Acne.org Organic Jojoba Oil (100% Organic) 8 oz.

This is the second bottle of Acne.org jojoba oil that I've purchased. I did try a cheaper brand (Dr. Adorable, Inc.) and didn't really like the smell. I started using this product because I wanted an oil that removed make-up and it works fantastic and it does not clog pores. I also add this to my facial cleanser, facial masks, body lotion and I also add this to my dog's shampoo for his dry skin and works fantastic.On a side note: My daughter has been suffering from severe acne rosacea, sensitive, dry skin for 6 years. This has been directly related to the Yaz type of synthetic hormone Drospirenone. My daughter went on the pill at 15 because of normal hormonal acne and bad periods and we thought we would take care of both and I had success with the pill in the early 80's. This pill experience for my daughter has been a complete disaster. Doctors did not help at all. None of them had a clue about these pills or acne. They only care about making money off of these horrible acne products. I would take her to the doctor and would tell them that these Yaz pills are not working they would switch us to another brand but the problem is that they were the same Drospirenone hormone but with a different name. Two years ago I finally figured out that all of my daughter's ailments were caused by this synthetic hormone Drospirenone. The FDA has issued warnings about these synthetic pills. These synthetic hormones are seven times more likely to cause a heart attack/stroke than regular pills. I immediately took my daughter off the pill over a year ago and the problems persisted. Too many to mention. Her hormones were trying to adjust because that hormone was in her body for 5 years. My daughter has basically been going through menopause at 20 years of age! It is finally starting to taper off after a year off the pill! I fear some of these problems could be permanent. They recently said that these synthetic hormones actually change the brain. Her acne rosacea if finally going away but It took me two years to find the right organic products for her sensitive skin. All of those over the counter products make it worse. I had to do this on my own because doctors don't have a clue.One thing I realized is that if you have hormonal acne during puberty that is normal but if you continue to have acne/rosacea after puberty is over than you actually have a disease or you are having an allergic reaction to the chemicals in the acne products. Acne/rosacea are diseases caused by inflammation. My son had terrible acne during puberty but once puberty was over it went away. He uses no products on his skin. Also all of these over the counter chemicals make acne/rosacea worse. Benzoyl peroxide has a bleaching agent in it!!! Salicylic acid is also horrible. People who can tolerate these products become use to them as a crutch but when they try to get off of them the acne comes back even worse. All of these products destroy the good bacteria on our skin and the natural protective mantle and leave it open to the bad bacteria (P. Acnes) and horrible skin irritation. They want you to buy these products forever. They never will cure acne/rosacea because it's a billion dollar industry. I also finally found a product that killed off the P. acnes bacteria without hurting and irritating the skin and I figured this out by accident. It's HYDROGEN PEROXIDE!! I am going through menopause so I have hormonal acne and have been testing myself with products for my daughter. I tried it on a large cystic acne on my back and it worked and decided to try it on my face. I took a Q-tip and applied on one pimple on my forehead and it went away quickly without any skin irritation. Then I used a cotton ball and applied it directly on other pimples on my face and it worked without any irritation. Tried it next on my daughter with a Q-tip only on one pimple on her forehead but did not try it yet on her acne/rosace cheeks. It worked also on her without irritation and tried it next on her cheeks and it worked. She now uses this twice a day without any problems and her acne/rosacea has now subsided. See other products below that we use.These are the organic products we use:- Teva Skin Care's Organic SBR cleanser (only cleanser that works on my daughter's skin) with a few drops of Acne.org jojoba oil- Hydrogen Peroxide applied with cotton ball (start out by testing on one pimple and go from there) to kill the P. Acnes bacteria.- Just Natural Skin Care's Anti-Aging Natural Facial Lotion with a few drops of jojoba oil (always add water to the hands or face when applying lotion. Skin should never be dry otherwise it will not absorb into the skin.) You can also try Roscara Wild Irish Seaweed Skin Rescue Sooth lotion/gel with a few drops of jojoba oil for rosacea/redness. Again make sure your skin is damp before applying.- Kiss My Face Botanical Acne Gel (apply directly on acne until fully absorbed into the skin)- Teva Organic on the spot acne treatment (They have one for the day and night)- Teva Skin Care's Renewal Therapy Enzyme Exfoliation Mask (Exfoliation is extremely important. Uses this at least once a week with a few drops of jojoba oil.- Spa's Premium Dead Sea Mud Mask (Use this 1-2 times a week for 15-20 minutes) My daughter uses Teva's mask once a week and the mud mask once a week. This is the best mud mask I have ever used. It is actually diminishing those stubborn acne red marks.There is also something that can help/cure acne but it's going to sound bizarre and that is urine!! I know that sounds nuts but I do know someone who tried it and it worked!! He applied the urine with a cotton ball until it completely went away. When the urine comes out of the body, it is completely sterile. Doctors do not tell patients because of the "ick" factor and it's FREE!! Doctor's don't want a cure. My daughter does not want to try this method but I would go and check it out. Stay away from the Accutane products. Accutane is one of the most dangerous drugs ever put on the market. It might put acne in a dormancy period but it does NOT cure acne. I have known people who have been on this product a few times and it keeps coming back. My son tried it for a week and went off of it because he was having severe side effects. Horrible pains in his kidneys, etc. The original manufacturer stopped making it because of the severe side effects and deaths/suicides caused by Accutane. Many lawsuits. Also these doctors are getting kick backs from the pharmaceutical/chemical/acne product manufacturers. I took my daughter to a skin doctor and he barely looked at her and didn't ask what she had been using or if she was on the pill. He gave her a few shots of "something" for the inflammation. I had to go online to find out what these shots were and they were anti-inflammation shots. He spent the entire time pushing Accutane. He was disgusting!! It cost me $100.00 for that visit.Also make sure you are washing your pillowcase every day and your bedsheets once a week. I use a sulfate free declicate detergent and rinse twice.Switch to chemical free shampoo and conditioner and keep the bathroom area clean.Switch to one cleaner for the home. The only product I use is Bio Green Clean. Best organic cleaning product in the world and Made in the USA!!!Do not use face brushes to apply make-up. No matter how often you clean these brushes they always have bad bacteria on them. Only apply organic make-up to the skin.Since acne/rosacea are inflammatory diseases, stay away from food that causes inflammation. Try to eat foods that help with inflammation. You might want to consider a probiotic. Eat organic whole foods without chemicals, pesticides, etc. Sugar is the number one ingredient that causes inflammation along with High Fructose Corn Syrup and other highly processed foods, i.e., the white stuff. Stay away from fast food!!Good Luck and spread the word about hydrogen peroxide for acne/rosacea.

