I've been using argan oil on my face for a few years now and I love it. I live in Colorado and it's very dry so I finally resorted to putting straight oil on my skin because the regular moisturizers weren't cutting it anymore. Of course, I started with a much more expensive argan oil so I was careful about how much I used. However, this oil is just as good and seems to be exactly the same as the expensive Josie Maran brand I used to buy -- which was about $70 a bottle instead of $10. Seriously, it feels the same, works the same, and even smells the same -- just slightly nutty. Maybe it's just become easier to get this oil, but I would absolutely recommend this one, especially for the price. Now I can use it on other parts of my body without worrying about running out and not being able to afford another bottle. It works great on cuticles, dry hands, feet, and also hair -- although only use a tiny bit on your hair because it can make your hair look oily if you overdo it. Start with the ends and work up.
This oil has been a lifesaver for my skin and doesn't make it feel oily and doesn't make it shiny. If you have dry skin, it will soak this oil right up and be oh so happy. I do give it a few minutes for the skin to really absorb it before putting on any other moisturizers (you still want a sunscreen) or make-up. I use a light-weight moisturizer with sunscreen over this, but I use just the oil at night, along with an eye cream. You can try this around your eyes but everyone is different and some people are more sensitive to oils around the eyes. It doesn't bother me at all, but then I've been using for a long time.
For the price, you can't go wrong. Give this a try -- you'll love it and wonder how you ever lived without it.

Four stars because I think it's pretty scumbaggy to send out full size "samples" to get five star reviews. If every single review did not have this at the end, maybe I would have given it five stars. Anyway, I was immediately put off by all the negative reviews, I did not look through them before I bought this because.. How can you go wrong with oil? We have also purchased Tea Tree oil from this company with no problems. I did some researching, good quality Argan oil will have a scent, I'm sure this can depend on brands, the smell should go away pretty quickly if it's good. I also want to point out that if it is different for brands, CULINARY grade Argan oil will smell very nutty and delicious; I don't think this is culinary grade, just regular cosmetic grade oil, otherwise I would have searched for cooking oil specifically. It will have sediment and/or appear foggy, it will be a light golden color, it will not be sticky or watery, it should be silky and... Oily I guess. It should quickly absorb and have no real after-feel. This is my first experience with Argan oil! The bottle was nicely packaged in its own box, and the bottle sealed. Great! I was nervous to open it, given all the rancid reviews. When I smelt it, I had to put my nose nearly IN the opening to smell it. It did not "hit" me, it didn't smell bad, it smells sort of like a faint menthol mixed with forest. I don't find it offending at all. The color is a light golden. Holding it up to the light shows that it is foggy inside the bottle. I tried a drop in my palms, rubbed it in once and it was very matte feeling and could smell it just the same (I had to get my nose nearly against my hand). I rubbed my palms together for about a minute maybe longer, the smell began to go away, which is what it should do, as far as I know. 5-10 minutes now (didn't keep track) and there is no smell and it doesn't even feel like I put any oil on. There's no residue at all or smell. So I am please with this Argan oil. Being my first experience it probably isn't the most high quality, but as far as I can tell it is very decent, and is a great bargain. The real test will be if it does show results, and if it does then this stuff is as good as high quality oil!
