What it is: A cold-pressed daily support oil that naturally hydrates the skin while combating dryness and supporting healthy-looking skin.

BEST Argan Oil
I've done a lot of research and tried numerous brands, when you put Argan oil in the refrigerator it should become cloudy and this is the ONLY brand that has turned cloudy, and the slight scent that comes from the product is a clear indication of the purity of this product.

A wonderful multipurpose serum!
It works great, not only for dry skin, but for hair as well. I live in northern Canada with cold dry winter that leaves my skin so dry. This is the perfect serum to add into my routine when my skin is extra dry. It's also great for dry hair, and taming flyaways and frizz. Just remember it is an oil, a little does a long way.

This stuff is fine as a moisturizer but the smell is horrible! I don’t know how no one else has mentioned it but it smells like rotting animal I can’t use it because it smells so bad

Thought I received a bad batch
Bought this product with high hopes of it being a better and cheaper hair oil alternative to the other expensive brands out there. Unfortunately, I could not get past the smell. I thought it smelled as though it had gone rancid, like when oil goes bad. Although it did help soften my hair, the smell lingered and stayed with me all day. I’ve taken to using it at night now, so I don’t leave the house smelling like it.
I’m giving it 2 stars just because it helps moisturize my hair but I wish I could use it more often and during the day without smelling terrible

Hi there! Thanks so much for sharing your experience with Moroccan Argan Oil. We're sorry to hear it didn't work out. Kindly note, our 100% Organic Cold Pressed Argan Oil is unrefined and contains no artificial fragrances. Many Argan oils on the market tend to be refined or contain fragrances that can be irritating to the skin. While refined oils tend to have a more subtle natural odour, refining our Argan Oil would compromise the integrity of the product, as the refinement process will break down the oil's beneficial properties! Argan Oil also contains a high content of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, which contributes to its natural odour. For any further assistance, please feel free to reach out to our Product Experts via our Contact Page: www.theordinary.com/contact

Repaired my skin Barrier
I have used this product for over a year and it has done wonders to my face. I use it as a face wash and moisturizer. I have very sensitive skin, my cheeks were always inflamed, red and textured. I have used many other products to help with my skills my barrier but nothing seemed to help; most products didn’t work at all, some for a short while and then my face would react again.
Once I started using this oil my skin barrier healed! I use it to double cleanse, then a gel cleanser and then apply the oil all over my face and overnight I can see a difference. I only wish it came in a bigger bottle!
