Pros:

All natural

Cons:

A bit too oily

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.

Pros:

it's cheap!

Cons:

it takes about 10 minutes to rub into your facial skin

i've only been using it for 11 days but it seems to be workin. i'm using it for acne and dry facial skin. at first my skin started to feel rougher. it was like it was bringing all the clogged pores to the top. but the roughness is starting to go so that must mean it's clearing up maybe. i apply it as soon as i've had a shower or wash to dripping wet skin. with your hands still wet put some shea butter on the palm of your hand and rub both hands together for about 30 seconds(i rub untill my hands start heating up). then just rub all over your face and and keep massaging untill it's completely absorbed. like i said i've only been using it 11 days so i'll get back to ya if things go pear-shaped...if your scared of using it just use on your forehead for the same amount of time i've been doing it to see if it has the same effect. use unrefined shea butter...good luck!

Pros:

Skin feels so smooth and soft and you feel it has a calming healing effect. I used on a really severe bruise on my waist line(walked into gate post spike) took away the pain and inflamation - no trace of injury 6days later.

Cons:

Only the fact that it's greasy - so adapt how you use it

I have been using for a month now - I love it. I am now confident because I know I am not putting harmful chemicals on my skin - I was horrified to find out what was in the over the counter facial skin care products I had been using (check out skin deep cosmetic safety database) so I searched the internet and found Organic Virgin Shea Butter. Yes it's greasy - but I put it on my face and legs at night, I no longer use soap on my face, the Shea Butter is fabulous instead. In the morning I splash my face with water and take a couple of finger tips of shea and cream it on to my face over eye lids, neck everywhere, add more and more water to cream it in and then rinse. It of course doesn't rinse off but you wipe it off on the towel which it doesn't harm or stain. you are left with a slight film of Shea butter on your skin which leaves skin feeling wonderfully moisturised and protected without a trace of greasiness then you can apply makeup, but a shame to cover up my soft glo

Pros:

Softens skin, lightens scars, helps with blemishes and acne, evens skin tone and reduces wrinkles. It also has a very nutty natural smell and is very cost effective.

Cons:

a tad greasy... use only a little under make up.

I have been suffering with spots & blemishes all my life, especially after having my daughter. I am eating healthy but other then that I have tried almost every product on the market for my skin. I discovered shea butter and black african soap a few months back but have been hestitant to use it. I started about two weeks ago, broke out badly but now my skin is settling and my spots are drying up ever so quickly. I smear shea butter on my face as a moisturiser after my shower, before bed and on my days off I just load it on. In one week it is doing unbelievable things to my skin. I am sold, and the week of break outs was well worth it. I sometimes mix it with coconut and jojoba oil as well. I use it under my make up and it helps to settle the make up very nicely on my face.... only use very little though.

Pros:

Cheap, natural, organic, moisturises skin and takes away flakiness, heals scars

Cons:

Greasy on application, not much good if you want to apply makeup over the top - I apply and tissue off excess

Buy it. I have adult-onset acne not caused by hormones or oiliness and this has turned my skin around in the space of a week. Admittedly I have a lot of free time right now and am spending a lot of time rubbing large amounts of it on my skin frequently, but it's shifted all my spots, and is doing a fantastic job on my scars. It doesn't cause me to break out, it smells nutty in the same way cocoa butter does, it's a little difficult to apply until it's melted. I am using UNREFINED shea, bought cheaply off ebay, and considering the price and the fact I'm not slathering some weird chemical all over my skin it's doing a fantastic job. Not sure I'd recommend it for oily skin but I certainly think it's worth a try, you can use it as winter handcream or lip balm even if it doesn't fix your skin.

Pros:

Clears Skin, Fades Blemishes, Not sure if it works with acne or not but I would think it should help out.

Cons:

Greasy if used in excess.

Freaking Amazing. I don't have acne per say I get a bump every now and then but I do have blemishes from when I really used to have acne. Ever since I've been using Shea butter the results are really fantastic and I am interested to see the results it has on my body ;)

Pros:

Nothing else worked for me: moisturizes, lightens scars, makes my skin smoother and so soft! Does NOT make me break out even more like people would think of with its consistency. Less break outs, more smoothness!

Cons:

It's thick and makes me shiny so I put a thick layer on my face only at night EVERY night.

This stuff is AMAZING! I've been suffering from acne for 7 years now and I've tried every product and been ripped off by multiple dermatologists. Drying acne products that a lot of people try to use did not work for me and only irritated my skin more. I guess I'm sensitive to a lot of things. Shea butter saved me from going on accutane. I don't put ANY drying acne products on my face anymore and only shea butter at night when I go to sleep to wake up to more beautiful skin each morning. In the morning I wash my face, put some oil-free lotion on under my makeup and that's it. I use shea butter on my face every night. It's very cheap for a tub of this stuff and I feel like it's a miracle. I put it on my body as well to wake up with extra soft baby skin everywhere. You can usually find these products at an african-american store or sometimes people put out little stands selling these around markets or college campuses.

it goes on a bit greasy therefore use a small amount.

It is a good product. I have mix a little of retin-a and shea butter together to use as a night cream. I use an exfoliating soap weekly to take off the dead skin follow by moisturizing with shea butter. Make sure you get 100% unrefined shea butter. I would google websites for raw shea butter.
