Jojoba Oil is a non comedogenic oil so you definitely can use it for your face.
Jojoba oil has healing properties that help calm down your skin. Like Jacqlyn mentioned it helps calm down redness and very good for those who have very rosy skin.
Jojoba Oil, although not technically an oil but a wax is the closest oil similar to sebum on our skin that we produce. By using Jojoba oil you replace the nasty oils your skin produces with clean oil, so it is very useful for controlling those that have oily skin. It basically tricks your skin into believing that it already produced oil ( Our skin is a sensory organ the more you take from it the more it makes to compensate ). Because excess sebum can also lead to acne breakouts those with acne prone skin have had wonderful benefits with it helping to control their acne.

Jojoba Oil absorbs quickly and can leave your skin with a dewy appearance, it is also very beneficial for those with dry skin.
I like to use it right before I moisturize, I take about 2-3 drops of Jojoba Oil and gently massage it onto my skin. I use it regularly twice a day. It helps eliminate that 'tight' feeling I get after washing my face because I have dry skin, and helps keep it hydrated.
You can use it to remove makeup, it makes an excellent make up remover as oils tend to break down make up. Massage it onto your skin right and let it sit for a couple of minutes, then wipe it off. It takes off mascara really well.
You can also add two or three drops to your hair every day and rub some on your cuticles as well for healthy nails.
You can also use it as your own little hand moisturizer, I use it and it leaves my hands super soft and as an after shave as well to help calm down your skin♥

Can it maybe be used for a spot treatment for acne as well? :)

Yes but if you are applying it already to your face as a whole it will be all you need.

@Fatima I put about 3 drops in my hand and massage it into my skin like stated above, then I apply my regular moisturizer afterwards.
@Mae Any health store or farmers market ( like whole foods ) should carry it.
