Question for Marti please - Skin Problems Message Board

Marti, Hi I'm kinda new but have been searching your posts for info on jojoba and started using it 2 weeks ago. FYI I'm 39 with mild/moderate acne

Anyhow, my face had cleared up nicely and is also well moisturized, but I suffer from persistant cysts on my nose. When one of these cysts emerges, like it is right now, should I just let the jojoba do it's thing or is it OK to use a BP product with it? I guess what I mean is this: The jojoba is supposed to be opening the pores so that the hardened sebum can break up and come out, right? So if I use BP will that counter-act the work that the jojoba is doing?

Thanks.

Certainly! Apply the jojoba oil and allow it to completely absorb into the skin, THEN apply the BP based product. The jojoba will help the BP to penetrate deeper into the skin to do its work.
