Jojoba Oil

Been using jojoba oil for the past week or two and it has done nothing but make me break out horribly. Huge red painful acne and whiteheads EVERYWHERE. I was so excited to try this product out but it did nothing but make me face look worse. Anyone know why it didn't work for me? I have oily prone skin already so that might be it.

I use 6 drops of jojoba oil in my moisturiser morning and night. I use a little around my eyes and even on my lips. I love this stuff. I have even started using it as a body moisturiser when I come out of the shower. This stuff really took away the hard feeling tightness of my skin early in the regim and now allows me to use full BP dosage with comfort. Highly reccomend. Ps. I was very nervous about putting oil on my skin but this is the best skin product i have ever used. I live in Ireland so I use Holland and Barrets brand of oil. I have combined it with simple's oil free wash and moisturiser and my skin is completely spot free and my red marks are healing quickly. My face was quite bad at the start of Jan and honetly this routine has changed my life. I started using panoxyl BP because it was easily available at boots chemists. It was then discontinued and i was forced to by Dan's I was very nervous about switching but can honestly say Dan's is much better. Way less harsh on skin and does the job just aswell with less flakey skin.

Ok. So I remember using this to remove make up a few months ago, and I was breaking out at the time, so I stopped. I decided to try again with just a spot test. I rubbed in a little next to my hairline and BAM huge pustule appeared the very next morning. So jealous of all of you that it works magic on.

I bought this item because i read the reviews from this website. I used it last night and this morning my skin did feel a difference. I started breaking out about a yr ago due to a lot of personal stress and now i'm taking tetracycline 250mg. I hope this really works because i've tried almost everything. From home remedies, over the counter products and acne facials and nothng has truly helped. I'll be posting if this oil helps my acne. I like it because everytime i get a pimple and it starts to disappear it leaves behind a very ugly dry patch that make up cannot correct and since last night i felt a difference in my dry skin. I'm sooo excited i really hope this works and helps others out!! I know how stressful it is to break out and have nothing work on you, but don't give up and just remember to NOT stress out over it stress can only worsen it. Good luck to everybody!

I use cocacare jojoba oil, breakout at first...then voila soft, supple, beautiful skin....will never use anything else, lines and wrinkles also diminished...deep icepick acne scars raised and almost gone.

I had combination oily acne prone skin and I have been using jojoba oil on the face and neck for 6 months now. It is amazing at hydrating the skin. The key is to use one very light pump of jojoba oil (no bigger than a small pea size), rub between hands onto four fingers (this helps eliminate too much product) and then gently but firmly pat into the skin of face and neck. You do not want to rub this oil onto skin nor do you want to use a lot of it. a little bit goes a long way and patting will allow the oil to penetrate the skin best. Hope this helps.

what might work for me might not work for everyone but i use Desert Essence 100% Pure Jojoba Oil if that helps. it's not greasy or clogs up my pores. of course it's an oil and when i dab it on my face will be oily but my skin absorbs the product fast. i use a cotton so bacteria from my fingers won't be mixed with the oil and cause more breakouts. i do have very sensitive skin(combination skin) for those of you who are like me. i'd give it a try...it's worth it. i've tried a lot of stuff just to prevent breakouts but this seemed to help because it's not drying your skin...which is one of the reasons i break out from all that irritation...and at the same time it's helping to get rid of breakouts. a little goes a long way.

I use 100% generic brand Jojoba oil and so far so good and it controls my dry skin after applying Benzamycin at night. However, it leaves my skin shiny and oily. I don't mind it at night but during the day time, I often have to lightly pat my face with a towel just to not look like I dipped my face in a bucket of liquid butter.

I just wanted to use a natural and non-irritating moisturizer so I bought jojoba oil. But while I was using it for three months there wasn't a day without a pimple! Eventually I gave up and returned to my chemical based cosmetics again. My skin didn't like jojoba oil at all and I must admit it doesn't like natural products either.

I have suffered from bad adult acne for about 7 years, and tried EVERYTHING i could find to try and improve it, but nothing seemed to work (besides Pro-active temporarily, but it soon stopped working) I accidentely stumbled upon Jojoba oil when i was actually seeking a moisturer, and not only does it work brilliantly to moisturise skin but its actually clearing up my acne too!! I almost cant believe it. I mean, it takes a while, i still have some outbreaks but over all its really helped and the spots i do have are alot more dessolved and under the skin. Its definitely worth a try to anyone, and reasonably cheap too! My bottle cost around £10 and it lasts for absolutely ages.
