I just prefer jojoba
I decided to try apricot kernel oil for my facial oil on a whim; it's a little cheaper, so why not? Personally, it takes too long to absorb for me to want to deal with it. Jojoba sinks right in, but I find that apricot kernel just sits on my face for longer. I saw another reviewer compare it to jojoba, but the texture reminds me more of sweet almond, as they're both on the thicker side. I don't think it was any different than jojoba in actual moisturizing either. Additionally, I don't like the dispenser. The idea is good, but I get too much oil with one squirt, at least for my face.
If you don't mind hanging out while it sinks in, it's a good deal. Also good for just taking off eye makeup, but any oil will do for that.

Cheap alternative for Jojoba oil
I started using apricot oil as an alternative to jojoba oil, after reading they're similar. I've found that to be true. I think apricot kernel oil is slightly cheaper, so I would definitely recommend it. Also, the bottle that this apricot kernel oil comes in is AWESOME. It is squeezed out, instead of poured out, which gives me much more control.

good experience
I have been using jojoba oil for a long time; I thought I give this oil a try. It is very good, I don't see to much difference. Both products are good.

It is a very light oil making it perfect for the face. Does not clog the pores.
Very fast absorbing.
The only issue I have is regarding the packaging - the bottle has a rubber thing attached to it which does not work at all since the bottle itself is very hard. When I squeeze the oil too much squirts out. That is a terrible waste! I had to simply cut the rubber out!
