Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

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."
