I used Argan Oil for awhile and then another oil and now I'm using Squalane Oil as my last step to lock in everything I put on before the oil.  What is the difference between Argan Milk and Argan Oil?

I tried TO squalane oil that everyone seems to love but for me, it just sat on my skin for hours, it never absorbed.  I was disappointed.

Argan milk means it's been emulsified.  They take the argan oil and mix it with other ingredients using high speed equipment.  It's important to see if the other ingredients are also beneficial to your skin or if you'd be better off using the pure oil.

Argon face milk has a richer texture than the oil.  I find that the milk absorbs faster and allows me to use less moisturizer over it. Love it on my eyelids, too -- they feel supple and look less crepey. (JM makes a milk formulation for the eyes, but I prefer the regular milk.)  Be sure to press the milk gently into the skin, instead of just spreading it over the skin.

I have Josie's Milk and pure oil.  I prefer the oil and religiously use it at night.  Even when I use a sleep mask I always add some argan oil to my face and neck.  I like the milk, but it seems to work best on my skin as a serum under makeup.

Thanks, that's what I thought but wondered if emulsifying it made it work better/different.

Sorry the squalane didn't work for you.  I think it kicked my complexion up a notch.  I use so many products at night tho so it's hard to tell.   The last two things I added before I noticed the latest difference was the squalane and Dr.Ceuracle Kombucha Green Tea Essence.  James Welsh talked me into the Kombucha tea and the Drs on "Doctorly"  and Dr Shreene Idriss talked about the benefits of squalane.

I don't think emulsifying chemically changes the oil but you'd be getting less of the oil because of the addition of the other ingredients.  Also emulsiyfing  the oil with other ingredients may make it absorb faster.so it might be better used as a moisturizer or serum vs. an oil.

I hope that makes sense. @monicakm
