A fatty acid from coconut oil with striking antimicrobial activity against acne bacteria. In lab tests it outperforms benzoyl peroxide at lower concentrations. The research is promising but limited to in vitro and animal models; no large human RCT yet. Worth noting: the concentrations used in the studies are far higher than what arrives via a coconut-oil facial oil, so look for formulas that list it as a dedicated active if you want the therapeutic dose.
