Acure The Essentials Argan Oil - Organic Argan Oil for Hair & Skin, Pure Nourishing Moisture Treatment for Face & Body, Carrier Oil for Essential Oils, Vegan, Natural, Cold Pressed - 1 fl oz

I've used different brands of argan oil on and off for many years, and Acure argan oil is high quality so I always go back to it. It has a very light, nutty scent and is slightly pale yellow in color, almost clear. I've run into another brand whose argan oil was strongly scented and brown (yuck). Expiration (or freshness) is indicated on the bottle as six months after opening, but I've had the bottle for over a year and it's almost like-new in quality. I've kept it in a bathroom drawer always out of direct light and nozzle in the closed position when not in use. Argan oil is great for when my skin starts to feel drier than usual (cold weather) or skin barrier damage. I apply it over my regular moisturizer for its excellent vitamin E provision, but I have also applied it as my main moisturizer in the time my skin was not as dry. It helps my skin heal faster and keeps the moisture level up a little longer. It is not strong at sealing like petroleum or other waxes, but this is why I like argan oil. I have sensitive skin and am prone to clogged pores/acne, and argan oil does not aggravate them; my skin stays clear. I keep my products oil-free as much as possible aside from specific oils which I know are safe for my skin. Argan oil sits on top of my skin but it eventually does evaporate, so I might reapply it as needed. This is a great night oil for me. I suggest a good moisturizer under the argan oil if your skin is dry in order to maximally benefit from its properties. It still stays smooth under sunscreen and it doesn't pill. When there is no sun-damage risk, I might only have a layer of argan oil on my face for a sheen/gloss. It looks great, but most importantly, it enriches my skincare routine.

I've tried many expensive moisturizers, oils, and serums, and none compare to this product. I was initially worried that because it's an oil, my face might break out (as it does with olive or coconut oil--yes, I've tried everything!), but it's actually done the opposite. My skin's never been so clear or soft. I have combination skin, and thought it might leave the oilier spots too oily, but it's effectively saturated the dry and oilier spots evenly--making my whole face soft and blemish free. I was also worried by negative reviews I saw, so I wrote to Acure to see what they'd say in response to the most common issues I saw reviewers had: the cost (too cheap for what it is), bottling (clear bottle not an effective way to protect the product), manufacturing (is this pure oil, or does it go through a chemical process), and smell (doesn't smell nutty like Argan oil is supposed to). I got a response within an hour of writing to them. Here's what they said: "Our Argan Oil is 100% pure, unrefined and unprocessed. It is cold pressed by hand, first pressing of the nut and is sourced from a womens co-op in Morocco. This is important because when undergoing heat processing (commonly when processed by machinery) most of the precious essential fatty acids and vitamin E are lost. Argan Oil, much like other crops, such as wine and cheese, does vary depending on things such as seasonality and climate. And because of this, the aroma can vary greatly, from neutral to a very potent earthy or nutty aroma. While the aroma can vary, this does not change the potency or effectiveness of the oil in any way. It is also important to know that although our oils are housed in clear bottles so that you can enjoy the beautiful color of the oils, they are UV etched, meaning they are indeed protected from UV light, which can ultimately cause a breakdown of the essential fatty acids. Lastly, in regards to cost, one of our commitments as a company is to provide not only safe & effective products, but products that are affordable to the consumer. This means that we offer every product in our line under $30, and choose to pass any savings we receive to the consumer rather than ourselves. And thus, because we include argan oil in almost every single one of our formulations, we purchase the oil in such large quantities that we receive a significant discount, which in turn, is passed on to the consumer in the form of affordable pricing. I hope this answers your concerns regarding our Argan Oil. Please rest assured it is indeed 100% pure USDA certified organic Argan Oil, and is unrefined and unprocessed. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us."

This stuff is absolutely fantastic! I have very dry skin that tends to get extremely oily if I don't keep it well moisturized. I've tried a million products for moisturizing at night, and none of them lasted long enough to keep my face from drying out and, as a result, overcompensating with loads of oil by morning. This stuff changed all that. Just about four drops on my face at night after a very gentle cleanser, and my skin is fantastic 24 hours a day. My face doesn't get oily overnight, and my skin doesn't dry out during the day. I haven't had a pimple since I started using this stuff (I never got many anyway, but still), and my skin seems to be a little more even in terms of tone. I can't recommend this stuff highly enough! If you're looking for a really great, totally natural moisturizer to keep your skin balanced all day long (and help with blemishes and tone), order this product right now!

This amazing product has worked wonders for my hair. After just a few uses, my hair feels so much softer, shinier, and healthier. The oil is lightweight and doesn’t leave my hair greasy, which I really appreciate. It helps with frizz and makes my hair look more manageable and smooth. I also noticed less breakage and more overall strength. Plus, it doesn’t have any sent which is great. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a nourishing and high-quality hair treatment. It’s definitely become a staple in my hair care routine!

So I've had horrible acne since I was 12 years old. I'm now 21 and it's not cute anymore. I've tried it all from proactiv to prescription Clindamycin and Tretinoin, to salicylic acid and Benzoyl Peroxide. Let me tell you now that if you have struggled with acne and have tried everything to dry it out and treat it with these topical treatments, stop it all and just try this argan oil. Rather than drying your skin out, this replenishes and moisturizes SO well, your skin stops producing so much oils and overproducing sebum, and therefore stops clogging pores and causing acne. I've gone through one bottle now, and I cannot stop recommending it to everyone. I have scarring from when I used to pick at the spots, and I swear this oil has started to make them fade. (I'd tried Medurma scar treatment and it made me break out, this DOESNT.) What i do is wash my face with a gentle cleanser, using a brush to make sure dead skin and dirt and stuff is gently removed, and then dry my skin a little, making sure my face is still damp. Then I use two pumps, rubbing between my hands first and then rubbing it into my face for a solid minute until it's all absorbed. I had never used an oil moisturizer before, so it took some getting used to. It might feel greasy at first but I swear it all gets absorbed. I usually do one pump in the morning, two at night. I stopped wearing foundation and concealer because this stuff has totally reduced the acne and scarring to the point where I feel confident again. No doubt stopping the makeup has helped my skin as well. I dont have to blot my skin 3+ times a day because my skin isn't an oil slick anymore. I definitely recommend this argan oil if you're someone like me who has tried everything except moisturizing acne away. My skin is always SO SOFT now.

