I LOVE this product! It does so much for my hair and yet it does so much for my skin also! Not a bad price for all the uses too! — 3 years, 7 months ago

Magic!
alictasia (52 reviews)

I had an allergic reaction to some skin care products and an aesthetician recommended that I use jojoba as a cleanser and moisturizer until my skin recovered. Yes, I thought the same thing, oil as a cleanser? She told me that jojoba was almost identical to the oils our skin produces and said just rub a little on your face and then rinse it off. Since I had red splotches all over my face, what did I have to loose? I turned out to be a winner with my new MIRACLE go to cleanser and moisturizer! I am still using it 5 years later, and that allergic reaction turned out to be a great benefit for my beautiful soft skin. — 1 year ago

Ah, the wonders of Jojoba.
luxylexi (234 reviews)

This oil has been touted for years as a miracle. It can be used to remove makeup and moisturize skin, hair and cuticles. I was extremely skeptical about getting oil anywhere near my acne prone skin, after all we've been brainwashed to believe that oil causes zits and only "oil free" products should be used if we have acne. But reaching my 25th birthday and STILL battling zits, i was willing to try. Jojoba is actually a liquid wax and is very much like our skin's own sebum (does anyone else hate that word?) And i was surprised to find that this actually healed my breakouts. Today i use this as a facial moisturizer, just three of four drops works, i rub it into my cuticles after applying it to my face and/or brush my hands along my hair to tame fly-aways and give it shine. It's a great massage oil that won't aggrivate body acne and makes skin SUPER soft. You can find jojoba oil almost anywhere these days, Trader Joes, Vitamin shop, Henry's, Whole Foods etc. Prices vary but they're never unreasonable, esp considering all it's uses. — 1 year ago

Mixed Feelings

I like this, but I feel like it leaves my skin slightly too oily and doesn't smell that good. — 1 week ago

OMG !!!
peunwha (40 reviews)

OMG! i didn't expect this would be good this much. i read good reviews and bought it. right after i apply this, i felt this was oily and not right for me. HOWEVER, after about 30 min ( it took a while for it to be absorbed fully on my skin) , it wasn't oily at all, and it gave me Gorgeous texture and Moisturizing. this is cheep but so worthy much more than that. — 1 year, 8 months ago

BABY SOFT SKIN. no lie.
wasabi (17 reviews)

I initially bought it b/c I heard that it can reap some great benefits for one's hair - notably, hair growth. I have some thin-ass asian hair and I was searching desperately for something to help promote new growth. I've attempted to use the jojoba oil for my hair as a hot-oil treatment, a scalp massage, and a leave-in conditioner. I don't know, maybe I was using it incorrectly or I wasn't using it long enough for change to be noticeable in my hair or it just didn't work for me but I didn't see these amazing results like others. So, for a good couple months it remained untouched underneath my sink until one day I decided to give it another go. But instead, I used it as a skin moisturizer after my shower. At first, it does seem to give an uncomfortable, oily residue but I mean - it IS oil, so what do you expect? But after letting it sit on my skin for a few minutes I noticed it made my skin BABY soft. And I mean BABYYYY soft. But you have to give this stuff a good 20 minutes or so to sink in, after that, your skin no longer has that greasy feeling. Just wonderful moisturization. Great stuff - totally worth the second chance. BUT I will note that it is quite messy and the oil kinda gets everywhere. The bottle sitting on my dresser right now probably has a thin film of oil all over it. But that's a tiny price I'm willing to pay in exchange for baby soft skin I haven't experienced since.. well.. I was a baby! :) — 1 year, 11 months ago

love it
angelcake77 (90 reviews)

i did a lot of research before buying this product and saw that it had extremely high ratings, and i can understand why. it's a fantastic moisturizer and is great for sensitive, acne-prone, problem skin. i have some exzema on my face and this gives me the all moisturizing i need, and also, it has healed and helped prevent my acne!! i can't believe that after all these years of trying so many different moistuizers, this inexpensive, simple product was the answer. the only problem i have is i don't like the packaging of the lid, because you don't really have a good control over how much product comes out. also, just letting you know that it does feel pretty oily on your skin and you have to wait a while for it to absorb into your skin. other than that, i honestly believe in this product and recommend it to anyone and everyone. — 2 years, 7 months ago

Two thumbs up!

I love this because it has multiple uses. I like to use this as a hot oil treatment for my hair and scalp, and leave-in conditioner (just a little works great!), a body moisturizers, and as a makeup remover. — 3 years, 7 months ago

Great
sunshine2 (90 reviews)

This is a great moisturizer. The oil quickly absorbs into your skin so you don't have to worry about getting dressed. I also like that it can be used on your skin and hair with great results for both. — 4 years ago
