What it does:
One creamy oil, infinite possibilities. This delivers all the moisturizing benefits of argan oil in a portable, nongreasy, creamy oil form. The innovative formula starts as a cream and melts into an oil, making your complexion more luminous while tightening facial contours and preventing inflammation.

I directly copy-pasted this whole, amazingly promising usage list from Sephora Website. Even though I didn't use it on my eyebrow to keep it in place or transforming powder eye shadow, I found this product works wonderfully on many skin conditions.

Color: Creamy pale yellowish white

Texture and Consistency: Thick, Heavy, Dense and Creamy. Slightly sticky and very greasy

Scent: Mild citrusy scent with hint of Vanilla. (I am not a huge fan of the vanilla notes)

How I use it: I use it strictly on my hands, feet, lips, elbows and dry patches on face. I never use it on my hair or the entire face. This is very thick and highly emollient. A little goes a long way.

My thoughts on this product:
This is very greasy and thick. It spreads easily, but takes time to absorb and sink in. I find it too heavy to be used all over the face under makeup, but it helps to soften the dry patches. I did try using it all over the face at night. It did not break me out nor clogged my pores, but I just didn't enjoy the whole feel on my face. It just felt heavy. I think there are many beauty oils in market that would do a great job on the face. It did wonders for my kid's super dry hands and feet. Since the day I discovered this working on him, it has become a must have thing for him (he hates it, but I make sure I apply this while he goes to bed)
This has a great potential to stain clothes or anything that comes in contact for first few minutes after application. I won't use this as go to hand cream, but it is a lovely overnight hand and feet treatment. I like to use it on my cuticles too, but I use a soft glove after application.

Issue with the product:
This gets separated in the tube occasionally. So sometimes more oil comes out followed by the cream. Just a gentle squeeze and massage on the tube does the trick of mixing it well. Not a major problem. Just something I noticed.

Shelf life: Like any other oil based product this comes with a shelf life. I picked this product back in March I believe, but didn't use it much because the weather got warmer. It smelled much fresh and pleasant back then. Now, I notice a slight change in the freshness of the scent. It has not turned rancid to toss off, but it did change a bit. No change in the color, texture or creaminess.

Packaging: Comes in a convenient, soft squeeze tube. Easy to travel with.

Verdict: A very good multi-purpose creamy product, that is safe and easy to use. Good to travel with. I am really enjoying this, especially because it worked great for my kid. I equally enjoy the Josie Maran Argan Balm, but in harsh Chicago winters, it hardens up a bit and becomes difficult to apply. You can read review here.

Good product to give a try if suffering from dry skin and conditions related to it.
