jojoba oil - initial "purging"??

I know many of you use jojoba oil...this board convinced me to try it! I've been using it for about 2 weeks, and while it does make my skin soft I think it's also causing it to break out. I know it's not supposed to, but I believe it is the source as nothing else in my skin regimen has changed - though I guess it could be a huge coincidence. I've read that it can cause you to breakout initially. Did anyone else experience this and get over it? How long can I expect my skin to be like this? Or should I just assume jojoba isnt for my skin...? Thanks for any input.

I had that problem. My skin just needed time to adjust, but once it did the jojoba ensured I had no flakes. I don't remember how long it took to adjust, I just know it did. I never broke out horribly though. So it's yr call. If it's minor, I'd keep at it. But if the breakouts are pretty bad I'd think about stopping.

Did your skin clear on the jojoba oil? I'm a week in and still getting small breakouts I didn't get before. Not sure whether to stop or not?
