I think it is also about the amount used. People act as if they are just going to go all gung ho and slather oil all over their faces. A reasonable amount should never hurt you in the first place. But once people think something is good for them, they began to think more is better when in these cases, less is more.
Question, if coconut oil is comedogenic and can clog pores(if the user is prone to clogged pores on their skin), can the same be expected when using coconut oil in hair care ? For example, on the scalp, since the scalp skin closely resembles skin on the rest of the body ? I remember I used coconut oil on my scalp and my hair didn't react positively like others and my facial skin does have a tendency to clogged.
OOh I love this input Simply Marvelous Hair Care! You have a very interesting question (and answer), and you have officially started me on a more in-depth investigation into skin vs hair. I've noticed many of my own products are equally good for skin and hair. Maybe it is the same for other brands as well. :)
I use pure organic coconut oil directly on my face as a moisturizer and it has COMPLETELY shrunk my pores in the process though my intentions were just to rid myself of dry skin. It's completely changed my complexion with no clogging
Hi Sarah - well it is wonderful to hear you've had a good experience with coconut oil. I have never had problems with it either so we can count ourselves lucky we aren't prone to clogged pores. :)

Maybe I just answered my own question. Lol.
