Garden of Wisdom's Argan Oil is 100% pure and certified organic. Imported from Morocco, our argan oil is rich and high in essential unsaturated fatty acids, making it great for improving the health and youthfulness of skin. Soothing and anti-inflammatory, argan oil calms irritated and swollen skin. It heals damaged skin and assists in treating skin conditions such as eczema. Perfect for sensitive and dry skin, argan softens rough skin, leaving it smooth and touchable.
This oil smells of Argan nuts. Please do not expect a "refined", less rich oil. Due to the nature of this oil, it sometimes has a very strong smell of Argan and other times it does not. It depends on the seasonal batch.

Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.
Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.

Loving My GOW Oils!
I have used Jose Maran argan oil for years, and recently ordered a few sample oils from GOW. Now I have a new addiction. They are all so good that I can't even say that I love one more than the other. I ordered argan, jojoba, black raspberry, and a combo mix called Clarify and Rejuvenate Oil. OH MY GOSH! I think i'm in oil heaven. These oils are not only giving me great hydration, but are minimizing fine lines and wrinkles and making my skin look like a baby's bottom, and it can't get more smooth than that. Right? Since i'm alternating these oils, I don't know which one is fading away a few dark spots on my face that have been there for a long time. The spots have almost disappeared. I will continue to use these oils that I have, then order more when I run out, and as I write this, I already have my cart loaded to the max with other oils I want to try along with these that I have. For years I have used argan oil and I found it to be so good, but I didn't realize that these other oils could do as much if not more for my skin. I will continue to buy argan as long as I live. I also am in love with the jojoba oil that is also good for my hair. Also, I trust GOW completely and know that I will always receive fresh and new products that haven't been on the shelf for a long time and smelling bad. Thanks GOW for all of your wonderful products.
WE LOVE that you love our Argan Oil! And that you are trying out other oils too :) Thank you for your review!

Glad I tried it!
This was my first time using this so I can only go by what I know so far. I really like this oil for two reasons. It works great for my hair, which is why I bought it...but it also does wonders for my twitchy, eczema-prone skin. I only bought the small size so when it's gone I will definitely buy the bigger bottle. I was a bit hesitant because of the disclaimer about the smell, since I am sensitive to that but it did not have much of an odor at all and it did not bother me. The fact that I can use it on both skin and hair makes this a keeper for me.
We're so glad you love this oil! It is one of our best sellers!
This is another favorite! Didn't think product was doing much until my husband mentioned that my face looked smoother and more even. He also has started using it now and has gotten many compliments. Doesn't burn or sting like ascorbic acid. I use 3-4 times a week at night only and love that it contains squalane because it gives me a little extra moisture.

Great skincare for my acne prone skin
I have combo acne prone skin and have a hard time finding products that don't break me out but are moisturizing enough. GoW has been a game changer.

not sure if this is the cleanser for me
Upon doing the cottonball test this item did not clean my face properly for me . I only use jojoba oil and concealer in a few places. I do believe it has quality ingredients, I have mixed it w the Skin Friendly Cucumber cleanser as to make that cleanser more gentle for MY high maintenance skin.

Healing and smoothing
This serum has really reduced my redness! It's especially helpful any time my skin is freaking out - it seems to reduce the time it takes for breakouts to heal. The hydration and consistency are exactly what I needed as an extra step between my hydrating toner and moisturizer. Also, a friend I was catching up with actually commented on my "glow" - I thought that was only something that happened to people with naturally good skin.

Fantastic product
I have very red and easily irritated skin. This product annihilates the redness overnight. I had been really struggling to find something that helped and this was the only thing that did. It didn't irritate my skin in any way when applied. If there's a moisturizer to match in the future, I volunteer as the guinea pig lol. Thank you for a wonderful product.

This serum saved my skin!
I have developed rosacea in the last couple of years and I’ve struggled to find any products that truly helped heal my skin. My skin was dry, irritated, and felt like sandpaper. It seemed like nothing would absorb or make my skin feel hydrated. I’ve seen a dermatologist and have been prescribed multiple creams that have made my skin feel worse and I could never stick with them. I’ve used GoW products on and off for years but finally got fed up with the prescription route and decided to find a natural routine and stick with it. I’ve been using this serum twice a day with an oil blend as moisturizer and also incorporated a hypochlorous acid spray. The rosacea serum has been the thing that has saved my skin. In less than 2 weeks, my skin is no longer red and no longer feels like sandpaper. It’s plump and hydrated. Before, on close inspection, it looked like every pore on my face was clogged and had a layer of red, dry skin. That is nearly gone. This serum is incredible.

There's something about coconut vinegar that just hits right...
I LOVE to close my eyes and spray all of the Coco tonics on my face after washing it. It smells amazing and makes it so less is more as you move forward with serums and creams. It's like self-care in a spritzer.

The scent to rival all scent-sations!
It is the most DIVINE of all the serums I've tried at GoW, not only due to it's efficacy, but the scent takes you straight into a rose garden on a mild spring day. Lovely feeling on my skin and to my senses.

Wishing you the best,

Thought to try this for the first time and I don’t regret it. It feels hydrating and refreshing. The spray works great for reapplication.
Vera,
Thank you for the positive review. It's incredible how something as simple as hydration can make our days
seem to feel better.
Wishing you the best in your skincare journey.

The Garden of Wisdom AHA + Kojic Acid Serum has been a true staple in my skincare routine
The Garden of Wisdom AHA + Kojic Acid Serum has been a true staple in my skincare routine. I only realized how effective it was when I couldn’t find it for a while—during that time, my skin really struggled. I even tried another serum with a similar formula, but it just didn’t deliver the same results. Now that I’ve found this serum again, I’m beyond happy! My skin is already showing great improvement. It keeps my acne under control and tackles my stubborn post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) better than anything else I’ve tried. This product is definitely a keeper!
Oh, Vera!
This is such great feedback, thank you so much. That's funny (not in a humorous way, though) that you had to run out to recognize its potential. So completely understandable! It happens to all of us.
Thank you so much for sharing this important feedback with others.
