I'm sure it's troublesome for some as pretty much anything might be. Whether it will be for you or not remains to be seen. Give it a shot and let us know.

I have very sensitive skin and jojoba is the best thing I've tried so far. I also hear good things about coconut oil, but I haven't tried that on my face.

I am interested in this also. I have extremely sensitive skin as well as some large pores from bad acne when I was younger. What REALLY HELPS me is grapefruit seed extract once or twice a week massaged into my face (after getting it wet) and then splashing off with water. It is awesome how much better my skin looks when I use it!

I have used jojoba oil (manufactured locally so that's cool) for almost two years. It's taken me a while to find what works best for me, but now that I have my skin looks better than ever!

I used jojoba oil as a "dry wash" - I massage the oil on my skin in the evening while my skin is dry. This really helps the oil to exfoliate and remove all the yuck from the day. Then I remove the oil with a baby washcloth (as I find them to be the softest). Then I follow with a toner that I make myself (witch hazel and a blend of calendula, yarrow, borage, and lavendar oils). In the morning I use only warm water in the shower and follow with the toner!

I had a friend who tried it but gave up after not seeing a difference in a week..... With all changes I think you need to give it a good length of time. It works for me, the product is local and I LOVE it!
