Jojoba Oil

I have very oily/acne prone skin. i've tried proactive, acnefree, diff benzoly peroxide, spot creams, u name it. everything would work for a while only to get worse later. HOWEVER, jojoba is the best thing ive come across. i bought it from wholefoods and have been using it for over 3 weeks now. the first day i noticed that my face was already soft, it just felt great. just make sure u dont use too much. i open the bottle top and have my palm against it so that too much wont come out. the first week i noticed that i broke out a lot on my chin but then by the end of the second week i noticed a dramatic change. even my old red spots are starting to go away and ive never had my face this clear. i use it twice a day after i wash my face (mornin n night). it goes well under make up and i dont use any other moisturizer, excpet sunblock when going outside. my face is also NOT that oily anymore. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. +++++++++

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEAAASSEEE stop everything you use on your face and just purchase jojoba oil. It works incredibly and it makes your skin F-L-A-W-L-E-S-S. Just make sure everyhing you put INTO your body is healthy..veggies and fruits.. WATER WATER WATER.. and then only apply Jojoba oil on your face. You want to look your best and have a dewy, toned, flawless face? Jojoba Oil is your answer (and of course a healthy diet!)! Actually, to be honest with you, your answer to perfect skin is using natural products, and that's what this is.

My skin was HORRENDOUS, and on the verge of a downward spiral. NOTHING was working! I went to the dermotologist several times, tried birth control, and different meds. This is what cleared my skin! I'm not 100% clear yet but i've seen such a dramatic improvement without any purging in a short time! This is a miracle for me!

This stuff is AMAZING! I have spent a LOT of money on acne products, and this one little, all natural miracle has helped dramatically slow my oil production (and I have very oily skin!), and it has also reduced redness. It's amazing how little is needed to moisturize my very dry skin, and it is not at all greasy feeling...but then again it's not truly an 'oil' either.

this is my third day of using jojoba oil, noticably less breakouts since starting, and my skin feels very healthy when i put it on (four drops, undiluted, once or twice a day all over face and neck). i think this will really do wonders for me based on how well it's worked so far. anyone who says it made them break out horribly already had those problems in their skin and the jojoba was just expelling them quicker, theyd have come out anyways so you might as well get it over with. though i suppose you could be allergic. anyways, i cant wait to have my face back.

If you have acne it's worth a shot. Not helpful to my husband who has eczema.

I have had acne since I was 11 years old, and everything that I have used has either been just a temporary fix, or made things worse. But since I have been using Jojoba oil for about 2 months I can honestly say that my skin has not looked this good in over 4 years, and that was when I was using acutaine. I have very sensitive skin that is alergic to just about everything. Salacilic acid, bp, all cleansers with sodium Laural sulfate, etc. So I switched to all natural products and it has been like night and day. I atribute much of the change to Jojoba oil. It isnt an oil, it is a wax ester that mimics the oil in your skin and tricks your skin into thinking that it has made enough oil, so it doesnt make as much. Thus, less acne. Here is what has changed my life: 1)wash: all natural face wash, 2)tone: witch hazel 3)moisturize: aloe (pure)mixed with 2-3 drops J oil 4)exfoliate: 2-3x a week baking soda mixed with raw honey (rub GENTLY) 5)spot treat: Tea Tree oil. It will work!

First of all, I would like to thank Lissa from Atlanta for posting her daily regimen!! I've been using Everyday minerals make-up + Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque + Jojoba Oil = no new pimples!! This is the first time in a loooooong time where I don't have to constantly run to the mirror to blot my face and cover pimples or acne marks. I had mild to moderate acne with no scarring but some red marks. After reading an amazing article in a magazine called ADBUSTERS about the harmful ingredients in cosmestics and beauty products, a more natural skin regimen was the only way to go.

There is not a better moisturizer out there. What I do is after I shower or wash up, I let my face air dry for just a minute or so, then I apply about 2-3 drops onto my fingertip and rub my fingers together lightly. Then, I gently apply it all over my face. This will keep you moisturized year round!

Make sure you get a high quality Organic one - many available on Amazon for really inexpensive prices ($9-$12). You want to ensure you aren't putting a bunch of chemicals on your skin or buy a cheap brand that mixes other oils in. This stuff works. I just use a small amount, about the size of a penny or few drops even, and I apply after I wash my face. I love this stuff. If you aren't convinced, do your own research on which types of oils are the most/least comedogenic (meaning how likely they are to clog up your pores). Coconut oil is NOT good for the acne prone. Organic Jojoba is a much better option. I got rid of all of my moisturizers. I'm going back to keeping it simple with my diet, hygiene, and overall general approach...and am definitely seeing a difference. Important note: I am also doing gluten free diet, which I'm certain is also helping the changes I'm seeing.
