Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is not suitable for everybody. If you're face is covered with inflammable acne for the most part, I wouldn't use it. If you apply it on big spots they are more likely to grow and have a huge white explosion (yuck!) after a few days. However, if you use BP and are suffering from very dry, irritated and almost burn-like skin (here in Holland we only have 5% BP or more) it is neccessary to use Jojoba oil. I use it on superdry areas like my cheeks. My cheeks are always almost clear but they do dry from the BP, even when I do not apply the BP on my cheeks. For this it is lovely and it feels like a relief for the skin. For all the ladies out there, do not apply this if you're going to use foundation right after. It will 'sit' on your skin and make you very shiny during the day. Even your mascara will smudge around your eye area. Recommended foundation if you follow the regimen (and sometimes want to use jojoba as well): Vichy Dermablend foundation. This covers really well and is not comodogenic, looks pretty, and evens out dry or red areas. Apply another layer on acne areas to cover up. Definitely NOT recommended when following the regimen and using BP and Jojoba: MAC studio sculpt foundation. Although this normally is a good foundation, it looks HORRIBLE when you use jojoba/BP. It just makes you're face look cracked open,dry,flaky and really bad. Do not use gelbased foundations when following this regimen,

Throughout my life I have been very cautious about my skin and always thought I was looking after it. I have never suffered from acne or even had a bad breakout on my face, I had acne on my shoulders due to the pill & I usually got one or two spots when menstruating, but they disappeared once my period was over. However, over the past year i've noticed that my skin looks as if it's been scrubbed raw! It's not painful just very pigmented. I've been wearing less make up and avoided manmade skin products (apart from one) because of all of the harmful chemicals in them and have found a skincare routine which so far (5 months in) has been fabulous 😊 Jojoba oil is a great moisturiser. It mimics the skins natural oils which prevents the skin from over-oiling. It's also great for hair etc. and is a natural product which is even better. However, you mustn't rely on it as your only skincare product otherwise you will break out. After speaking with my dermatologist, she recommended cetaphil to use alongside jojoba oil, which works a treat! Cetaphil is a manmade moisturising product, the only difference is that it's there to restore moisture into your skin and keep it well hydrated whilst deep cleansing your pores and creating a barrier against acne. I would recommend cetaphil along with jojoba as it has made my skin look and feel amazing!

i have really oily skin and i think it clogged my pored and caused breakouts i wouldnt recommend it for oily skin

I do believe that this could work for some people, but it will cause a purging period. I used it for a couple days, and I got a couple pimples from it and after discontinuing it, got new clogged pores a couple days after. I got so scared and dont plan on trying it again. It is worth a shot though, just didnt work out for me, unless that is the "purging period".

its a good product ive been using it for about a week and a half so far so good, i have acne prone skin but it soothes the redness and the bumps im just going to continue my regimen which is cleanse face with warm water pat dry and apply a few drop of the oil. im gonna pray that this clears my skin after trying everything under the sun

I like using Jojoba Oil during the winter when my skin is very dry due to cold windy weather. I apply is after i have washed my face and it feels so soothing on very dry and sensitive areas. I only use a little drop and it covers a lot of area on my face (cheeks, chin, forehead). The next day my skin looks refreshed, healthy, and has a 'dewy' like look. You can also use this product with a moisturizer for a luxurious hydrating moisture treatment. This is a good add on to your current regimen that is already working for you.

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.

stupid to use on the face

I understand this stuff can work wonders for lots of people. Im just not one of them, but I have tried! My skin isnt oily in the first place, but yet I have bad breakouts. I think if your acne is due to excess sebum, then you can use this to trick your skin into producing less. But this isnt the case for me. Im sticking with the CSR, since it seems to be working. It is worth a try though.

I read some great reviews and some bad ones on Jojoba oil, but the first night I used it on my face as directed (2-3 drops in moisturizer) it did not react well with my skin. I woke up with about 6 new pimples. I think it's one of those things that may work great for some people, and really bad for others. I now mix it in with my body lotion and from the neck down it's great. Just not on my face.
