It has a high comedogenic rating (4 out of 5) and clogs pores easily. I use hemp oil, which has a really low comedogenic rating (0) and lots of beneficial properties for aging or damaged skin, plus is soaks in really quickly and doesn't feel greasy. I let it steep in green leaves for a few days and voila!
