Jojoba Oil

I was so surprised to find that mixing a few drops of Jojoba oil in with my Olay Regenerist Serum makes a perfect mixture! I apply this before my foundation in the AM. I hardly do any touch ups or blotting all day, and I have a healthy glow again. I started using it alone at night after I wash with Purpose cleanser and then apply (1 part ACV/1 part which hazel/3 part water) toner. Every few days Ill do a mask with Baking Soda as well, and the past few weeks my skins improved immensely!

I am using jojoba oil as a moisturizer. The first few weeks I felt a lot of stinging after applying it... the itchiness occasionally occurs again but not as intense. If I apply it straight after cleansing. When I don't use BP it seems to leave less oily residue on my skin... this might of course just be my skin! I think you need to use a tiny amount in order to let the skin fully absorb it

I bought this product after reading endless pages of reviews on this website. Whenever i came across someone who said "it made me breakout" I would tell myself that they must be doing something else that made them breakout, because this stuff isn't supposed to do that. So here is what happened with me: I have skin I would classify as dry, super sensitive, and acne prone. The only thing that ever kept my face clear was differin gel (retin-a) but my insurance stopped covering it and it costs me $200 a tube now. So I switched back to clean and clear salicyclic acid, which was working okay but I still had mild-to-moderate breakouts (I didn't do BP because my skin reacts horribly with it). Then I discovered dessert essence. I purchased tea tree oil (kinder to skin) and diluted it down to 5%, and purchased 100% pure jojoba oil. I would use the oil morning and night, sometimes mixed with a little tea tree oil, and was loving it. However, my breakouts went from mild/moderate to moderate/severe, which I figured was of course the purging period. Well after about a month and a half, I bit the bullet and purchased differin again. It makes my skin super dry and sensitive, so I continued to use the jojoba oil as my moisturizer. My acne slightly cleared up again, but never back to where I wanted it. Well one weekend I went to visit my parents and accidentally left both the differin and jojoba oil at their house. I had to go without for a week, so I used my tea tree oil mixed into my old moisturizing cream and surprise, my skin ENTIRELY cleared up. The moral of the story? Jojoba oil made my skin far worse than ever before, particularly when it comes to those large red pimples with giant white heads in them that are impossible to hide. I have never had more than one at a time previously and would have like 7 or 8 at a time with the oil. I now use the dessert essence thoroughly clean face line and my dryness, sensitivity, and acne a

I started using jojoba oil around 2 weeks ago, due to the raving reviews on here and [link removed]. BEWARE, oil DOES cause a "purging" period; basically the oil causes all of the crap underneath your skin to come up and out, causing an initial breakout. This part SUCKS, don't get me wrong. My self esteem has plummeted and Iv'e been hiding out in my house as much as possible...but good news is ITS GETTING BETTER! you just have to stick with it and have faith! My skin is finally getting the last of the "junk" out and I think i'm finally in the home stretch to having clear skin :) Lately iv'e gone "au natural" and done a lot of research on more natural ways to deal with my skin. Here is my regimen: AM: -wash face with cetaphil cleanser -tone with apple cider vinegar/green tea mixture -put 1-2 drops of jojoba on fingers and gently massage into skin - wait around 10 minutes for it to absorb, then apply makeup PM: - wash with cetaphil -apply whole face mask - yogurt/honey or avocado/honey according to my skins needs - spot treat by using honey/cinnamon combo for 30min-1 hour, rinse off with cold water - put a few drops jojoba on clean fingers and massage into skin, then sometimes i'll repeat the spot treatment and leave on while I sleep. *Jojoba oil definitely causes that "glow" everyone talks about, and my oil production has gone down AT LEAST 60%...and still going down! *Bottom line is, if you're sick of having bad skin, try it. The initial breakout sucks but this is bound to happen anyway when trying a new facial regimen. I'm not 100% clear yet, but I hope I will be soon and i'll write another review :) good luck!

I am fond of Jojoba oil because it helps me with excessive oil. I had really oily skin that kept shining and it was really annoying. After starting using it - I have no problems with oily skin and it shining anymore! :)

It works for me and helped clear up my acne and heal the scars. It made my skin so soft and really hydrated.

My forehead and nose get pretty oily but the rest of my face - dry and flaky. I currently use Clinique's Dramatically Lotion, although overall it does a good job, it never really did the job in keeping some of the flakes away. Jojoba oil is the only product I have used that has really helped to "get rid" of this issue. I mix about 2-3 drops in with the moisturizer, and I no longer suffer through flaking skin. I also use it once-twice a week on my legs after I exfoliate them. Has given me much smoother, sexier feeling legs :)

What can I say - Jojoba is the stuff! I used jojoba for about a year and my skin was completely acne free. About 4 weeks ago I stopped using jojoba. I stopped because I finally realized my skin was chronically dehydrated. I tried a bunch of moisturizers but every day bumps appeared on my skin. My skin kept getting worse and I ended up with a few very big bumps and about 50 small ones. I tried many things - retinoids, bp, azelaic - nothing helped. I'm pulling my hair out wondering what I did to have my skin go bad so quickly? And then I remembered - I stopped using jojoba! Back on it now and in a very short time my skin is looking so much better! Make no mistake - jojoba is NOT a moisturizer. If it's the only thing you use on your skin, your skin will dehydrate after a few days. A moisturizer is something that puts water into the skin (see humectant on wikipedia). Of course jojoba - which is a wax - contains no water and will not allow water to get to your skin. I recommend you moisturize your skin every day or two for a few hours with something else. I'm still looking for something to do that effectively. As for whether it stops oil coming out of your skin - I doubt it. In any case how can you tell the difference between jojoba and your skin's natural oil? My skin gets more oily no matter what product is on it. Dan's jojoba is very good a seriously cheap. 8oz for $15 and the bottle will last 6+ months!

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!

After browsing for products that would get rid of my acne once and for all! I came across this site and found out about Jojoba oil, after reading the reviews I decided to try it for myself and have found that it does work! My friends and family have found that I dont have as much bumps around my mouth like I used to and the dark scar from past acne is less visible. I am now looking forward to summer when i wont have to wear make up to cover up my scars!
