Jojoba Oil

So I heard about Jojoba oil and was very skeptical. I'm a medical student, so of course I went online to PubMed to read up on all the credible peer-reviewed research articles about studies done on jojoba oil and skin. I didn't find anything explicitly on jojoba oil and acne; all the studies were on jojoba and severe dermatological cases (seborrhea, psoriasis, etc.). So of course I was still skeptical. My brother was using it, so I decided just to try it. I've been using it for a week, and it actually has been doing wonders. I use Benzaclin at night, and it works pretty well, but I still had those small persistent pimples and break outs that I came to terms with, thinking I'll always have them. Not so with jojoba oil. After one week, they went away and my face has never been more clear. No joke. Hopefully it'll stay this way, and I'm not just having a 'good' week. But this is a kind of clear skin I've never had before. It's definitely worth a try. Get 100% pure oil, any brand will do!

Is jojoba a magical cure for everyone in the world who has ever had acne? No. Has it worked exceptionally well for me? Yes. Anything that we put on our faces has, at least, a 50% chance of inducing a break out. I have broken out from putting the jojoba on my skin entirely undiluted, but for others this isn't an issue. In the morning, I mix 1-2 drops of jojoba oil with either Cerave, AmLactin, or Walgreens Naturals AHA cream, after washing my face. If I have active break outs, especially around my cycle, I use benzoyl peroxide first, and then moisturize. It has really helped balance out the oil production in my face (I have always been EXTREMELY oily), keeps my skin from flaking from topical treatments, helps my existing blemishes heal faster, and does wonders for the blackheads that I can't dissolve with anything else (even Retin-A won't get rid of mine). That being said, it may not work for you, so start slowly with it, and try using it in different ways to see what works best for you

it magically cleared up my face in a matter of days,actually smooth out my tiny new wrinkles. I am in my thirty`s and starting to notice some small lines around my eyes ,,jojoba erased them and it also lightens under your eyes ! what a miracle oil !!! why pay a bundle on creams when the secret has been reaveled jojoba is the s..t !

Use 5 or 6 drops mixed in with your moisturizer with the regimen. This stuff is AMAZING!

I bought and used this religiously everyday at night. I had 'alright' skin. few breakout here and there, but i heard this thing can make your face GLOW. I used only 1 drop because my face is oily already and for a while it was alright. then i started noticing i was breaking out. I thought maybe it will get better and continued to use it. BIG MISTAKE. My face is a WRECK. I heard so much good reviews on this and thought this would work. I don't know how my face can go back to what it was before. Natural or not, if you have oily and sensitive skin, do not, DO NOT, use oil (any kind) on your face. My face feels like cement now-all bumpy... I want to cry.

I'd read about the 'miracle' that is jojoba oil and the oil cleansing method all over the internet. Most people seemed to sing its praises so I thought I'd give it a go. After a couple of weeks of cleansing with Jojoba and Castor oil at night my skin gradually got worse, I thought it was purging so continued to use it. Over 7 weeks have passed and my skin is worse than it has ever been, pimples all over my face in places I have never had them before. I've finally realised that it is not working for me, I just wish I'd stopped sooner as I now have a much bigger mess to deal with! This method works for many, but not for everyone.

I have been on Retin-A for a couple of years, and I decided about 4 months ago that I no longer wanted to rely on prescription medication for my acne. I began using essential oils and everything has been going well. I have since been using diluted tea tree oil each night all over my face, and I take a multi-vitamin, and a b-complex that has 20 mg of zinc. Then, three days ago, I tried jojoba oil, but just on my chin to test the results. I used it for three days, and then 3 cysts formed (I haven't had a cyst in quite a while). Since, it is the only change in my regimen, it has to be the culprit. Jojoba oil seemed to clog my pores.

I have oily acne prone skin. Most of my acne is comedonal so I had loads of blackheads on forehead and nose which turn into tiny pus pimples. When I tried the OCM with jojoba oil I broke out in loads of tiny pimples on my forehead in the 2nd week. I decided to persevere with the OCM and now the pimples are almost gone and most of the blackheads are going. My nose looks clearer and the pores appear to be shrinking. I assume all those pimples came from the trapped sebum in the blackheads so if you have a lot of blackheads, maybe be prepared for your skin to get worse first before getting better. I have always had a healthy diet so sometimes your acne can be caused by the products you put on your skin. Lots of sebum production to compensate for the drying agents you put on the face. My face is less oily. As long as I can control the acne I don't mind too much about the oil-less wrinkles when I'm older!! I OCM at night and mix jojoba with my dermal clay cleanser in the morning.

Go out and buy it now. You've tried everything else not try this. for more details check out my blog at: [link removed]

I have used everything under the sun to stop my breakouts. I have spent a fortune on expensive cleansers and other treatments. Since using this, my acne has gone from mild to moderate to none to mild. An occassional bump, but even those have become less frequent. My skin looks great and feels great. It feels so much less oily. I am the biggest fan of this stuff.
