Pros:

Natural
Oil closest to human skin oil
soothing
moisturizing
Easy
Doesn't take much

I use jojoba oil after I exfoliate in the shower. I mix a tiny bit of it with two drops of lavender essential oil (medicinal grade) and gently massage it into my face. I do this less in the summer when my skin isn't as dry. I love this oil because it blends right into the skin and it doesn't take much. I honestly don't know how much it prevents acne, but it helps with the inflammation because it's gentle and natural. It took me a long time to learn that a much simpler skincare routine is the best way to go. I used to look for that 'magic' product that would clear me up... and I never found it... on any drugstore shelf. In fact jojoba oil is really the only thing I use that comes in a bottle. I've been dealing with hormonal acne from coming off birth control, and only using natural products has given my skin the nutrients it needs to heal. Jojoba is a great oil, especially when mixed with essential oils. Rose, lavender, bergamot, and geranium are great oils that blend well with this as a base. If you can't eat it, don't put it on your skin.

Pros:

Great Makeup Remover
Organic
Non-comedogenic
Lasts a long time
Cheap considering other places

Cons:

Pricy compared to other products for similar uses

I love love love jojoba oil. It is the best makeup remover that I have found. I've tried any and every other drug store makeup remover, and even when others work well, my eyes always burn when using them. Not so with jojoba oil. They remove waterproof eye makeup so well, without burning or stinging them. Plus, the way I use it, it lasts me a long long time. Honestly, I am so in love with all Dan Kern products. Not surprised that I would love this one too. And compared to other places that sell certified organic jojoba oil, this site can't be beat for the quality and amount. :)

Pros:

*Nonacnegenic
*Does not clog pores
*Does not leave an oily resideue (When used lightly)
*smells nice

Cons:

none

I love this. I have oily/Combination skin and this balances the oil in my skin. Don't beleive me try it for yourslelf. this oil mimics the sebum ao your sebacueos glands would think u have enough oil on your skin and won't secrete any of that bad oil that clogs your pores!!!! *Makes my skin smooth *Evens out skin *Balances oil production * Hydrates and nourishes your skin. Bonus: You could also use it on your hair and lips!!! :)

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!

Pros:

Good moisturizer
Absorbs quickly

Cons:

Caused breakouts

After using this once, I got at least 5 huge pimples in unusual areas on my face. I waited a week and used one more drop, and got the same reaction. While jojoba oil helped with the dry, flaky skin, it made it worse by giving me big red bumps. I used Desert Essence Organic Jojoba Oil, but I don't think the brand matters. This may work amazingly for some people, but for others with sensitive skin like me, you might want to stay away from it.

Pros:

moisturizes skin
leaves skin feeling smooth after
reduces breakouts
skin absorbs the oil fast..in a couple of hours you won't have the oily face appearance.

Cons:

it is oily....
shiny face appearance ( which is the main reason i put it on at night)

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.

Pros:

Neutral
Doesn't evaporate, will always stay on
Highly moistening
Works very well

Cons:

Too much makes the skin shiny

Jojoba oil to me is like, something I can put on my skin that will not break me out, and will always mousturize my skin, it's like a back up cure all dryness oil. It makes the acne.org mousterizer sink into my skin better and not being so 'yellow'

Pros:

natural, doesn't smell odd, pretty cheap

Cons:

broke me out

This is supposed to be non-comedogenic but apparently not for my oily, extremely clog-prone skin. Grapeseed oil works better for me, without the breakouts and at a lower price.

Pros:

Everything!
Great moisturizer
Good for everything!

Cons:

NONE!

This is a great item to add to your beauty regime! It's inexpensive and can be used for everything. I add a little to my Purpose face cream/sunscreen every morning and it feels wonderful. I also use it at night if my face is feeling dry. You do have to regulate it because it can get really greasy if you use too much.

Pros:

natural, not too expensive

Cons:

may break you out

the regimen made my skin extremely dry and flakey, so i did as recommended and started using jojoba oil every day. i feel like it did not help the dryness but it caused 3-4 whiteheads every day. never happened to me like this before. i stopped using it and reduced the amount of BP instead and right now i'm pretty much clear. maybe i just used too much of it but i decieded to stay away from it for now.
