Is coconut oil good for face or does it cause pimples?

Here is the thing: coconut oil scores 4 out of 5 on the comedogenic scale, meaning it will absolutely clog your pores especially if your skin is oily or acne prone. Yes it has lauric acid which is antibacterial and can fight acne causing bacteria, but here's the catch. The same fatty acids that moisturize also trap sebum, dead skin, and bacteria inside your pores. So you get the worst of both worlds. If you have oily or acne prone skin, avoid it completely on your face. Dry skin might tolerate it better but honestly you are better off using lighter non-comedogenic oils. Fermented milk products like yogurt are way safer alternatives if you want that moisture.
