Argan Oil

Cleaner choiceReviewed September 18, 2026

A vitamin E-rich oil from the argan tree, balanced between oleic and linoleic acid.

What it does
Emollient & barrier
Our take
Well tolerated by most people and not on the pore-clogging lists, though richer than hemp or grapeseed. Good on dry skin, less obviously right for oily.

Best for
Barrier repair · Dryness & hydration · Aging & firmness
Skin types
Dry · Combination · Any skin
Can it clog pores
Low risk. It is not on the acne clinics' pore-clogging lists. This flag is for the face only, it does not apply to body, hair or home care.
