Review: Josie Maran Argan Exfoliating Cleansing Powder

Josie Maran Argan Exfoliating Cleansing Powder ($40 for 2 oz.) is a gentle daily exfoliant infused with finely crushed Argan shells, rice powder, and several antibacterial and antioxidant-packed powerhouses. These active ingredients buff away dead skin, reduce the appearance of age spots and blemishes or blackheads, and even out your skin tone. It is recommended by the brand to use it as a spot treatment for blemishes, as an all over face mask or as a lip scrub.

The powder itself is fine and smells slightly citrusy, making it the perfect gentle morning exfoliant. I've only used it with water so far because I don't have a cleansing oil to work with it (water and cleansing oil are recommended for best results), and so far I like what it's done. As someone who's constantly trying out new skincare products, it's often difficult to determine long-term results, but immediate and short-term are much easier. My skin definitely appears brighter and glows just a bit more after exfoliating with this. If you're interested in trying an exfoliator outside the normal realm, give this one a shot.

I was given this for consideration from Josie Maran but am not being influenced by any opinions but my own.
