not as hyped up to be
It did not do anything for me. I have combination skin and a few lines are beginning to show. But this product did nothing. I have to apply after a few hours because when I look in the mirror and it's the same combination skin. Oily on some parts, dry on other parts. I think this product is better in combination with other ingredients found in moisturizers that contain it...e.g. like with shea butter or other humectants. But by itself it does not do the job. I went back to my Crisco shortening that I apply at night. And to drinking enough water. And lots of fruits and vegetables. And accepting the fact that no matter how we try to retard it, age eventually will creep up on us. I guess the other secret is keeping your heart clean of intentions without intentional malice to hurt other human beings or be above people. Strive to be kind always no matter who you are dealing with. That will brighten your aura. Kids will love you and will be attracted to you. The camera will capture your beautiful aura and you'll be photogenic, and you will age slowly.

love it
this is one of the best oils i have used. i have very sensitive skin so using body oils and lotions is not a good idea for me. Jojoba oil seems like the only oil that i don't have a reaction to. i use it with my shampoo to make my hair softer. also, as soon as i get out of the shower i rub oil on my skin while my skin is still damp. this locks in moisture and my skin stays soft until the next day i shower. i do the same thing to my 18month old son. this is the only oil i use on myself and my baby.

Wonderful allover facial treatment
I have been using jojoba oil on my face for almost a week now and I am absolutely amazed. I started using shikakai and amla powders on my face a while ago (you can see my reviews for them as well) and was extremely impressed by how soft it made my skin feel, but it became very drying after a while. So I tried a few different oils and really wasn't very happy with any of them until I tried jojoba. Not only has it made my skin even softer than the amla and shakakai powders alone (which is amazing in itself!), but it also leaves my skin feeling cool and hydrated without being at all oily. My skin has also become more uniform as well. I normally have combination skin, oily on some parts and dry in others. The jojoba has completely balanced me out and I don't have oily and dry patches anymore, just super hydrated, soft skin all over. I've also noticed that the discoloration I've had on some parts of my skin (from old acne scarring) is fading significantly. I have no idea how that's possible, but it's happening! I recommend this oil to EVERYONE - whether you have dry skin or oily skin and especially if you have combination skin like I do. Just keep in mind that less is definitely more. I use about four to six drops. Any more than that will make my skin feel oily, I'm assuming that's because my skin can't absorb more than that at a time. I also HIGHLY recommend using tea tree oil with your jojoba (one part tea tree to three parts jojoba, and if that irritates your skin, use less tea tree.) I've been using this with my jojoba oil for acne and my face has cleared up almost completely. Studies have shown that tea tree oil is just as effective as benzoyl peroxide in treating acne and I think it's much kinder to your face. I think if you're looking for a natural way to soften and hydrate your skin you should definitely give jojoba oil a try.
On a side note, I personally did not like jojoba on my hair. I do use it on my scalp before washing my hair to help with dandruff (I use it in combination with neem, cedarwood, lemongrass and tea tree oil) but I only leave it in overnight and then wash it out. While it will completely absorb into the pores on your face and scalp, it does NOT penetrate the hair shaft so although it left my hair shiny, it also left it feeling greasy which I can`t tolerate. I've been using coconut oil in combination with olive oil (50/50) instead which works much better for me and both of those oils do penetrate the hair shaft. My results with coconut/olive oil on my hair were amazing (you can see my review on coconut oil for more on that.) But for my face and scalp, jojoba is incredible!!!

great for hair
Jojoba oil seems to be the new best natural oil for hair treatment (moisturizing and shine) after the endangered species act prohibited the use of sperm whale oil in the US in the 1970s.
I personally do not follow the instructions on the bottle, but instead apply the oil generously over my hair and let it soak for a couple of hours before washing it. The hair does feel nice and silky after treatments. The reason I spared 1 star is that perhaps I expected even more. For face and neck skin, jojoba oil is a possibility but argan oil and shea butter are superior.
Overall excellent natural product.
