Because of the oil content, does this cause pimples? Anyone have that experience?

I have not experienced any skin problems (including acne) with this product. Too, I agree with Rob regarding the witch hazel as a cleansing wash. Have used that periodically for 50 years. Best of luck.

You might like Bump Patrol Shaving gel. It seems to clear my acne up somewhat. I buy mine on Walmart.com for half the price. I'm a white male and white men use Bump Patrol. Great stuff.

It has never caused pimples with me. And I have been very acne prone. You will wash off the excess after shave. HOWEVER, if you are having a difficult time with pimples, you may want to try Witch Hazel after you shave. It is a great cleansing agent and good for the skin. Not expensive at all.

The oil is emulsified, as it is in soaps. Ever see Fight Club? All soaps are rendered from some type of lipid (fat or oil), and the process of making the soap changes the oil. Although this is a shaving "cream," it is essentially a soft soap. So no, the oils are very different when they are in the form of a soap and will not cause acne.

The ingredients doesn't list any oils. It doesn't seem to make my skin feel oily. As long as you wash your face at night, you won't break out.

Hi, I use it on my face and it is quite oily. First couple weeks were okay, break-out wise. However, a couple days ago I started breaking out quite bad. I don't know if it's this product causing it or something else.I definitely blot this after applying and but it still makes the hair around my face stringy. :P

I used this oil for the oil cleansing method, which did not work for me. It made my acne worse.

I agree with mobright. It is very concentrated and strong and could aggravate your acne. If you do want to try it I would suggest using a light carrier oil that works well on facial skin, meaning something that is not a heavy oil. May I suggest trying to use jojoba mixed with the oregano oil and try it on a small area of your face first. I get those pimples that are deep under the skin and take forever to go away. I mix a bit of the oil with jojoba or olive oil and spot treat the pimple with a Q-tip. It may burn/sting a bit no matter what carrier oil you use so try and dilute it enough. Please be careful with it and I truly hope it helps you! I agree with mobright. It is very concentrated and strong and could aggravate your acne.

Although I love this stuff also, I'd NEVER put it on my face primarily because it's an oil and I have extremely sensitive skin. I also wouldn't recommend anyone else to do so because the results could be amazingly horrid lol. I think it's perfect for the hair on your head but I have no experience trying it anywhere else.

Spray it with rubbing alcohol, or just pour the alcohol over it. I think it's probably fine for acne-prone skin. Try using a facial oil instead of acne medication that dries out the skin. In my experience (I have 3 daughters) trying to dry up pimples only makes the skin think it needs to make more oil to compensate while adding oil to oily skin balances the complexion.

Hi Amber, I'm under the impression its 100% rose hip oil based on the bottle. I'm impressed based on my results, I've had years of ugly acne. I'm hooked and sold, and now just within 2 weeks of use my acne scars are less noticeable. I feel confident to go without my makeup. Hope my response helps.

Not at all. My skin produces a lot of oil, though. I hope that helps. Good luck!

No I have not, and since it is "Magnesium Oil" it perhaps will react differently on different peoples skin. I would not give up on it though since it is very effective - for me at least.

Hello. I think this is good, it is not has a lot of oil, but if your skin is delicate, please do not use it. I bought one to my sister, she is very delicate. For her was not good but I use and for me is nice. My skin does not have any problem.

I find it a tad too rich for my combination skin but then again I live in a tropical climate. I do sometimes get flaky dry skin in certain areas of my face like around my mouth and the sides of my nose and this oil used very sparingly helps to keep the dryness under control. It doesn't cause breakouts on my skin. Hope this helps!

No I do not recommend it. It made my forehead break out with little acne bumps everywhere because it clogged my skin. It is very, very thick and sits on top of the skin like oils would.

My skin is somewhat oily also. I have not experienced any more breakouts than usual from this product, (maybe even less) and I use it 2x/day. I do use an astringent cleanser in the evening. Bel Essence feels greasy when you first put it on but absorbs quickly. I do not wear makeup so I am not sure how it reacts with other products or sunscreen.

Yes I have used them by itself with no bad reactions but I still would suggest using a carrier oil because all skin is different.I mainly use this oils to mix with my lotions, bath gels for my business. Hope I answered your question.

I am prone to occasional one or two pimples. HOwever I'm 45 so not sure I'm the one to ask. I suffer from combination skin and I love using this oil based cleanser. My daughter on the other had is 18 has had no issues with breakouts.
