Pros:

Only thing that works while on accutane

Cons:

epensive, awkward bottle dispensing cap

I'm guessing its working, Ive been on accutane for 2 months and most of my active acne is subsiding but I seem to be getting just red spots that show up all the time. I dont know if it is hyperpigmentation from old lesions or just pimples that dont completely form. Anybody know? Bottom line: if you have flaky skin that normally requires a huge amount of lotion that still just results in flakyness, this is an all day cure

Pros:

Softer skin, less oily skin, little to no acne, beginning to fade acne scars

Cons:

The bottle is messy. But psh if it works who really cares too much to complain and stop using it?

I've used so many acne medications and washes on my face that for the most part, I think it just made it worse and more potent (that and having to cover it up with makeup because you have no choice at a certain point). I thought oil was bad for my skin so whenever my face felt the least bit I'd be in a terrible mood and wash. OIL IS GOOD FOR YOUR SKIN. Jojoba oil has made a huge difference in not only the appearance of my skin but my acne problem as well. Even when I feel like I'm sweating or my face feels oily, it doesn't really look it. It really does balance oil production on your face. I mix about 3 or 4 drops with my moisturizer and it looks perfectly fine under my bare essentials makeup. I'm pretty sure it's fixing my acne scars as well. Please, try it. Most of these reviews are positive so why not give it a shot?

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:

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 my skin soft, glowing, clear, and fresh. Helps decrease acne scars. Is great on lips (overnight), mixed with your favorite lotions, shampoos, conditioners, as a scalp or hot oil treatment, and so forth.

Cons:

none

Much better for the skin in contrast to putting a lot of bad chemicals.

Pros:

Softens and moisturizes skin without clogging pores, helps to clear skin

Cons:

Very oily residue and can only be used at night

I really like this stuff. I don't think that it can be used alone to cure acne, but when it is used with the regimen it is very effective.

Pros:

Smooth skin, no smell, feels good, inexpensive, helps cysts, pimples, back acne, helps skin clarity, moistrizies great

Cons:

When I use it at night after Retin-A it my skin still flakes.

Definitely worth the price, I wish I would've know about this sooner, I haven't had any adverse reactions, however, I just started to use the product. I mix it in the morning with my Oil of Olay lotion and at night I just use a few drops directly on my face. The first night I used it I could feel the difference, in the morning I could SEE the difference. My skin definitely looked less red and when I put in under my makeup it wasn't all shiny and oily. So far I am on day 3 and my skin is great! I recommend to anyone, I have suffered with acne for years, and have tried everything, this really works! For me anyways.

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.

Pros:

-Hydrates skin
-Makes skin soft
-Doesn't require a lot of drops

Cons:

Price? The [link removed] price was ridiculous when you take into account the shipping cost.

The bottom line is that it works, in terms of hydrating the skin and making it soft and elastic'ish. This is basically what I do. Once you are done taking a shower, pat dry your skin, so that your skin is still somewhat moist. Afterward, grab the jojoba oil and pour 1-2 drops on either palm. Dab your index finger on the drops any spread it around on your skin and continue until your you're content. Your face should feel soft and not tight when you "stretch" your face. I've read that some people get breakouts or whatever, I've been using it for about 4 days so far, and I haven't suffered any side effects.

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)
