Pros:Great replacement for body lotion, and has mildly improved the keritosis pilaris on my upper arms.
Cons:Not good on face for some people- can clog pores and causes breakouts.
Bottom Line:PEOPLE WITH SMALL PORES: DO NOT USE COCONUT OIL ON YOUR FACE! I started using it a year ago; has been great for body, but made my whole face break out. People with larger pores can benefit, but people with small pores should not use thick oils on the face, because the molecules are too large. Try Jojoba and tea tree oils.

Pros:great moisturizer for my face, makes skin soft and smoooth
Cons:little whiteheads that form, but they go away as fast as they came, its part of the process to clean out the bacteria underneath the skin
Bottom Line:I LOVE IT!! has helped me so much with the redness on my cheeks and nose. mixed with some lavender oil great stuff...a lot of people give up on coconut oil because of the whiteheads, but give it some time maybe a week or two and my skin looks and feel like is healing..heaven sent...get Organic raw unrefined coconut oil..massage it onto the face don't just leave it on..make sure it absorbs in your skin..believe me i am in shock right now

Pros:makes skin very soft. was most helpful for me with cystic acne. when used on cysts it made them smaller until they disappeared... they never had to come to a head.
Cons:causes problems when left on face for too long.
"gets worse before it gets better," and in my case, leaving it on my face overnight or during the day only caused it to get worse.
Bottom Line:I'd been hearing a lot about the odd benefits of using coconut oil for acne and decided to give it a try. I used the organic extra virgin kind... anything else shouldn't go near your face. My problem was that I took advice that it should be left on your face. I would advise only leaving it directly on the cyst overnight/daily, and if you put it all over your face, to wash it off after 10-15 minutes... otherwise it just clogs the pores and causes more problems.

This is the kind I used: [link removed]
