Now Foods Almond Oil, 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)

Bought this as a base moisturizer prior to putting on lotion. My skin is very dry at baseline and this is a good base to use coming right out the shower Pros: smells good, affordable, easy application Cons: None that I can think of

I use this oil all the time for homemade products such as sugar scrubs. Its light and does not leave my skin feeling greasy. I tend to have greasy skin on my face so this works great. It has a nice smell which is not real strong either.

I don’t use any other brand of almond oil - I have been able to use this for my skin care, hair care, for cooking, makeup remover, you name it. I’ve been using this for years and it has always worked incredibly well! Especially with my dry hair and ashy skin

I use this moisturizer on my face and body! At night on the face. I have added essential oils to enhance the benefits of this product!

I bought this to use as a base oil for Body Butters etc...I ran out of moisturizer and opened one to put on my face alone and I love it! I can not use Coconut oil for some reason and this is not causing bumps or itchy rash! It has no smell that I can tell which I dont mind. I have used this in my lip balms also and it works perfectly. I will buy from here again!

Loves how this oil nourishes and moisturizes my skin and hair.

Actually I like this oil so much that I used it daily after bathing to keep my skin soft and to prevent dryness.

After finishing a single bottle, I reordered the 2 pack. I am an adult with acne prone skin on chin and cheeks, along with dry patches along laugh lines and eyebrows. I use this oil on my dry spots on my face, and also as an all over body moisturizer. The trick is putting it on as soon as you dry off from a hot shower or bath, that way your body soaks up the oil and it will dry fast and penetrate the skin deeper. Apply it that way, then try applying it when your skin is cold and you will see what I am talking about. Reaping the benefits of this oil, and also shea butter, is all about learning and accepting that it needs to be applied in a more specific way than ordinary store bought lotions. If you apply it any old way then yes your skin will feel greasy due the oil not penetrating your skin as well, so more oil sits on top of the skin instead of moisturizing it. I actually hated using this stuff at first, until through trial and error I learned how my body absorbed it effectively. After awhile, when you go back to using store bought lotions you will notice how they leave a thin plasticy coating that feels kind of like dried hair conditioner on your hands, because guess what... there are types of synthetic chemicals that are basically liquid, elastic forms of stabilizers in these lotions that are like liquid plastic. And you dont want that crap getting absorbed in your body over years and years. From the crap I went through seeing my normal healthy body degenerate over the years to building up such a high intolerance and pain for synthetic ingredients in food like stabilizers and preservatives, I now know that this stuff has the potential to permanently mess up your health. It happens over a long period of time, but it does happen. It is important to not let your body absorb synthetic toxins in store bought moisturizers, use natural ones instead. They actually help heal your skin.

Ive purchased this item multiple times. Now Foods almond oil is a good quality carrier oil, which is what I use it for. For me, its an acceptable substitute for jojoba, which has become prohibitive due to the prices. To be brutally honest, Mountain Rose Herbs would be my first choice, but with shipping costs, and because the quality is so similar, I choose the Now brand.

Amond oil doesnt clog pores like coconut oil, so I switched to this. Im on my third bottle. This brand is extremely high quality for sensitive skin. The smell is very mild. Use after the shower when wet for the best results. This is a good carrier for essential oils. I used this through chemotherapy when I had to go completely natural and unscented on all skincare. Its a winner. I chose NOW because its my favorite brand of pure essential oils. Highly recommended.
