THE GOLD STANDARD
Touted as “liquid gold”, argan oil hails from Morocco and has been used for centuries as an ancient remedy for skin problems like dry skin, acne, rashes and wrinkles.
Argan oil is rich in oleic and linoleic acid, as well as fatty acids – ideal for acne-prone skin. Even though it’s an oil, argan oil is non-comedogenic which means it doesn’t clog pores.
