Did any of you order it? I didn't because I have a back up of her Argan Milk which I love! I have enough body butter. She showed a before & after of her Body Milk which mostly erased all lines on the model's arms. I do not believe than any product can reduce sagging skin & get the results as shown. This morn. I saw a video from a earlier show with Shawn. To those who have tryed her Body Milk, what are your thoughts?

I believe any body butter, serum or cream moisturize, it does look better but, by no means, erases lines. Some salespersons are little more than snake oil shysters with convincing pitches. That said, yes, I have the body butters, creams and serums that they sell.

I usually get her TSVs but no. I have two tubs of the Vanilla Apricot body butter already in my closet. They include that scent with every body butter set and frankly I'm sick of it.

@FleurFairyI have not tried the Apricot but some scented Body Butters of Josie's that I tryed were horrid. One being Vanilla Wafer with her VW perfume, it nauseated me. I did love her Vanilla Pear. Now, I love the unscented & Vanilla Bean. I have no interest in trying any new scents.

@wishmoonI have always liked Josie & have to say I was disapointed with the before & after pics which anyone with any skincare experience knows it is not possible. Do you have her Body Milk?

I'm sure of 2 things.  One is that no serum, no moisturizer will ever give me skin like Josie's. her models, or even that of any QVC host.  Two, though, is that I'm also convinced that using a serum and moisturizer on a regular basis always improves the skin I do have.

That skin has serious issues gained from more than 75 years of life, some of it lived in quite unhealthy life choices, as well as some issues I can't begin to source.  Although those issues might be improved by surgery, that's not happening!  I'm okay with being somewhat better.  

One thing I'm not so sure about is what brand works best for me, so I might cave later on today and try the TSV; I know I like the butters -but I've never tried the milk products that sort of appeal right now.

Haven't tried the body milk yet. But love everything else in the unscented TSV so I will be ordering. Love the Reserve & am also going to order/try the argan/hemp seed oil (Skin Dope). Don't know why I try different products but even if/when I use something new from a different line, I always go back to JM. My mature, dry & sensitive skin is much better w/everything from Josie Maran. Thank you Josie!

The ingredients for the milk is first water (?), two oils (one is argan) & citric acid. When the first ingredient of a product is water, for me, it’s a no. It also states after using using the “milk”, still apply argan oil on top.

So, what does the milk actually do for the skin? I’ve never used it, but I’m skeptical. Also the % of women who see improvement is iffy...72% of how many? Did they test 10 women or 500 women? Some of the models she uses have been with her demonstrating her products for years and look no different to me. Were they part of the % tested?

Yes, I've had it but would never buy it again. I just didn't see any difference. I don't understand the pictures either. For that matter, I don't believe the result percentages.

From Beautypedia:  Pure Argan Milk is not 100% argan oil (so don't take the name "pure argan" literally). It's actually a mix of water, argan oil, a few emulsifying agents and lipids that feels exceptionally light on skin. It's an interesting spin off of Maran's original 100% Pure Argan Oil. We suspect that this alternative is designed to satisfy those customers who want to use a facial oil in their routine, but are put off by the heavy, greasy feel of applying almost any pure oil to their skin.

Is argan oil the best plant oil to use? Not in any way; it's just one of many good options. Like most non-fragrant plant oils, argan oil contains a mix of beneficial compounds, such as moisturizing unsaturated fatty acids and squalene as well antioxidant polyphenols, tocopherols, sterols, beta carotene and

vitamin E (Journal of Chemistry, 2013). It is this mix of beneficial substances contained within this one ingredient that makes this product worth considering despite its brief ingredient list.
