Desert Essence 100% Pure Jojoba Oil - 4 oz - Moisturizes Body Skin & Cleanses Clogged Pores -Nourishes Hair and Scalp - Hair Care & Skincare Essential Oil - Suitable for Sensitive Skin

I've struggled with acne since around 7th-8th grade. My acne isn't that bad... I'd say it's mild to medium acne. I'm Chinese and have combination skin - oily in t-zone and just normal in the cheeks. I do tend to get dry around my nose and the corners of my mouth after I wash my face though! This oil has been a miracle worker - it moisturized my face without leaving a greasy residue... trust me when I saw it's absorbed fast! For my whole face I usually need around maybe a dime sized amount? Sometimes more if I want extra moisture. It kinda smells like sesame oil, not as strong though and it goes away around 5-10 minutes after you rub it in. I don't notice a scent except when I first put it on and if it irks you that much you can just add a couple drops of lavender or whatever essential oil you like. This has not only moisturized my skin but has improved the quality of it as well! My skin feels softer and is more radiant. I also stopped picking at my pimples, so that also reduced the pimples on my skin. I still break out sometimes.. and even then it's only one or two, not like 3-4 in the same area like it'd be before! Jojoba oil will prep your face as well... I put my mineral powder foundation and blush on right after this, great! It's been about a month and a half and I've only used like 1/10th of the bottle--it'll last you a LONG time! It's really worth the buy! I put on my acne moisturizer first, then rub on the jojoba oil gently! Some people just use jojoba oil but I need something underneath, just my routine! (Also, give it some time.. I saw results within a week, but some say sooner and some say later, be patient! If you keep on switching around between products it'll make your skin crazy and more prone to breakouts. I cannot stress this enough: stop picking your pimples!! It stretches the pores and makes it scar way easier.) All in all, it's a great buy and you won't regret it -- give it a try!

If you have Dyshidrosis, like I do, then you know that it is hard to find skin products that help the situation and don't irritate your condition. Even lotions labeled "hypoallergenic" still irritate my fingers, but this oil does not. Because of my Dyshidrosis, I use prescription anti-inflammatory steroid creams to combat flare ups, but this leaves your skin thinner and prone to cracking. I have had one particular crack in the crease of my index finger that has been an open wound that refuses to heal for a solid year or more; after using this product every day for a week, the crack that refused to heal has actually healed! This stuff definitely helps flare ups of dyshydrosis to stop getting any worse and start to heal, I don't know if it actively acts as an inflammatory or it just protects the skin from irritation, whatever the case it actually helps and allows me to use the prescription cream less frequently (which is a great thing). The way i use this product is I rub a thin layer all over my hands and then let it soak in for 10 to 15 minutes and then blot off any extra with a tissue paper or napkin. After you let it soak in and blot off any extra, your hands just feel like they naturally would if you had your natural oils intact, it's not too greasy. This oil is especially great to use after you have had to wash your hands frequently, it will restore the flexibility of your skin and protect it from drying out any further or cracking. Because of my allergies I am very sensitive to fragrances; this oil has a slight nutty odor which doesn't bother my sinuses, and I actually find it kind of pleasant smelling. I don't bother to write reviews unless i'm really happy with a product, or really unhappy, but in this case I couldn't be more pleased with the results. However, I do agree that the bottle is a little hard to use without making a mess, but I'm just going to buy a reusable glass bottle with a built in eye dropper and enjoy the savings on future purchases due to the cheap bottle; The bottle is not really a big deal, all in all the product is great. Please note that when reading other reviews from this and other products, that sometimes people get bottles of oil that have gone rancid, so make sure when you get it that it has a pleasant nutty odor and doesn't stink really bad! Also, if you have to constantly wash your hands because you're in the medical field or something similar, I highly recommend this product. After using this for a while now I've also realized that this works amazingly well as a topical anti itch remedy as well. I can go from skin that feels like it's on fire from itching to calm and cool in less than a minute. Great stuff.

I first got jojoba oil to help with my scalp- so far, I haven't had much luck with that.I am not entirely sure how to use it for that, so that's probably my fault. For every other use, however, this stuff rocks!! It really helps my frizzy split ends, I can put it on in the morning and it won't look greasy! My hair looks greasy with pretty much any "frizz reducing" product so it's great. I put a few drops in my conditioner too. But I also love it for my skin. It is the best makeup remover I've used, hands down. I have tried a lot, and most don't get all the makeup off or irritate my eyes. This stuff not only gets everything off, it also moisturizes at the same time. And it's natural so I don't feel bad wiping my eyes with it! It's also a great moisturizer for my face. My skin hasn't been dry once this winter since using it (and it usually gets bad in the winter). My skin is usually oily and acne prone, but this doesn't make it look greasy and it feels great. Hasn't helped much with my acne but I wasn't really expecting it to. This is my new favorite beauty product because it's so versatile, natural, and actually works! Everyone needs a bottle in their medicine cabinet!

