I've been using Shea butter for two months now and i really need to tell someone about this wonderful gem. Seriously, people Google this NOW Shea butter has actually REMOVED and faded my acne scarring. I actually look at people in the eyes and have a bit ,ore confidence. Please look Shea Butter up and read about the wonderful things it does for the skin. I no longer produce much sebum on my face and actually have an EVEN skin tone something clinque dark spot corrector couldn't give me!
I bought this particular one on Amazon for 6.80 https://www.amazon.com/African-Shea-Butter-Cream-100/dp/B0009MHJE4/ (which is cheap compared to clinque lol) but you guys seriously need to consider looking in to it!
And thanks for the welcome to Acne.org i plan to post alot and try to solve people's acne scarring problems.

I actually have some of this stuff, how do you use it? As a moisturizer or at night? How long do you leave it on?
Is it greasy? 'Butter' makes me think of putting something like lard on my face...
At first it is, but shea butter quickly absolves into the skin (like castor oil) and it feels weightless.
I leave it on as a moisturizer at night and then a tiny layer on my face after bathing in the morning!
I rub some on my face at night after I get out of the shower. The kind I use is so thick it feels like wax at first so I've found it works best when my fingers and skin are warm. It just takes a small amount and melts right into my skin, like butter. =) It does take awhile to absorb though so I only use it before bed, I use Cetaphil in the mornings. I should mention though that my skin tends to be a bit dry and I am also on Accutane which is drying. If you have oily skin it may be too moisturizing for you, at least at first. To be on the safe side, I would suggest testing a small amount out before using it all over. It does feel very thick in the beginning (if you're used to a lotion or if you don't moisturize regularly) but the results have been worth it for me.
