Tisserand Aromatherapy - Jojoba Organic Carrier Oil - Face and Body Blending Oil - 100% Natural and Pure Carrier Oil for Essential Oils Mixing

i love this product. As an asian in UK, i had a hard time looking for the right moisturizer for my skin when the cold dry winter comes. My T area and cheeks got red, chapped and irritated few weeks ago due to the winter dryness, i've tried different moisturizers and masks which claim to reduce redness but none helps. So i started doing research online and found this jojoba oil which people say does wonder on dry and acne prone skin. I used to have acne problem and so i was skeptical about apply oil on my face, but having read that this oil can mimic the effect of natural skin oil and signifies the skin not to produce excessive oil for acne growth, i decided to give it a try. This product comes in a nice little bottle, wrapped with bubbled paper. To try, I applied it after washing my face at night, it felt calming and not oily at all because my skin quickly absorbed the oil. Not only does it not irritate my acnes, it soothes my problematic skin and it feels so "protected". The next morning, my chapped cheeks were half gone and the acne were less obvious and my face looks less red than usual. I have to say this is a very good product and that i don't usually do reviews like this unless it is really good. These days when my period is here, i notice i have better looking skin and less acne which is unusual because my face always look dull and has break out during menstruation. i think it could be due to the anti-dioxant in the oil. Overall, i am truly pleased with this oil, i hope more people having my skin type will be benefited from this review. :)

Im 22 and ive suffered from mild acne for the past 6 years. Ive tried literally everything, cheap and expensive, been ripped off and ruined my skin trying all these different products. Ive also been on antibiotics on and off, and topical treatments from my GP as well as being referred to the dermatologist who also couldnt help! And my acne is not THAT bad so it was even more frustrating that I couldnt get rid of it for so many years. It really puts your confidence down to have all that on ur face. Only a fellow acne sufferer would understand! Anyway, i decided to keep it 100% natural, to the point where I even make my own face mask! Ive cut out all treatments from the GP and any other crap, keeping it as natural as possible. My sister in law recommended that although she does not have acne, only the occasional breakout. So i decided to go for jojoba oil after reading the reviews on how good it has been for acne. Firstly it is SO moisturising, but lovely and light! I mix a couple drops in my moisturiser in the morning and i love it. I just love the texture of this oil, so smooth and absorbed very quickly. At night i mix 5 drops of this with 2 drops of trilogy rosehip oil and one drop argan oil and my acne has shrunk ALOT! The spots are practically gone, just small bumps and pimples left, and my acne scars which will obviously take longer to dissapear. But so far i am loving this oil. Natural treatments take alot longer to work but the main thing ive learnt is be CONSISTENT! Dont give up!! It will work!! God has given us everything we need to live a healthy life, we just have to cut out all the nonsense and go back to basics. If you are in a similar situation, please give it a try. You've got nothing to lose! All the best! Xx

Very good product and an excellent size. Has a multitude of uses but I have mainly used this in my hair, both alone and with rosemary oil as a mask and it's brilliant. Use about 3 to 5 fair spoonfuls of jojoba oil and warm it up slightly in the microwave then add 5 drops of jojoba oil and use it as a hair mask for as long as you want it in your hair - I cover it with a towel to keep the heat in then just shampoo it out - I usually shampoo twice to make sure it's all out. My hair is silky soft every time and it keeps it from getting greasy. I usually have to wash my hair everyday as it's oily but after using this, I only do it every other day. I don't use it every time but as a treatment mask when I have time as I like to keep it in as long as possible. I also use it as a conditioner on my fringe but you literally need the tiniest amount otherwise it can make your hair sticky. Works much better as conditioner can make the skin errupt a bit but jojoba is a bit more gentle when it's lying on your skin. Will defo be purchasing again.

