but it made my face feel sunburnt and I had some rough flaky patches again on my forehead, cheeks and nose. It's been a little over a week and I still have the dry patches, I'm only using cetaphil cleanser and a moisturizer. I've never had sensitive skin at all, so I have to assume there's something in the cleansing oil that I'm allergic too. I'm going to try just the Argan Oil again on a small area of my face, I've done a ton of reviews and haven't really found anyone that wasn't able to use Argan Oil. I really need some hydration! 😀
