Jojoba Oil

I have always had very oily skin - esp on and around the nose and on the forehead. Over the years, I found that astringents/soaps cuts the oil temporarily but my skin seems to have this amazing ability to produce oil so that I'm shiny again in 10-15min (so frustrating!!!), there'd be so much oil that my glasses slide off my face. I also have some problematic acne on my chin and temples. I started using Jojoba oil consistently about 2 wks ago and the oil production has dropped greatly - it seems that the jojoba oil mimics sebum so that my face stops making so much of it. My skin hasn't been softer, smoother, less oily and pimplefree since about 5th grade. There are still days that I do get very oily when I've particularly stressed but on average, oil production is down 75% or so. I just started using it on my scalp too (added to conditioner) to see if this can help cut oil production on my scalp!

it's really working! my friends have even started commenting on how great my skin looks! i rub it all over my face before i shower to remove makeup and then i add a few drops in my moisturizer. i don't use it in the morning because it makes you look shiny.

I am a cosmetology student right now, and during my class, I learned about something called Jojoba Oil. We only went over it briefly, so I decided to look it up myself. Because of all of the amazing reviews for it, I decided to give it a try and was greatly impressed! [link removed]>I have never really had a huge problem with acne, my problem has always been the HORRIBLE HORRIBLE black heads that I have always had. My skin looked terrible. Especially on my nose and cheeks. My pores were huge and there was so much stuff caked in them it was disgusting. Most of the acne that I did have was inflamed black heads or me picking. I didn't start taking care of my skin until about 10th grade, and even after I did, I didn't see much of an improvement at first. The one thing though that has really made the difference in my skin however is the jojoba oil. I bought pure, organic jojoba oil (4 oz for under $10 including shi

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...!

After persistently using this on my face 2-3 months, I had to admit it was breaking me out. No matter how little I used, even just a *drop* mixed with water, I'd get little new 'jojoba oil' zits all around my laugh lines--the oil must've settled there throughout the day, I guess. I usually don't get zits in that area. I'm still giving it a couple stars because it probably did improve my overall skin texture at least a tiny bit, and it's finr for (leg) shaving and for overall body moisturizer. but even in these capacities, organic EVOO and organic sunflower oil seem just as good if not better, so why splurge on the much more expensive jojoba oil? And for people who either have very mild acne or just acne scars (nothing active), this might be a nice light moisturizer. But for my very active red acne and my very, very easily-clogged skin....... just didn't work out. I've also tried raw shea butter and EVOO w/ no success. Oils aren't for me, maybe.

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!

I have only recently started using this but I was kind of feeling sorry for myself that I did not try this sooner. It is a miracle for people with acne because it gets rid of oily skin and unclogs your pores. Clogged pores are where the acne bacteria form in the first place, so unclogging your pores greatly reduces acne breakouts. It keeps your skin moisturized especially if you are using acne medications that dry out your skin. I use it in my spf day lotion and at night and my skin has never looked so good. I also use it to remove makeup instead of over-washing. It is not shiny at all. It completely absorbs into your skin moisturizing it and giving you a gorgeous glow. When you first start using it all the crap clogged in your pores will literally start falling out and your pores will shrink. TRY IT.

Get it! A bottle will last you a long time!

Much better for the skin in contrast to putting a lot of bad chemicals.

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!
