I've also had oily skin all my life and would have never dreamed of putting anything with oil on my face. Yet, it works great. If I have any kind of outbreak at all, I make sure I rub coconut oil on it to speed up the recovery back to normal. Also, a constant application of coconut oil can get rid of moles. You keep a small coconut oil-soaked bandaid over the mole for a few days to two weeks and the mole goes away.
Also, I'm curious about the comedogenic ratings you are talking about. Does the information say they used Virgin Cold-Pressed Coconut Oil? If not, then I'd be suspect about just a rating for generic coconut oil because they are most definitely not the same.
