Cons:
causes big, painful infected acne
I needed a product to deep cleanse my pores yet without over drying and harsh like most acne products. After reading about jojoba oil and all it's rave reviews that it deep cleanses and clear out all the junk inside pores, I went to WholeFoods and bought a bottle of Dessert Essence Jojoba Oil. At first I was reluctant to use it directly on my skin, therefore I mix 3 drops with Cetaphil and cleanse my face with it at nice, rinse clean with warm water. After the first night and the following morning, I feel my skin is very soft and much less dry. SO, I decided to stick to this new regime to see if it will further improve my skin. Over the course of 1 week, i started to get infected pimples (which I didnt have before, I only suffered from very clogged pores) I started to get more and more infected painful pimples as the week progresses adding Jojoba oil to my cleansing regime. I found that very odd so I decided to throw the bottle away and stop using it. Now that I've stopped, I no longer get big painful infected pimples. Jojoba oil may or may not work and it absolutely did not work for the better for me. I really advice people with acne go see a dermatologist....to seek professional advice. Should not simply rely on the web to cure any illness or disease.

Pros:
Very soft skin.
Absorbs instantly.
Reduces oil.
Cons:
none
After I cleared my skin with retin-A and fish oil supplements, I wanted something to make it soft and glow. Jojoba oil is wonderful. It's non greasy, didn't make me break out and best of all controlled my oil! Plus it's great to add other oils to it! I got 30ml for $3, which is plenty.

Pros:
Super soft, healthy, glowy skin.
If I squeeze something I won't wake up looking sick like I have the plague. I'll have glowy skin and a little wound with minimal redness that looks like it's healing well.
Blackheads and areas with black heads are less 'raised.' Far fewer blackhead on my forehead.
I have dry peely skin, especially if I squeeze pimples/blackhead but not since I've used this.
A little goes a really long way
Results seen in just a couple of hour
Cons:
I still have the same amount of blackheads on my chin and in the creases of my nose. They may even be a little 'blacker' but it could just be that there is no flaky white dead skin hanging around to conceal this.
Makes my hair a bit greasy cos my fringe gets goes all over my face.
Super amazing. No need for a moisturiser now. I don't know how I lived without it. Only use a little and apply downwards, gently with clean hands. Squeeze a pimple? After you wash the area and disinfectant jojoba it!

Pros:
soft skin so far
Cons:
none as of yet
I bought this item because i read the reviews from this website. I used it last night and this morning my skin did feel a difference. I started breaking out about a yr ago due to a lot of personal stress and now i'm taking tetracycline 250mg. I hope this really works because i've tried almost everything. From home remedies, over the counter products and acne facials and nothng has truly helped. I'll be posting if this oil helps my acne. I like it because everytime i get a pimple and it starts to disappear it leaves behind a very ugly dry patch that make up cannot correct and since last night i felt a difference in my dry skin. I'm sooo excited i really hope this works and helps others out!! I know how stressful it is to break out and have nothing work on you, but don't give up and just remember to NOT stress out over it stress can only worsen it. Good luck to everybody!

Pros:
feels nice on dry skin area. moisturizes semi-well. nice smell
Cons:
leaves pimples and bumps behind
I don't recommend this for use on face. I read somewhere that bacteria can grow on oil.

Pros:
My skin has been very very dry due to use from Dan's BP and living in a dry climate. So, I stopped the use of BP and bought his jojoba oil. The first time I applied it, it felt like my skin had been so thirsty, and this is exactly what it needed. It felt like for the first time in perhaps a year like I had newborn baby bottom skin! My lips also are a tad plumper now that their not constantly dry. I used to have to exfoliate every day!
Cons:
None.
I bought this for my extremely dry skin, and it has done exactly what it was made to do. I use if after I apply my Murad spot treatment, let it sit, then pat the excess off so that my makeup doesn't slide off from the oil. I also exfoliate my lips with it using a washcloth.

Pros:
works wonders, please give it a try, at first i was not convinced, and now i can't believe it skin much less oily!!!
Cons:
none
ok i've been using this product for about two weeks, my skin was very very extremely oily, and now the oil drecreased about 90%, please trust me, nature has everything we need!!

Pros:
Lightweight, very cheap in the States, leaves skin feeling hydrated.
Decreases oil production and minimizes pores and blackheads.
Cons:
Leaves my face feeling a bit greasy, but compared to when I used a Neutrogena moisturizer, it's much better! When I look in the mirror, my face barely looks oily (despite the feel).
Jojoba oil is a great and super cheap moisturizer. I got mine from Trader Joe's for $7 for a large bottle. Every morning and night, I use literally just a drop of oil and spread it on my face. It absorbs fast and leaves little residue. I used to apply it to wet skin, but my skin ended up looking more oily. Now I put a drop in the palm of my left hand and apply a little bit at a time with my right hand. I tried the baby brush method, but I realized I was breaking out in places I never broke out before so I stopped using the baby brush but I continued to use the jojoba oil. I'm pretty much clear of acne but I still have some blackheads on my nose. I extract every few days (it's getting less frequent!) and the extraction tends to leave the pores bigger. If you use jojoba oil, over time, it makes them smaller. Magic oil!

Pros:
*Gives your skin that youthful glow and healthy look.
*Excellent moisturizer especially if you're on accutane
*Over time during 2-3 months considerable reduction in red acne scarring.
*Can use on hair to make your hair glow!
Cons:
*Availability limited in New Zealand especially in its purest form
*A little pricey
*Don't wear this on during the day as it makes you shine - best to put it on at night.
Ok so i started using Jojoba oil about 4 months ago as a means to clearing up my red acne scarring. I had read alot of reviews before deciding to go with this - afterall its an oil and who in their right minds puts oil on their acne prone skin?
Not to fear, jojoba oil is the miracle oil kinda like god's gift to his children. Yes I did get the initial breakout by using jojoba but i stuck with it. 4 months later my skin glows, acne red scars have faded and I feel my skin heals faster from the odd pimple!
I've received compliments from friends and family - 'wow what are you doing to your skin - it looks so nice and you're glowing like a pregnant woman!!' Try this stuff. Please if you love yourself.
