Pros:It made my skin feel sooo soft and toned it out a little bit, also made my hair shiny, soft, and a little bit thicker!
Cons:None yet.
Bottom Line:I read alot of reviews on here and saw that it didnt work with some people. Why not? Its only been a couple weeks now that i have been using it, my YACK-NE(acne) has only improved a little bit. I hope i dont get a big bad break out,Like theys other people did. I dont want to have to cut the top layer of my face off. I hope in the long run this really works for me. Im so tired of looking. Other then that my face feels smoother and i got a nice healthy shine! It better keep up like this. Good luck 2 me and all of you out there using jojoba oil.

Pros:Makes your skin SO soft, wonderfully moisturizing! Inexpensive! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Don't be scare to put this oil on your face! Please try it!
Cons:Oil can get on the outside of the bottle, making it awkward to handle or travel with...and yes, they really need to consider putting a dropper on this thing! It can be easy to put too much!
Bottom Line:First of all, I'm about 99% sure it does not matter if you use the "Organic" kind or the regular kind...I mean really, do you think the Desert Essence farmer decided to put chemicals on some of the plants and not the others? I bet they are both organic! They just make more money off it by putting the word on the bottle. ANYWAY. I have been on Tazorac for about 6 months and started using Jojoba about 2 weeks ago. Prior to the jojoba, I was very disappointed in my Taz. I feel that the jojoba is making my taz work better! In the evening, I first I wet my face, then I apply 2 drops Jojoba, and 1-2 tea tree, let it soak in, then apply taz, then tea tree for spot treatment. In the morning, I wash my face, ACV/lemon toner, then put 1 drop jojoba, 2 tea tree, let soak in, apply SPF, then make-up! This has cleared up my acne dramatically! My skin is really starting to feel beautiful. Doubles as a great eye make-up remover! [link removed] on sale (non-organic kind)!

Pros:My cheeks seem a little softer.
Cons:Gave me the worst break out of my life. It wasn't just a purging phase, I used it for over two months and it got worse and worse. Expensive too.
Bottom Line:I'd read about the 'miracle' that is jojoba oil and the oil cleansing method all over the internet. Most people seemed to sing its praises so I thought I'd give it a go. After a couple of weeks of cleansing with Jojoba and Castor oil at night my skin gradually got worse, I thought it was purging so continued to use it. Over 7 weeks have passed and my skin is worse than it has ever been, pimples all over my face in places I have never had them before. I've finally realised that it is not working for me, I just wish I'd stopped sooner as I now have a much bigger mess to deal with! This method works for many, but not for everyone.

Pros:Cheap, safe, natural, does it all
Cons:If you don't keep up the nightly ritual, the benefits fade fast. Doesn't treat existing acne.
Bottom Line:When I first used this I had a 2 week breakout. I stuck it out and after that I was pretty much zit free for a couple months! But then I got tired of the whole ritual associated with massaging it in and tissuing it off so I stopped. Skin went back to normal in about a week. But if you're not lazy, try this and stick out the first couple of weeks. While using this, people were definitely noticing. My boyfriend even said I looked radiant. Wow!

Pros:its ok to use on your body.
Cons:clogged my pores (NO i didnt use too much, 2-3 drops after cleansing my face) and didnt help with redness at all
Bottom Line:wow with how many people had success, I thought it'd help fade red marks from accutane.. I was damn wrong. Not only did it seem to clog my pores, but it DIDNT even help with red marks. Aveeno ultra calming moisturizer did a waaaay better job with redness.

Pros:Used only one day and blackheads on my nose are nearly invisible
Cons:a bit greasy, can't wear make-up over it
Bottom Line:I was amazed. I have always had blackheads on my nose and cheeks but I mixed this with my Neutrogena Healthy Skin moisturizer last night and applied it before bed. This morning my pores were tiny, no visible blackheads! I have tried everything to get rid of those and nothing has ever worked. I used jojoba because my skin has been dry and flakey but apparently blackhead clearing is just an added benefit. I do wish I could use it in the mornings. I may start when I get this stubborn blemish to disappear, then I won't need to wear make-up anyway. I will continue using it and hopefully give an update to see if there are any adverse effects, so far, none.

Pros:Moisturizes well...
Cons:I got a bunch of little white bumps coming to the surface within minutes of putting this on my forehead..
Bottom Line:I was really excited to try this after reading all the great reviews, but I'm really unsure right now. I washed my face with it and then noticed my really dewy complexion. I loved it and I put another drop on my face as a moisturizing, but then suddenly I noticed, minutes later, my forehead was breaking out into all these little milia-like bumps. I immediately washed it off with some Cetaphil and baking soda and now I'm way too scared to use it again.. I don't know what to do cause I'm really eager to try this product but I'm so scared at how my skin's gonna react overall. Could the oil be bringing the junk up to surface? Would my skin get better if I continue use? I am going nuts here and I think I'm gonna wear an aspirin mask until I decide to try to jojoba again...

Pros:Easy to apply, dries nicely,
Cons:Non
Bottom Line:A little goes a long way!!! All you need is 1 squirt/tilt of the bottle to cover you entire face with a little left over to massage unto your body/hair etc. I have a funny feeling that those who say they look greasy/oily are using too much! It quality not quantity people. This is a wonderful liquid wax. I have oily skin and I sue it during the day under my SPF and foundation. I also dab a little under my eyes before bed. My skin appears smoother, junk appears to make it to the surface faster and my pores does not look congested!

Pros:OMG! Jojoba Oil made my red marks significantly fade in only two days! It made my skin clear, and healed the remaining two spots I had. Now my skin is clear, and amazingly soft, as it is a great moisturizer!. The best thing to use on you skin, PERIOD
Cons:Can be alittle messy, and a hastle to apply, but when you have got used to it, it's easy and fine.
Bottom Line:The best thing since sliced bread, everyone needs to try this, as to me this is a miracle product, and it's natural!

I am using NOW Jojoba Oil 16Oz, amazing value, and it's pure.
