Pros:

-Cheap (one bottle last me months)
-Super effective
-light moisturizer
-AMAZING

Cons:

-Greasy apply at night
-other than that nothing

I used to have horrible acne. I mean horrible. I stopped using so many products and started just stuck with my face wash and this oil. It was a matter of about 2-3 weeks and my face completly changed. I know this doesnt work for everyone but please give it a try. If you dont see your skin getting better after the first week, stop using it because it probably will either not work or could make your skin worse.

Pros:

Very soft skin.
Absorbs instantly.
Reduces oil.

Cons:

none

After I cleared my skin with retin-A and fish oil supplements, I wanted something to make it soft and glow. Jojoba oil is wonderful. It's non greasy, didn't make me break out and best of all controlled my oil! Plus it's great to add other oils to it! I got 30ml for $3, which is plenty.

Pros:

Super soft, healthy, glowy skin.
If I squeeze something I won't wake up looking sick like I have the plague. I'll have glowy skin and a little wound with minimal redness that looks like it's healing well.

Blackheads and areas with black heads are less 'raised.' Far fewer blackhead on my forehead.

I have dry peely skin, especially if I squeeze pimples/blackhead but not since I've used this.

A little goes a really long way

Results seen in just a couple of hour

Cons:

I still have the same amount of blackheads on my chin and in the creases of my nose. They may even be a little 'blacker' but it could just be that there is no flaky white dead skin hanging around to conceal this.

Makes my hair a bit greasy cos my fringe gets goes all over my face.

Super amazing. No need for a moisturiser now. I don't know how I lived without it. Only use a little and apply downwards, gently with clean hands. Squeeze a pimple? After you wash the area and disinfectant jojoba it!

Pros:

My skin has been very very dry due to use from Dan's BP and living in a dry climate. So, I stopped the use of BP and bought his jojoba oil. The first time I applied it, it felt like my skin had been so thirsty, and this is exactly what it needed. It felt like for the first time in perhaps a year like I had newborn baby bottom skin! My lips also are a tad plumper now that their not constantly dry. I used to have to exfoliate every day!

Cons:

None.

I bought this for my extremely dry skin, and it has done exactly what it was made to do. I use if after I apply my Murad spot treatment, let it sit, then pat the excess off so that my makeup doesn't slide off from the oil. I also exfoliate my lips with it using a washcloth.

Pros:

Lightweight, very cheap in the States, leaves skin feeling hydrated.
Decreases oil production and minimizes pores and blackheads.

Cons:

Leaves my face feeling a bit greasy, but compared to when I used a Neutrogena moisturizer, it's much better! When I look in the mirror, my face barely looks oily (despite the feel).

Jojoba oil is a great and super cheap moisturizer. I got mine from Trader Joe's for $7 for a large bottle. Every morning and night, I use literally just a drop of oil and spread it on my face. It absorbs fast and leaves little residue. I used to apply it to wet skin, but my skin ended up looking more oily. Now I put a drop in the palm of my left hand and apply a little bit at a time with my right hand. I tried the baby brush method, but I realized I was breaking out in places I never broke out before so I stopped using the baby brush but I continued to use the jojoba oil. I'm pretty much clear of acne but I still have some blackheads on my nose. I extract every few days (it's getting less frequent!) and the extraction tends to leave the pores bigger. If you use jojoba oil, over time, it makes them smaller. Magic oil!

Pros:

*Gives your skin that youthful glow and healthy look.
*Excellent moisturizer especially if you're on accutane
*Over time during 2-3 months considerable reduction in red acne scarring.
*Can use on hair to make your hair glow!

Cons:

*Availability limited in New Zealand especially in its purest form
*A little pricey
*Don't wear this on during the day as it makes you shine - best to put it on at night.

