Great for dandruff and a nice moisturizer.
I have used it for my and my boyfriend's hair. He had quite of dandruff and oily hair. After a massage into hair scalp and overnight stay it was free of dandruff, non-oily and soft.
Gave nice appearance to my hair as well, though I usually do not have problems with it.
I heard it is great for hair-loss but can't say anything for that. That's supposed to be its main purpose though...

Almond oil is amazing. It has cleared up my skin incredibly. It leaves my face smooth, glowing, and clear. I adore it.
I use it every morning--just a few drops.
Love. Love. Love. The perfect moisturizer.

Almond oil is a multi-tasking product in my household: I use it to moisturize (especially legs and dry elbows drink this stuff up),
to clean makeup off my face, as a hair treatment or to add to my bath water. While it works great as a moisturizer for legs and
the like, I've found it doesn't do as well on cuticles and existing callouses; it seems to harden them. I haven't had any trouble with
sensitivities or adverse reactions.

This is an amazing product, it takes off waterproof mascara like nothing! I seriously just get a cotton ball and
leave it on my eyelid for a couple seconds and gently dab around and its off! I used this on my Organix hair renewal deep conditioner,
I just put in a few drops and it worked like a charm! My hair felt moisterized and frizz free! I also put some on my hair before I blow dry it straight.

Love this oil! I use jojoba oil is so much of my homemade skincare. My scalp exfoliant, lip balm, t-zone serum, spot treatment and day cream.
I have pretty dry skin, but I'm very prone to breakouts along my jawline if I don't regularly exfoliate and stay away from milk.
I love how light it is and how well it soaks in. It's something that I will always keep on hand for all my homemade concoctions.
It's also great as a moisturizer on it's own.

LOVE!!! My skin loves this oil. I've been having a really bad outbreak of eczema on my scalp around the hairline and
just bad dandruff all over this past month. None of my other oils could ever make my eczema spots disappear.
Two nights ago I tried camellia oil on the rash and it did nothing. It was still red, dry, and flaky in the morning.
Last night I applied the avocado oil and this morning there is NO trace of the rash! My hair doesn't even look oily.
I should also note I applied the oil after my shower last night and my skin is silky and smooth this morning,
even on the one rashy/bumpy spot on my tricep. Also used on my face, and did not give me any new breakouts. (MAO, 7/18/2012) <<

I have tried a few oils and so far have found that avocado is one of the best oils for my dry skin and much more moisturising than jojoba,
olive, hemp, macadamia and almond oil. For my face, I use the avocado oil undiluted. As it's a thick oil,
I dilute this down with a lighter oil if I'm using it on my body to help it spread more easily, such grapeseed oil or macadamia if I need extra moisturising -
whatever I've got on hand really. My skin is so much softer, moisturised, plumper and more radiant since using this.
The oil is green in colour and has an obvious avocado scent. I love avocados, but I'm not too keen on the scent that close to my face,
but it doesn't bother me enough to do anything about it. I really appreciated this oil when I was on the Obagi system and
it is also good when using with Retin A. Best of all, this is cheap and completely natural.
I buy mine organic and cold pressed from the grocery aisle. (kimorris, 4/19/2012) <<

