Pros:

Makes your skin nice and soft.

Cons:

Totally ruined my face.

Before using the oil I had light to moderate acne. After one week of using the jojoba I started to break out quite badly, loads of white heads and major clogged pores. I decided to wait it out encase this was the purging period. Used it for 6 weeks and my skin just became horrible. After I stopped for a week all of the inflammation had gone back down, but a month later I am still experiencing ridiculously clogged pores like nothing I have ever had before. Use with caution.

Pros:

Good moisturizer
Absorbs quickly

Cons:

Caused breakouts

After using this once, I got at least 5 huge pimples in unusual areas on my face. I waited a week and used one more drop, and got the same reaction. While jojoba oil helped with the dry, flaky skin, it made it worse by giving me big red bumps. I used Desert Essence Organic Jojoba Oil, but I don't think the brand matters. This may work amazingly for some people, but for others with sensitive skin like me, you might want to stay away from it.

Pros:

natural, doesn't smell odd, pretty cheap

Cons:

broke me out

This is supposed to be non-comedogenic but apparently not for my oily, extremely clog-prone skin. Grapeseed oil works better for me, without the breakouts and at a lower price.

Pros:

natural, not too expensive

Cons:

may break you out

the regimen made my skin extremely dry and flakey, so i did as recommended and started using jojoba oil every day. i feel like it did not help the dryness but it caused 3-4 whiteheads every day. never happened to me like this before. i stopped using it and reduced the amount of BP instead and right now i'm pretty much clear. maybe i just used too much of it but i decieded to stay away from it for now.

Pros:

-Helps hydrate face all day

Cons:

-Clogged pores

Don't use it, its an oil and it will clog up your pores. Learn it the easy way or the hard way... Stick to an oil free gentle moisturizer.

Pros:

Cheap
Smells OK

Cons:

Major break out within 10 hours!

I put this on this morning at 8 a.m after a week of well-controlled acne (achieved using Sudocrem & manuka oil) and by 6 p.m I was covered in large cyctic acne, including some new huge ones that weren't there this morning. I accept that everyone's different but this is not for me. It's a shame because as a 35 year old I'm told that oils are great anti-ageing remedies. Back to the Sudocrem for me!

Pros:

-Completely natural
-Can be used under mineral makeup
-Moisturizes well
-2 drops is enough for all over the face

Cons:

-Broke me out!
-Leaves a little bit oily residue

I just wanted to use a natural and non-irritating moisturizer so I bought jojoba oil. But while I was using it for three months there wasn't a day without a pimple! Eventually I gave up and returned to my chemical based cosmetics again. My skin didn't like jojoba oil at all and I must admit it doesn't like natural products either.

Pros:

um moisturizing I guess

Cons:

Completely broke me out

I guess I am one of the few people that this product does not work for. I've tried it seperate different times and get the same result, massive white heads all over my face, i tried to wait it out a week to see if this was the "purging" stage but it would only get worse. I gave it a shot but just not for my skin I guess :( on to the next natural moisturizer

Pros:

did feel nice as a moisturizer

Cons:

sorry... it made me break out

I wanted something for my hair actually. I would use it after I got out of the shower and massage it thru my long hair. I also used it on my face. At first, I was really happy thinking it wasn't a problem but after a week or two my back,neck, and chest started breaking out like crazy. I stopped using it and cleared back up.

Pros:

Doesn't smell bad

Cons:

Greasy
Broke me out. after ONE use.

Ok. So I remember using this to remove make up a few months ago, and I was breaking out at the time, so I stopped. I decided to try again with just a spot test. I rubbed in a little next to my hairline and BAM huge pustule appeared the very next morning. So jealous of all of you that it works magic on.