I got this with the big 16oz acne treatment as well as the AHA because I'm from Costa Rica and it's just a bit expensive to get these one by one since they have to go through the whole package ckecking and taxes are pretty high, so I decided to get everything at once. The jojoba oil I love, starting by the bottle (just prefect to get a few drops or as many as you need) and ending with how it works, of course. I use about 10-20 drops in my hair (not the scalp) a couple of times a week at night, not regularly or anything, pretty much whenever I have time and just leave it until the next day that I wash my hair and it is soft, esay to handle and shinnier. I use a couple of drops in my lips as well sometimes to make them smoother. I haven't yet implemented it to the moisturizer becuase I feel like it is already a bit oily, but I just started the regimen a couple of weeks ago so I might do it along the way. I've seen that it can also be put in your daily conditioner or wathever you use to treat your hair (if you do). I mainly got it to mix with the moisturizer as it is suggested but I haven't done that yet since I just started the regimen and don't feel quite sure about the idea because my skin looks already quite oily with only the acne.org moisturizer. Only possible problem if you buy this outside the US is the whole taxes issues in your country, it can get pretty expensive and delay the delivery (I waited for the whole package for about 3 weeks). But the product is good. If you only buy this though (not with the treatment) it might not be worth it, better to get it in your local macrobiotic store, if they have it.

I have moderate acne and dried out skin because of the medications that i use against my acne problem. I used olive oil for my skin, but i think it was too thick and cloged my pores. I was looking for something that would bring my skin healthy look and glow as i had 5 years ago. I am 26 years old, and few years ago developed damn acne problem. Using all those harsh products made my skin look horrible, way overdried and saggy, giving me a look of much older person. I was almost depressed. I finally went to a dermatologist and she gave me prescribed medications for acne, but still they where too drying. My acne almost gone, but dtyness was still there. I did reaserch and found out about jojoba oil, i decided to buy this one. I use it with medical super moisturizer cream. And it made wonders to my skin (i used before only moisturizer and it wouldn't help much). This oil is so light, absorbes very quickly, i use it at night and in the morning, and my skin gets young glow again!!! YEAAAA!!! GReat product!! I will definitly keep using it, it became my savier!!! Dry flakes that i had on my cheeks and forehead where gone whithing few days!! I just love it!!! Thanks a lot for this product!!!!!! No breakouts too!!! My mom stealing it from me, and she loves this oil too:)))))

I love this brand, but this oil didn't cut it for me. I ran out of my original jojoba oil, & figured I'd try the acne.org. The original oil I had was almost watery. Not thick or greasy feeling. & no fragrance . In this case, that's exactly what this oil was. It almost seems like it had a filler oil added to it, even though it says it is 100 % organic. The smell also reminds me of cooking oil. Not recommended for acne prone skin. I didnt want to waste it, so ive been using it as a body moisturizer. (A little goes a long way).

This just kind of made my skin shiny and oily looking, it stopped from making my skin look dry though from the benzyol peroxide treatment, but my skin still felt crazy dry, even when i smiled i could feel it! I recommend if you do decide to use any drying/peeling products to use Cetaphil moisturiser, its the best in hydrating your skin and doesnt leave it looking shiny, your skin eats it up!
