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)

not very moisturizing - prefer coconut oil
it is good because it doesn't sting my face or cause me any breakouts but as I am a regular user of tretinoin, I find that jojoba oil simply doesn't moisturize my skin enough for me to want to use it every day. The moisturized, silky feeling fades away pretty quickly and I also dislike the fact that I need to rub it in for a while because then my cheeks get really pink and warm (and stay that way for a while). I don't have this issue with coconut oil which goes on smoothly, can be applied gently and still feel absorbed, and moisturizes much better (and smells better too)

A very good moisturizing oil for the face!
This is one of my favorite oil moisturizers. It's light on the skin just put a few drops into your palm after you come out of the shower and apply it onto your face. The great thing about this oil is that it mimics your sebem so you pores don't overproduce oil that can make your face look greasy or shiny. A little goes a long way and this bottle will last a long time. I love that its a natural product

Pros:

very light but still moisturizes well

Cons:

a little messy

it's really working! my friends have even started commenting on how great my skin looks! i rub it all over my face before i shower to remove makeup and then i add a few drops in my moisturizer. i don't use it in the morning because it makes you look shiny.

Pros:

- No colour or smell
- Somewhat cheap
- Good to use as a cleanser

Cons:

- Bad moisturizer, cause of my breakout!

So I bought this after being on the regimen for 3 month in hopes of reducing the dryness that comes along with it. So I did as I heard other, adding a couple drops to my moisturizer.. and I will admit it did stop my dryness, but about 3-4 days later BAM! Terrible breakout :( I was trying to figure out what I was doing wrong and I realized it was the jojoba! I was so mortified because I had been clear for almost 1 & 1/2 full months :( so I left it aside (like I do many of my previous acne products lol) tried it again about a week or two later after I was clear again thinking maybe it was just a fluke, plus I was really in need of moisture my skin was ugly! and of course, breakout :( so I stopped, and my skin cleared over time again. Then one day I was out of cleanser, and was on acne.org like usual trying to look for the best cleanser to buy in department stores since I couldn't order online at the time, and decided to try jojoba as a cleanser (my skin was also particularly dry at the time it was the start of winter). So I rinsed my face, then with the access water left on my hands added about 3-4 drops of jojoba and I used it to kind of rub away all the dead skin and makeup on my face, rinsed and WOW! All my dry skin was gone and my face was nice and moisturized which I hadn't seen in 2+ months! I woke up the next morning and my face was GLOWING! Really a big difference. So basically i've been using jojoba as a cleanser/exfoliator ever since :) for the people who said jojoba broke them out - TRY IT! :) and if you haven't used jojoba before, I won't tell you to not use it as a moisturizer cause everyones skin is different.. but it definatly made me breakout so use with caution :)

Pros:

Natural Feeling
Light
Soft Skin
No smell
Bumps going down?
Redness disappearing?

Cons:

Bottle is getting kinda oily and I'm kinda scared some nasty stuff is gonna grow on top.
Shiny look on face, but hey it could be worse
I've heard of a purging breakout, but I'm skeptical about this. I really hope it doesn't happen to me though

I got a breakout recently and my skins been really oily so I started researching online and came across this stuff. I heard about it before and was skeptical. My Cetaphil Normal to Oily seemed to really dry my face out after washing my face. And I got to thinking maybe my skins thirsty for oils. And so I went to Trader Joes and decided to get this stuff. And I washed my face and put it on and it does seem greasy at first, but most of it absorbs. And my skin isn't greasy with sebum oil, but light oil that doesn't feel disgusting. And after rinsing it off my face feels sooo soft and amazing. I still wash with the cetaphil and afterwards my face is still soft.

Pros:

Enjoyable to use, hasn't caused me to break out, multi-functional and I think it has improved my acne scarring.

Cons:

I havn't noticed that it makes my skin less greasy as other people have noted, but I buy shine control papers from Superdrug which takes care of my greasiness. I bought the oil from Holland & Barratt and it cost £10! Costly but it is a large bottle

A staple product for those afflicted by acne or other annoying skin conditions. I find mixing jojoba oil with my cetaphil moisturiser keeps my face flake free and soft all day. It has improved acne scarring, doesn't cause break outs and the large bottle (from Holland & Barratt) will last a long time. I have noticed that it has an odd smell to it though, its not unpleasent and is unnoticeable to others so it isn't something to worry about. I would reccommend those starting the Regiman should buy a bottle as it will help with the uncomfortable skin you will probably suffer at the start. I'm about 4 weeks in now and the Regimen is very good, do stick with it if you are just starting out! The dry, red, uncomfortable skin WILL pass after a few weeks! So don't fret and just carry on! My sister's boyfriend called me "tanny" and "red face" when I began but I just ignored him and I am so glad I persevered with the BP. But do get jojoba, it helps! Went off on a tangent there...!

Pros:

Makes Skin Softer

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.

After reading great reviews about Jojoba, I decided to use Jason Jojoba oil to help clear up dark spots and blemishes on my face as I've tried every product under the sun. It's only been a week, but thus far, the blemishes are reducing in size. I hope and pray that it helps lighten up the dark spots in time for summer.
