I I'm in love with Shea butter for real I'm sorry for those People that this stuff didn't work but for me it did and I'm still goin to buy more and more. My skin is so much better now it has like a glow and I use to have small dark spot from Acne marks but thanks god that they are desapering. I gave my mother a bottle and her skin is so much better 2 amazing stuff.

I use grade A unrefined Shea butter and I have been using this for about 4 years. I am sixteen now at an age where teens experience severe acne problems but I have avoided the problem I believe through Shea butter. Women (sometimes men) complement me and question me at the clarity of my skin asking what's my secret implying that I have done something. I simply advertise this all natural cream. I recommend to anyone to use this stuff ASAP as it keeps the skin youthful. I jokingly can still pass for child tickets at silver-city.

don't use this sh*t on your face you've got to be crazy. the only way i would use this on my face is if i were a rhino

For those of you people who say that shea butter might harden up back to its natural form under your skin if exposed to lower temperatures and cause 'problems'. That's a myth. Whatever you put onto your skin or scalp gets absorbed right in and travels further through your bloodstream. That's why it's dangerous to use products containing chemicals, you put them on at one end, they end up everywhere, transferred by your bloodstream. Back to the point. Your body temperature is constant, regardless of the weather. It soaked right in, and it's hot enough under your skin. Do not be scared of those false side effects. It works for some people and doesn't work for others, as simple as that. I've been using rosehip seed oil which is also famous for its moisturizing properties religiously, and it didn't work. My scars might have improved a bit, but it did absolutely nothing to my stretch marks and wrinkles. I like it on my hair though. As for shea butter, i can't give you a detailed review yet because i haven't been using it long enough. If you dont like the thick texture of normal shea butter, check out shea nilotica, which absorbs a lot better. It melts into oil as soon as you touch it. Very easy for face application.

I have been buying unrefined Shea butter from Coastal Scents for about 4 years. I buy it every winter because I live in Northern Canada and I shovel snow in the winter for a living. Shea Butter protects my skin, makes an excellent lipbalm, and because it's occlusive in nature it protects my face (YES I said FACE) from salt and cold, chapping winds. I don't know why it clogs some people's pores, for me it's always been nothing but an incredible comfort to my skin...but then again, jojoba oil clogs my pores and it's noted MANY places it doesn't do that to alot of people. Goes to show what's good for me isn't good for you and even worse for the next guy S:)

You should not be using Shea Butter in a "cream" on your face! The other ingredients included in the cream can contribute to your severe acne breakout. Your 100% refined, organic, or raw shea butter should look almost like a thick hard cream colored paste(or softer if allowed to sit in a warm room). It should smell very "nutty". If it feels hard, it should soften as soon as your warm fingers touch it.

I am a 36 yr old woman of African/White descent with severe adult acne. I have been using Max Clarity for 2 months now, with "ok" acne clearing results but it causes SEVERELY dry skin. Overly dry skin can cause acne too, as I've found out. I decided to google shea butter because I had some 100% Shea Butter that I had bought from an herbal shop about 2 years ago, just sitting there. Once I saw all the benefits of this stuff, I decided to try it on my face and other dry spots first. I have been using the shea butter for 2 weeks now.

For my face: It felt so greasy, I was discouraged at first. I am so programmed against placing anything on my face that feels greasy at all. My skin is already extra oily, so it would seem that anything that makes it oiler would be a bad thing, right? Wrong! The first time I used the shea butter on my face, I tried to wear it under my make-up. Don't try to wear it under make-up or it will feel like you're wearing a mask, lol. I highly recommend that you buy the Black Soap that others have described. The use of the Black Soap will help to heal the scars and clear the excess shea butter from your skin while leaving behind the essential oils from the butter. I use the shea butter after washing with my Max Clarity regimen at night only. After applying the shea butter on my entire face, I WIPE IT DRY WITH A PAPER TOWEL. The shea butter will still be in your pores where it's needed. My skin feels AMAZING(smooth/dry) and no acne!

When I used the shea butter on the my knees and elbows, the extra dry skin began cle

I'm 18, had trouble skin since puberty, and tried many, many moisturizers in my short lifetime. Most were either heavily fragranced or have toxic ingredients. I was pretty skeptical about the effectiveness of shea butter when I first heard about it, but I'm so glad I gave it a try. This stuff helped heal my eczema and got rid of my jawline acne. My skin is smooth and glowing after a few months of diligently incorporating this product in my skincare regime. It's also helped a bit with fading some past hyperpigmentation and red marks.

You can buy unrefined shea whole-sale from either ebay or amazon. It's the best moisturizer I've ever used. Hopefully it'll work for you too.

I read a review elsewhere a couple weeks ago while I was still using shea and it made complete sense. When you apply it in essence you're melting it, then it hardens on your skin... same thing as heating up butter then letting it cool down & harden. NOT GOOD! I would actually pop the cystic acne I would get (which is terrible and I have terrible scarring from it that I'm dealing with now) however if I didn't pop it there would still be a scar so whatever. Anyway, I stopped using it about 3-4 weeks ago and my skin has done a complete turn around. I'm not saying everyone will have to deal with what I did but just be careful. I do use it on my feet, hands & lips and love it but no where near my face.

After ten days I have noticed a big difference. I use it with the African Black Soap. I only use the unrefined shea butter. I was suprised to feel that my very very old stretch marks are a lot smoother.

You need to make sure it's 100% shea...

you need to get it from someone who supports all Natural cosmetics.

Ten Thousand Villages is one of them. I have always struggled with acne, now that I use Shea it has cleared up my skin. I also worked as a cosmetician for years.

Good Luck Yall'')