I read the reviews on ACURE Argon Oil, and wondered if it could possibly fix Breast Sweat, Clear and Hydrate Skin, and Tame Frizzy hair. In two words -YES, ABSOLUTELY! Beauty oil of my dreams. Breast Sweat: a condition of well endowed women that is characterized by a red-itchy scaly rash and accompanied by blisters and mystery skin tags. My dermatologist pronounced the skin tags as age spots and told me to keep the area dry with powder. If that combo had worked, I wouldn't be in her office. $40 copay wasted. Off to Pinterest! In moments I discovered this miracle oil. Thank heavens for Amazon Prime. It arrived in two days. I made certain to get 3 applications in before going to bed. The next morning the itching was gone. In three days the rawness and scales were clearing. I am ten days into the 3-a-day application and couldn't be more thrilled. Two of the dr.-declared "age spots" are gone. The 3rd and largest spot has been reduced by half. I bet in two more weeks there will be no sign of this itchy embarrassing mess. Oh, during that same dermatology visit I asked for product recommendations to care for my now "suddenly" aging skin that would not aggravate and further dry it out. I received product samples and the not-so-comforting admonishment that I would now need to be even more diligent, as this was just a part of aging. While waiting for the Argon oil to arrive, of course I did more research and discovered Argon Oil makes a perfect hair dressing for anyone with wirey hair. Reviewers said that the oil was light, and while providing control and shine it did not weigh down the hair. They were right! So there you have it. I am so pleased with my progress. My "beauty problems" are a thing of the past. The powders, creams, skin toners, and hair conditioners are all gone. Replaced by this marvelous little bottle of golden oil - Argon Oil....Check out its super reasonable price. Such a bargain!!!

It smells a bit bad in my opinion, like a cow pasture (I'm from the mountains of North Carolina and I definitely recognized the scent), but I've never had such amazing results from any skincare product. I went in person to some local shops to confirm that the scent is typical of the product and it smelled essentially the same at each location (they were very high quality shops, one being the natural grocer Erewhon in central LA). I had noticed some fine lines reaching under my eyes toward my cheeks and flipped out; I'm 27. I ordered this oil from Acure after comparing against hundreds of other brands and felt confident that the quality was top notch. I was not let down. Within a week, my fine lines were nearly imperceptible and I'm very scrutinizing when it comes to my skin. To deal with the scent, I mix it with a few drops of Nuxe Huile Prodigeuse. It covers the scent quite well. Also, I've been using the oil on some skin shave-biopsy sites (aka big holes leftover from mole removal). I was using antibiotic ointment with no positive results; the sites looked red, inflamed, and like they were headed toward infection if they weren't already infected. I applied the argan oil to the sites after showering and then wet some thin gauze with filtered water and applied more argan oil directly to the gauze. I taped the moist gauze directly onto all four of the biopsy sites. By the next day, I took the gauze off and my mind was blown. These holes nearly the size of a pencil eraser that hadn't been healing for almost a week were nearly closed and flat! Most of the redness had gone down along with the swelling and itching. I will never be without this stuff again as a first aid ointment.

Review: Acure Argan Oil, 1 Ounce. Vendor: Better Planet Brands, LLC Yes, I bought this for an unconventional reason! So this review is for all you large chested women out there who know the burden of boob sweat! Why would I try this under my breasts??? At times the red, raw irritation that comes with large breasts is down right painful and unbearable. I shower daily, I am clean. I have an office job so I am not out running around and sweating in general. The truth is, it's a dark and moist place and things like to grow there that we don't want growing there. You know that awful yeasty smell that goes along with it? It's gone. So each morning after my shower I rub a drop the size of a pea between my fingers than under my breasts covering all the areas I have this issue with. I could probably use less but still figuring this out. At the end of the day, my skin is not irritated and there is no smell. In fact, my skin has improved and feels healthier. Yes, it's an oil so use it sparingly. Yes, at the end of the day, you will still feel that oil under there but as far as I am concerned its 100% better than what I was dealing with. It's a very, very light oil with little to no scent. It will take a very long time to use up this bottle so for the price,it's a steal.

Huele a aceite de cocina y deja oliendo las almohadas horrible

Gutes Öl, nehme es für die Haare. Nur zuviel sollte man nicht nehmen

ربما يكون الافضل لكن يعيبه الكميه ويمكن كميته قليله لان يتعبون عليه صدق لكن عيبه فيه تسريب مستمر بالعلبه مع انها وصلتني سليمه

I absolutely swear by this product for my skin! I use the oil cleansing method and I use this oil to do it. Simply do two pumps of oil into the palm of your hand and then rub all over your face (yep, even a full face of makeup) and massage in really well, in to your eyelashes as well. Then get a warm flannel and rub gently off your face and voila! a clean face with no makeup residue (you can even test this with a makeup wipe). Super friendly for the skin, also promotes hair growth (my eyelashes and eyebrows have never been so full and shiny!) perfect for clearing acne as well as for oily skin types. I know it sounds strange putting oil on to an oily face but believe me it does absolute wonders. Also you're not putting any harsh chemicals on your face, win win! Gorgeous product, can't recommend enough!