OK, this is going to be long. I've put a summary at the bottom. I decided to give a long explanation as that way perhaps more people can relate to different bits of details. I'm 23, male & have cystic (inflamed) acne. I have had very mild acne since 16 (1-2 every month) but since I came back from Uni 2 years ago, my face has exploded (1-4 cystic spots every week, coupled with acne marks makes unpleasant viewing). I tried Proactiv about a year ago and it cleared me up in 1.5 months and was naturally over the moon and become overconfident. I didn't like being dependent on a 3 step programme everyday for the rest of my life so I decided to switch to a more mild cleanser. And that's when it happened, my acne became much worse and more persistent - which I have seen with a lot of other people using Proactiv. In September 2013 I became depressed and went to a dermatologist who put me on antibiotics (minocycline I think), I didn't notice much difference and after 8 weeks, I decided to quit. I didn't want to become dependent on antibiotics everyday and didn't feel comfortable taking them. In November 2013 I then started BP and the regimen, however this made my face extremely red and whilst I got no new spots, my skin was extremely dry and my acne marks just would not go away (I heard BP slows down the healing process). The worst thing about the BP is it stimulated my oil glands to work overtime, because my face was so dry after a week I noticed about 5 hours after applying, my forehead especially was secreting a large amount of oil. This made me panic and I knew would just start a battle on my face of oil production vs BP and decided enough was enough and this was not the best approach. I kept researching online and in December 2013 I found Jojoba oil (briefly it has anti-inflammatory, anti-septic and anti-bacterial properties whilst containing essential fatty acids and Vit E), since this was natural and chemical-free I thought this would be the best option long term. I firstly used it as a moisturizer but it just sat on my skin and made my face feel really greasy. I left it for 6 hours and it still didn't absorb.. so I was about to throw this product away and went to wash it off. I noticed that when I washed it away, my skin was left feeling soft and had that 'glow' i had been reading about. I researched further and saw that people used this as a cleanser.. and herein starts the real story. HOW I APPLIED IT: In the shower, I washed my hair with shampoo first (trying not to get too much water on my face) so that the steam and heat from the water would open my pores. Once my skin was damp, I then took about 2-3 drops of oil into my palm and used my index finger to dip into the oil and place on my face, massaging in a circular motion. Once all the oil was on my face I would massage for about a minute and let it rest for 30 seconds before washing it off with the shower water. It will feel like its not coming off your skin but this is normal, don't try and scape it off. Once you finish, just gently pat your face with a towel and let the rest of the oil sink in. DURATION: I had a lot of acne marks more than active cysts at this point so I was looking to see any improvement with the hyper-pigmentation. However, this didn't really help. I honestly believe time is the best remedy. Having said that, I didn't get any new acne and my skin-tone had evened out after 3 weeks. In week 4 though I noticed I had some clogged pores, but they weren't cystic - they were under the skin. At this point I nearly quit as I heard it was clogging for some people and thought my face might explode. BUT I continued and by week 8 SOME of the clogged pores came to a head (very small dot like cysts that went away with minimal marks remaining). However I still have 1 remaining clogged pore still but because it is not inflamed or red, it isn't visible and I'm confident it will come through eventually. OILINESS: After 12 weeks, my skin became 85% clear but I had one major problem. Since using BP, my face was producing excess oil. I heard Jojoba would regulate that but it didn't in this timeframe. I showered at 7am and by 3pm my face was quite shiny. I decided that I would stop the Jojoba to see if my oil would decrease. A week after I stopped I noticed a considerable reduction in oiliness so I left it off for another week. However last month (March 2014) I developed 3 large inflamed cysts on my left cheek (I NEVER had this whilst using Jojoba oil) and I'm still recovering from the marks. I decided to go back to Jojoba but cut it down to 1 drop for my entire face. I did this for 3 weeks but the oiliness was roughly the same as using 2-3 drops. PRESENT: So 3 weeks ago I decided again to come off Jojoba, and for 2 weeks it was great, my oiliness was reducing by the second week and had no new cysts - I finally thought I'd beaten acne! I decided to swap the Jojoba for ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) toner followed by Aloe Vera gel in the evenings instead of the morning. I heard ACV can balance oil production and remove acne marks (I had a few left on my left cheek). I diluted 50/50 with water and had no irritation... Then last Friday I developed one HUGE spot on my right cheek and 4 more large cysts on the right hand side of my face. I'm now back on Jojoba in the morning shower since Sunday and there is gradual reduction in the inflammation which I expect to clear by next week but will have more marks to deal with which will probably take another 2 months. COMMENTS: I think Jojoba is great, it did what I wanted and cleared up my cystic acne. It takes a long time to be effective, 8 - 12 weeks to see the full benefit. However I have 2 (perhaps minor) issues with it: It causes some clogged pores (although not inflamed) which take forever to reach a head... It's not visible but you know its there which is frustrating. Secondly it didn't reduce my oil production (in fact my skin was more oily). Although, strangely enough even though my skin was oily I never broke out whilst on Jojoba. My theory is this is because that if my pores became blocked, they would be unclogged the next morning by Jojoba. I've heard it can take 6 months or more for skin oil to become regulated so maybe this is a premature criticism. BLOCKED PORES AND NEW REGIMEN: Jojoba oil is NOT non-comedogenic (for those who hate double negatives, jojoba IS COMEDOGENIC). It has a rating of 2/5 on the comedogenic scale (0 being non-clogging and 5 being certain to clog pores) and so this is why people break out from it. I've now discovered a new oil which I am beginning this week which has a comedogenic rating of 0 (Yes - ZERO, it will not clog pores at all). I am replacing Jojoba with this and will use it for 12 weeks or more. I want to see if it is as effective whilst being able to control oil production and not cause clogged pores. I am going to post this same review on acne.org but with updates on this new oil. Please feel free to follow me if your interested. BRAND & PRODUCT - Tisserand are great, this is organic, unrefined and cold pressed. The highest quality. It is fitted with a dropper so only release a drop at a time and since you really don't need that much it will last forever (not literally). I purchased in December and I'm not even 25% through yet. Another point is that Jojoba is known as a 'stable' oil, meaning it will not go rancid or deteriorate in quality over time. Other oils need to be stored in a dark & cold place. SUMMARY: PRO'S - Clears cystic acne - Reduces inflammation - Makes skin 'glow' - Prevents new breakouts CON'S - Can clog pores - Did not reduce oiliness after 3 months use - Requires 8 - 12 weeks to see significant improvement - Does not fade acne marks/scars If your skin is not suitable then I think you will know in a week. I had a small 'purging' phase but my face didn't explode, I just had small cysts come to a head. If after a week you are breaking out badly, I wouldn't continue using it - it is usually bad sign in my experience. Having said that if you don't see anything/minor improvements then keep going. With any treatment I have to remind you as I've learned - persistence prevails. It will take time to see results. I don't think absorbing chemicals through our skin everyday is beneficial in the long term - it creates more toxins that your liver has to remove. Best of luck friends. *EDIT* As discussed below, it appears my acne was caused by an allergic reaction to gluten. I would recommend, if you are also suffering from acne, to try an elimination diet and stop eating all known allergen foods (wheat, eggs, milk etc) for 1 month and then re-adding each allergen back into your diet to find the culprit. Hope this helps.

