Pros:It's affordable, it softens the skin, it reduces the amount of my own oil, works well with other products.
Cons:the bottle sucks. You need very little and the bottle pours too much.
Bottom Line:I was the acne king until I started using Jojoba. I have found that if I add 2 to 3 drops of the oil mixed with a quarter size amount of aloe-vera it makes the best facial moisturizer and tonic for your scalp. It has almost eliminated my acne. I have been using it for about 9 months now and my skin regularly get better and better. And the aloe helps sooth the skin and helps with the effects of the sun.

Pros:doesn't feel oily, smells good
Cons:the bottle. when u use the squeezy top too much comes out.
Bottom Line:I have very oily/acne prone skin. i've tried proactive, acnefree, diff benzoly peroxide, spot creams, u name it. everything would work for a while only to get worse later. HOWEVER, jojoba is the best thing ive come across. i bought it from wholefoods and have been using it for over 3 weeks now. the first day i noticed that my face was already soft, it just felt great. just make sure u dont use too much. i open the bottle top and have my palm against it so that too much wont come out. the first week i noticed that i broke out a lot on my chin but then by the end of the second week i noticed a dramatic change. even my old red spots are starting to go away and ive never had my face this clear. i use it twice a day after i wash my face (mornin n night). it goes well under make up and i dont use any other moisturizer, excpet sunblock when going outside. my face is also NOT that oily anymore. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. +++++++++

Pros:it's amazing.
Bottom Line:PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEAAASSEEE stop everything you use on your face and just purchase jojoba oil. It works incredibly and it makes your skin F-L-A-W-L-E-S-S. Just make sure everyhing you put INTO your body is healthy..veggies and fruits.. WATER WATER WATER.. and then only apply Jojoba oil on your face. You want to look your best and have a dewy, toned, flawless face? Jojoba Oil is your answer (and of course a healthy diet!)! Actually, to be honest with you, your answer to perfect skin is using natural products, and that's what this is.

Pros:Continuously clears skin of acne
Leaves skin smooth
Improves skin's texture
Cons:Comes out of the bottle so friggin fast!
Bottom Line:My skin was HORRENDOUS, and on the verge of a downward spiral. NOTHING was working! I went to the dermotologist several times, tried birth control, and different meds. This is what cleared my skin! I'm not 100% clear yet but i've seen such a dramatic improvement without any purging in a short time! This is a miracle for me!

Pros:Leaves skin feeling soft, reduces oiliness and pimples
Cons:packaging makes it a little hard to dispense without getting it all over the bottle
Bottom Line:I love this product! After moving to tx from ca, my skin started acting up. i had never had problem skin before, and nothing i tried seemed to be a permanent fix. after trying retin-a micro, my skin got dry and flaky and i still broke out. i decided to dump all of my products including make-up, face washes, and moisturizers. i stopped using everything all together to allow the natural good bacteria to regrow on my face. i only use this oil to wash my face and moisturize. i dampen my face and rub it into my face for about a minute and then rinse and pat dry with a clean towel. i've been doing this for a few weeks now and my skin has improved dramatically. less is always better!

Pros:very gentle
no adverse reactions
Cons:none!
Bottom Line:This stuff is AMAZING! I have spent a LOT of money on acne products, and this one little, all natural miracle has helped dramatically slow my oil production (and I have very oily skin!), and it has also reduced redness.

It's amazing how little is needed to moisturize my very dry skin, and it is not at all greasy feeling...but then again it's not truly an 'oil' either.

Pros:Very Gentle! Great moisturizer for ALL skin types. Because it resembles skin's own oil it seems to know what balance your skin needs.
Cons:Clogged my pores! Actually slowed my own oil production down way too much and made my skin drier...and I had oily skin!
Bottom Line:I am not sure about this overall. I definitely think this is worth a try for anyone. I would wash my face twice a day in the sink or shower and then I would wash with 3 to 4 drops of jojoba then pat dry. There would be some of it left on for moisture. Days later of doing this I noticed that my skin became really rough and eventually I broke out. I loved it at first but it seemed to stop my own oil production drying my skin out and irritating it to cause more breakouts. It clogged my pores :( bottom line...it is worth a try if used carefully and gently, you never know.

Pros:makes my skin soft and almost eliminates oil
Cons:can get a little expensive
Bottom Line:I started out by mixing a few drops of jojoba to aloe and using that as my moisturizer, but I didn't notice a difference...skin would be oily within an hour or so. Now what I do is this - I wash my face using the OCM method, tone with ACV, and take several drops of jojoba and massage it into my face, then "rinse" off with warm water, leaving behind a very light layer. And thats it. No additional moisturizer. My skin stays matte all day now! I used to have HORRIBLY oily skin. Probably the oiliest of anyone I know, and now I don't have that problem anymore. Yay! The only downside is that I go through a lot of jojoba, so it's a little expensive, but hey, it's worth it!
