Aura Cacia Organic Skin Care Oil, Argan, 1-Fluid OunceUSDA Organic

If you are looking for a pretty smell because it comes from a flower, you will be disappointed. It is a seed oil - it smells like oil. This product is also blended with vitamin E - which happens to be an oil that I really hate the smell of. However, I was looking for the organic seed oils because I wanted to avoid unnecessary chemicals and a natural way to moisturize my very dry skin. I have an autoimmune condition that contributes to my dry skin and eyes. Left un-moisturized my hands can get small splits in the winter that will bleed, so really, really dry skin. I consider some treatments to be worth a blah smell, I think of it like medicine for your skin. This product does not smell 'bad,' and if you like the smell of vitamin E you will be in your glory.I purchased this item after doing some research on seed oils. I already was using evening primrose oil and I wanted to add this to my skin care routine. I started by alternating am/pm with the products, then just decided to use both together. I tend to use one pump of this product mixed with a few drops of evening primrose oil. It works well. I apply the blend immediately after a shower. By the time I have gotten partially dressed and into a robe, my skin is ready for makeup. No oil residue, just a soft freshly moisturized feel.Like most products, it states to avoid the eye area. I choose to use it everywhere on my face as well as in the eye area. I actually rub it in, including the lash line. I have very dry eyes and I can really rub this product in and have no irritation. In fact, it feels great!One 'drawback,' if you can really consider it one: If you are not going to use it quickly, you need to keep in in the refrigerator. Oils that are pure and organic, without preservatives, will go rancid. When I did keep mine in the refrigerator, I would forget about it. Unfortunately, I really need to put moisturizer on the minute I get out of the shower while I am in a steamy room, so if I didn't remember to bring it in the bathroom before my shower, then I can't use it. I have decided to throw caution to the wind and keep it in the bathroom and just check to make sure that it does not get a rancid smell.I would definitely buy this again. In fact, I would purchase a larger container to keep in the fridge and just keep refilling this container to the 1/2 way point to overcome the rancid potential vs. the keep in the bathroom to make it usable.

I have a child with eczema, plus the rest of our family experiences dry skin during New England's harsh winters.Argan Oil may or may not work for you... but this is a very convenient size for trying a new skin product! I particularly like this brand for the easy to use pump applicators on top. We've used both this Argan Oil and the same line's Aura Cacia Organic Skin Care Oil, Baobab, 1-Fluid Ounce, as well as many other brands of oil available at Whole Foods and on Amazon, and this applicator is the very best. I can easily dispense a small amount to smooth over my own oily facial skin, or add several pumps to a handful of mixed oils to moisturize my little guy with the skin condition after his bath.(Home Health - Castor Oil Cold Pressed & Cold Processed 8 fl. oz. really suffers by comparison when it comes to ease of use!)As I mentioned, my skin has always been oily and breakout prone, but also very sensitive to chemicals. With age and winter starting to leave me dried out for part of the year, I was really at a loss when every moisturizing cream I tried led to breakouts. I've been using some skin oils, beginning with DHC Olive Virgin Oil 1 fl. oz. because I had it, then on to jojoba oil and now Argan, and I've been much more successful than when using prepared products with too many ingredients for my temperamental face. I wish I could say we'd cured winter skin, but we haven't. It just feels better with application of some (tiny bit of) oil over freshly washed skin. Argan Oil does feel just amazing going on. I think it has the least greasy residue of any oil I've tried yet (Olive, Jojoba, Baobab, Avocado, Sesame and Castor.)Along the same lines, my sensitive little guy still has eczema, but he hasn't reacted badly to this Argan Oil, though I think the Baobab Oil is working out best for him.Whole Foods has this line of oils on sale this week (month?) for about what I paid here on Amazon, but the regular price is about 50% higher, so you may want to shop around before you buy.

I use this oil every morning as part of my skincare routine. This is a high-quality organic oil the blends easily over the skin to moisturize the skin without feeling greasy or excessively oily. My skin feels smooth and hydrated. This is a wonderful oil for aging skin. It is also a very good oil for those who are sensitive to fragrances or other additives. This oil is a good value for the price, comparable to prices I have found in some specialty stores.

I heard about this oil on Dr. Oz. It's supposed to be a great moisturizer. I had many brands and sellers to choose from but I decided on this one. It arrived on time but it quickly went all wrong. The first major issue was the pump. I had to use a lot of force to get the oil out and it shot oil all over me. You can't just pump out a little as it squirts out way more than you most likely will need as it's just a wast of money. Not to mention you will quickly get irritated as it just makes a mess every time no matter how carefull you are. The oil also stains, look it up, I would buy from another brand. Then, the worst of all, I broke out very bad! I just put a little around my eyes and I can tell you I do not have sensitive skin. I have used other oils and numerous other creams from all the majors brands and never broke out before. I thought maybe it was a fluke, so I waited a week and tried it again. Nope, same thing! Broke out with pimple like bumps and I'm 34, past that stage. I then contacted the seller asking if I could return for a refund. The seller emailed me back nicely saying I could not get a refund for this purchase and I was out of luck. I would stay away from this seller as you WILL NOT GET A REFUND! So it stains, makes a Big mess, and many others have said they have also broke out! And No refund! Stay away!!!
