Okay so I have been on the regimen for about a month now and I recently started to get the dry flaky skin so I decided to mix a bit of 100% jojoba oil into my moisturizer at night time (I find it too oily under my make up for the day) if I am going to be at home all day I will mix it in my moisturizer during the day also, anyways! I haven't had much of pimples and once I started mixing jojoba into the regimen I few like I started breaking out! I've read post on here but they were from 2010 or so people were having the same break out issue. Anyone else recently have this issue? I also bought my oil at Naturals Grocery store not from Acne.org. Should I keep using it because it's cleaning out pores? Or stop idk what to do :(

I have the same experiences :(( 
I have used the jojoba for 5 days and i have gotten 3 new breakout afterwards. I don't really know what to do either because dan's moisturizer is way to lightweight for my dry and flaky skin. I've also tried the Cetaphil moisturizing cream, but it seems like it's breaking me out too. Think i'm going to keep on with the jojoba to see if it was just a coincidence :/ 
Would like to hear what you decide to do. :)

Hi,

Stop using jojoba oil!. it's obviously doesn't suit you! Use simply moisturizer(no acids) I notice myself when I started taking orally flaxseed oil and vitamin E, my skin improve dramatically! don't use any scrubs it can make things worse.

The timing might be the issue. After a month into the regimen was when my massive breakouts started.

Remember, acne doesn't come out a day after you use a product. Usually this starts a week or so before it actually shows up on your face. So it could still be your skin purging from starting the acne.org regimen.

jojoba oil is one of the only essential oils I can slather on my skin and not risk a breakout. Interesting to see different results.

I had the same issue with Jojoba oil, it's too oily for my skin and it makes me breakout.
I am using Argan Oil instead, it's super moisturizing and it absorbs really well into the skin, no greasy feeling, and it has the same benefits as Jojoba Oil.
