Desert Essence 100% Pure Jojoba Oil – 4 Fl Oz Moisturizer for Hair, Skin & Scalp | Makeup Remover & Aftershave Hydrator, Non-GMO, Vegan, Cold-Pressed, Anti-Flakiness & Non-Clogging Beauty Elixir

When I use it on my face at night in the shower, my face looks less old and tired looking in the AM. Kind of like it plumps the skin some. I was worried in the beginning that it would make me break out, but it doesn't, and i have been using about 10 months. A little , about a nickel size is more than enough.

Scentless, light, and smooth Jojoba Oil, this 'oil' is actually a liquid wax ester that has served as a replacement for whale oil in cosmetics because of it's very close similarity to sebum (your own natural body oil). It can be used on skin or hair, and is a very powerful and ideal moisturizer that can be combined with as little as 2 or 1 drops to your soap and moisturizers. Love this. I mixed it with some frank, lavender and tea tree - its working on my face great. I was using a "high end" cleanser, toner and moisturizer combo and it just made me break out. This is very gentle. I usually wipe my face with a tissue after to get the extra oil off. I also use it as a carrier for other essential oils. Use as a nighttime moisturizer. I have acne-prone skin, and I've never had problems with breakouts while using Jojoba Oil . When I do get the occasional blemish, I also mix this with 100% tea tree oil for a natural acne treatment. I definitely recommend it. I received this item at discount price for my unbiased review.

This is really good quality jojoba oil!! Jojoba is super good for your skin, hair, literally everything, and this brand seems to have consistent quality. I've ordered from them for a few years and never gotten an off smelling bottle or suspiciously low quality oil. This is my go-to oil now. I first started using jojoba oil because I was getting terrible dandruff, and I had never had dandruff before. The *only* thing that worked long term (not even dandruff shampoo worked past the initial few weeks) was applying jojoba oil to my scalp every night and letting it soak in for about an hour. Due to how often I was dying my hair, my scalp was getting really dried out and irritated, and this soothed and moisturized it, but when I took a shower and washed my hair it washed out cleanly and my head didn't feel heavy or oily the next day. I also use this as a moisturizer for my face. I add a bit of tea tree oil to the bottle, and then moisturize at night. It's seriously reduced the amount of cystic acne I get; I used to have at least 1 painful bump on my face at a time and since I started doing this I get one approximately once every 4 months and it is much less painful and goes away much quicker. I have never had any acne medication or other skin treatment make such a radical different in my skin!!!

Very moisturizing, and the oil part of it is great, I'm just not in love with how much comes out of the bottle because of the packaging design. If it marketed for hair, skin, and scalp, I don't think anyone is using as much as what comes out with the type of lid this bottle has. It's definitely just a personal preference though.

Very pricey for the size (from what I'd previously ordered) Product is good though. Excellent for removing waterproof mascara and softening/ mositurizing cuticles etc..with no irritation.

A reorder. Great product. Try it at night for the cuticles.

I have combination skin and have tried almost every drugstore product, Proactiv, and AcneFree to clear my skin, but everything was too trying or irritating. So, 3 years ago, I created a skincare regime for myself, using only 4 simple products: 1) Desert Essence’s “Cleansing Bar Tea Tree Therapy” to wash my face 2) Thayers “Alcohol-Free Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner” to cleanse my face 3) Spring Valley “100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil” to treat my acne 4) Desert Essence’s “Organic Jojoba Oil” to moisturize my face Yes it may seem pricey at first for a small bottle, but this bottle will last you for nearly a year! I use this every day (and sometimes at night) as a moisturizer and it does NOT clog pores, even though it is an oil. Jojoba oil is the most similar to our own skin oil (sebum), so it actually helps maintain your skin oil. It is also great for dry hair and is not as heavy on the skin/hair as coconut oil. I LIVE by this product and will not trust any other for moisturizing and taking care of my skin! Ever since I've used this product, my acne scars have healed up and my skin looks absolutely flawless. My skin is always glowing and feels moisturized all day long. I'm stocked up on this jojoba oil, I have 3 more bottles to last me the next 3 years. If you're looking for a natural moisturizer free of parabens and artificial ingredients, this is it! I will continue using this product for the rest of my life.

A little background on my skin type. I’m 36 years old and have combination skin that is extremely sensitive and very acne prone (mix of hormonal acne and other sorts). My finicky skin causes me a lot of heartache and has resulted in many tears. For years I have been avoiding any type of moisturizers out of fear i’d break out. Instead, i was using face products geared towards “acne” and clear skin which in turn made my sensitive skin even worse. After much research I finally pulled the trigger and decided to try out the oil cleansing method (sans coconut oil because that stuff is HIGH on the comedogenic scale at a 5). Instead, i tried jojoba which is only 2 on comedogenic scale (so not completely pore clogging free) but it has a composition closest to that of human sebum so it works. My thoughts. I have found a new holy grail! This stuff has completely helped my red and irritated skin to calm down. I will sometimes mix this with Argan or hemp oil (both 0 on comedogenic scale meaning it will not clog pores) and oil cleanse with that. After oil cleansing i will wash my face with an oil free cleanser of some sort (or miceller water) and then finish off with a little more oil which I pat into my skin and leave on overnight. I will rotate between jojoba and Argan or hemp depending on how dry my skin feels due to weather. Instead of waking up with an oily face, i wake up with a glowing non oily complexion. It’s amazing. Tip. There is no such thing as “skin purging” so if you try this and it is causing additional breakouts then it is not the right oil for your skin type. If that happens, try Argan or hemp to see how one of those works. Everyone has a different skin composition so it’s possible that although this works for me, it may not work for you. If it doesn’t work on your face though, use it on your cuticles and body because it will surely leave you with soft healthy skin!!
