I have been using jojoba oil for about 3 weeks now and I really like it. Jojoba oil is no cure but its somthing that I use in my daily skincare routine. I wash my face with a salicylic acid 2.0% cleanser then I use the jojoba oil.I rub in small circles a pretty small amount on my still wet face for about 1min then wash it off, I have found it not to be very agreeable as a leave on moisturizer for my face therefore this is how i use it and it has worked very well for me this way . I moisturize with clinique moisturizer in the morning after this process and I apply flax seed oil at night in generous amounts and this routine has been helping nicely to keep the bumps down and reduce redness. Also being gentle with washing and not picking or poking at your face helps alot.
So jojoba oil is definitly worth a shot in my opinion and overall its a really great product for your skin.

Great stuff for controlling dry areas on the skin! Although, not really sure about using all around my face because I have EXTREMLY oily skin :( Will it make the oiliness worse on my face if I use it or will it calm it down? hmm?

this stuff is bizarre. it has worked SO WELL for me, it's weird. i apply it to my face with damp hands onto damp clean skin, so it kind of "foams" up a little. doing it this way makes the oil easier to spread, and makes my face look less oily after application; i also think this helps to keep in moisture on my skin, as opposed to just a layer of oil sitting on my face. the jojoba oil soaks into my skin and after an hour at most, my skin looks perfectly normal, not dry and not oily. this really really helps with flaky skin, and makes my skin look better and feel tons better. since only washing my face every 2 days with purpose cleanser and putting on jojoba oil after washing it, my skin has improved ALOT, so much so that my friends have commented on it.

i'm not sure if it will clear up acne, but it works fantastically as a moisturizer. and thanks, 30nstillzits, for letting me know about jojoba oil!

I never noticed a great reaction from my skin as a moisturizer but I think it does make a good massage "oil" before you cleanse. I use it as a gentle massage and then I use an enzyme mask afterwards and this combination improved my complexion. but I have to say it's the perfect conditioner for my hair, wow, its so bouncy , its so shiney, its just shimmering. Use it before you shampoo, and then use a natural shampoo like from Aubrey Organics, you'' be amazed. Dont buy jojoba from a average store, get it wholesale and its a great buy.

I typically have very oily skin by the end of the day. I also have problems with black heads. I started using Jojoba oil about two months ago every morning after I wash my face and shower. It has dramatically reduced the excess oil and the blackheads. I love it so much, I have bought it for all of my friends and family for Christmas.

I have started to "wash" my face with a jojoba oil concoction morning and night. I use roughly 80% jojoba oil, 10% vitamin E oil, 20 drops green tea extract, 20 drops lavender oil, and 20 drops tea tree oil. I don't use anything else to cleanse or moisturize my face, just rub a generous amount of the oil into your face in a circular motion for about a minute. Next take a warm damp washcloth and wipe away loose debris and excess oil from your face. Do this morning and night and presto a glowing soft, smooth, complexion! I am not claiming that this is the ONLY thing I use to achieve clear skin but it is what I use as my topical acne treatment. I also am taking vitamins and drinking lemon water with green tea extract in it. My vitamin regimen consistes of 2 tbsp flax seed oil, 1000 mg garlic oil, 4 tablets of acidophilus & probiotic complex, 200 mg alpha lipoic acid and 1 high potency vitamin/mineral multi vitamin a day. I hope this helps someone else out there!

Great, great moisturizer. Though it didn't clear up my skin as quickly as tea tree oil did, jojoba oil did help to clean my pores out, and it left my face feeling soft and balanced (finally, a solution to combination skin!)

I had acne which started way back in 1998. Then after three years trying everything OTC nothing helped but a controlled diet and aloe vera(freshly cut from the leaf) onto my face. It went away and wow it didnt leave a single mark on my face. People used to remark at my face saying how good it looks. Now at 23, my acne has re-appeared. Though most of it is going but its leaving those red lesion marks. I am applying Jojoba oil with aloe vera and it really does work. I recommend to all those who have a similar case like mine.

Works great! I massage a lot of jojoba oil into my skin using circular movements and blackheads, etc, surface. Helps removes dead skin cells which facial scrubs simply doesn't.
