worked for a week
I used coconut oil for 3 weeks. The first week was amazing: I rarely got an infection, everything was healing faster (old and new scars) and my skin just felt amazing. After that week things just got back to how they were before I started using coconut oil. It wasn't teribble but I got infections pretty often, especially really small whiteheads on my forehead. Also my skin didn't feel as soft and amazing as it did the first week. I would recommend trying it but only if you have really light acne that could be cured relatively fast or some scarring that you want to get rid of. Good luck! :)

Magically soothes skin
I don't exactly use this for acne, but when I've used coconut oil on my entire face I had no new pimples. More importantly, when my skin reacted awfully to something (no idea what, and I tested everything I had put on my face), coconut oil was the only thing that helped my chapped, red, burning face. As a moisturizer it can't be beat, but as it may cause acne breakouts, start with a very small amount and see what happens before embracing the oil.

Cons:
none really.
didn't help acne.
I recommend to eat coconut oil daily. I believe that it is very healthy and helps alot of processes in the body. But when I took alot of it every day, I didn't notice a reduction in acne at all. But I definitely think it could help others with acne. This possibly helps with candida too.

Pros:
Great for body, but not too sure about face. This is day 4 for me and I've been seeing a few whiteheads (which disappear pretty quickly), also my skin feels dry, which is strange since VCO is suppose to moisturize.
Cons:
I'm not sure if the oil is exfoliating and extracting impurities or if it's clogging my pores. Maybe I haven't found the right amount (I've been using it every night)
Any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated :)
Pros:
Good for overall health
digestion easier
