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:
powerful moisterizer
Cons:
shiny, very greesy feel, may cause clogging of poors in some people
It's no secret, jojoba oil is a great moisterizer, but when it comes to all the other rumored benefits, I remain highly skeptical. I did not see any decrease in oil production. In fact, I am pretty sure it caused some cystic breakouts in areas particularly where I have facial hair. I suspect that it somehow clumped around the hairs/pores and caused dirt/sweat/oil buildup. This is even after I rinsed my face with water after applying jojoba to remove excess jojoba. Personally, I feel like rubbing in Aloe (such as Fruit of the Earth) all over the face does a much better job in overall oil control, healing, and a general feeling of cleanliness. I would stay away from this unless your skins is not very acne or oil prone.

Pros:
I think using jojoba oil on my face as a moisturiser has been a god sent.
Cons:
None
I used to get terrible break outs and tried everything even brought expensive moisturisers for £ 60. Since i started using Jojoba oil my skin has become spot free. I apply morning and night. 2 drops in the morning and a little bit extra at night. I now have clear skin. It has even helped with the acne scarring. I still do get occassional spots which i dab with jojoba oil at night only to see it reduce in size or disappear in the morning. I have i bottle i brought from Holland and Barrets months ago which i am still using. I also use the oil on my hair since i have curly hair which is quite hard to tame at times, but the oil has made a big difference.
I think its worth a try you will hopefully not regret it.

Pros:
Balances skin in terms of hydration and sebum production. Makes skin really soft and smooth, seems to shrink pores or at least, make them look less obvious. Multi-purpose product
Cons:
I use Desert Essence jojoba oil. Love the product, hate the bottle. =( It comes in a flip top cap and the opening is too wide, so I can't control the exact amount I'm pouring out.
It's a good product to try for anyone suffering from mild acne or slight to moderately oily skin. Even if it does not work for your skin, you can use it for other purposes ( e.g. shaving, body oil, hair serum ). It's cheap and good.

Pros:
Made my sking less oily where it was oily, made it softer in general and evened out my skin tone. Most of all, it cleared up my blackheads almost completely! Only cost $8.43 including shipping.
Cons:
None.
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

Pros:
Smooth skin, no smell, feels good, inexpensive, helps cysts, pimples, back acne, helps skin clarity, moistrizies great
Cons:
When I use it at night after Retin-A it my skin still flakes.
Definitely worth the price, I wish I would've know about this sooner, I haven't had any adverse reactions, however, I just started to use the product. I mix it in the morning with my Oil of Olay lotion and at night I just use a few drops directly on my face. The first night I used it I could feel the difference, in the morning I could SEE the difference. My skin definitely looked less red and when I put in under my makeup it wasn't all shiny and oily. So far I am on day 3 and my skin is great! I recommend to anyone, I have suffered with acne for years, and have tried everything, this really works! For me anyways.

Pros:
You can use it as much as you like without fear of a breakout, it has reduced the size of my spots and made my skin alot more clear
Cons:
None so far.
Please try this product, it has really helped me with my acne and i have tried alot of stuff on here.
I purchased 100ml from candle lite living on amazon for £5 for 100ml and its the best thing i have done for my skin for ages.
I dont have to worry about breakouts using this as a moisturiser and it has helped reduce my acne(dont ask me how).
This might seem like a product plug but i assure you its not, ive tried light therapy,urine therapy, lemon juice BP etc etc, this has helped me the most.
I apply this as soon as i get out the shower, then any spots i apply tea tree stick from super drug, works great. Please give it ago, i know how acne can control your life and this has helped my skin be more consistent and clear.
Stay Strong!!

Pros:
Anti-irritant, non-comedogenic, Really helped with my patchy, dry & horribly itchy red skin on my face that had reacted badly to BP and AHA. After one night of using jojoba oil on it's own my skin was softer, smoother, and red patches had faded a lot
Cons:
It can make you a little shiny and may take a while to absorb - but in saying that i used a lot of it.
It's a natural moisturiser that both mimics collagen and reduces sebum production, which is a major cause of acne. It's not going to irritate your skin, and as you only really need a few drops it should last a long time and has many benefits - so definitely give it a go! Especially if AHA or BP is irritating your skin.

Pros:
makes my skin soft and almost eliminates oil
Cons:
can get a little expensive
I started out by mixing a few drops of jojoba to aloe and using that as my moisturizer, but I didn't notice a difference...skin would be oily within an hour or so. Now what I do is this - I wash my face using the OCM method, tone with ACV, and take several drops of jojoba and massage it into my face, then "rinse" off with warm water, leaving behind a very light layer. And thats it. No additional moisturizer. My skin stays matte all day now! I used to have HORRIBLY oily skin. Probably the oiliest of anyone I know, and now I don't have that problem anymore. Yay! The only downside is that I go through a lot of jojoba, so it's a little expensive, but hey, it's worth it!
