| Pros | Leaves skin velvety and moisturized. Soaks in, doesn't make me break out. Very very mild odor. |
|---|---|
| Cons | The bottle won't fit in my purse and I don't have a travel size of jojoba for the gym. Can leave you a little greasy looking, but easy to fix by using a bit less. |
| Bottom line | Very nice stuff. I massage 6 drops into my skin on top of my moisturizer (Acne.org Moisturizer). Started using it because the moisturizer didn't adequately control flakeyness. Doesn't quite have the lasting power I would prefer for a lip treatment, so I usually follow it up with a lip balm. I don't tend to use it in my eye area because my eyes usually go blurry after I do that. |

| Pros | Best makeup remover ever!!!!!!!!!!!! The price may be the best out there. |
|---|---|
| Cons | It's too shiny in summer and not moisturizer enough for my skin in winter. |
| Bottom line | So I bought it after reading lots of rave here and was a little disappointed because it doesn't do much for my skin, or my hair. I feel like it stays on my face all day but doesn't sink in and moisturize. I tried it with my usual moisturizer and felt it work a lot better , but still not moisturizing enough in winter. Then I tried using it as a makeup remover and totally fell in love. I apply it on damp face, massage and appy my facial cleanser as usual. It's the most efficient, gentle and moisturizing makup remover I can see, leaves my skin clean, smooth and soft. I also like to use it with my body lotion too. Oh and I LOVE the bottle, which is easy to use, and never leak and hygiene. And the price can't be beat. I use A LOT ( about half a teaspoon) each time and still have a lot to go after 9 months. If you just use it to moisturize, it'll last you FOREVER!!!!! So if it works for you , congratulation. You found the best natural, organic and also the cheapest moisturizer |

| Pros | leaves skin feeling amazingly smooth, removes blackheads (who knew?!), reduces red marks, evens out skin tone, does not feel oily if applied less n massaged in. Only 1 or 2 drops needed on a DAMP face so not as expensive as people think. skin glows. |
|---|---|
| Cons | none |
| Bottom line | Been on Dan's jojoba for less than a week but the improvement in my acne and shiny skin s unbelievable! I always wanted something natural to work my skin but unluckily, nothing worked,not even aloe or fruit fasts etc. I have tried retin a cream with some success but it was leading to more blackheads and the retin a gel was too drying and made me break out like crazy.i have tried retin a twice for 6 months.i cleared up the 1st time and kept breaking out the 2nd time.so i guess its efficacy wears out. BP burns.nontheless, i wanted something that i could use even while trying to get pregnant and retin a was not the answer. I'm shocked at how well jojoba oil works. I paid for international shipping for this oil but it was so worth it! i massage it in the morning and night...in the morning only 1 or 2 drops on damp face...at night maybe 3. massage it in. it should not sit on your skin. less is more. i also steam wi washcloth face a few nights after massgin the oil, wash off, msg again.sleep |

| Pros | Curbs the dryness and flakiness caused by BP. Leaves my skin feeling softer and healthier than I have ever had |
|---|---|
| Cons | Makes me look shiny. |
| Bottom line | I never would have thought that any kind of "oil" could be used on the face. But sure enough, my skin has taken to Jojoba Oil very well. It does a great job of curbing the red and flaky skin caused by the BP. |

| Pros | Extremely gentle and deeply moisturizing without being too oily or thick feeling! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Smells a bit nutty and does not absorb completely, so it cannot be kept on face during the day or overnight. Doesn't do anything for acne, but this is to be expected. |
| Bottom line | I love this product! I've had my bottle since June, and I just keep finding more uses for it! In the summer it's perfect for sunburned skin, and in the dry fall/winter weather I rub it into the callouses on my feet. The skin on my face is normally oily, but also very sensitive. In the winter, however, it becomes dry to the point of being painful, so lately I've been using the jojoba oil as a super-moisturizing treatment about 2X a week. I gently rub it all over my face, let it sit for an hour, and then wash it off with Dove soap. Afterward my skin looks toned, even and feels very soft. I am especially grateful for this product, as I cannot use the Acne.org moisturizer (it burns my face). Overall I am a very pleased customer! :) |

| Pros | This stuff rocks. It won't cause any blemishes. It is totally organic, scentless, and mixes easily into moisturizers. It will keep your skin really soft and free of flakiness. It is also a great moisturizer around the eyes and is non-irritating. |
|---|---|
| Cons | It is an oil. So it is oily. But mixed into moisturizer it absorbs really well and smoothly and makes your whole face look fresh and radiant. |
| Bottom line | I really recommend adding this into the acne regimen. Mix a couple drops into any moisturizer you use. You need so little each time that a bottle will last you forever. It makes the moisturizer so much nicer! |

| Pros | Its organic. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Leaves an oily residue on the skin, has a somewhat repulsive scent, doesnt moisturize nearly as well as the Acne.org moisturizer. |
| Bottom line | There is little reason to add this to your regimen. Stick with the moisturizer and only the moisturizer to keep the flakes at bay. |
| Recommended | No |

| Pros | It gets rid of flakes so well its not even funny. Also it doesn't break me out, it might even help keep me clear, though the regimen is working so well it might just be that |
|---|---|
| Cons | Absolutely none, seriously |
| Bottom line | Its really easy to use, i mix it with my moisturizer, like 2-4 drops with a half a pump of lotion on my palm. Apply to dry/flaky/irritated areas. If your face is feeling tight at all this stuff will keep that tightness away all day by applying it once, if you mix it with lotion it will not make your face greasy either. |

| Pros | This multi-purpose moisturizer is natural, affordable, and KEEPS MY SKIN CLEAR! |
|---|---|
| Cons | None - but can be a little greasy/oily/shiny on the face if used with another moisturizer. Why didn't I start using this years ago? |
| Bottom line | I have mild but annoyingly persistent acne. There's always some kind of blemish on my face. It gets worse with stress, hormones and lack of sleep. I started using this oil after my skin started flaking/getting an allergic reaction from the BP regimen. I was ready to abandon the regimen completely until I read in the acne.org chatrooms to use jojoba oil for flakiness. Not only did the oil get rid of the dryness, but it has also faded some of my acne scars. As an experiment, I stopped using the BP regimen completely and just started using Dan't jojoba oil and nothing else. Amazingly, my skin didn't produce any new breakouts! Now I just use BP for spot treatments and the jojoba oil helps the pimple to heal faster and leaves no scars. I no longer get those horrible, painful cystic pimples that spreads or takes forever to go away. I can't believe after using dozens of expensive brands/chemicals, etc. this was the only thing that has cleared my skin! Thank you, Dan. I am so g |
