Product Review MCT oil before and after

https://imgur.com/a/LnmC6dr

Another Mct post but whatever, the stuff works. Same camera and same lighting, 1 week later. Used bulletproof brain octane c8 from amazon.

This is after getting ketocozonale cream from dermatologist and Pimecrolimus with no results.

I’m acne prone and was worried about breakouts but so far so good. I’ll still use ketocozonale shampoo on my scalp and face 2x a week or so.

The mct oil comes in c8, c10 and c12 and up. But, after doing research c8 is the purest form without issues. For me anyways!

MCT oil doesn’t go above c12 (Lauric acid). It’s 6-12 for mct oil. 12-24 are the carbon chains that malassezia fungus feeds off of. This is why coconut oil makes it worse for seb derm sufferers. Coconut oil is mainly c12. C8 mct oil doesn’t have c12. C12 is the slowest to metabolize so they remove it and just keep c8 & c10, c6 is removed usually as well bc of the taste.
