Pros:

its ok to use on your body.

Cons:

clogged my pores (NO i didnt use too much, 2-3 drops after cleansing my face) and didnt help with redness at all

wow with how many people had success, I thought it'd help fade red marks from accutane.. I was damn wrong. Not only did it seem to clog my pores, but it DIDNT even help with red marks. Aveeno ultra calming moisturizer did a waaaay better job with redness.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Result: 2 large cysts, one smaller cyst

I have been on Retin-A for a couple of years, and I decided about 4 months ago that I no longer wanted to rely on prescription medication for my acne. I began using essential oils and everything has been going well. I have since been using diluted tea tree oil each night all over my face, and I take a multi-vitamin, and a b-complex that has 20 mg of zinc. Then, three days ago, I tried jojoba oil, but just on my chin to test the results. I used it for three days, and then 3 cysts formed (I haven't had a cyst in quite a while). Since, it is the only change in my regimen, it has to be the culprit. Jojoba oil seemed to clog my pores.

Pros:

None - maybe moisturizing, but not worth the side effects...

Cons:

Broke me out horribly - slowly, but surely more and more

Okay, so I was enticed by all the reviews and research I did on this stuff to somehow miraculously hydrate as well as combat blemishes. Woeeee...I gave it a good try - about a month and a half. Long enough, right to see if this stuff works? I was purging horribly w/plugs that never seemed to stop and developed some extra stuff, too, like continual whiteheads and other full-blown pimps - everywhere. Yuck. I finally couldn't take it anymore when I realized it just wasn't working, and now I'm going back to what worked for me a year ago to achieve perfect skin: -Thoroughly Clean Face Wash w/Extra-Gentle BufPuf -Baking Soda Paste w/h2o (in shower 2-3xwk, as needed) -Proactiv Toner, Lotion Hope this helps some of you to decide whether to try it or not - try new things slowly, do a test patch first!
