Cons:
Chunky.
Cool and solid at room temp., tedious to work with if you want to lather it on your skin. Body heat will help it melt.
Oily, may significantly clog pores, not very skin absorbent.
Some risk: unsure if this causes breakouts.
Precaution: don't use on your face unless your acne is well under control. Also do not use if your skin is thin, and do not use around the eyes. Not that this product stings but it gave me some milia spots after one use, which are harder to shake than pimples. Or just don't leave on your face longer than a few minutes... that was probably my err. It is much safer for a body moisturizer, hands especially. i suggest testing this product on the shoulders and arms for a month before moving to the face. People have different skin, and different experiences with different products. I would recommend giving this a go, despite its risks. Besides, it's easy to get and cheap. There isn't much to loose, just KEEP AWAY FROM EYE AREAS. PLEASE.

Pros:
Good moisturiser for hands and feet
Cons:
Very oily.
It is clogs pores
I broke out withing 2 days of using coconut oil on my face. Although it is a good moisturiser and it is supposed to be helpful in fading acne scars... BUT coconut oil is highly comedogenic.. it clogs pores. I think it is best to avoide using it on the face for people who have acne problems. Use it on your body instead for soft silky skin.
Pros:
An effective moisturizer.
Nutrient-rich, supposedly healthy.
Inexpensive, carried at local health stores.
