So, argan oil comes from the kernel of the argan fruit that comes from the argan tree that grows only in Morocco. The tree is slow growingand getting the oil is a hard job. The traditional process is that the ripe argan fruits fallfrom the tree, then goats eat them up and poop out the seeds. The seedsare collected and smashed with a stone to get the kernels inside. This part is the hard one as the seeds have extremely hard shells. Once the kernels are obtained, the oil is pressed out from them (the kernels contain about 50% oil). As for the disadvantages, Zinc Oxide is also not cosmetically elegant. It leaves a disturbing whitish tint on the skin , although , according to a 2000research paper by Dr. Pinnell, it's slightlyless white than TiO2. Still, it's white and disturbing enough to use Zinc Oxide nanoparticles more and more often.

A skin-refreshing moisturiser containing 3% encapsulated retinoid cream to combat fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, acne scars and hyperpigmentation. When it comes to cosmetic oils and hype, argan oil is for sure leading the way. Dubbed as the " liquid gold of Morocco", we have to admit we have some trouble determining why this oil enjoys such a special miracle status. Not that it's not good, it is good, even greatbut reading the research about argan and a bunch of other plant oils we just do not see the big, unique differentiating factor (though that might be our fault not reading enough, obvs.) Yes, Facetheory is appropriate for acne prone skin. A selection of their products use jojoba oil for face acne, and some products use argan oil for acne. Jojoba oil has anti-inflammatory properties that help treat acne. Argan oil regulates the amount of sebum in your skin and is used to treat different types of acne. Is Facetheory vegan and cruelty free? Stabilised retinol ester targets fine lines and blemishes. Vitamins C and E help to combat hyperpigmentation and shield against free radicals.As we wrote in our lengthy retinol description the problem is that the conversion is not terriblyeffective. The evidence that RP is still an effective anti-aging ingredient is not very strong, in fact, it's weak. Dr. Leslie Baumann in her fantastic Cosmetic Dermatologybook writes that RP is topically ineffective. The Regena-C Moisturizer is good for most skin types and is gentle enough for the eye area. The active ingredients found in this Facetheory moisturizer are:

Something else which is slightly unusual is that they give you the option to buy a mandarin scented version and a fragrance free one. Of course I opted for the fragrance free. Which in reality doesn’t mean free of any fragrance – just not an artificial one! The smell of the unscented moisturiser is actually lovely. A herbal smell but nothing too overbearing.Hello lovelies! I'm looking for people who have used Facetheory products and their thoughts on them, or those who have researched them and have opinions.
