I just started using Dan's jojoba oil three days ago, and I now have several white-topped pimples popping up around my face. I'd like to think that it is just the bacteria coming out, and that they'll be gone in a few days. Is jojoba oil supposed to make you break out when you first start using it, then clear up??? I think I like it, and maybe I just need to use less at first? Is the breaking out normal???

 

Thanks for your help!!!

I have never experienced Jojoba causing a breakout. I love the stuff.

 

The thing to keep in mind, is that you have acne and random whiteheads can popup at any time. The tendency is, to put it down to a new product. However, it's often likely we'd have broken out anyway. 

 

I'm sure the whiteheads will disappear just as quickly as they popped up.

I have seen some people on the forum complain about jojoba that it causes breakouts for them.

It's not suppose to, but you could be like other people, jojoba oil does not clog pores so I don't think it's a cause of whiteheads if anything.

Why not stop using it for a few days and see if there is improvement?

Thanks guys. I guess I just usually do NOT have this many whiteheads on my face, so I got worried:) I think I'll try lightening up the amount of jojoba oil and see if it helps a little bit. I agree that white heads are usual for acne prone, like me:), but like I said, I don't usually have this many all at one time. I really hope I'm not sensitive to it, because I have noticed a lot less flakiness on my face. Thanks agian!
