Pros:
natural, soothing, moisturizing, doesn't clog pores, versatile
Cons:
depending on the brand you have it can be annoying to get out of the bottle. i transferred some of mine into an eye dropper bottle and it's much easier to use. slow absorbing
I put two drops in with my moisturizer and it's like magic. It's not a treatment for acne, but it's awesome. I also put it in the bath, use it with my hair conditioner, etc. It's a wonder-product via nature. I love it.

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:
inexpensive, a little goes a long way, no harsh odor, doesn't feel oily or greasy
Cons:
a little difficult to get a controlled drop out of this type of bottle, takes a bit of rubbing/time to get it absorbed well
You don't need much of this oil to make your hands feel better and you need even less to moisturize any dry spots on your face. I use this as a part of my all-natural face care system. I alternate between the oil cleansing method (caster oil + apricot kernal oil) and using raw, organic honey as a cleanser. I also use witch hazel for a toner. While having acne prone, combo skin, I find that I've always had "dry" spots on the sides of my chin; with this natural method I no longer get flaking, but it still feels a little dry. This is where I use the jojoba oil. Just a tiny dot smooths it out. You can also use the jojoba as your carrier oil for OCM or put it in your regular lotion/conditioner. I don't know that this alone will cure acne, but it is a great part of a natural skin care regime.

Pros:
wonderful skin soother.
Cons:
none
I just went to Whole Foods Market and bought a small bottle of Desert Essence jojoba for $6.00. My face was burning and red from the acne treatment I am using and the instant I put the jojoba on my face, it relieved the burning sensation. The redness even subsided almost instantly. I love this stuff. I wish I would of known about this natural moisterizer a long time ago.
I think it is great for use in the harsh winter weather as well to help with dry skin. I too have oily skin but jojoba does not make it oily at all! If anything, it helps it.

Pros:
Works very well.
Cons:
None.
Yes, its greasy. But its oil, and that goes away if you use only a little bit. As for causing more acne, that's impossible because jojoba oil is a lot like your own skin oil. "Jojoba oil is similar to, and miscible with, sebum, which is secreted by human sebaceous glands to lubricate and protect skin and hair." [link removed]>
As for pink eye, jojoba is a herb, and pink eye is from bacteria. Do your research people.

Pros:
Inexpensive, natural
Cons:
Difficult to travel with
I have been applying this at night for about a year, I have oily skin and ironically using this at night reduced my oiliness during the day. I had been paying 95 dollars for an ounce of C-Serum and this works just as well, if not better. I do feel it helps my drin skin in the winter as well.
November 5, 2008
Pros:
I put about 2 drops in the palm of my hand. Rub them together, then apply to my face, working it in. Result: less razor burns (electric razor, blades cut me pretty bad), reduced wrinkles around laugh line and outer eye lids.
Cons:
Oily! But, since I have dry skin (hands, elbows and knees), I spread the extra around in those areas
Worth every penny. I brush my teeth, apply my Jojoba Oil, and hit the sack. Every night!
Pros:
seems to be working great. replaces bad oil with this good jojoba oil.
