OK, coconut oil has been good to me in some ways (with my hair and scalp). But with my skin, it doesn't do anything about my blemishes. It leaves my skin feeling wonderful, but it does nothing for my acne. Sooo, I recently purchased 100% tea tree oil and I will buy 100% jojoba oil tomorrow. I am feeling wonderful with the diluted tea tree oil on my face (as a toner) followed by a sunscreen. My plan is to continue with the TTO and sunscreen during the day and end the day with a homemade lotion of 3 parts jojoba oil to 1 part tea tree oil. I HOPE THIS WORKS!
I have medium brown skin so when my acne scars, it leaves a dark spot for about 3 weeks. Hopefully, this helps to reduce the active acne and speed up healing scars.

I will post updates as I go along with this regimine - and hope someone finds it useful.

Oh, I have combination skin that is sensitive and prone to mild acne breakouts. They are not zits or cysts, they are usually small pimples, but they leave awful marks. Basically, I can't go a week without seeing a small potentially scarring pimple (even if I don't squeeze it!).

I'm so sick and tired of all the crap out there that promises but never delivers!

Aside, has anyone used these products?

Tea tree oil doesn't work for me. I do find most of products working for sometime and then skin is resistant to its effects. I usually keep on changing
