Product Review: Pangea Organics Moroccan Argan with Willow & Rosemary Facial Cream

By: Megan
Cost: $32

So I guess just by the title you are expecting me to be obsessed with this moisturizer based on the fact that its Pangea Organics, well you would be wrong.  I know I'm not happy about that little fact either.  When I first bought this (about a month ago) I had just learned how great argan oil is, and was ready to buy anything that it as an ingredient.  So I was thrilled when I saw Pangea Organics made a moisturizer that had argan listed in the name!  When I picked up the bottle I saw that it said for oily or blemish prone skin, which I do not have, but said screw it!  It had Argan in it, it was by Pangea, and I can have a one tracked mind sometimes, I figured blemish prone or not it would be great, it had everything I wanted!  Well, if you can remember from my review on Pangea Organics toner, my face and I fought for a while after making the switch.  Once we were on speaking terms again, I noticed that while my skin looked amazing it still didn't feel like it was getting all of the moisturizer it needed.  After I applied this lotion my skin still felt tight, I thought maybe I just was being stingy and not using enough and upped the amount of pumps, still same results.  I didn't want to face the fact that what I thought was going to be a perfect moisturizer had failed me, but it had.  I have a hunch that because this  is for oily skin there is something in it that is just not good for my face, plus the argan was probably added in to help control oil production not keep me super moisturized like I had hoped.  I'm still using this lotion because I spent $35 and there is still a ton left, but I do not think I would repurchase it.  Until I give in and buy a new moisturizer, I have been mixing pure argan in with it and my face has felt a little better...but still I know I can do better! That being said if you do have oily or blemish prone skin, I bet this would work miracles!  It smells nice but not overpowering and absorbs quickly into my skin.  Plus I know its silly but i love the packaging on these products, it looks so nice lined up in my bathroom!
