I use this product, and ONLY this product, to clear up my clogged pores. My clogging was awful! I have very oily skin - thick oil, too. The jojoba oil will 'trick' your face into thinking it's producing enough oil (sebum), so your face will actually slow down its own production of sebum, so therefore, you have less oil to deal with. Even though jojoba oil is an oil, it's so close to our natural oils, that it does not add to the problem, but rather manipulates it. If you put a quarter size on your fingertips and lightly rub your face all over, for about 15 - 30 minutes (no kidding, but you need to work it in your pores after having had it warm up to your body's heat). Rub slowly, and in small circles, all over your face (not your eye area), your neck, behind your ears, behind your neck, and in all the crevices, even your lips. You will notice some gunk in your pores coming out. Just wipe this away, gently, with a non-soapy cloth. Do not wash your face afterwards. Leave the oil on, after having wiped off any excess with a non-soapy cloth. It needs more time to do the rest of its job. You many notice a few whiteheads, usually just within the first few days, as the oil is working its way down into the deeper recesses of your pores, but if you ROUTINELY put it on before you go to bed, this will end quickly, and then you may only see one or two spots a month. Don't scrub them, but they will be broken open, and raised enough to be wiped away after being steamed in your morning shower. Adding Lavendar & Tea Tree Essential Oil helps. It's all I use, and I don't need to wear base foundation anymore. I will wear minerals, but just a light dusting of powder. Run some oil (dime size) through your hair before bed. Won't grease up your pillow, and it washes out so easily. Concentrating on your ends.

Unfortunately, I did not experience the wonderful skin clearing benefits that other reviewers had when using this product. I used this as a moisturizer for over a month, and instead of "purging" my skin and then clearing up, it gave me constant cystic-type pimples that are finally going away now that I've stopped using it. I wish I could say that it was a great hair moisturizer, but all it did was make my hair super flat, even when used in my shampoo.

    Comments about Desert Essence Organic Jojoba Oil, 4 fl oz:

    This product is a good moisturizer. I mainly use it with my lotions. Especially good to mix in with lotion during the winter months. Also good as a moisturizer for natural hair. If you have sensitive skin, do not put this product on your face. It caused some break outs for me. But everywhere else is fine.

    Comments about Desert Essence Organic Jojoba Oil, 4 fl oz:

    I use this on my hair and was not really impressed but i had just used a face scrub and then i put this on my face after and it was wonderful. It may cause some people to break out but not me. I love it! Since I will be using it for my face and not my hair it is more than enough.

        This a very light and natural way to moisturize your skin. I use it on my face after washing with honey and baking soda. Since I have started using it I have gotten several compliments on how nice my skin looks plus it feels great.

          Comments about Desert Essence Organic Jojoba Oil, 4 fl oz:

          I use this on my skin right after a shower and on my naturally curly hair. Doesn't have a scent or it's so light a scent it doesn't clash with other scented products I wear. Leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized. Not oily or greasy feeling at all. I use it on my hair whether I'm going natural curly or blow drying it straight.

            Comments about Desert Essence Organic Jojoba Oil, 4 fl oz:

            This works great for my sensitive skin. My skin gets irritated easily by even gentle/sensitive lotions. The jojoba oil, though...I can just rub it onto my skin, it soaks right in, and there's NO irritation, whatsoever! The only downfall is that it doesn't smell great at first, but the smell isn't strong and it doesn't linger.

              • Dry Winter Skin

              Comments about Desert Essence Organic Jojoba Oil, 4 fl oz:

              I use JoJoba Oil for many many things - my hair & in my hair conditioners & leave-in conditioners; my skin right after my shower before I dry off; my face in the evening for my dry skin in the winter; to clean my makeup brushes I use for cream products before I clean the brushes with a regular cleanser.

              The Dessert Essence Jojoba Oil is too too expensive for such a teeny bottle. I buy my oil by the liter or gallon from Hobacare.

                Best Uses

                  Comments about Desert Essence Organic Jojoba Oil, 4 fl oz:

                  I intended to use the jojoba oil on my scalp because it gets dry and flaky during the winter months. Generally with oils I leave the products on for between 1-3 hours before shampooing them out. I had this on for about 2 hours and the smell was just not good. I don't know if I got a bad bottle, but it lingered for the entire time and I was so afraid of it that I shampooed twice to guarantee that it did not stay on my hair. I wish I could get past the smell because I've read great things about it but I'd much rather have a dry scalp then walk around smelling like rotten oil.

                      I use this oil to protect my hair from sweat while jogging. my hair was breaking and drying out from daily jogging and sweat. I've tried olive oil but it's waaaay too thick and hard to wash out. This oil is perfect, washes out nicely and leaves my hair super soft and not dry.
