Acne.org : Organic Jojoba Oil

I'm in my 40's and have developed a problem with dry fingernails that split vertically. I finally got online and saw that one of the things recommended for this common middle-age problem (right along with dry skin, hair, etc) is jojoba oil! I remembered that I had a bottle of it in my cupboard, purchased from Acne.org quite a few years back, but long forgotten. Now it's my favorite thing!. I've been using it several times a day on my nails/cuticles for about a month and they no longer crack and have a nice sheen to them. I've also re-discovered how amazing it feels on my face and neck--not at all oily feeling, but more velvety. I even got my husband (not normally interested in health/beauty products) hooked on it. He is using it after shaving, and rubbed into his beard (if he takes a break from shaving). No more dry skin and "face dandruff" from shaving. I'm even buying some for my 81 year-old mom for Christmas to soothe her dry skin and soften her hair. You do not have to have acne to LOVE this product! One suggestion: to make a smaller, travel-size bottle that can be tucked into a purse or a desk drawer. I created my own by pouring some into a clean medicine-dropper bottle, and keep it in my desk drawer at work.

This is the BEST price for the amount you get on the market. AND it's organic, which is awesome. I use this to cleanse my face in the morning, because it is oh so gentle and helps to keep my skin moisturized. Yes, I use the oil cleansing method in the morning, and a gentle cleansing soap at night. It keeps things balanced and supple, in conjunction with the drying benzoyl peroxide! My skin is 100% clear! Bottom line: Try it out!

Get it use it and you will love it!

This really seems to be unclogging my pores. I am 35 and have had a problem with clogged pores since I began college. Since I started to use this, with the acne.org regimen (Dan's products) my skin is really getting clear. Deep clogged pores immediately started coming to the surface and were super easy to extract.

If you're using jojoba oil in your routine, I can't recommend this particular version highly enough. I've been using jojoba oil for over a year now, and I much prefer this one to the non-organic Desert Essence variety I used to use because of the bottle, the price, and the organicness. I use JO with the Acne.org regimen (apply it all over my face before applying BP to soften my skin, occasionally apply larger amounts as a sort of conditioning moisturizing mask--see my threads for details) and it has been crucial in getting me through cold dry weather without flakes. My skin looks and feels soft, full, and healthier thanks to incorporating in the JO. Now I don't have to worry about accidentally knocking the bottle over and watching JO go down the sink, too (yes, this happened to me with the old Desert Essence bottles).

This has been a live saver! At first I used it mixed in with the moisturizer but it still left me flaky and oily! So instead, I used it after I wash and pat dry, I rub a few drops into my skin and it removed any leftover flakes, sinks in, and makes my skin feel soothed. It absorbs fully this way rather than hanging out onto of my skin and leaving me slick. Then I wait about 15-20 mins and apply the BP. No longer is my skin dry and tight. Thank you, Dan!

This product is absolutely incredible! I mix about 5 drops of the oil into my Cerave facial moisturizer in the morning and night... And then at night, I apply Dan's benzoyl peroxide over top. My acne has subsided, my scars are fading, the fine lines around my eyes have vanished, my skin is so so soft, and my face has a natural glow to it now. All in all, awesome product.

I love this product! I've had my bottle since June, and I just keep finding more uses for it! In the summer it's perfect for sunburned skin, and in the dry fall/winter weather I rub it into the callouses on my feet. The skin on my face is normally oily, but also very sensitive. In the winter, however, it becomes dry to the point of being painful, so lately I've been using the jojoba oil as a super-moisturizing treatment about 2X a week. I gently rub it all over my face, let it sit for an hour, and then wash it off with Dove soap. Afterward my skin looks toned, even and feels very soft. I am especially grateful for this product, as I cannot use the Acne.org moisturizer (it burns my face). Overall I am a very pleased customer! :)

This has honestly been the best oil for myself. I was convinced for the longest time that coconut oil is the holy grail of oil for cleaning and moisturizing. Turns out it really is not all that, ESPECIALLY for someone who has oily and porous skin. Coconut oil IS highly comedogenic, meaning that it CAN clog pores. Jojoba oil IS NOT comedogenic, meaning that it DOES NOT clog pores. I have found it to be an extremely helpful moisturizing agent in combination with the regimen moisturizer (especially during those dry and flaky weeks). Mostly though, it does a wonderful job of make-up removal before cleansing. I have never liked make-up removers or make-up cloths so always resorted to oils, and jojoba oil has significantly stood out for me. It is very gentle, thin, and super effective. I most definitely recommend the use of jojoba oil for both make-up cleansing and moisturizing.

There's so much fuss about virgin coconut oil being a multi purpose regimen but jojoba oil is way better! I love how it does not clog my pores and keeps my skin moisturized without the greasy feel. Plus, I just find it very practical that a couple of drops can do so much.
