Plus, my teenage daughter uses it, too, and she has hardly any spots - which is quite a feat if I compare her to schoolmates. Somehow it seems to prevent spots, despite it being an oil!!! It has - apparently - all sorts of cleansing qualities, so I suppose that would explain it.
Give it a try: you might be pleasantly surprised! It's certainly more natural than any of the "regular" creams on the market which contain loads and loads of man-made chemicals.

That's why I haven't tried it on my face because it seems too oily but I could certainly give it a try as a night time moisturizer for my face. Thanks for the info!
