Pros:

deeply penetrating, non-comedegenic, never goes bad (rancid), helps regulate your own skin oil production, so it is great for oily or dry skin.

Cons:

price

Jojoba is not actually an oil, it is a liquid wax. It's called "jojoba oil" for marketing purposes. It is molecularly VERY similar to sebum (the substance your own skin secretes). It's small molecular size allows it to penetrate deeply without clogging pores. It never goes rancid because it is a wax. Used daily on your face, while avoiding harsh soaps and detergents, you will see a reduction in blemishes after about a week of use.

Pros:

Reduces oil, natural, moisturizing, lessens breakouts, helps my makeup last all day, bottle lasts forever.

Cons:

None.

I love this stuff!! It's REALLY been helping my acne. It's pretty much cured my bacne; I've maybe had two tiny little pimples in the 6 weeks I've used it whereas I used to have consistent moderate bacne. I love the earthy, leathery smell of DKR's oil. My skin responded very well to this, and has gotten less and less oily as time goes on. For example, I used to have to re-do my makeup about noon because I was *so* oily. Now I might blot a little to get through the day, but I rarely re-do my makeup all the way (unless I have a special outing after work). My skin is so much less oily that my makeup's integrity is much improved! My acne is greatly reduced and that acne that I do get is MUCH smaller. Just not having to do my makeup twice every day is worth it to me (not only is that time consuming, and a waste of expensive makeup, but it risks further irritation).

Pros:

Clears up skin!

Cons:

No cons! Enough about the bottle, you get used to it.

The only thing that has EVER worked for me! A lot of reviews were from people with oily skin, but mine is super dry and can be "flakey" at times. This stuff helped my skin look healthy, evenly toned, and totally got rid of my acne. I would recommend it to anyone, it's practically a miracle product.

Pros:

Jojoba oil a cheap, effective, all-natural treatment for acne. Because it's all-natural, it's a lot healthier for your skin, since everything that is put on your skin is absorbed into your body.

Cons:

I can't think of any.

After using all natural products for 5 mos, My skin is perfectly clear, smooth, and glowy now...my pores appear smaller and my skin texture is wonderful.I've used all sorts of acne medicines, both OTC and prescribed (including accutane, proactiv, retin-a)over the past 6 yrs, but nothing worked, and most everything aggrevated the condition. Being the health-nut I am, I threw away every synthetic acne cream, gel, lotion and wash and converted my skin care regimen to all-natural products. I am now spending a fraction of my monthly skincare budget. I wash with all natural and organic cleanser (jason naturals D Clog) both am and pm. In the morning, I use 2 drops of jojoba oil with one drop of tea tree as my moisturizer, and I use Bare Escentuals (which is wonderful!). Every other night I apply a thin layer of virgin coconut oil on my face. I alternate that with diluted applecider-vinegar applied directly to the skin. I also mix epsom salts w/ my normal cleanser as a scrub 2x week.

Pros:

It works! My skin is soft, toned, hydrated.
Large pores are getting smaller.
No longer have to use moisturizer. I tried it because I have roseacea and tried everything to calm it. Finally after many years this works and its natural.

Cons:

At first I bought two brands. One with vit E and this one Dessert Essence, just pure Oil. The one with E, did make me break out a little and was very greasy. This one dessert essence, is pure and really you only need. Two drops.

Give your skin time to get aquainted with the oil. I have read all these pages, first you can't be allergic, I am, thats why I am using this all natural. This oil is most like your own oil so you cant be allergic. Second, as for mix with this and that, Try just a few drops to start, your not painting a house. It's a face and a few drops give it moisture. I myself have not had to use moisturzer since I got this oil. My thought on all the pimple comments. I have oily skin, large pores and roseacea, Since I got this oil, I have none. Buy it, take it slow, dont be adding in the kitchen sink with it. We tend to want everything MacDonald style. Give your skin and the oil time. Your face did not get this way in a week or two so give it a try. Others having breakouts, Look at what your washing your face with, make sure its clean before you apply oil. Someone said they use a product with aloe, aloe is something you can allergic to. A Clean cotton cloth and warm water does the trick, add o

Pros:

Great moisturizer

Cons:

gave me huge breakouts.

I have had a weird time with this jojoba oil. My first week, I thought it was a miracle product. My skin was very comfortable, soft, had a nice glow and was ot oily at all. Then, by the second week, I strated to break out in tiny little whiteheads. As I had read the reviews, I thought it was only the initial purge people were talking about so I continued using it. In fact I started using it twice a day to get rid of the breakouts faster. By the third week, I was having even more breakouts and my the end of the forth week I had to stop using it because I was having huge, painful bumps that just won't go away. I don't know if it is because I have an allergic reaction to it but I can't say that it did much good for my skin.

Pros:

-Absorbed by the skin, Does NOT cause acne,-Helps heal scarring/active acne, Natural, Non-irritating, Multi-use (hair,skin,nails) Is not greasy, Does not melt my makeup, BEST MOISTURIZER EVER!!

This product is fabulous! It has given me the softest smoothest skin. It is so different from any other moisturizer, because my skin actually absorbs it, I only need a couple drops, and it gets rid of flakes and dryness. I can be confident that it will not break me out, and that is most important to me. I will never use another moisturizer!

don't see anything but soothing skin
I apply jojoba oil on my face before i go to bed with hopeful intention that will reduce residual oil and acnes on it . At first, it causes me few pimples on my cheeks and my chin. i'm very dissapointed but still sticking with it for a while .It does'n help preventing or healing acnes but if you look for a natural moisturising , you've got the great deal

A very good moisturizing oil for the face!
This is one of my favorite oil moisturizers. It's light on the skin just put a few drops into your palm after you come out of the shower and apply it onto your face. The great thing about this oil is that it mimics your sebem so you pores don't overproduce oil that can make your face look greasy or shiny. A little goes a long way and this bottle will last a long time. I love that its a natural product
