Normally it's a bad idea to play tricks, they almost always backfire. However, when it comes to your skin, there's one effective trick that can keep your skin acne-free and soft the natural way. Jojoba oil is a natural oil extracted from the crushed seeds of a Southwestern desert tree. Jojoba oil is actually not even an oil, but a wax ester which is one of the reason it won't make oily skin even more oily. The way it 'tricks' your skin into fighting acne is it so closely resembles your skin's sebum, that your skin stops overproducing it, thinking it has enough already. Jojoba oil is also non-comedogenic so you can use it without fear of breakouts. 

Featured on acne.org, jojoba oil is given a 5 star review by 206 out of 337 reviewers, and a 4 star review from 62 reviewers. Overall people suffering from acne gave it an average of 4.2 out of 5 stars.
