Can I use this oil around my eyes for crows feet? Secondly, I am prone to breakouts (pimples) from products....would you recommend? Thanks!

I have found Neutrogena Sesame Oil is great and less expensive. I found Bel Essence Oil does not go on the skin easily. I love the texture of Neutrogena. I also have sensitive skin and I have used Neutrogena for years. Good for crows feet. Hope this helps you.

I had to stop using this product on my face because I am also prone to breakouts :( I'm now using it as a body moisturizer and it's great.

It does not say you cannot use around the eyes. I use the oils sparingly and like to mix with cream. I dot a very small amount of the product on the cheekbone and temple area to avoid getting in the eyes (as the oils will migrate in the grooves of any wrinkles). I never use products on my eyelids. I did not experience breakouts.

Yes! I definitely use around my eyes, and I am also prone to breakouts... But it's actually gotten better. I use both the bell essence oil and the cream... The cream seems even better around the eyes, whereas I use the oil on my whole face including around the eyes, but just a couple of drops in the morning in a couple of drops at night. The cream is great around the eyes and other dry spots, and I use it more Liberally

I use it all around my face and eyes and I love it!! I have not broken out at all. I have used this oil for a long time and even after I take the nail polish off my toes...I coat the entire nails with this oil an let it set in....and the nails have improved 100% percent. They used to be sort of thick in the nail...they look great now. It really is a healing oil as well. I recommend!! Hope this helps.

No, if anything the witchhazel helps to prevent breakouts. I have skin that is prone to breakouts and I use this to help prevent them. Its not overly stripping either so it isn't stingy or irritating.

Sure, I have. I rub between my hands just a thumb nail even less of Shea. It turns into a liquid, oil like if you rub for a long time. And then pat around eyes, and apply all over face and neck. It doesn't clog pores or it hasn't for me. It is great for all over body use, I use right out of the tub. Where I live the winters are brutal, has been a life saver for me. Good luck!

Sandra: I got the Jojoba Oil for my hair but I do use Sweet Almond Oil on my face for the moisture sealing qualities of that oil. I did go on google and searched jojoba oil acne and one of the articles says that if you can put honey on your face then you will not have problems with jojoba oil. I would search the web and make your own determination or maybe another person on here has use the jojoba oil on their face. Sorry I could not help you any further.

I love this product and use it as a daily moisturizer for my entire body, including lightly on my face (I usually have oily and acne prone skin and this does not make it worse)....you should research the benefits of coconut oil to answer your questions, unless you are asking how good this particular oil is. I have done TONS of research on coconut oil and this organic, extra virgin, cold pressed Nutiva brand is AMAZING. If you get it in the 54oz twin pack, auto shipped it's also the cheapest one out of all of the jugs (yes, I spent literally HOURS going over price!! lol) I hope this helps at least somewhat. :) I love this product and use it as a daily moisturizer for my entire body, including lightly on my face (I usually have oily and acne prone skin and this does not make it worse)....you should research the benefits of coconut oil to answer your questions, unless you are asking how good this particular oil is.

I have mixed it with all three of those oils. I haven't had any notable reactions. Although, I have noticed if the oil is used neat on my skin it gives me a rash.

It states on the product directions not to use it around your eyes, but I rub a small amount under my eyes and on my crow's feet. I'm just very careful to not get it too close to my eyes. I would not use it on my upper eye lid. Use a specific eye cream for that. I also mix a couple of drops of vitamin E into the product. I put it in the palm of my hand and apply it with my fingers on my other hand. I wash my hands immediately after doing my routine. It is a very good product that my dermatologist sells in his office, but the price is considerably higher than it is on Amazon.

No. I use a lot on my skin and I find it much less greasy than other oils. I like it because I can use it around my eyes and it does not irritate them like other oils do. I apply liberal amounts at night and leave it on. I find it soaks in quickly and is no problem.

I had a horrible bunch of milia. I tried all kinds of things from the dermatologist. I started taking fish oil, flaxseed oil and vitamin E (not for this condition..just started taking it) and after a few months, the milia disappeared! I'm 62 and my skin looks as good as it did 20 years ago and I had beautiful skin then. One of my doctors then said that it was a dry skin condition and the oils just balanced everything... Give it a try!

EXCELLENT!! that's what my skin is, I'm 70 yrs young! I can truthfully say, honestly, I have NO crows feet!! I've been using Shisedo products for 40 yrs. Of course I have crows feet when I smile, but show me a 40 yr old who doesn't. I love all their line!!!

Well, lots of people have had good experiences. I've had acne problems my whole life and using any beard oil clogs my pores. My acne gets noticeably worse when I use beard oil--including getting acne under my beard. Here's the thing, though. It seems as though my skin adjusts to the use of the oil and I break out less. Despite the breakouts, I would never NOT use Honest Amish beard balms. They fix all the bad parts that come with growing my beard: itching, beard-ruff, fly-aways, and dried-out split ends from using harsh acne soap.

I don't think this is the right product for under eye. I use on crow's feet lines and forehead. It does soften my smile lines as well.

It took the place of moisturizer for my feet. That area needs a lot of treatment. I do not use oils for my face, it clogs my pores. If you need extra moisturizer in terms of oils then this works, but there is a nice sent that comes from it. Careful with it because it is very heavy, make sure you put it on right after taking a shower. I found that it works best then.

To be honest, I've never looked into trying a product for the purpose of correcting dark circles bc that isn't my issue. Sorry I can't recommend anything. My focus was to soften fine lines and prevent crows feet & it has helped ;)

Hello. I would dilute with water. It's a very concentrated oil. I'm pretty sure it doesn't recommend applying directly to skin. I placed in a spray bottle w/water and sprayed outer layers of clothing & shoes. Works well. Recommend gloves if applying directly.

I think most oils are fine frozen-it would be overheating that would ruin it. Mine was pretty cold when it came, but still works like it should. It seems to be lightening my under eye circles, and it's the only oil I can put on my face that doesn't break me out.

http://voices.yahoo.com/everything-ever-wanted-know-black-seeds-7580558.html Hello Randy. Try the above link. I have a 32 y/o son with Multiple Sclerosis. He is bed ridden and it can be a challenge to keep skin properly moisturized. My son does not get proper sunlight and air does not circulate around his body like ours. The black seed oil keeps his skin lubricated. I get a lot of compliments on my son's skin. Also, certain medications have made keeping his skin moist a challenge. Some medications have a drying effect on the skin. I do admit that I do not use this oil on a daily basis because after all, it is BLACK and OILY so white clothing is out of the question when in use. But when used daily you can skip a day and just put a lighter moisturizer on or nothing at all. I also use this oil when my son has a bed sore. When a wound starts to heal and the skin starts to tighten around the edges, this oil is a good lubricant and it helps a wound to heal in a not so ugly fashion. My son and I also take black seed oil capsules. I believe taking this has kept my son's blood thinner medication at a lower dose. You can also use this on your hair and scalp. I have not used it for this purpose. But I would.
