I went out and got some jojoba oil after reading this thread. Personally, my acne problem is about two pimples all of the time (one fades and a new one comes) and then a breakout before my period (which is virtually never). The big problem for me is that all of these pimples leave red spots that stay for WEEKS, with the result being that my entire chin is basically a giant red lingeting acne spot.

So I got the jojoba oil and have been using it for about a week, and it has made a HUGE difference. The spots are almost all gone, and the ones that are still there are paler. It hasn't made my pimples stop cropping up, but it hasn't made more come either, which is fantastic. Before, I would cover my chin in concealer before going out, and now I feel pretty good with nothing. I am very happy with it.

One note: I only use it at night because it does make my face a bit shiny, but the oily look is always gone by morning. As an added bonus, my skin is very soft!
