Cons:
The Aura Cacia version dispenses too much from the nozzle and doesn't come with a dropper of any sort.
I combine this with aloe vera gel to make the only moisturizer I can tolerate. Jojoba oil for its moisturization and aloe vera for its soothing properties. Also, the skin around my eyes gets very dry from topical medications. Using the jojoba oil straight as an eye cream provides the intense moisturization I need. I also leave it on my hair and scalp at night, then shampoo it out in the morning. My hair is no longer greasy all the time, and I no longer have to use conditioner.

Pros:
The best!!!
Cons:
none
I have fried my face with water from engine radiator... First degree burns, even went to plastic surgeon... He told me to keep up with that stuff whatever it was, cause it was showing excelent results. After 15 days I had totally new face... It was combination of 50% jojoba and 50% Rosa Mosqueta

Pros:
Smoothes the skin. Purges blackheads to the surface. Natural product so no unwanted product on the skin.
Cons:
Can give face a shiny glowy look.Initial breakout which lasted about 3 weeks
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.

Pros:
- a little goes a long way
- no fragance
- very easily abosrbed
Cons:
- poor packaging, stuff leaks out
jojoba oil is a fantastic moisturizer, because it's just OIL and has no extra stuff. that's what i love about it. all i do for my face is wash with a cleanser and apply this moisturizer once a day. (face is too sensitive for 2 washings a day) i still have mild acne, but my skin is healthy and happy. it's somewhat expensive (especially on [link removed], i recommend you buy from a store like trader joe's), but it lasts forever and is SO worth it.

Pros:
It absorbs well
It keeps my skin soft
Cons:
Not so easy to apply due to it's liquid form
Danger of using too much (since it's so good!)
I have never in my whole life tried a better moisturiser before. I was skeptical about how putting oil will leave my skin matt. But when I apply the oil, I was amazed! It's so easy to spread, and it absorbs readily. And after a whole night out at the clubs, my skin still feels matt! You guys should give this a shot man. And one bottle last such a looong time. I only need 3 to 4 drops per usuage. I couldn't find the 100% jojoba oil, but I got one that's 90% jojoba, 10% vitamin E from Derma-E. And I think it works great as well.

Pros:
Best moisturizer I've ever used, decreases oiliness, very inexpensive (1 bottle has lasted me a 6 months)!
Cons:
None.
LOVE LOVE LOVE jojoba oil! I have been using it for about 6 months on my oily, breakout-prone skin, and I'm so glad I decided to try it! It is now the only moisturizer I use, and it has improved my skin a lot. I now only get one small pimple when I get my period, and it's gone within a day or two. People commented actually commented on how much my skin improved (one girl asked if I had had Botox..haha). My routine: mornings, I splash my face with warm water a few times, then, before drying off, apply a few drops of jojoba oil to my hands, rub my hands together and apply to my face lightly. After 5-10 minutes, I splash my face with a little water and very lightly pat dry. During the day, I wear Everyday Minerals makeup. At night, I wash with Kiss My Face Pure Olive Oil soap, followed with 50/50 solution of ACV and water on a cotton pad, then do my jojoba oil routine. Every few days I use Queen Helene Mint Julep mask, with a few drops of Tea Tree Oil added.

Pros:
-Bottle lasts a long time.
-Moisturizes well.
-Cleared up 98% of my acne.
Cons:
-Using too much results in a shiny complexion and a "greasy" appearance.
There is not a better moisturizer out there. What I do is after I shower or wash up, I let my face air dry for just a minute or so, then I apply about 2-3 drops onto my fingertip and rub my fingers together lightly. Then, I gently apply it all over my face. This will keep you moisturized year round!

Pros:
a little goes a long way...
definitely moisturizes not just my face but everything, from face to hair to nails to the whole body.
Cons:
can be a little bit shiny if used too much
I use it along with tea tree oil. 2-3 drops of jojoba oil and 2 of tea tree oil. I found it to be a great combination. Along with other highly recommended items on this site, I believe that I've been staying clear.

Pros:
Simply the best. If U are an active man and always irritated by acne and breakouts, jojoba oil is for U. Bye Bye acne, blackheads, whiteheads, breakouts,wrinkles, ichy skin and enjoy your life! Jojoba Oil really protects and maintains your skin.
Cons:
A little shiny if U use too much on your skin but none will realize, hehe. That creates different!
I bought 5 bottles of desert essence 4 oz and use for 2 weeks until now. After wash my face gently with my cleanser, don't wash Ur face so long, i apply very thin layer of jojoba oil on my face and rub. It works like a miracle. I am not afraid of acne anymore. Use it at everytime of the day as U want. I also use it at night.Fade dark spots and scars too. My eyebrows become beautiful from this as they thicken and lengthen. A 4 oz bottle lasts a lifetime. I Still have 4 bottles left. Love it! I can't imagine my "a day" without jojoba oil. Don't extinct, my love!
Pros:
Amazing moisturizer. Non-irritating. Dries matte. Doesn't aggravate acne, at least.
