I am 21 years old w/normal-oily skin. I plan on using this product for my acne dark spots. Will this product be to harsh for my skin? How is it used?

I have been using it for a sun spot on my chest for months and it may have lightened up a bit but nothing dramatic. The only reason I keep using it is because it was a little pricey. I did use it on my cheeks for the beginning of sun spots (I am in my 40's), I have normal skin and I broke out from it. So I went back to just using on my chest. Hope I helped.

Truthfully, I have no background to tell you one way or the other. I can say, from my experience, it's not harsh on my skin and only feels drying, which is a good thing, for me. I hope that helps?

I am not a doctor, so I cannot advise regarding your question, however, I can tell you that I have very sensitive skin and have been using this product for over 15 years for age spots. You must use it twice a day,give it time (perhaps 2 to 4 weeks), wear sunscreen and a hat when outdoors for a period of time. It does not stop the spots from reappearing, but, again, if you use it twice daily and following the rest of my advice, it does lighten the spot (in my case, age spots) significantly. I recommend you get the advice of a dematologist before using.

I have been using the lightstim acne light since April 2013. There is nothing I recommend highly enough for someone with acne. I used to get light - moderate acne on my chin, and cheek area. Since using the light every morning (usually takes me 40 min to do my whole face) I have nearly perfect skin. You can use the light at night too or twice a day if desired. It's expensive but I would pay 1,000 if I needed to. I would buy the light if you have bad skin.

I love this product and use it as a daily moisturizer for my entire body, including lightly on my face (I usually have oily and acne prone skin and this does not make it worse)....you should research the benefits of coconut oil to answer your questions, unless you are asking how good this particular oil is. I have done TONS of research on coconut oil and this organic, extra virgin, cold pressed Nutiva brand is AMAZING. If you get it in the 54oz twin pack, auto shipped it's also the cheapest one out of all of the jugs (yes, I spent literally HOURS going over price!! lol) I hope this helps at least somewhat. :) I love this product and use it as a daily moisturizer for my entire body, including lightly on my face (I usually have oily and acne prone skin and this does not make it worse)....you should research the benefits of coconut oil to answer your questions, unless you are asking how good this particular oil is.

I have dry/combo skin so I don't know what this would be like for oily skin. It *does* have a moisturizing finish to it. And it is slightly heavy. If I had to guess I would say that it could make oily skin break out. You may get a more definitive answer from someone that actually has oily skin

I have dark skin too, and this worked great for me! The dark spots should fade away but it don expect fast results this formula takes a little time.

From what I understood about this product was that darker women had problems with it, I wouldn't recommend it. But to each it's own, it's good for dark spots but I can't guarantee it will work for your type of skin.

I am 59, so my skin is very different than a young persons skin. Overall my skin is clearer after using this oil, and other organic oils to both cleanse my skin and as a first step moisturizer. I bought a big jar or organic cooking grade coconut oil (which comes in a solid form) which I like and Organic Jojoba oil. My skin seems to get used to a product quickly and not show the great results that occur at first for very long. I do have adult acne (oh wonderful!) on both sides of my chin, and I can't really tell if it makes it worse, it hasn't made it go away. (Look up honey and cinnamon on Google for this treatment of acne, I am going to try it). Hope this helps. My friends daughter 14 tried to use the argon oil, and did have immediate break outs.

I mainly use it for my body not my face but I am 22. It is too harsh for my face on a daily use. If I have a bad one then I'll use it on my face in that specific area. But I would give it a try you get a good amount in the tube seeing as you don't need much per use.

Start with the 10% and after you go through the product than move up to 12%. I have combo/oily skin and also sensitive to break out. This product works good for me. If you have a breakout that you messed with, this will sting a tad when it enters the poped zit. It is a acid- so if you sweat it off and it runs into your eyes it may also burn- so I apply before bedtime and it does not discolor my pillow cases.

I too have mature skin that is prone to break outs. I have been using this soap for a couple of months now on my entire body and I have not had any break outs. In fact, the skin on my face has never been better. It make my skin soft and moisturized with out being greasy or clogging my pores. I picked this up at my local grocery store in their "natural" section.

I think it would be too much for oily skin. It is, wonderful for dry skin. I see a big difference in my skin. I love this product.

I am not sure. I works really well on dark spots and to even out your skin tone. I use it on my face and back of hands on age spots.

I do not know since I have not had that issue; it may be too oily for acne. But I believe in this product for all skin issues otherwise !

I've found that while it does dry your skin, once your used to it both dark spots and acne improve. You HAVE to let your skin get used to it, it may take a few weeks but you will be happy!

Do it enough times and you'll get great results of pimples oily skin yes it will leave your skin pretty flawless.As of scars it lightens them alot and makes them less visible.I would say dilute it first times then use it at full strength after a couple times it might leave your skin flaky with dark spots but with a couple days it will subside and you will have fresh beautiful skin.Then move up to a 35% tca peel you'll get great results there aswell

I use it in place of another wash. It's very creamy, and feels good when u massage it in your face. Sometimes I don't feel like it gets ALL of the makeup off, so i will do another round (I have very oily skin). Anyway, this is a great product, but if u r looking for something for acne, look at the jan Marini benzoyl peroxide topical treatment. It comes in a 5% and 10%. It works GREAT. I am 38 and and still get black and whiteheads sometimes. If I use this faithfully every night, it keeps me from breaking out. My aesthetician recommended it and I have found that it is much cheaper on Amazon than at the salon. Good Luck! I use it in place of another wash.

I think it will be good for your skin. I also have a combination skin. Oily face and dry rest of my body. It works good! Apply minimally to oily areas.
