I have tried quite a few, and my favorite is a cheapie: Trader Joe's 100% organic argan oil - 1.7 ounces for $6.99. It has a slightly earthy scent, but it is a great buy, non-greasy, and I prefer it to many of the higher priced versions. I use it nightly as a moisturizer, and also sometimes mix a drop or 2 into my foundation.

I have only ever used argan oil straight from Morocco that I pick up myself when I go yearly. However I tried the Trader Joe's brand -LOVE IT!!!! Great price, nice smell and works well on my face, body and hair.

Argan Oil is a wonderful moisturizer and anti-aging productthat is getting popular with each passing day. It has a high concentration of vitamin E, essential fatty acids, sterols and squalene that helps with skin elasticity. Great for hair as it is a non greasy oil. It makes your hair and skin feels like silk. It also makes your skin glow. You can use it straight or add a few drops to your favorite lotion, creme, shampoo, conditioner, etc...

I recommend using 100% pure argan oil that is fresh with no additives, preservatives or fragrance. Many products like the brand Moroccan Oil, organix only contain 4 to 5% argan oil

My favorite brand is Mogador Argan Oil https://your-style-guide.com/best-argan-oil-for-hair/ it is 100% pure, certified organic and is a fair trade product. Their bottle comes with instructions on the label and I do find that to be very helpful. It is moderately priced and I have a 2 oz bottle for 3 months now and it is still half full!
 
Josie Maran Argan oil has always broken me out for some reason and felt very heavy. I've used the one from Life-flo and liked it a lot, especially for the price. I'm currently using Kahina's Argan and find it to be the best of the three.
 
If you're breaking out from argan oil, I'd suggest switching to a more linoleic acid. I find argan and coconut were awful for me then later found out that they can be comedogenic! I really like maracuja oil though - it's light in the summer but works well in the winter too. I just do 2 drops in the summer and 3 in the winter for my face. https://www.healthyskinglows.com/choose-right-oil-acne-prone-skin/ (in addition to other hydrating and acne- fighting steps in my skincare of course!)
