Jojoba Oil

My acne used to be pretty bad, moderate to moderately severe, which left tons of PIH and some light scarring. I've finally been able to clear up some of my acne with a holistic skin care regimen and decided to turn to the remnants of old acne. So, having heard excellent things about Jojoba, I decided to use it as a moisturizer. I got organic jojoba oil, but it may not have been first-pressed or unrefined (I figured organic = unrefined, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't, and it needs to be unrefined). For the first few days, I thought I'd hit the jackpot. But I got a terrible breakout by the end of the week--in places I NEVER got pimples. If classes weren't going to start so soon, I'd have definitely stuck with it to see if it was just the IB. I'm pretty sure it was IB because of the unusual places I broke out, and I'm sure this stuff is really a great thing if you've got time to let your skin purge, but if you've only got a few weeks, this might not be what you want to try. If my skin still looks iffy by next summer, I'll give it another shot. Now, I need to clear up my poor face again.

does a great job for moisturizing and flake control but bottom line is it broke me out after using for a few weeks. i gave it 2 stars for moisturizing and flake control however the fact that it causes some skin types to break out and in my case SEVER break out with cysts it loses a good rating. for some this might be a great product however its put me back in my regime by atleast 3 weeks due to the length of time itll require for my skin to repair itself.

I have been using jojoba oil for a few months and love it! It does cause your pores to purge so there is an increase in pimples at first but once that stops you are left with super soft, smooth skin. Something I did to help speed up the purging process was to mix jojoba oil with a 1/2 teaspoon or so of baking soda, which I used as a scrub every other day. The baking soda acts as a mild exfoliant and helps slough off the old skin and clear out the debris. My favorite benefit of jojoba oil is how much it has normalized the oil production in my face. I used to go through a pack of blotting papers a week and now I don't use any! No other moisturizer, matifying gel, etc. has ever worked this good.

I wish that i would have come across jojoba oil years ago. It's amazing for hair (even extension hair hehe) and for face because it doesn't cause any irritation (atleast for me) and you only need few drops a day. It's not only good for acne prone persons but it's also great for hands because especially here in finland the temperature tends to get so low in the winter that my hands are like dry bread and jojoba wakes them up from the nightmare. I also use it around my eyes on damp skin because its soooo moisturizing and soothing! As people say, it's also a perfect lip balm. If it's not a miracle then it's not.

I've heard only good things about this product, so I finally decided to try it. I add it to my spf moisturizer every day and to my night moisturizer at night. It immediately made my skin freakishly soft. I have definitely noticed that my pimples are dramatically smaller. Lately I've been getting a few cystic acne pimples that won't come to a whitehead. But ever since I've been using the jojoba oil I've been getting very tiny pimples that go away in literally a day. I really love jojoba oil, AND it's natural...there's no alcohol in it which will actually dry your skin even more (ironic that alcohol is put it moisturizers)

i have been using organic Jojoba oil for about a week and i love it. it makes my skin feel so soft and smooth. im not sure what its doing to help my acne but my skin feels great!

love it! i use it in my hair and on my lips sometimes. its uses are endless! doesnt cause my skin to break out. i've been off of acutane for about 4 months and using jojoba oil for about a month. i've seen a VERY big difference personally. my skin isnt as oily and its smooth. thank god. i plan on continuing to use it bc for once im gettn results.

Okay, so I was enticed by all the reviews and research I did on this stuff to somehow miraculously hydrate as well as combat blemishes. Woeeee...I gave it a good try - about a month and a half. Long enough, right to see if this stuff works? I was purging horribly w/plugs that never seemed to stop and developed some extra stuff, too, like continual whiteheads and other full-blown pimps - everywhere. Yuck. I finally couldn't take it anymore when I realized it just wasn't working, and now I'm going back to what worked for me a year ago to achieve perfect skin: -Thoroughly Clean Face Wash w/Extra-Gentle BufPuf -Baking Soda Paste w/h2o (in shower 2-3xwk, as needed) -Proactiv Toner, Lotion Hope this helps some of you to decide whether to try it or not - try new things slowly, do a test patch first!

I bought the 90% jojoba and 10% vit E oil and I have added quite a bit of manuka oil to this mixture, not sure how much but as I use it up I add more manuka to increase the concentration. I apply with a cottom ball. I wash with dr bonners soap, then apply this 2x a day. I am using other remedies sporadically to exfoliate and treat, like calamine lotion to spot treat, drinking ACV every day, steaming my face and apply sulfur mask a few times a week, exfoliating with salycilic acid or a salt scrub a few times a week also. It's not perfect yet, but it's getting better and I'm not irritating my skin with the harsh BP any longer so I'm happier about that. I'm 35 years old so most OTC products end up just drying out my face without really treating the acne.

This doesn't work on my face as a moisturizer. I read about people using it to massage into their pores and then rinsing..it was supposed to loosen clogged pores or somehing I guess..didn't work for me...left my skin looking quite strange and broke me out. Its good as a scalp treatment tho.
