Pros:

Smoothens and removes flakiness on your skin, shiny hair, removes dead skin cells, easy to apply, and glowing skin.

Cons:

If you put too much on your face, it will become so shiney and greasy. It is so expensive. One bottle cost me Php 999 thats more or less $20.00.

I recommend using this product to all people who has dry/oily skin but not with those have sensitive skin - varies on each individuals. I have a very oily skin and this product didn't break me out or made my skin more oily. It's just so expensive but worth it. Just give it a try even just for a week, if it would break you out then stop it and just you it on your hair or on your body.

Pros:

Relatively inexpensive
A little goes a long way. Have only used 2/3 of the bottle in about a year
Good quality!

Cons:

None. Container gets oily, but this really isn't a con. Heh. Dan must wish the bottle didn't last so long!

I love this! Never really thought about applying this to treat acne, but am thinking about it since reading other reviews. I have used it for other purposes though, almost daily. - moisurizing dry, itchy skin, shaving, and can be a lot of fun to use with a partner. Not really sure how much I paid at the time. Will definitely buy again before I run out!

Pros:

Shrunk my pores, is helping fade scars, makes my skin softer and is evening out my skintone.

Cons:

Made my skin itchy for a few days, kinda expensive and hard to find, hate the smell.

I was very hesitant when buying this, I thought to myself "how can oil help control oil??" I was pleasantly surprised It has helped a lot. My skin is a lolt softer, I see less blackheads, my scars are fading, and my pores are smaller. I use it at night instead of a moisturizer. I apply about five or six drops on a cotton ball and swipe around face especailly in the areas where i tend to breakout frequently. I only use it a night though because it tends to make your skin look shiney. It's also great as a lip balm and for hair. It took me a while to find it though, I am using the Now brand and I managed to locate it in a local health food store. The only real con i had with it was when I first started using it, it made me skin itchy. But that only lasted for about a week. I think it was worth it.

Pros:

Shrinks pores a bit
It evens out your skin tone
Helps heal new acne scars
Calms breakouts
Slows down oil production

Cons:

None. ITS A DEFINITE MUST TRY!!!

I said to myself if it worked I would post this for another fellow acne sufferer because everyone should be aware of it. Two weeks ago I was searching for things to heal my face, just as I have for years and I ran into this message board. Im addicted now, even joined today. I saw the reviews majority being good so I bought it. I have the NOW 100% pure jojoba oil brand and nothing has ever produced better and quicker results. My skin tone is glowing, not shining, glowing from being even all around. I don't have bad acne but I suffer from scars which came from me "picking my face". It has been two weeks and I have not really had any problems. It shrunk my pores that were so annoying, slowed down oil also. My face is hardly ever oily. Who knew that oil could cure oily skin. My regimen is the following Morning Wash face with Anthony Logistics Glycolic Face wash (Glycolic acid is good for the skin research it) Pat dry or air dry and then rub a few drops into my palm and add my Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion in with it. VOILA! At night I use Neutrogena's Deep Clean Facial Cleaner which has Salicylic Acid. Air Dry/Blot and follow with a few drops of jojoba oil and Aveeno DML. It works. Please give it a try, it may solve your problems. I even massage it into my skin when damp and add it to my cleanser then rinse. Its amazing!!!

Pros:

Calms acne prone skin, reduces oiliness?

Cons:

makes skin look shiny/oily when applied, best to just use it at night

Alright i tried something new with jojoba oil. I used it on my body to treat body acne. It's only been a day or two and my body acne has calmed down a lot. It's starting to look like normal everyday skin, which is awesome cause no matter what my skin always had a little redness to where acne usually forms. I put some jojoba oil (at night only after showering) in those areas and when i wake up my skin looks refreshing and normal! the redness is gone and best of all the acne is reduced. If i notice a few pimples coming i just use Dan's BP and maybe a little AHA and then put some jojoba oil over it... I'll report back to see if this continues to work... As far as using it on my face, i just hate how it leaves an oily residue. I've only used it for a day or two so i'm waiting to see if my skin gets less oily, and YES i have VERY oily skin... wish me luck guys

Pros:

-Drastically helped with overly oily face
-Helps keep acne down
-Make skin smoother and not flake

Cons:

Bad reaction at first but in a week it passed.

This product is miraculous. I had SUPER oily skin and nothing worked to calm it down. This has helped me so much to balance oil production I cant believe it. At first I got a bad flareup which is usual, but in a week my skin looked amazing. Dont expect it to work instantly. Give it some time and you will see great results.

Pros:

AMAZING!!! great for combination/oily/dry/normal skin types! its acnes worst nightmare!

Cons:

Nothing!

I love this stuff! i use jojoba oil with essential oils in it and it works fab. i will never buy any other skin products ever again! seriously just give it a try, try finding a little more expensive jojoba oil, because they do put other essential oils in it, that will benefit your face!!

Pros:

Keeps my skin moisturized
Works well as a nightcream and after the shower
Absorbs easy and made my pores a little smaller

Cons:

None

I have been using jojoba oil for a few months now and i must say that it does work really great as a moisturizer for my skin! I have previously been using olive oil but it didnt absorb as quickly as the jojoba oil does. Makes my skin really smooth and soft, great stuff.

Pros:

Barely works

Cons:

- Ineffective
- Leaves oily shine on skin

I've been using Desert Essence jojoba oil for over a year now and I can confidently say that it was a waste of money. It only achieves the bare minimum of keeping my skin from getting any drier than it already is, but the moisturizing effect is pretty weak. For example, my cheeks tend to get dry a lot, even though I don't wash them. I applied jojoba oil every day and still no change. The most my cheeks get is a splash of water twice a day, and the jojoba oil wasn't even enough to counteract that! If it can't withstand the drying effects of plain water, it doesn't have a chance against seriously drying products like BP. It doesn't absorb into the skin either, like a good moisturizer is supposed to do. I can spend 10 minutes rubbing it into my skin and it leaves my face looking oily and shiny, which is a problem when you want to go out in public.
