[White]

My experience so far...

Been using it about a week...

I cleanse/ pat dry/ apply a good amount of jojoba to moist skin then apply BP over it.

So far so good! my skin is softr and still gettting the effects of thebp!

[Dannie]

aw man...i dunno why im breaking out.. i know some people did...

if its normal i wont worry

[Charles Lee]

w00t I got some today.
Don't just quit the regimen if your switching to jojoba, use the oil and regimen for a week, then slowly start lowering the amount of BP until it's none. That'll help breakouts down. : - )

Im glad your skin is doing so well with the jojoba oil. Ive been using it also for maybe the past two or three months. Though my skin is not clear I no longer get cystic acne... Just in general my face looks better and my skin isnt nearly as oily. For some people I really do believe that the less products they use the better their faces will look.

I agree with that. After using so many products, it's really hard to tell what actually is working.

ive been using jojoba oil mixed with tea tree oil for a while and ive notice a few things...
- the pores on my nose, which are almost always clogged, are finally becomming unclogged
- blackheads are less noticeable
- i dont get huge zits anymore... just occassional whiteheads
- my skin is less oily during the day
- using more oil doesnt produce better or faster results... ive found that using 3-4 drops works best

how are people doing with this

[sourpunch]

ive been using it for 3 months so far. It is okay for me. I obviously still get pimples and cysts. That is why i am using taz rite now. I use the jojoba in the morning and taz at nite. im still using the jojoba b/c i like the smooth look it gives and am dont want to waste a whole bottle. i did see a slight decrease in oil--mind you, im extrememly oily, so ANY decrease, even if small, is worthy of praise.
it did not improve my redmarks significantly. my marks are extremely stubborn, so i think i will have to give it a couple more months before i can address this issue! actually, ive been on taz for 1month now and i think it does more for the redmarks/scars than the jojjoba--mainly b/c it shed my skin, whereas i think the jojoba makes the marks more softer looking.

i still think you should try it out. if anything, jojoba can be a great addition to your regimin, even if it really doesnt work for you (as in my case, so far).

How do you use this oil? Like a moisturizer? If I am using BP would I put it on before or after? How do you apply it? Just spalsh it on or apply with cotton?
Thanks.

does anyone think it a good idea to use this "regimen" while on accutane?
accutane is obviously drying me out (which is a good thing) and I got a moisturiser which is pretty good but still, my skintone at the moment looks so "stressed and damaged" due to accutane...so I'm wondering if jojobaoil could helpf with that....but then again I feel really unsure about applying oil to my face when I'm on a medication that works against oil production

[sourpunch]

u just apply it on your face like you would sunscreen. a little goes a long way and u absorb it on your face. i dont wash mine off. maybe some people do. i think it will go great with bp since sometimes its dries up your face so when you use the jojoba, it'll be soft and moisturized.
im not sure about using it while on accutane. dont worry about putting oil on your face especially when this is a good oil, that mimicks your natural sebrum. you mite get a breakout from it, so maybe it wont be good when on accutane since you'll already be breaking out a lot (that is, if youre concerned about breaking out more)?? i dont know, but its pretty good stuff!!

[narky]

im using proactiv, all three steps with the face refining masks every other couple days or so at night. When would be a good idea to put on the jojoba oil? or is this a horrible combination ? (i havent used jojoba yet)

[Connie08]

can i find it in a pharmacy?

No, probably GNC

[yankeemix]

I use jojoba oil AM/PM everyday..I like how smooth it makes my skin feel...

One thing you have to be careful about JO is that applying too much at a time is bad...

A little goes a long way!

[Keish]

ok. ya'll win.

i just bought jojoba oil from drugstore.com.
(this better work LOL)

have ya'll ever heard of Cuticura?
I also bought the original bar soap w/the oil, so I'll give that a go, and report back asap.

I love my jojoba oil. For all of you who didnt know, heres some more information about it that makes it even better....


First off, Jojoba oil closely resembles the oil produced by the human skin, also known as Sebum. This is good for people who have oily to very oily skin. If you apply this after washing the natural oil off your face, you skin will actually detect it and think that there is enough oil and stop producing it.

Secondly, to semi continue above, Jojoba oil is 100% non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic. Therefore when your skin thinks this is its natural oil and stops producing, theres no chance that jojoba will clog your pores. Sebum can actually clog your pores.

Third, Jojoba isnt a true oil. Its actually a liquid wax. But it never turns to solid. Therefore is penetrates your pores, mixes with your sebum and stays a liquid. Basically it helps to clean and clear pores. Now not as quickly as a BHA or AHA would, but it does help with the clogs.

Lastly, There are a few studies showing that jojoba oil has some anti-bacterial properties. Again, not as strong as Benzoyl peroxide or Tea tree oil, but is does have some effect.


Also if you didnt know, Jojoba oil is widely used natural acne treatment. Especially in western countries where they grow it.


Hope this info helps. If your curious to know more, go to google and search... jojoba oil acne .... just like that, you'll get tons of websites saying what i did above and even more.

[Keish]

cool stuff.

[babbs]

Where do you buy Jojoba oil? Can someone name a brand to buy?

Has this helped anyone reduce redmarks? Truly?