I can't believe I took me so long to get into the natural product world, but I am officially a convert lol. This oil is an amazing moisturizer. Makes my skin feel sooo soft and look fresh and glowy (think JLo!). Literally everything makes me break out but surprisingly this doesn't! You only need a small drop. I'll never use chemical ridden moisturizers again! It's inexpensive too!I LOVE this oil!!! It soaks into my skin and makes my skin feel beautiful. I do my usual dermalogica face routine and use a couple of drops on my face before I go to bed. In the morning my face is completely radiant and my skin feels silky soft. I also use this oil in the bath which is lovely. I've been using this product for about 9 weeks and my friends and family have all bought it too. My skin looks and feels very healthy - I'm very impressed :-) Definitely recommend this to a friend also someone who wants smooth skin also its great for hair growth and keeps your hair looking healthy. HOPE THIS HELPS :)

I'm not sure if this is really 100% pure jojoba oil; but so far, I like it. :) I bought it mainly to use on my face and scalp. I get dry scalp in the winter and needed something to help moisturize it. Additionally, I have acne. I read it is good for your face since it's like your natural face oils. It was a great price for 4 ounces! And I had fast shipping. I was a little apprehensive when I opened the bottle. It smelled nutty, kind of like sesame oil...and I could see how some people think it smells like bacon. So, I decided to research about what it should smell like and look like. (I've never bought jojoba oil before.) I compared pictures and the color seems on par with other bottles. Many of the sources I found said that it's normal for the oil to smell nutty, and it can seem to smell like sesame oil or bacon to some people. I also discovered that jojoba oil should have a buttery consistency when it is cooled. If it doesn't, it probably has a carrier oil mixed in. So, I tossed it into the fridge and left it there overnight. In the morning, I looked at the bottle and tried to test the consistency. It looked slightly marbled, but it was all hardened. The consistency seemed similar to butter, but some people might think it is like wax. (It was more like wax, right out of the fridge. After setting for a few minutes, it was like butter.) As soon as I took some out of the bottle, it quickly melt back to oil. In conclusion, I'm not sure if this is truly all jojoba or not. I'll try to post a picture of the oil cold. Hopefully, someone with more knowledge can give me a definite answer. As for the packaging, I was happy the inside was sealed but disappointed it came in a plastic bottle. Most essential oils are packaged in a darkened glass bottle to help it stay "fresh" and some oils will eat away at plastic. The dispenser top is okay, but I would have preferred a glass dropper. I found a website that tests essential oils from different sellers and posts the findings, while remaining unbiased. In the future, I plan on buying jojoba oil from one of the verified sellers in order to compare the two bottles. I'll try to remember to post my findings. As for the oil being organic, it doesn't say organic anywhere on the bottle... Please feel free to comment, if you have any additional information. Thanks!

Like all the natural products, you cannot expect an instant, dramatic affect from this product, at least when it comes to hair. However, I did find that it reduced formation of split ends, so I am very content with this product. The trick with this oil, though, is to not over-do it. I always apply it after shower when my hair is wet, which makes it kind of hard to see if I'm applying too much or not. I have to be very careful about how much I'm applying because if too much oil is applied, it makes my hair look very greasy and dirty later on... I have long hair that reaches about 2 inches below my breast, and it takes me two pea-sized globs to distribute all over my hair except for the roots. Other than hair, I don't use it on my skin because I found that it causes whiteheads. But jojoba oil is a good ingredient to include in DIY lip balms because it makes it very moisturizing and shiny. Overall, it's natural and very pleasant. I would definitely repurchase it, perhaps in a bigger bottle next time.

This product is wonderful! Since I bought it for the first time last year i have been consistently using this in my daily facial cleanse routine. Usually wash my face with CeraVe Foaming Facial Clenser (normal to oily), was initially using Thayers Witch Hazel as toner and finishing off with this jojoba oil, do it in the morning when I wake up and another time before bed. Lately I've been slacking on the witch hazel but my skin has been great this past year! I never really had problematic skin, just the usual blackheads on the nasal area and a couple pimples here and there every couple months especially during my period. But with jojoba oil I don't think I recall having a pimple at all this past year! I think I might have felt a potential pimple forming and the area hurt but it never became a pimple. I'm impressed! I read up on jojoba oil and how it technically is a wax with a composition that is similar to the natural oils your skin produces so it makes your skin... "Think" that it doesn't need to over or under produce the natural oils. My blackheads are still there but definitely diminished a ton to a point that they don't bother me as they used to... The pores seem to have either shrunk or doesn't look as nasty clogged up as they used to. I'm pleased and glad to buy this product again.

I recently came across this oil on my search for an all natural facial moisturizer. I promised myself that when my previous chemical-laced bottle of facial moisturizer ran out I would replace it with an all natural product. I was very hesitant about putting ANY type of oil on my face. My face produces a lot of oil and shine like a star!! So, I figured "oil" would be the LAST thing for me to put on my face....until I came across Jojoba oil. Through my research I discovered that Jojoba oil technically it is not actually an oil, but rather a wax ester. This is important b/c out of all of the compounds in nature, this wax ester is the most similar to human skin oil which is called sebum. When we apply Jojoba to the skin can it "tricks" our skin into thinking it is producing enough oil, thus balancing oil production. For acne-prone people Jojoba oil is non-comedogenic so you can use it without fear. I tested it for myself and my face is less shiny than usual! At the same time I believe this oil is great for all skin types...not just people with oily skin. I've also used this oil in my mix of scalp oils for hair growth. I highly recommend this product. My research indicated that this is a great brand. This isn't the organic version, but I don't think it's necessary.

I have used this product before and it’s worked wonders for my skin, so i reordered. However the bottle I received now, the cap was broken!!

Good oroduct

Un no lo uso pero es el tamaño y todo como viene en la descripcion

I’ve tried various different oils for my hair without success but this stuff is amazing. I have coarse bleached, dry hair which knots easily. Usually when I use oil/a they are too heavy leaving my hair more brittle after washing off but this oil is so light weight yet moisturising at the same time. I left it on overnight. It left my hair so soft and without that greasy residue. It Was easy to wash out. The bottle is small but it is a very good quality product. A little goes a long way…

Moisturizer Great and good quality
