Re: Coconut Oil, Miracle Food!

Hmm, that's very interesting to hear kathrynj, it's really wonderful that you've hit on something that works for you! All the comedogenicity ratings I've come across list it as quite comedogenic and as a scientist I don't put much faith in anecdotal evidence, it's just the way I was trained! There are too many other natural products out there with antibacterial properties (like tea tree oil and neem oil) and other natural oils that are non comedogenic (eg jojoba oil) for me to risk using it. Though of course it's a personal decision and everyone's skin will react differently to different products. The only real way to find out what works is through trial and error. I might give it a go myself in the future, but since I've found products that work for me I can't see myself risking it. My acne is just about gone after 4 years of suffering, so I wouldn't want to do anything that could possibly bring it back, if ya know what I mean!
