Josie Maran Argon Oil

I am always so tempted to try this but haven't bitten the bullet yet. Does it leave your skin greasy or oily looking. On your face has it caused any breakouts. My crepey skin could use some help all over. Does it help the wrinkles on your face look a little better.

There are so many oils to choose from. If this is your first time go for the light argan oil. You only use about 2 drops for your face and gently rub in. Yes, oils will diminish the look of wrinkles. I use Marula oil. When you first apply, your face will look dewy and that will fade. It's not greasy.

I prefer the original over the light but you can start with either. I broke out at first and stopped then went back and now my skin LOVES it. A couple of drops is all you need. I will not be without it again. I have tried a few different ones but prefer Josie Maran.

No it doesn't leave my skin greasy, it doesn't cause breakouts. It does help my skin texture.

Keep in mind also that it should not cause a breakout, since our skin naturally has and needs oil. I love Josie's Argan Oil and use the light formulation. It's wonderful! I also use it on my nails and it has helped in that area a lot too.

I have used the regular, light and even the balm on my face with no breakouts and believe me my face will freak out if it doesn't like something. I will actually put it on a blemish so it doesn't leave a mark on my face. The balm is good under the eyes.

It doesn't make my skin breakout. It can make my skin look oily or sit on top of my skin if I use too much, but it's hard to apply and feel like I got it everywhere if I don't use too much. My solution has been to apply it when my face is still a bit damp, which allows me to apply less product more evenly.

If you're worried about it being heavy, try buying a small bottle and using it only at night to see what you think and then you can start using it during the day if you're happy with it. It's great at night and then I really don't have to worry about it feeling heavy.

If you really decide you don't like it for your face, it's still not a waste. I add a few drops to any body lotion I apply and it keeps my skin moisturized longer, extends the wear of any scent in scented lotions, and has improved my skin texture.

I also use it on my hair and on my scalp. Unless you wind up being allergic to it (which I've never heard of, but it's possible), it's a product that can be used in so many ways that you should get use out of it even if you never put it on your face.

I use her original and love it. It soaks in quickly and I haven't broken out from it. Works well for softening my under eye area, and I use it down my neck too. Any extra I have on my hands I run over my elbows and into my cuticles.

For me, it is one of those things that I do replace when I'm running low, rather than looking around for something better like I do with most of my skin care.

I'm always on the search for the Holy Grail product that will make me look 10 years younger and 10 lbs lighter. lol

JM argan oil is excellent & for the most part women who do use have no issues. You may want to try it but do a patch test to your jaw area first & neck for a few days.. I suggest the original, a little goes a long way. Since its a carrier oil, it should not cause irritation but do the patch test. You can also add a drop to your moisturizer.

Personally, I find the best carrier oil for aging skin is Rose Hip Seed oil The same with that do a patch test. Good Luck! I would like to add if your new to oils, start off with JM's. or Sweet Almond oil. Both are not irritants.

I did try Acure's argan oil & my skin was sensitve to that brand. Not only that it smelled rancid & it wasn't a bad batch. Argan oil should not have that odor.

I always hesitated on trying this product. I have acne prone skin and was even on accutane in the past. Some of the most expensive make ups and skin creams break me out however I finally decided to buy a sample bottle and now I am hooked, within days I ordered body butters, color sticks, foundation, lip treatments, cheek oils and eye shadows. Take the leap and you will not regret. I use light oil in the morning and the regular oil at night. I am now waiting for the infinity cream as I have heard great things about that.
