Pros:

Natural, of course
Smells good

Cons:

Expensive
Drying, oddly enough
Did not help heal acne or red marks

I've been using this for a month so maybe thats not long enough to write a completely fair review. I had my hopes up on this one. So first few weeks my skin just got rough and dry. My red marks seemed more noticeable. So then i started using more. Dryness got better but started breaking out a bit and again, red marks seemed worse. Bleh. This morning after i took a shower, which always seems drying for me because our water is not filtered, I used my old moisturizer (Egyptian Magic) and my skin looks a whole lode better. Just complexion wise. So, for me, tamanu oil didn't really work. I may try to return it or i might keep it to keep trying on stretch marks.

Pros:

It seems that it can help fight bacteria, whenever my acne get itchy I will put tamanu oil on then the itchiness will disappear.
very moisturizing. Maybe can make some small pimples dry up faster.

Cons:

I don't think its an effective acne fighter.

really, I think it will work better for wrinkles or dehydrated skin but not acne prone skin. It's oil and the oil can not be absorbed by skin completely. I have a lot of acne on my face, I don't think Tamanu oil helps at all. I checked it out on Google before purchase, but i think all the acne related stuffs are schemes.

Pros:

Very moisturizing
Evens skin tone
Does not clog pores
Only need a small amount

Cons:

Does nothing for red marks
Doesn't help breakouts
Smells a bit strong-spicy!

I have been using this religiously for three To four weeks every morning and night, particularly on red marks and scarring and I would have to say that it has not really helped much. My skin tone is great and I did not breakout from this. It is a great moisturizer. I used it on a fresh burn and it did help heel it super fast. Not sure why it didn't work on my red marks and scars:-( Everyone is different though. Ladies on makeup alley swear by this!!