I have rosacea so I have always been looking for the simple and natural ways to take care of my skin.
Cosmetics bought from the store always seemed to only do harm by clogging the pores, drying the skin and
making my face red like never before. Unfortunately natural options weren't that much better.
I've tried every oil you can imagine starting from olive oil and ending with the more exotic Argan and rosehip oil.
The latter two were the only ones that my skin agreed with but I didn't find them very moisturising.
My face felt dry in the mornings and the lines under my eyes kept multiplying the 6 months I kept up with them two.
In fact my friend started to use rosehip oil and I've seen her wrinkles get noticeably worse :-/
Since I had the same experience I decided to only use it on scars, which it's good at fading.
Argan oil alone didn't seem to sink into my skin for some reason. I was ready to go back to real cosmetics since the natural options didn't seem to do any good.
I was pretty much done with all the hype around natural oils to be honest.
(Everyone raves about coconut oil, yet it is the most drying and damaging thing I have ever put on my skin!)
But as I was eating my avocados I decided to google avocado oil and see if people have used it on their faces.
Turned out a lot of people had used it so I decided to give natural options one more chance. I'm glad I did.
This is the only thing that has ever moisturised my dry skin. It's a miracle for me!
No matter what I have used, they either sit on top of the skin causing pimples or are so light that they do absolutely nothing.
My skin has always suffered from dryness and I got those dry lines all over my eyes although I'm only 27yo and a male.
None of my friends have those kind of lines at this age. For the first time my skin is moisturised..
I use this at night and wake up with a soothed skin. I use it on my lips aswell and feel like Lana Del Rey when I wake up.
My lips are that plump! And what's more bizarre is that this works like magic for under eye area.
I didn't know it was even possible for eye wrinkles to go away. The lines are still there when I look really closely but this oil has made them less deep.
All in all I'm extremely happy with avocado oil. So happy that I was thinking about not writing this review since I want to keep it as my beauty secret haha!
Several web pages cite studies about avocado oil increasing the amount of collagen in skin etc.
Don't know about that since I feel like there are ridiculous amounts of hype around oils that do no good (i.e. Coconut oil).
But it is an excellent moisturiser for dry skin and it's enough for me. No clogged pores even, just extremely soft and supple skin.
I've even started to use it as a body lotion. It's funny really, I've tried every exotic little oil yet the answer was my favourite fruit I eat almost every day.
I guess it's all about trial and error with natural oils. A lot of people here seem to love jojoba, some argan and some rosehip even.
I thought people were raving about oils just for the sake of it but avocados made me a convert.
Now I know it's just a matter of finding the right oil for one's skin type.
Avocado oil is great for people with dry skin like me. (Snowblind, 4/11/2012) <<

Hazelnut OilSource :
USA
Characteristics :
Light oil
Antibacterial & tighten pores
Helps reduce seriousness of acne
Helps cell regeneration
Can be used as sunscreen
Suitable for oily skin and balanced/normal skin
'Hazelnut oil is considered valuable in giving facial and body massages. It has a high content of essential fatty acids like linoleic acid.
Hazelnut oil has a very light, pleasing sweet aroma, which is also somewhat nutty. It is a highly unsaturated vegetable oil that boasts of its fine texture.
Hazelnut oil, the botanical name of which is Corylus avellana, is easily absorbable and therefore penetrates fastly into the skin.
Hazelnut oil has proved to be very effective in tightening the skin, thereby acting as a superb toner for the skin.
It also aids in the regeneration of cells and strengthening of capillaries. Hazelnut oil massage is quite effective in protecting children from the clutches of respiratory disorders.
Apart from therapeutic properties, the oil is known for its moisturizing qualities as well.
Hazelnut oil provides numerous health benefits for which it is being increasingly preferred in the preparation of carrier oil blend.
The best part about using this carrier oil is that, it does not leave an oily feel behind. The oil is also known to efficiently play the role of an astringent.
For acne prone skin, it is of utmost importance.
Hazelnut oil provides soothing and relaxing effects to the skin, thus it is extensively brought to use for the purpose of spa massage.
It also has the ability to filter the rays of sun and it is owing to this reason that it is over and over again used in the making of sun care products.
The oil is often used as an additional ingredient in the preparation of creams, soaps, lotions and hair care products.''

I love hazelnut oil! I use this primarily as a moisturizer on damp skin. I spread a couple of drops over my face to seal in the moisture and I'm done. It soaks in very well. Since it is slightly astringent, it doesn't contribute any additional oiliness. After a minute or two, my skin feels soft and velvety. I've also added this to my cleansing oil mixture at times. The results are good. I just like this too much on it's own to "waste" is as a cleanser. I highly recommend this oil to anyone with combination to somewhat oily skin who might be interested in trying oils. It's not as drying as grapeseed oil, but it's not as "oily" as some of the other oils. (MbMinx, 4/25/2012) <<
Just thougth I would mention that hazelnut oil is the main ingredient in Clarins Lotus oil. This treatment helps normalize oily/combo skin.
Check out the price of the Clarins and you I am sure you paid a lot less.
