Cons:
Doesn't do anything to help my acne
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.

Pros:
Clear skin, gets rid of those small pimples. Less oily face. My regimen:
Morning - wash with Anthony Logistics glycolic facial cleanser (awesome), apply nivea for men face lotion (sensitive skin) with a few drops jojoba oil. Blot after 5 min
Cons:
None! Here's my regimen continued since I'm running out of space:
Night - wash again with Anthony Logistics glycolic facial cleanser, apply thin layer of Benzaclin over whole face. Done! FYI, my skin type is oily/acne prone with some dryness.
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!

Pros:
-Hydrates skin
-Makes skin soft
-Doesn't require a lot of drops
Cons:
Price? The [link removed] price was ridiculous when you take into account the shipping cost.
The bottom line is that it works, in terms of hydrating the skin and making it soft and elastic'ish. This is basically what I do. Once you are done taking a shower, pat dry your skin, so that your skin is still somewhat moist. Afterward, grab the jojoba oil and pour 1-2 drops on either palm. Dab your index finger on the drops any spread it around on your skin and continue until your you're content. Your face should feel soft and not tight when you "stretch" your face. I've read that some people get breakouts or whatever, I've been using it for about 4 days so far, and I haven't suffered any side effects.

Pros:
Helps with flakiness, keeps moisture on skin all day, non-irritating
Cons:
a bit greasy (duh) but not obnoxious
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.

Pros:
Natural, non-prescription, relatively inexpensive, does not spoil or go rancid, non-toxic, non-comedogenic, can be used with topical medications without interactions.
Cons:
I have to reduce the ratio of jojoba:moisturizer in the morning, otherwise my makeup will not stay where it's put.
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

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:
It leaves my skin really soft and moisturizes it really well. I like to use it on dry patches on my face, especially around my nose and mouth.
Cons:
I wish that not so much product came out through the top. It should come in a container that allows for the oil to come out drop by drop.
Its a great moisturizing product that leaves your skin nice and supple. It doesn't break me out at all either. In fact, I think its helped to clear some of the blackheads that I had on my nose.
April 2, 2009
Pros:
It's cheap and lasts for a long time (you only need like 4 drops of it) It absorbs into the skin pretty quickly. Amazing freaking moisturizer.I heard that it closely matches the body's natural oil so it helps regulates oil production
Cons:
It seems to be making my skin look a little oiler during the day. My eye make up doesn't stay on as well. Too much of it may be making me break out MORE (I think I need to ease up on how much I use)
I've heard only good things about this product, so I finally decided to try it. I add it to my spf moisturizer every day and to my night moisturizer at night. It immediately made my skin freakishly soft. I have definitely noticed that my pimples are dramatically smaller. Lately I've been getting a few cystic acne pimples that won't come to a whitehead. But ever since I've been using the jojoba oil I've been getting very tiny pimples that go away in literally a day. I really love jojoba oil, AND it's natural...there's no alcohol in it which will actually dry your skin even more (ironic that alcohol is put it moisturizers)

Pros:
Better than the other Jojoba Oils
Cons:
Be careful of getting near your eyes especially at nightime and if you have sensitive eyes
I wrote a review at the end of January after having used it for a few weeks. It has now been three mos. and it is still working like a charm. I hate to say this about Dan's Jojoba because I love this site & everything I have learned here, but I believe Desert Essence to be a superior oil. I bought the DK kind and didn't like the smell. It had a slight chemical smell (maybe from the plastic or processing?) and after a few weeks of using it I seemed to be having a few breakouts. Then I switched back to Desert Essence and I'm clear again. It could be a coincidence, but I think DE has a more natural smell and it keeps me clear. Sorry Dan. :/
