I'm trying to use less harsh chemicals/stuff made in a lab/avoid marketing schemes and I ran out of my fancy face lotion so thought I'd give this a try. This is so moisturizing, I love it! This is more hydrating than any other moisturizer I've ever used and it absorbs quickly. I wore it under make-up yesterday and I felt like I had a youthful glow all day. It felt nice to use on my hands and nail beds. This is going to be part of my skincare routine going forward.

Penetrates into skin. I spread a thin layer of jojoba oil all over my body when I get out of the shower. Soothing and moisturizing.

Fast shipping. Great product. My hair and skin love it

A little background on my skin type. I’m 36 years old and have combination skin that is extremely sensitive and very acne prone (mix of hormonal acne and other sorts). My finicky skin causes me a lot of heartache and has resulted in many tears. For years I have been avoiding any type of moisturizers out of fear i’d break out. Instead, i was using face products geared towards “acne” and clear skin which in turn made my sensitive skin even worse. After much research I finally pulled the trigger and decided to try out the oil cleansing method (sans coconut oil because that stuff is HIGH on the comedogenic scale at a 5). Instead, i tried jojoba which is only 2 on comedogenic scale (so not completely pore clogging free) but it has a composition closest to that of human sebum so it works.My thoughts. I have found a new holy grail! This stuff has completely helped my red and irritated skin to calm down. I will sometimes mix this with Argan or hemp oil (both 0 on comedogenic scale meaning it will not clog pores) and oil cleanse with that. After oil cleansing i will wash my face with an oil free cleanser of some sort (or miceller water) and then finish off with a little more oil which I pat into my skin and leave on overnight. I will rotate between jojoba and Argan or hemp depending on how dry my skin feels due to weather. Instead of waking up with an oily face, i wake up with a glowing non oily complexion. It’s amazing.Tip. There is no such thing as “skin purging” so if you try this and it is causing additional breakouts then it is not the right oil for your skin type. If that happens, try Argan or hemp to see how one of those works. Everyone has a different skin composition so it’s possible that although this works for me, it may not work for you. If it doesn’t work on your face though, use it on your cuticles and body because it will surely leave you with soft healthy skin!!

I can't say enough good things about Desert Essence Organic Jojoba Oil. I have tried other brands and this one is the best there is. Other brands had oil that smelled strongly or had an off "odor". I have never had that issue with this product. It goes on smoothly, gets absorbed quickly. I have very sensitive skin and anything with fragrances leaves me with a reaction. So several years ago I had to stop using all commercial moisturizers. I began looking for something that would work for me, that was non-comodegenic and fragrance-free. This is it. I use it as a facial moisturizer, body moisturizer, and in place of a hand creme. It leaves my skin soft and calm. I told family members and friends about it and now so many of them have switched over from other synthetic products, and every one of them swears by it. My only complaint (a friendly request for Desert Essence, really) is that I wish this came in larger bottles/bulk packaging. We go through so much of this in my household every month, that it feels like a major environmental waste to keep buying these small plastic bottles. That and, once the bottles are opened for use, they leak if the bottle is sideways in a bag. So if you take yours to the gym, or carry it with you in your bag ( I do both, since I use it each time I wash my hands), I found a workaround -- the bottles have a pour cap, and under that, the bottle mouth comes sealed with a foil disk. If you only peel the disk back a little bit, pour out the oil you need, then press the disk back against the mouth and tightly close the cap, the bottle does not leak when sideways. But you have to be mindful. Other than that, this is one of my all-time favorite personal use products and one I swear by at all times.

I started using this based on the the reviews on a popular makeup/skincare board. I am in my mid 30s and still struggle with occasional acne and clogged pores, yet my skin has been dry and I am beginning to get some fine lines. Based on my history of pretty severe acne breakouts in my 20's and sensitivity to a variety of popular skincare products, including most sunscreens, moisturizers and makeup, I never considered putting oil on my face; not in a million years would I have tried this before I began my research. Recently my skin has been somewhat dehydrated and I had started occasionally using Retin A Micro to unclog my pores and relieve myself of some stubborn blackheads. My skin was unable to handle this routine, but every night cream and heavy moisturizer I tried either wasn't hydrating enough or reclogged my pores. I read online some reviews of buffering the Retin A Micro with oils, and how Jojoba oil can intensify moistuizers without being harsh on acne prone skin. I am so glad I tried this. I now use it every morning and every night and massage into my skin very liberally. I still use the Retin A Micro about three nights a week right on top of this and I don't get the redness and peeling that I did before. No clogged pores or acne. I will say that my 14 year old daughter has great skin but tends to be dry with excema. She had started peeling from too many acne products. I used this on her skin once, and it looked great unti the next day. She broke out in 3 huge pimples in areas she normally does not get acne. I can only assume this product was the issue since nothing else changed in her routine. Bottom line is maybe try the product in a limited area before using it daily, just to ensure it won't cause a reaction. My bottle does have an official "Organic" seal on the manufacturer label. I ordered the 4 fl oz.
