I quite enjoy this :-)
This is the only thing that has kept my acne at bay. I make a face cream out of this with coconut oil and tea tree oil and slather it on my face every night. I know, oil on oily skin sounds scary (it horrified me and my sticky oily face at first) but certain oils help and heal your acne ridden skin. If I don't use this, my acne gets worse. Not the other way around. So don't be scared, and use this stuff all over for healthy glowing skin. Works well with baking soda to clean and coffee grounds for exfoliation :-) Night Cream: -1 tbs coconut oil -3 tbs shea butter -3-4 drops of tea tree oil (more if your acne is particularly bad. I used 5) Mush together until a thick oily paste. Put on face at night after washing your face (I don't wash my face everyday, this keeps it clean and healthy on the in-between days). Don't use a ton, a pea sized amount per area of acne/face will work well. Rub between fingers until melted into oil and apply. Rub in well and sleep. Take care :-)

Hey!! I found your review interesting, still I wanted to throw a warning out there: coconut oil is VERY comedogenic (a 4 in the comedogenicity scale), in case someone with extremely acne prone skin like mine is thinking of trying your method. I'd replace it with sunflower oil or hemp seed oil, both a 0 in the comedogenic scale.

Pros:

Makes my skin glow and hair soft. Healing my cracked skin.

Cons:

A bit greasy when applied.

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.

Pros:

Moisturizing, decreases redness of pimples, long lasting, doesn't break me out at all.

Cons:

I don't have the patience to let it melt in my finger tips fully. Yes, real shea butter is in solid form (clay like texture) at room temperature. It starts to melt when it hits heat (your fingers)

I use unrefined shea butter imported from Africa. That is the only shea butter anyone should use, and it is 100% non comedogenic. If you put it on lightly it won't leave a greasy look, and when you want a deeper moisturization you can just put some more on. It's soothing and cheap and the only moisturizer besides Dan's that I love.

Pros:

Super moisturizing, all natural, inexpensive, makes skin radiant and soft, clears acne

Cons:

None

As with any product, product quality and correct usage are the key to positive results. Make sure you are using PURE, UNREFINED shea butter. Using it in a cream with added ingredients (like MINERAL OIL) will, of course, exacerbate your skin problems. If you find that the shea feels too heavy, try this: While your face is still wet from cleansing, rub a pea sized bit of shea butter between your palms until it liquifies, then smooth over your face. Blot dry with a towel. This will leave your freshly washed face absolutely glowing! I only use the shea at night, when I cleanse with black soap or Original Neutrogena, follow with vitamin A gel, then smooth the shea butter all over my face. The shea absorbs quite swiftly, and leaves no greasy film. During the day, I add a bit of shea butter over my eye cream, then blot the excess so my shadow doesn't slide off. I also use it as lip balm, which feels amazing! I was also impressed by the shea butter's ability to heal wounds quickly. I recently cut my hand rather severely on a piece of shattered glass. I cleaned the wound, and went to sleep. In the morning, I applied a bit of shea butter to the cut, making sure to rub it in well. I continued to do this every few hours, and three days after cutting my hand, there was no redness, no visible scab, and no pain. Also, no scar. :) I highly recommend this product to anyone, and suggest you purchase it from a fair trade supplier. I purchased mine on Amazon; $5.65 for one pound. Good luck!

Shea butter is a no no

Pros:

natural
mosturized

Cons:

breaks you out for weeks
smells funny
cyst and clogged pores in new areas

I usually use Palmers Cocoa Butter but i ran out and decided to use my sisters shea butter. She uses it for her hair though. Ive been an acne sufferer and been clear for two years now thanks to research and habits. So of course i looked up reviews on shea butter. Some were good reviews some bad. So everyone is different so i gave it a try. Omg break outtt mania! I was getting cyst and so many white heads and i started picking again :( still recovering after 2 months. Pleaseeeee dont use shea butter on your face!

I'm having this same issue! I started using Maiga black soap/facial cleanser/100% organic raw Shea butter and my skin has broken out the worst it's been in over 20 years!! It's been two weeks, I thought maybe it's pushing the impurities from my skin but it's getting worse and spreading across my forehead and chin. Any idea what to do to help reverse this? Besides quitting this routine

One thing I've learned is breaking out isn't always a bad thing when it comes to trying new skin products. I've read so much about it and finally found a reasonable explanation; these breakouts could be caused by your skin having a detox from the product! There are many layers to your skin. The breakouts form at the first layer and take a while until they become noticeable. But this product could possibly be speeding up this cycle. Only time will tell. I've recently been using an Alba organics face cream. At first I broke out so much. But a while after, my skin was so soft and clear. It may be different for other people, but why not try?

This is an odd case, shea butter is rated as a 0 on the comedogenic scale, however all butters and oils can be pore clogging if used in a high enough amount. I suspect maybe you used a little too much?

Pros:

great moisturizer
helps with acne tremendously
Skin is smoother and radiant

Cons:

a lil bit oily

Miracle Product! This stuff works. Been using it for a week and I can honestly say that I'm starting to really love my skin. Had some blackheads on forehead and some dark spots from past acne, and this is really doing a great job for me so far. My face wash regiment is very simple: wash with ivory soap, then apply about a nickel size shea butter to my damp face morning and night. By the way I use Out of Africa Shea butter for anyone who wants to try it. This sh*t works!!

Pros:

Soothes, heals and prevents acne, smooths scars and fades marks. Non pore-clogging and cheap!

Cons:

Its a bit greasy.

This has worked great for my skin, I had a real problem with breakouts and now I hardly get any spots at all! It has reduced the rate of oil production on my face and my skin looks the best it ever has since I hit puberty. Because it is so greasy, I wouldn't advise wearing it on your face during the daytime if you're planning on leaving the house, but that's its only downfall in my opinion.

Pros:

Reduces The Appearance of Acne Scars/Pits, Fine Wrinkles, Softens Skin, and Evens Skin Tone.

Cons:

It Causes breakouts on the sensitive parts of my face. So therefore I just use it on my face where my skin can tolerate it (like on my fore head, smile lines, under eyes/around eyes, and lips)

I have only been using Shea Butter 100% Organic Since about Sunday, today is Tuesday. I apply it every night before bed. So in just 3 days my skin is looking more youthful and healthy. Also, my moderate severe cystic acne is finally clearing after almost 2 years of suffering. I don't know if the Shea butter has anything to do with hindering my breakouts because I don't apply on my breakouts (afraid that it will make it worse), but I do know that where I have scars and pits, also fine lines and premature wrinkles the Shea Butter has almost erased them completely after only a few days. So imagine after a week of consistently using this stuff how great my skin will look :). Shea Butter may not be for everyone, but I know that it works for my skin...I'm of African descent so maybe that's why my skin can tolerate it. I don't know thats just a guess :/ Do what works for you..maybe your entire face may not agree with the shea butter so just try it on certain areas like I do.

Pros:

Makes my skin extra soft, lightening up my scars, also doing wonders on my stretch marks and hair

Cons:

Slightly greasy, but usually only if I've used too much

A little goes a loooong way. Some people may complain about it being greasy, but you really only need a DAB to get good coverage and the sheen fades in a little while. I use it every day, morning and night and it's been doing wonders the past few weeks. I've recently started an all natural regimen so this paired with my GENUINE African black soap is working well. I would recommend people to search for the unrefined shea butter as it's much better for the skin. I bought my 1lb package for $8.50 from Coastal Scents. Believe me when I say that 1lb will last a while.
