Pros:

moisterizes and clears up acne on the face and body.

Cons:

It loses it's smell after a while if left forgotten on the bathroom counter

I use the unrefined organic coconut oil from Spectrum but any coconut oil you get that is organic and unrefined would work. It does need to be organic to work as the refining process tends to kill the good parts and leave nothing but a product that is no different than olive oil or vegetable oil at your local grocery store. It is less expensive then a pharmaceutically correct moisturizer and easy to find in the grocery store. I use the coconut oil for my hair and skin as often as I remember it, which is every other day at most. Because of its healing properties I have used it for my bruises, rashes/hives, and even pink eye. It clears up acne fast as well as many other problems. It has been shown to kill of Candida if taken orally up to three tablespoons a day. I have started taking it orally in the morning and in the afternoon at work for the last couple of days and I feel a lot better overall. Is is a hunger suppressor, natural energy, as well as helps absorb vitamins in the body. You can find out any of these facts online to substantiate my claims. Overall, it is a go-to cure for me and I will continue to use it for many more years.

Pros:

it soothes your skin! reduces appearance of wrinkles and makes your skin have a natural glow.

Cons:

none so far....

I think i have an eye dermatitis, my skin has been scaley and red and very very itchy for about 3 months..It was even starting to look wrinkley under my eye from the severe dryness of the skin. If you suffer from dermatitis, this provides much needed relief from itchiness and redness! I did not want to use a steroid cream especially around my eyes. i'm loving this and its all natural and best part is i don't have to worry about side effects.

It absolutely works for me - the results even I still can't believe
I have had acne for FOREVER and treated it with everything under the sun. I was one step away from asking to try Accutane. One evening I washed my face with a tea tree oil lathering cleanser and slathered a light layer of coconut oil on my face before bed. Can't tell you why other than I had heard that it had anti-bacterial qualities. It went against EVERYthing I know about oily skin and acne. The next morning my skin was not shiny or oily, but it looked better. I washed again with the tea tree oil lathering cleanse rand applied makeup (no coconut oil during the day). I proceeded with the same routine and have not stopped since. It's been over 6 months and my skin has NEVER looked better. It looks hydrated and clear. I clean and apply every night and clean in the morning. I don't apply makeup on the weekend anymore because, well, I don't need to! It may not work for everyone, but I cannot believe it worked. I do still get a big ole zit now and again (probably hormonal). It's low cost and natural. I don't own stock in coconut oil or anything - but it is AWESOME!

Lasts a long time

Cons:

N.O.N.E!!

When I turned 40, I got deep millia over my right eyebrow on my forehead. Not alot, but then again, 1 is too many in my book. Off to my first dermatologist. He said he would have to freeze the area numb and then, basically, dig them out and it would leave a scar. Umm, no. So I continue to try all different products, giving them all 90 days to work. Nothing. I go to another dermatologist and he suggested doing a chemical peel first and once they come closer to the surface, lancing them and that won't leave a scar. Chem peel was not one of those that turned face beet red, thank God, and after 3 visits, I had a couple surface on my cheek that were lanced with no problems. However, in the office, I was told my forehead would take over a year since they are deep. Umm, what? You can only get a peel like this every 30 days per my insurance, so forget it. Frustrated, I hit the internet again. Now that I'm changing my eating to a more raw based diet, I read about raw coconut oil. Why not, right? I mean, my better way of eating is agreeing with me and it's something I wish I did starting in my teens. So I started using the raw coconut oil a week ago. Oh, did I mention that my skin was showing signs of dryness? Anyway, now, a week later, two deep "white" millia that were on my right cheek close to my nose, busted out and left on their own while I was washing my face today! I don't use an expensive brush, I actually have a plain, dedicated tooth brush that I use on my face that has been helping me. I have found that works much better than many of the expensive face brushes. The millia on my forehead are starting to get closer to the surface! I'm so happy! Now, when using raw coconut oil it is going to bring everything to the surface. That is a very good thing and it means you are doing something right. You want to get this out of your body! So give it a chance! I also started taking 1 tsp a day orally of the raw coconut oil to help clean from the insi

Pros:

improves skin texture
fades scars
can apply all over body, face , hair

Cons:

very greasy feeling

i suffered with acne for 2 years, was finally put on doxycylline and benzol peroxide which made me clear after 5 months ( painfully long i know but its worth it), but i had trouble fading the many deep scars left over from my acne. i had been using bio oil which improved my scars a little however it was only when my best friend told me about the anti aging benefits of coconut oil, i have been using it for 2 week now every night and leave in on all night to soak into my skin, in conjunction with bio oil i woke up this morning and only noticed for the first time in 2 years my skin was clear, 100 percent and my scars had faded significantly, my skin is smooth aswell. i wouldn't reccemend this to people still suffering with acne as it could promote more breakouts, but for those who know how to manage their skin and are looking for a scar improver/ anti ager i would definitly reccemend this. ** my best friends aunty layed out in the sun all her life and her skin is brown tanned and like leather now, however for the last 10 years she had been using coconut oil on her face, and she is now 50 and has no wrinkles, not one!!!!!!!

Pros:

Feels great going on, soaks up nicely, smells delightful, reduces size of pimples overnight

Cons:

none so far

Last night I went to new seasons and bought this stuff, used it overnight and there is already an improvement in my skin. I only have problems on my chin and forehead but I put it all over. Not only do my breakouts appear smaller, but my cheeks and everywhere else I put it glows with moisture. I will continue to use and re post future results!

Pros:

It works! Be sure to get the Organic Extra Virgin kind. The oil has many uses...you can eat it, use it as a body moisturizer and even as a hair conditioner! Very affordable pricing for a jar and it lasts a long time.

Cons:

Leaves skin with a little bit of an oily finish...but that soon goes away.

I have used Dan's BP treatment and it has been working well for years...however, I just turned 40 and along with that came thyroid and hormonal issues. I started to get breakouts on both sides of my neck (tiny red marks and pimples). I tried dabbing the BP on it, but my neck is soooo fair and sensitive, it left it red and iritated. I had recently purchased a jar of organic extra virgin coconut oil as I heard it helps with thyroid. I was browsing this website and I saw where people had positive results using the coconut oil for acne. I figured I had nothing to lose by putting some on my neckline where the small bumps/pimples were....and sure enough, it looked better the next morning. Best of all, no irritation. I have only been using it for a week, but the acne has improved greatly. I am now wondering if I should try this on my face and see if it works as good as, or better, than the BP!
