Pros:

- Very Generous Size
- All Natural
- Regulates Oil Production
- Evens Skin Tone
- Moisturizes Extremely Well

Cons:

- Bottle Leaks Slightly

Let me begin by saying this is without a doubt one of the best products I have ever used, for so many different reasons. I had read Dan's claim that he feels the Jojoba oil actually regulates his skin's own oil production and I was just perplexed. How could slathering more oil onto your face possibly make your skin LESS oily!? I don't know why or how, but it really does! And I have super oily skin. I apply it as my nighttime moisturizer after BP and let it soak in overnight and in the morning my skin is so soft and just looks great! Yes, it makes skin very shiny for several hours. Obviously that's not really an issue at night because you're just going to bed anyway, but in the morning it can be problematic and I know a lot of other reviewers have mentioned this as a con for them. However, if this is the issue that hinders you from using this product, try doing this: In the mornings, I let the oil soak in for as long as I can manage, usually only about 10 minutes (we all have stuff to do and places to be and there's just no way a normal person has time to let it totally soak in during the a.m.) Then I use a translucent mineral finishing powder all over my face to soak up the oily shininess. Since you're using a translucent dust, the oil will be absorbed without adding any color/makeupy look to your skin, which makes it a perfect solution for guys too! Then you have a nice matte base ready to apply makeup onto if you choose or if you just want to go natural, you are shine-free! Just be sure to wash your makeup brushes frequently! I love this stuff, I just cannot say enough about this product!

Pros:

- Smooth, soft skin
- Got rid of the flakiness around my nostrils that my regular moisturizer could not on its own

Cons:

- Using too much than you need will cause an oily appearance effect and may yield more pimples.
- Hate picking up the container and it feels all oily

For those of you who broke out - how many "drops" were you using? I began with one drop at a time, and see how it felt and reacted on my skin. Everybody's skin is different and not everyone's skin is going to agree well with using 7+ drops. Mine is good with 3 drops mixed in with a pea size amount with my regular moisturizer. Anything more and my skin has a negative reaction to it. It's all about finding the right amount for you. Also, this product is GREAT for using on the legs, ladies ;) I have gotten quite compliments on how smooth my legs are, heh heh!

Pros:

-Lots of different uses
-Cheap
-Lasts for a long time
-Moisturizing
-I think it helps fade red marks
-Most importantly: does not clog pores

Cons:

-The bottle is always covered in oil
-Shipping cost is a bit on the expensive side, but it's worth it

The best thing about jojoba oil is that it won't clog pores, so you can just rub it everywhere and see what works. Some of the things I use it for: -Hair conditioner -After shave -Moisturizer You don't have to use a lot of it, 6 drops should be enough for your entire face. It should last you over 5 months. The only beef I have with this is the cap. The cap allows you to dispense small drops, which is great. BUT after I used it for a few days, the whole bottle became covered in a thin layer of oil. It got to the point where I have to use the oil that leaked out of the bottle more than the oil inside the bottle. Hopefully they can fix the packaging because it's super irritating (at least to me) right now.

Cons:

doesnt moisturize that well. smells too herbally. made me break out a time or two. dispensing sucks. bottle leaks

im not to crazy about this stuff. i thought it would be awsome but my skin is soooo dry that i guess even this couldnt help it. i would use it on my legs after i shave but i dont wanna walk around town smelling like plant oil. and i tried it in my hair but the oil was really hard to get out. so i pretty much have a full bottle sitting in my room and i have no use for it but i dont wanna waste it either.... i do recommend it though cause my skin is really weird so products that work for everyone else dont always work for me and vice versa. so its worth a shot

Pros:

GREAT pre-shaving lotion. Have used it for about 8 months prior to every shave and have not cut myself once or experienced any problems with ingrown hairs. Also works well when combined with moisturizer at nighttime.

Cons:

Makes face shiny, so I would not recommend using it during the day. Also did not help with decreasing my oil production as I had hoped.

I would recommend it for men for a preshave lotion. The bottle will last you for months and if you are having issues with flaking it may help when used with your moisturizer.

Pros:

No smell at all, easy to apply, moisturizes instantly, no greasy feeling, good for hair and nails too, I have stubborn melasma and seems like they are getting lighten too.

Cons:

almost straight after skip a day or two all little pimples and crusts rush back so do not skip it

I have been after a natural product that I can do using without being worried about its side affects so I came accross with this amazing site which I keep reading since then. I am so happy with its affects, it does keep my skin looking radiant and supple. Only down side is I skipped for a day when I was travelling all my unpleasent pink pimples appeared back. I bought my first jojoba oil from a local shop which had a significant smell like rosemary, it wasn't that bad and it worked ok but I think it was mixed with some other oils. Now I recommend Dan's products anyone I talk to because I received it in shortest time, only 5 days to Istanbul which is amazing. The cap is very useful too. It is still cheaper that local mixed oil even with shipment costs

Pros:

It's great! Moisturizes and gets rid of flakes. I put two drops in my moisturizer and my skin is smooth and glowing. Not greasy. I also put three drops in my conditioner to end frizz and I use it to soften my elbows. Love it! The cap is great!

Cons:

None at all!

A great quality, fragrance free oil for a really good price in a well designed bottle. Can't go wrong, really. Depending how you use it, this stuff will last ages.

Pros:

Easily one of the best ways to get rid of dry/flakey skin
It's really inexpensive considering that one bottle lasts well over 6 months
Helps to dislodge some blackheads/solidified sebum which is nice

Cons:

I found that it appears greasy even after I let it absorb, but I do tend to over apply...
Maybe a bit of initial purging but it's worth it!
The bottle really sucks to travel with because it isn't sealed fully so a couple of drops might escape

Acne.org's jojoba oil is honestly one of the greatest weapons in my acne fighting arsenal... since I started using it, I haven't had dry skin at all! Trust me, order it and if you don't like it(1 in 1000 chance), you can still use it as a lip balm of moisturizer for your arms or legs or whatever

Pros:

Does help out with flakiness of skin.
Makes a good lip balm.
Seems to have helped a lot with a lot of drier areas I had on my face that looked a bit wrinkly... or something.
The dropper lid is nice... but also see cons.

Cons:

Makes my face oily/shiny, but I use it with Cetaphil and that makes my face oily/shiny alone.
It seems to leak out around the dropper some when you use it. Not much, but still, it can get a bit messy.

I haven't used this for quite a week yet, but I really like it so far. I've been having problems with my skin being really dry (for no reason at all, I never used to have dry skin) and none of the moisturizers I used helped. Cetaphil had the best results, which made my face very oily/shiny, but lasted longer than the others despite still having flakiness by the end of the day. So I bought the jojoba oil to give it a shot. It helped out a lot with the flakiness. Rarely does my skin have flaky spots at the end of the day. I've also been using it on my lips and I really like it. I've never used chapstick before because it always felt weird and never actually helped (but we always got the cheap brands). But this really does feel nice on my lips and seems to be helping with the dryness of them. I have gotten a few pimples lately since using the jojoba oil. I still broke out some times before I started using this, so this may just be my time to have a break out. I'll try using Dan's moisturizer again, with this added and see if it still helps out with flakiness and oiliness/shininess. If I continue breaking out, I'll likely stop using it and just have to deal with flaky skin.
