Jojoba Oil

I bought this after reading a ton of reviews on it and bought it not even a week ago, and have seen outstanding results so far. My red marks are fairly new and they have been reduced a lot... I'd say 50 percent of the big red ones have been reduced. I have a lot of small brown ones still but oh well. It hasn't broken me out. I started organic ACV a week before the jojoba and never saw results like this. I am drinking the ACV and was putting it on my face too but decided to try the jojoba and just continue drinking ACV. I've been taking pictures of my face every day and saw very little results from putting ACV on my face but the jojoba is AMAZING!! I was diagnosed with PCOS in November and my face went from almost completely clear (retin-a) to horribly severe on my jaw line. The retin-a stopped working since it was hormones that flared up my acne. I'd say to anybody with acne, and red marks to try it. The woman at the health store recommended it for acne and red marks and I'm so happy I bought it! You have nothing to lose, if it doesn't work for your face, put it in your conditioner or body lotion!

After searching for years and years for a moisturizer that would tame my dry and red skin without causing breakouts, I finally found out what I was looking for was simple and natural and under my nose the whole time. I've spent far too much money on department store moisturizers, trying to find some new technology to solve my skin problems. What I didn't know was that oil (per se) doesn't cause breakouts. I was walking around with dry, flaky skin, feeling as if moisture=acne. If you haven't read about this, look it up. Finding that the right kinds of oils can help calm your skin and keep it from being irritated was a huge eye-opener for me. It's counter-intuitive but now I'm definitely a believer. Of course you'll want to ease yourself in to using it, start small, try a test area first and see how it goes. I was *terrified* to put oil on my skin. Now I absolutely slather the stuff on and my skin has never been better. I recently started mixing in a couple drops of tea tree oil (in the whole bottle, not for each application--can be very drying) for extra acne-fighting potential, but it worked great before I did this as well.

IT WORKS

Jojoba is great! It made some existing acne surface during the first week, but I didn't experience a major breakout. Since using it for a couple weeks I've noticed less acne, less oily skin and a more even completion. I highly recommend this product, even if you break out during the first week, don't give up.

I use this product once daily, and I must say that the combination of this and Raw African Black Soap have done wonders. I only use two drops and apply with a small amount of distilled water. My routine is as follows: Morning: Wash with African Black Soap in Shower Dry with paper towel (unless you're using a new towel every time you wash your face, soft towels grow germs) Mist with my little spray bottle of distilled water (beautician bottle...I sometimes put a little aloe vera in there depending on my mood) Take two drops of Jojoba oil and apply on my slightly moistened face kinda as a moisture sealant Evening: Wash with Raw African Black Soap Spray my mist 1 drop of Jojoba Works for me, skin is supple clear and pores are reduced. Let me tell you, for me, Neutrogena is the devil. My skin turned into what looked like cornflakes if you can picture that. I had never had acne that severe...EVER. Sometimes you can give yourself cosmetic acne. If you find that the jojoba doesn't work for you, don't jump into another routine just yet. Start washing with clear water for a bit, then add Apple Cider Vinegar and use baking soda to spot treat. K.I.S.S. principle works with acne too. Check Youtube reviews on African Black Soap.

Morning: -gentle lavender face wash in shower wait 5-10 minutes -acv toner (30% vinegar - 70% water) with 2 sprays of rosewater on cotton ball wait 10 minutes - gently rub 5 drops of jojoba oil Night: -gently rub 5 drops of jojoba oil before bed (optional: wash before if you want, i suggest keeping it all simple) keep in mind, many factors contribute to acne. For me one of them was that it was the water used in the house I just moved into. It was "hard" meaning it was filled with chlorine and other solvents that can disturb the skin. I installed a water softener on the shower head making the water soft and have seen drastic results. The routine above has saved my skin from all the years of damage through trial and error. If you can't eat it, don't put it on your face. Be as simple as possible. You don twant to spend 50 minutes of your day treating acne.. It can take a terrible toll on your social life being such a perfectionist.. Quit masterbating, excersize and eat how a human should eat. you will develop a powerful attitude essential to overcoming acne once you free yourself from today's bs...Go to bed early. Dont touch your face. Simple. If you develop cysts, every 2-3 days gently rub baking soda in the shower on the area. Don't overdo anything. Don't rub too hard. Be very gentle and patient. My acne has been improving.. Currently recovering from mistakes a few weeks ago. But its getting better. Jojoba oil is definitly, when used correctly, an amazing thing. Research it. Most dermatologists don't know anything. If you can find a good one that doesn't resort to accutane brochures, go for it. as for price. I get mine for free. All you have to do is go to whole foods or trader joes, grab a bottle and walk out the door.

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.

this stuff is amazing

If you used this before and had no success, try it again. I too was disappointed and discouraged by three initial trials. They key is to use a significant amount, 6 drops for me in the morning and at night does the trick. It always feels like too much until it soaks in and leaves you with a matte finish for at least 10 hours. Also, you can use it to unclog your pores. Stop picking at your face and try this. Soak a cotton ball with jojoba, cover your face with as much oil as you can without it dripping (no mess!). Leave it on your face for 20 minutes. Wipe it off with tissue and feel how much softer and smoother your face is. Oil (or in this case a wax ester) dissolves the oil and debris that is clogging your pores. I am finally a convert!

I wanted to use something that would help reduce my shine and moisturize my skin. THIS STUFF IS GREAT!! At first i noticed blackheads and tiny zits come but after they cleared up I WAS TOTALLY CLEAR!!
