Review: Josie Maran Argan Oil

I've heard good things about argan oil for a while now. The only place I've seen it offered was from the Josie Maran brand at Sephora. However, a 1.7oz bottle costs $48USD, needless to say it's a bit steep, so I haven't had a chance to try it yet.


So when I saw that the Sephora Favorites Naturally Gorgeous kit had it as one of their products, AND it was on sale for $20, I couldn't resist!


As you can see it's really not a big size. The size in this kit is 0.13oz. It's actually very cute as it fits in the palm of my hand!

So with argan oil, the benefits are said to be as follows:
- works wonders on wrinkles and dry skin
- reduces scars such as acne and stretch marks
- repairs dry, chapped skin (ie. elbows, lips, knees, feet, etc)
- soothes burns and scalds

It is supposedly rich in Vitamin E, which is how it can accomplish the above.










So my concerns really are dry skin and fine wrinkles on my cheeks. I'll try to weekly/monthly update with pictures to see if this argan oil really is helping or not.

This was two drops. I found that I needed 3 drops for my face, probably because I felt like I needed for those areas of concern.

Texture-wise, it was exactly as if I was putting oil on my face. Now it's supposedly good for acne so I'm hoping it won't break me out. We'll see how it goes in a week or so~

XOXO,
Wendy

Thanks for sharing this post. I've been wanting to try out Josie Maran's products, but it seems that every Sephora I've been to, doesn't carry her line:( Have u tried any of the make-up products like her mascara or eye shadows?
