As a novice, I followed some info I had read and used this in a face wash for acne. It has not prevented the acne (I'm working on something new,) but has helped to heal the acne I get much more quickly than I usually heal. So from a skin treatment standpoint, it works well!

This is an excellent oil to have on hand in the winter. I am sure I have not found all the uses I could use this oil for in the winter.
