Naissance Organic Golden Jojoba Oil (No. 233) - 225ml - Cold Pressed, for Face, Skin, Hair, Eyelashes, Nails, Hair Growth

First time purchase of this Jojoba oil, feels nice and thick consistency, it will go a long way, I pour this oil into a smaller bottle that has a tube in and the right amount of oil fills up the tube once I’ve squeezed the top lid, so much easier to apply once I’ve rubbed it around in the palms of my hands then smooth it onto my face through to my neck before applying my day/night moisturiser to let everything soak in gently, I feel this products is value for money, it has a golden colour, this size bottle will last a long time.

I wanted to wait a few months before leaving a review so I could give jojoba oil a fair chance. I bought it because I was getting lots of little bumpy white spots on my forehead which looked awful - the type you can't cover with make-up. Despite taking my make up off before bed every night, I just couldn't shift the spots and when someone suggested jojoba oil for this, I was like 'OIL? On my oily skin? How will that help?' But now I'm eating my words, I love jojoba oil!Within less than a week I was already noticing a huge improvement and the bumpy spots on my forehead were reduced hugely. Now, after three months of using it, I have no bumpy spots whatsoever and the skin all over my face is soft, smooth and glowing. It's really improved my confidence.I know this product is recommended for oily skinned people to make their skin less oily, with the idea that by jojoba oil mimicking the sebum that your skin produces, your skin will think it's produced enough already and therefore not produce anymore. I wouldn't say I've noticed a reduction in oiliness if I'm honest but there are so many other benefits of this product and it has never once made me break out - the complete opposite. This is the first moisturiser I've ever used that doesn't make me break out, I avoided using one in the past and suffered dry (but still oily!) skin as a result.A good tip with this is to really massage it into you skin rather than just applying it and letting it sit on the surface. And you only need a tiny bit, meaning the bottle lasts ages. Would recommend this brand of jojoba oil 100%.

There's a lot of info on this product on the internet with I think the majority saying it had some benefits for their skin, with some saying it was a miracle cure and the rest split into no affect and was bad for them. As with everything there will be likers and haters, people who it worked for and others it didn't . This is the same for any product you put on skin with some people saying their skin got worse and others no effect and some with skin improvement. I think for this the majority of people say their condition got worse at first . Mainly due to the pores getting cleansed from the inside out and also because it just took time for their skin to get used to it and as with a lot of products the skins natural reaction at first is to revolt against the product with side effects. It got worse with me with my acne going from less than medium to more than medium and I doubted my wisdom in even trying it for a while but my skin did feel good and soft so I persevered and I am glad I did because it was worse for months and then it got considerably better to the point now at least face and neck wise it has all but gone completely. The problem lies in how long you are prepared to wait and there's the risk that if you wait and wait and still no joy that there will come a time it is apparent it just aint for you and maybe the damage of more acne etc will have been done by then with more scarring to follow for the worst affected. It's a fine line, all I can say is I myself waited for longer than was reasonably suggested by others online and it paid off in the end.I guess some people take longer for the pores to give up their blocked nastiness than others I would suggest unless your skin gets really bad and that's after say 6 weeks and still really bad you should stop and lets face it if your skin is bad to start with maybe you should go down the anti biotic route and maybe the severe anti biotic route with seeing a dermatologist. Don't think this will have much affect on bad acne but if your on strong antibiotics then liberal use of this will I imagine be beneficial to keep your skin from the drying affects of those treatments. You should use this product liberally anyway a small 5p sized amount in the palm of your hand should be enough for face, neck, back and arms if needed. I use slightly more as my acne is gone now and I use it more a s a moisturizer that wont give me acne because it doesn't block pores.So give it time and unless your acne gets unbearably worse keep with it, use it liberally and don't expect quick results over night. I think it's great and even as a moisturizer alone it works great with the added benefit it doesn't block pores, it supposedly also helps with smoothing scarring and has vitamin/mineral advantages too. Great product if you ask me.

I use this mixed in with aloe vera gel as a moisturiser for my acne prone / rosacea skin. I literally use 1 - 2 drops at the most and never apply it directly on the skin on its own as I think it'd be too abrasive. I think the 5 - 6 drops certain websites recommend is excessive and probably not helpful for acne as your skin is likely producing a lot of oil anyway. So far its cleared my skin up of some small breakouts and leaves my face feeling lovely and soft. I've only given it 4 stars because it's hard to tell how much of my clear skin is the Jojoba oil and how much is the aloe vera. Together I think they're a pretty powerful combo.Give this a go but don't expect a magic cure within days and don't use it directly on the face. Mix it in with your moisturiser, whatever that may be.

I use this and Immortal's oil for hair growth as a remedy reccomended by a dermatologist. And it does wonders for my hair and hair growth rate. I had poor quality hair texture, and also hair was thin and not growing that much on the top of the head. After using this, and Taoist soap, with scalp massage, I have to go to the salon more often, and my hair texture and look has improved so much, my own sister thought i was doing some treatments for hair. Recommended for all hair types