Arrived so quickly, within 2 or so days and in great condition. The bottle is small, as expected, but just using it as a beauty oil for its skin enriching properties so will use it sparsely anyway. I wanted to try this oil out, so I will see how long this bottle lasts me and then decide whether this is economically viable. Not a bad price; I strive to buy ethical products from ethical companies where possible - the quality of the products are a hallmark to the practices used. This is why it is also a good oil, if you are going to buy something for use on yourself, or for your health etc, then I suggest buying a quality product like this - rich in colour which is a sign of its quality. Why buy something cheaper which is going to have minimal effect, when you can get the real thing. It is a waste of money to do otherwise I think. And you do get what you pay for. It doesn't have a strong odour, and soaks easily into damp skin.

His gives my skin a beautiful glow, I sometimes don’t have time to mix anything else with it so will just put some of this on before I leave the house. It’s moisturising and glowy. It doesn’t have a strong smell.

Arrived on time Packed well Just love this Highly Recommend this product Its lovely on the skin

jojoba is a very difficult essential oil in that most on the market are terribly diluted and have a sweet fragrance which is far from the true characteristics of the oil itself. I ordered this brand and was hopeful - when it arrived the colour was perfect (one box ticked) and the smell was bland but true to Jojoba (another box ticked) - I use this on my twin baby girls and myself as a bath oil (superb), body oil (truly moisturing) and as a hair oil (the sebum we naturally create on our scalp identical to Jojoba) so our hair thrives when this oil is used! I also use as a night oil for my face - in the morning I always have a fresh glow :-) (I am a brown coloured lady) Overall I am truly impressed with this product and will continue purchasing my essential oils from Tisserand! Glad that quality still exists!!!!😍😍😍

je l'utilise en mélange avec d'autres huiles pour ma petite spitz sont poils est doux au touché après

It is a responsible seller. I am satisfied with my order! The product is great!

اشتريته بالغلط كنت احسبه لشعر بس طلع للجلد ولكن على كل حال رطبلي شعري بس الفروه ماقدر احكم مره شخصياً لا لانه ماكنت ملتزمه فيه ومو مره محافظه على فروتي فامدري

On m'a conseillé cette huile car j'avais la peau desséchée, et les cheveux tous moches: elle est juste miraculeuse! Ma peau est redevenue toute douce, sans être grasse. Pour les cheveux, je fais un masque une fois par semaine que je fais toute la nuit, et le matin, rinçage à l'eau claire puis shampooing et depuis mes cheveux sont plus doux et plus joli! J'adore l'huile de jojoba. On m'a aussi conseillé l'huile de coco, mais comme celle-ci m'a conquise, je la garde! Le seul problème c'est la bouteille: je préfère quand il y a un spray, plus facile pour l'application sur les cheveux; d'où 4 étoiles seulement !

Great quality products, very good service as well
