If you are going to use coconut oil for acne treatment, make sure that it is virgin coconut oil. Refined coconut oil will not have the same health benefits. This is because, in the process of refining it, some of the important intrinsic antimicrobials were removed. The removal of such antimicrobials will reduce the strength of coconut oil in dealing with acne.
