Jojoba Oil

I am using jojoba oil as a moisturizer. The first few weeks I felt a lot of stinging after applying it... the itchiness occasionally occurs again but not as intense. If I apply it straight after cleansing. When I don't use BP it seems to leave less oily residue on my skin... this might of course just be my skin! I think you need to use a tiny amount in order to let the skin fully absorb it

I bought this product after reading endless pages of reviews on this website. Whenever i came across someone who said "it made me breakout" I would tell myself that they must be doing something else that made them breakout, because this stuff isn't supposed to do that. So here is what happened with me: I have skin I would classify as dry, super sensitive, and acne prone. The only thing that ever kept my face clear was differin gel (retin-a) but my insurance stopped covering it and it costs me $200 a tube now. So I switched back to clean and clear salicyclic acid, which was working okay but I still had mild-to-moderate breakouts (I didn't do BP because my skin reacts horribly with it). Then I discovered dessert essence. I purchased tea tree oil (kinder to skin) and diluted it down to 5%, and purchased 100% pure jojoba oil. I would use the oil morning and night, sometimes mixed with a little tea tree oil, and was loving it. However, my breakouts went from mild/moderate to moderate/severe, which I figured was of course the purging period. Well after about a month and a half, I bit the bullet and purchased differin again. It makes my skin super dry and sensitive, so I continued to use the jojoba oil as my moisturizer. My acne slightly cleared up again, but never back to where I wanted it. Well one weekend I went to visit my parents and accidentally left both the differin and jojoba oil at their house. I had to go without for a week, so I used my tea tree oil mixed into my old moisturizing cream and surprise, my skin ENTIRELY cleared up. The moral of the story? Jojoba oil made my skin far worse than ever before, particularly when it comes to those large red pimples with giant white heads in them that are impossible to hide. I have never had more than one at a time previously and would have like 7 or 8 at a time with the oil. I now use the dessert essence thoroughly clean face line and my dryness, sensitivity, and acne a

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,

Well... I started using jojoba oil about a week or two ago due to bp and tea tree oil really drying my skin making it feel so dry and tight I tried buying a moisturisers meant for very dry skin although this helped it didnt solve the problem. My acne however was improving at this stage quite a lot ( maybe be due to the tetracyline kicking in- who knows tbh). However I didnt think these products were exactly helping my skin in the long run so i decided to get jojoba oil after hearing some pretty good reviews and the fact dan recommends it. What I did after applying tea tree and bp to acne i added 2 drops of jojoba oil for every pea size of my moisturiser i used. Know after doing so i found acne on my forehead appeared, round the nose and slight worsening of acne on cheeks mainly whiteheads which i had never really come across before. Know im not sure whether that was my skin getting use to the oil (well wax really) and that it needed time. The thing is that it made my skin FEEL great not tight at all which i really liked however just not to sure on the looking great part. The werid thing is i also broke on my chest with white heads which had never happened however i dont use it on that area with really confuses me So am kinda not sure what to do with the stuff 1) stop using it 2) maybe use less 3) combine with a oil free mosturier (which i was previously using until my skin went dry) 4) add another oil to it (which id rather not do as im using enough products as it is). Its so stressful i really wanted to get clear for xmas so i really dont know what to do :/ keep with it or stop. Id certainly give it ago to be honest .Good luck guys!! BTW email is e-nicol@[link removed] if anyone has any suggestions :)

I recommend using this product to all people who has dry/oily skin but not with those have sensitive skin - varies on each individuals. I have a very oily skin and this product didn't break me out or made my skin more oily. It's just so expensive but worth it. Just give it a try even just for a week, if it would break you out then stop it and just you it on your hair or on your body.

i have not been using it for long but so far i have not seen any change in my skin. i have dry skin and only get a few breakouts now and then but so far my skin dont feel much diffrent and i've still been getting small breakouts.

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.

It isn't this Desert jojoba oil, but an other Organic jojoba oil (it is the same think)

stupid to use on the face

I wouldn't suggest it if you are planning on ONLY using Jojoba oil. It will work well if used in conjunction with something like Neutrogena On-The-Spot or Proactiv Repairing Lotion. Not Alone!
