Has coconut oil helped anyone with their acne?!
Question: I've read that it really helps, but im not sure if it will make it worse or not. Wanted some real opinions, not made up stories that can be on the internet.

Actually, coconut oil is antibacterial also (as well as antiviral). Tea tree oil is a drying oil, which I wouldn't put on my face (only if I had a cut or something). It's hard on your skin.
Coconut oil does not clog my pores - I use it instead of moisturizer...or as moisturizer maybe I should say. It also acts as a sunscreen (spf 4 or so).

Oil is oil..it's a lipid which causes clogging of the pores (thus blemishes). One's natural body oil causes clogging, for example. Try a product such as ProActiv, it truly does work very well.
Not sure if coconut oil will helps but you can try this remedy.
Mix lemon juice, rose water and glycerin in equal quantities. Apply daily before retiring to bed.Check out http://useinfo-acne.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.
The only "oil" which might help acne would be tea trea oil because it has antibacterial properties. No other oil will help with acne, despite whatever you might hear from "home remedy" stories.
