Pros:

healthy skin, brighter complexion, no need for a moisturizer...get rid of all cosmetics...its natural and 100% results in 2 days

Nothing

I had too much acne and itchy skin... after trying various itch creams for 2months, I found jojoba oil... it worked in 3 days and since then I apply it everyday and its the best beauty product I have ever bought. It makes my face glow, no itching on my arms or legs...and 100% satisfactory. Highly recommended even if you dont have any skin problems.. Jojoba Oil is the best product ever made!

Pros:

Only a few drops needed per night, a small inexpensive bottle lasts a long time, no smell

Cons:

Makes my face a bit more oily in the morning since it doesn't absorb too well

Helped get rid of some stubborn blackheads

Pros:

excellent moisturizing, doesn't weigh down your skin, makes my skin look dewy and smooth

Cons:

none

This stuff is great. Ony 1-2 drops is really needed for a good effect. I add it to my suncreen moisturizer during the day, and at night i add it after AHA lotion. Now my skin is no longer red and irritated from AHA and BP, in fact I'm glowing ! If you use the jojoba oil alone, a good idea would be to add it while your face is still slightly damp, that way it helps lock in moisture, and you can use even less drops than usual. My face broke out once after I started, but the pimples were smaller and went away much quicker, and even better, using the jojoba prevented the BP from drying my face out!

Pros:

-The best moisturizer I have ever used
-Cheaper than you think (a bottle lasts FAR longer than a comparably sized bottle of lotion)
-Relieves dryness without causing breakouts
-Has never caused a breakout for me despite using LOTS at a time

Cons:

-Can be messy
-Can cause shininess
-Can gunk up makeup brushes, etc. in a way that lotions might not

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.

Pros:

skin is softer
clears acne
a lot of pros

Cons:

Doesn't absorb too quickly, so take caution if you use it right before going out

My skin works well with nature made products, and this is all natural. Like it says, your skin thinks of the jojoba oil as its own, so it works really well. I found this to work well on my face as well as the rest of my body (I have eczema). Just be careful and do not use it right before you have somewhere to be, because it may not absorb in time. Even if it doesn't work on your face, there are other uses, and it won't leave any marks or make your skin worse.

Pros:

Positive results almost immediately. Lightweight and very easy to use. A perfect moisturiser. Cost effective as it goes a very long way.

Cons:

I have found none whatsoever.

I have suffered with acne since having my first child 16 years ago. Hormone levels are apparently to blame and I have used all kinds of treatments over the years - none of them have worked except to bleach bedding and towels! Since using jojoba oil my spots and scars have almost disappeared - I only wish I'd known about it sooner. I have very sensitive skin but have had no problems with jojoba oil. I still get the odd flare up depending on the time of the month but nothing compared to what I use to be like. Jojoba oil seems to stop spots in their tracks and visibly reduces them overnight! I've heard to many claims that different products do this but honestly jojoba oil really works! Ooh and incidently - jojoba oil is fab on fine lines that are starting to appear around the eyes.

Pros:

Fools your face into thinking it has already produced enough sebum. Great trick!

Cons:

None so far. For people with acne, it feels weird to put oil on an already oily face.

I have had acne for 14 years. I am now in my 30s and still waiting to "grow out of it". Wow am I sick of hearing THAT will happen. WELL, I wash with Proactiv Solution (I've used it for years and it's doing an "okay" job), and just recently started to add a few drops of Jojoba oil to my oil-free moisturizer. PRESTO CHANGO--the zits are gone. I'm shocked shocked shocked. I have only been doing this for a week, so I hope this isn't something my face will just get used to and go back to being its old acne-ridden self. But after one week, I have no new bumps and no new blackheads. My skin is really smooth. If you've tried everything else (and I have--incuding 4 courses of Accutane), why not give this a shot? I will update this posting if the long-term affects are not as positive as the short-term affects I have experienced. Good luck!

Works!
I started using jojoba oil mixed with argan oil after months of continuous breakouts. For the first two weeks, it didn't seem to be doing anything to my skin. In fact, from the looks of it, I thought it was making my skin worse! But after the initial purging phase, my skin drastically cleared up and has been clear ever since. Just make sure you get organic and 100% pure so you aren't putting any other ingredients on your face.

Try this regimen
try mixing your jojoba oil. Do one ounce of jojoba oil 3 drops of lavender oil 3 drops of tea tree oil and 3 drops of lemon oil if you also have frankincense oil l, which is excellent for wrinkles 3 drops of this (essential oils) into a container shake it up rub it on your face at night do it once a day after you wash your face.

Pros:

all natural, cheap, moisturizes, evens skin tone, controls breakouts

Cons:

makes my bangs greasy if I don't tie back hair when applying

feels great, works great! great for removing make up. I massage into my face after a shower and after a few minutes wipe off any residue. leaves skin feeling soft, supple, fresh...ready for make up or au natural. i have an olive skin tone and like to keep my skin care regimen simple and natural. i've used cetaphil (massage and wipe off) for years and not much else but sun block. jojoba seems to clear up small bumps and didn't cause breakouts. leaves skin feeling soft, skin tone looks more even, and no need for additional moisturizer. dig it!
