Shea Terra Egyptian Black Seed Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Oil | All Natural & Organic Oil to Boost Immune System, Improve Hair Growth & Skin Tone, Manage Dry Skin, & More - 8 oz

I've tried almost every skin cream on the market for wrinkles and hyper pigmentation.I decided to give this a try as there were some good reviews and it didn't break the bank like somedrugstore/ department store brands can. It doesn't smell nice, but it's not awful. Just very greenlike a natural product should.First night I used this I had been at the beach, I was wind/sun burned and my face was very red. By the next morning I was normal color and not tight or itchy feeling. I also should add that I wasn't greasy, even after applying it just goes right into your skin. It's been a week and still I'm not overly oily.I also do micro needling, and this is a great product for afterwards! It heals the micro holes over night and any redness is gone by morning. My wrinkles look smoother (more plumped not so deep) and my skin is getting a nice even glow. I really like this stuff, and it feels good knowing what exactly I'm putting on my skin as opposed to store brand creams/lotions where I can't pronounce half of the ingredients. I would recommend this product :)

Update - 11/27/12I ordered a second bottle and this one is very smooth. It also has a dropper lid instead of a pump, which works much better for this thick, creamy oil. I am still using it as a face moisturizer, and while my skin hasn't become perfect, it stays moisturized without adding awful chemicals to my skin, which I can't say for most other moisturizers.**************************************************************************************I've had this tamanu oil for three months now. I got it because I have very sensitive skin and it's natural and organic. The consistency of the oil has always been odd to me. It's oily but also grainy. Since this oil comes in a bottle with a pump, and the graininess clogs the pump, making it ineffective, I'm hoping mine is a fluke. For anyone else who's tried it, was it grainy for you?Using it to moisturize my face after a shower, it leaves tiny bits of the graininess all over my skin, which I have to wipe off once the oil's absorbed in. I don't like that part because it looks dirty and I wonder how much of the oil (& my money) is wasted in clumping/graininess. Still, I really like this oil and am willing to give it another shot to see if the graininess is atypical.Why I love this oil: I cut the tip of my thumb with a mandoline 5 days ago. It was fairly deep and in a slit/"v" shape. Gross, bloody, and painful. I used neosporin on it with a band-aid for the first 3 days (cleaning & changing at least 1x/day) with little change in the size of my cut and left it bare yesterday. Last night, I decided to try a little tamanu oil in place of neosporin. This morning, it looks like either side of the cut has begun growing back together so my thumb doesn't look like it's splitting in half down the middle. I am impressed. That's enough reason for me to buy another bottle once this one runs out. If the next bottle is grainy, I'll just return it and try another brand.

I have combination skin that is acne prone. I use Retin A and when I am on it my skin is super sensitive (I use it on and off since you're only supposed to use it for 2 months at a time--read up on it, most doctors won't even tell you this information, but it harms your liver tremendously if you use it for more than 2 months at a time). Anyway, regardless of whether I am on Retin A or not this oil is perfect for my skin. One squirt is enough for my whole face. I usually put a moisturizer on top of it after it's been absorbed (about 5 minutes).I also use this on my body: 1 pump of my lotion + 1 pump of argan oil per each body part and my skin has never been so soft and smooth before.So far I've only used it once in my hair after swimming in a pool at a BBQ. I put a squirt in my hand and ran it through my hair as best I could and focused on my ends. I did that several times and when I shampooed my hair it didn't feel stripped like it usually does after being in a highly chlorinated pool all day.I've also noticed that my cuticles and hangnails are significantly dimished...Usually I have a TON of hangnails that I pick at (gross I know), but since I don't have anymore hangnails there is nothing to pick at, so my hands look great!What can I say...this stuff is amazing!PS--I also purchased a few other brands of argan oil on here and they were all rancid. This is the only one that I received that was organic, cold pressed, and fresh.
