Pros
- and before anyone hates on the beef tallow, it was the only thing that made my acne go away after cystic breakouts post tretinoin.
- Tallow has been a game changer for my skin. I have hundreds of dollars of skin products that don't work as well as one little jar of tallow. Nothing hydrates like it.
- Been using it for a little over a month now and it’s been great for my dry skin this winter!
- Tallow has been the opposite for me. It melts into the skin slowly, stays nourishing for hours, and feels like something my skin actually recognizes. Instead of sitting on top like lotion, it absorbs in a way that feels grounding and pro...
Cons
- Beef tallow is incredibly comedogenic. It’s unregulated and there are no scientific benefits to it.
- Beef tallow is extremely pore clogging and clearly not good for your skin type.

- If you’re going to keep using them, I would make sure you’ve got a thorough cleansing routine that is able to fully remove the tallow because it is comedogenic.
- I think you need an actual moisturizer in your routine am/pm. Top it with the rosehip and tallow if you want- personally I would ditch both- but neither one of those are going to hydrate your skin like it needs.

Tallow isn't a very useful moisturiser due to its comedogenic ingredients. It stores poorly and is a breeding ground for bacteria.
I would also kindly encourage you to take a holiday from the beef tallow for 1 month now that you’ve stopped the tretinoin to see how your skin does as it very commonly is the culprit for acne that looks like this.
I think it is because you use animal fat on your faec as a moisturiser 🤮
