Jojoba Oil

I have always had very oily skin - esp on and around the nose and on the forehead. Over the years, I found that astringents/soaps cuts the oil temporarily but my skin seems to have this amazing ability to produce oil so that I'm shiny again in 10-15min (so frustrating!!!), there'd be so much oil that my glasses slide off my face. I also have some problematic acne on my chin and temples. I started using Jojoba oil consistently about 2 wks ago and the oil production has dropped greatly - it seems that the jojoba oil mimics sebum so that my face stops making so much of it. My skin hasn't been softer, smoother, less oily and pimplefree since about 5th grade. There are still days that I do get very oily when I've particularly stressed but on average, oil production is down 75% or so. I just started using it on my scalp too (added to conditioner) to see if this can help cut oil production on my scalp!

I have fried my face with water from engine radiator... First degree burns, even went to plastic surgeon... He told me to keep up with that stuff whatever it was, cause it was showing excelent results. After 15 days I had totally new face... It was combination of 50% jojoba and 50% Rosa Mosqueta

This oil (it's actually a wax ester) really smoothed out my skin and actually made my skin less oily (ironic huh?). Jojoba is almost like sebum so when you continuously put it on your skin, it decreases your natural oil production. Drying out your skin with face washes and all that other stuff just made my skin oily. This is all I use on my skin now and it has really helped my acne. At night before bed and after showers, I get a cotton round and place 4 to 8 drops. I then rub it on my face. I had perfect skin this summer but when school started I started getting a few pimples because I haven't been getting enough sleep. Nothing nearly as bad as before. Jojoba oil works even better when tea tree oil is mixed in. It's been about 6 monthes and I still have my first small bottle.

For men i recomend to use it before shave, massage your beard with the jojoba oil and then apply your shave cream it leaves your face smooth and beautiful after the shave! Plus add it in your daily moisturizer cream for a better hidratation

I wish that i would have come across jojoba oil years ago. It's amazing for hair (even extension hair hehe) and for face because it doesn't cause any irritation (atleast for me) and you only need few drops a day. It's not only good for acne prone persons but it's also great for hands because especially here in finland the temperature tends to get so low in the winter that my hands are like dry bread and jojoba wakes them up from the nightmare. I also use it around my eyes on damp skin because its soooo moisturizing and soothing! As people say, it's also a perfect lip balm. If it's not a miracle then it's not.

i have been using organic Jojoba oil for about a week and i love it. it makes my skin feel so soft and smooth. im not sure what its doing to help my acne but my skin feels great!

love it! i use it in my hair and on my lips sometimes. its uses are endless! doesnt cause my skin to break out. i've been off of acutane for about 4 months and using jojoba oil for about a month. i've seen a VERY big difference personally. my skin isnt as oily and its smooth. thank god. i plan on continuing to use it bc for once im gettn results.

I bought the 90% jojoba and 10% vit E oil and I have added quite a bit of manuka oil to this mixture, not sure how much but as I use it up I add more manuka to increase the concentration. I apply with a cottom ball. I wash with dr bonners soap, then apply this 2x a day. I am using other remedies sporadically to exfoliate and treat, like calamine lotion to spot treat, drinking ACV every day, steaming my face and apply sulfur mask a few times a week, exfoliating with salycilic acid or a salt scrub a few times a week also. It's not perfect yet, but it's getting better and I'm not irritating my skin with the harsh BP any longer so I'm happier about that. I'm 35 years old so most OTC products end up just drying out my face without really treating the acne.

I cannot stop enthusing about an acne lotion i git from amazon that has jojoba oil and manuka oil in it. This has been amaaazzinggg for me and my skin and I never thought I would say this but oil really does make your skin less oily.

I use it with lavender, tea tree, rosemary, and lemon essential oils and use it on all my problem areas before bed. The essential oils kill bacteria as well as reduce redness and swelling. The oil is moisturizing, regulates my oil, and doesn't clog my pores!
