Jojoba Oil

A staple product for those afflicted by acne or other annoying skin conditions. I find mixing jojoba oil with my cetaphil moisturiser keeps my face flake free and soft all day. It has improved acne scarring, doesn't cause break outs and the large bottle (from Holland & Barratt) will last a long time. I have noticed that it has an odd smell to it though, its not unpleasent and is unnoticeable to others so it isn't something to worry about. I would reccommend those starting the Regiman should buy a bottle as it will help with the uncomfortable skin you will probably suffer at the start. I'm about 4 weeks in now and the Regimen is very good, do stick with it if you are just starting out! The dry, red, uncomfortable skin WILL pass after a few weeks! So don't fret and just carry on! My sister's boyfriend called me "tanny" and "red face" when I began but I just ignored him and I am so glad I persevered with the BP. But do get jojoba, it helps! Went off on a tangent there...!

I am literally stunned that nobody else seems to have this issue--I broke out soooo badly. I think it sounds like a great plan...and I'm really happy that it works for so many people. I used this nightly for a couple weeks and began getting MASSIVE red, painful, UGLY pimples all over my face. I figured this was the "purging" process, and I'd stick it out. Huge mistake. It took me months and months and months for my skin to clear up again after I stopped using it. However, I made my boyfriend use it (at the beginning, when I was gung-ho), and he experienced no ill-effects...and I think it did help a bit with blackheads. So maybe it's just me! But I would NEVER do this again...worst skin mistake I've ever made!

It is the best that has ever happened to my skin.My skin glows and have had no breakouts or anything.I apply it rite after the shower.Also apply some on my damp hair which helps to reduce the frizziness from my hair.Its worth every penny and worth more than a try for both skin and hair!

I only use this in my moisturizer just because it improves the texture of it. I haven't really seen an improvement in my skin condition because of it. It just gives it a nice feel.

This oil, mixed with Neutrogena Healthy Skin Moisturizer used day and night has really been helping my skin. I've only been on it for a week (a bit early to be reporting) but this morning I decided to skip the oil and just use the moisturizer. Within 10 minutes when I went to put on my makeup, my skin was flaky and dry and uncomfortable. I didn't realize how much the oil was contributing until I tried to go without it. I'm using Dan's regimen, with the exception of the BP which I'm replacing with Benzaclin at my derm's recommendation. I'm also using Differin at night, which contributes to dryness. Anyway, so this morning I started over with my facial routine and this time added the jojoba oil in and it made all the difference in the world. For those of you who want to use foundation over top of your moisturizer/jojoba mixture, try using a foundation primer. Bare Essentials makes one and it puts a layer between the oil and your foundation and helps the foundation stay put.

Over the past 2.5 weeks, I've been getting my face wet, then using 3-7 drops of this mixed with water to WASH my face. I rinse a few times with water and dab dry with a towel. It removes makeup, etc. and doesn't leave my skin feeling irritated or tight. I no longer use any soaps or harsh cleansers/products on my skin. I have noticed a dramatic improvement in the number and severity of my blemishes as well as the overall clarity of my skin -- it looks much less red and irritated and even-toned. You can also rub it into your hands, lips, etc. for extra moisturizing. I LOVE THIS STUFF.:)

I use the Jojoba oil on my lips when I am at home, especially before bed. I also add into my moisturizer. I tried putting the Jojoba on my face as a layer on its own, but that didn't work so well for me. I add one drop in the morning and 3 at night. The bottle is tricky to use, so I decanter it into a dropper bottle (e.g. from the container store) which stops it leaking and means I can actually get a controlled drop out! Also makes it more convenient for traveling - the actual bottle can be messy. I never used to be able to wear makeup as foundation would stick to dry spots, with this I can and I use a powder! I also dab the oil directly over rough spots / minor eczema. I can't say it it alone would stop spots as I use it with the acne.org regimen. In combination my acne has improved. Finally, I really like to use this on my hands also, because I touch my face and this way I don't have to worry about causing a breakout. I am so used to it now that I carry it with me every

Might break you out too. Use with caution.

i bought a bottle of jojoba oil 4 days ago, and was skeptical about it, i came home looked at the bottle, poured some on my fingers and smeared it all around where i have acne, it felt really nice and soothing on my skin, that evening i looked in the mirror and couldnt beleive how my skin had improved, i was delighted... i did the same when i was going to bed and woke up the next morning and usually i have alot of whiteheads, that morning i only had one or two, and these disappeared after having a shower.. i used the jojoba oil again after my shower to moisturize, and as the day went on my skin felt good, i knew that i did not have any whiteheads on my face, and felt more relaxed in myself. I have continued to use the jojoba oil 2 maybe 3 times a day. i just pour a little out of the bottle and onto my fingers and smear it all over my face, my skin has greatly improved in just 4 days. i am really delighted that i found this stuff. i recommend trying this magic oil. i hope it helps

Only use 100% organic jojoba oil. If it's mix with other ingredients the effects appear reduced, and the additives are often oily thus make the jojoba oil slippery. I use Aura Cacia from Whole Foods. I have oily skin in the summer and none of the light/gel moisturizers were hydrating enough so I had dry patches, and the regular moisterizers were too hydrating. This was the best compromise and the added benefit of being natural was the final selling point.