Ok so i started using Jojoba oil about 4 months ago as a means to clearing up my red acne scarring. I had read alot of reviews before deciding to go with this - afterall its an oil and who in their right minds puts oil on their acne prone skin? Not to fear, jojoba oil is the miracle oil kinda like god's gift to his children. Yes I did get the initial breakout by using jojoba but i stuck with it. 4 months later my skin glows, acne red scars have faded and I feel my skin heals faster from the odd pimple! I've received compliments from friends and family - 'wow what are you doing to your skin - it looks so nice and you're glowing like a pregnant woman!!' Try this stuff. Please if you love yourself.

How long did your initial breakout last?

Pros:

- Removes dry skin flakes and whiteheads.
- Gentle on sensitive and inflammed skin.
- Feels very light on the skin and is very easily absorbed.
- Very little is required for each application.
- Other beneficial pure essential oils can be added safely to increase remedial effectiveness.

Cons:

- Can feel a little greasy if too much is applied.
- Expiry date should be observed carefully/oxidation will occur if exposed to light and heat.
- From where I come from, oil is not easily and readily available and can be pricey and difficult to purchase (subjected to stock availability)
- Can take a while before any noticeable effects (as with all organic oils). Patience is key.

I decided to try using jojoba oil after going through months of online research on organic topical remedies. I came across many articles supported by scientific studies that claim jojoba oil as being the natural oil that closely resembles our skin sebum. It is, therefore, highly recommended by many as the perfect and most safe product to use in any skincare regimen. I have oily and acne proned skin. I bought a bottle of cold-pressed jojoba oil from Jurlique. I applied a very thin layer of oil on my face and have noticed how light it feels on my skin. I have fair complexion and because of that, my skin can sometimes appear blotchy and blushed. The oil seem to calm the redness gradually over time and made my skin glow. My skin texture improved as well and felt softer and smoother over time. On some occasion, while applying the oil on my face in a circular motion, dry skin flakes and whiteheads have 'rolled out' painlessly. They just come right off on its own. I usually wipe them away with a cotton pad or clean tissue. I also added pure essential oils like lavender, eucalyptus and geranium to the jojoba oil not only for their scent, but also for their therapeutic properties. Keep in mind that when you do add EO, dilution should never be more than 2%. In my honest opinion, jojoba oil is a great oil to use as a moisturizer to maintain beautiful, healthy skin. I am now currently battling severe acne with antibiotics, a condition which wasn't worsened by my use of the jojoba oil, rather by my usual acne breakout cycle and food allergies, a combination of both, made worse by high levels of stress. I am currently using Shiseido's facial wash, moisturizer and blemish gel designed to be used on oily and acne proned skin to further aid in the recovery process. I'd definitely recommend jojoba oil to anyone who is looking for an organic alternative to harsh synthetic moisturizers, most of which contain harmful chemicals, some of which are known skin irri

Pros:

makes hair and skin smooth, soft, and well moisturized...naturally!

Cons:

can be hard to find

My skin has become so dry due to Spironolactone; this oil works great for me when mixed with my regular moisturizer. My skin just swallows it up. A few drops is all it takes - otherwise you will be too greasy. I also apply roughly 6 or 7 drops to my damp hair after washing, then style as usual...looks like I spend hundreds on my hair! Love this stuff!

Pros:

Very moisturizing
Gets rid of flakiness associated with acne products!
Makes my skin look younger and so healthy!
Makes my hair look wonderful

Cons:

The bottle I have gets very messy and I tend to always get a few more drops than I want when I pour it out.
If you apply too much, you look really shiny

Takes a little bit of experimenting with to get just the right amount on your skin, but I tell you what, once you do, you will be so happy! I have always suffered with ALWAYS having 1-3 large zits on my face. Once one would go away, another one would appear elsewhere. When I would use acne treatments though, my skin would get unquenchably dry. No matter how intense a moisturizer I would apply, my skin would still end up looking flaky and terrible. :( Now that I have started using jojoba oil, that is all a thing of the past! It quenches my parched skin when I do use acne products, but I have found that I don't have to use them everyday as long as I apply this in the morning and at night. Occasionally I apply only jojoba oil to my face after I wash it before bed, and I wake up with beautiful, glowing skin. I'm so excited that I found this!
