Pros:it is great for my legs after I shave, whitch I usually itch at and cause scars when the hair grows back slowly, it is great on my scalp at night, I have psoiasis, and for acne, use very little or else it will be greasy, but it does help the scars!
Cons:it smells like chicken fat, you can add oil scent but not if sensitive, it is an oil so dont use too much!
Bottom Line:I thought at first oil is not for acne oily face....but then someone told me that we wash our face and if you dont use a mousturizer after, that your face will overproduce oil because you have dreid it out when washing. and then you have oily skin. so knowing you need to mousturize with non- por clogging non-bacterial spreading mousturizer, I tried it! I love it. if you use a little it isnt greasy on my face. I apply makeup like normal. it is great for use all over my body, scalp to toes. I recommend it for many issues...mostly scarring and itchyness that would otherwise need cortazon or whatever they give you for rashes/itch/bug bites ect.

Bottom Line:It works great.

Pros:No more dry skin, Lightens red marks, Doesn't add to more pimples
Cons:Can only be used at night because it can look a tiny bit greasy. But that's all.
Bottom Line:I have horrible acne. It just suddenly went crazy about 3 months ago. I tried every thing and nothing works. My skin gets really irritated with strong facial cleansers such as apricot scrub or neutrogena advanced solutions. I got a lot of under the skin pimples that were very painful. I had blue-emu lotion because i'm an athlete and it helps my soreness and i read that it can help scarring and inflamed pimples so I started using at night time. It makes my skin softer and my nodule acne seems to heal quicker and come back less. It's amazing. No lotion ever works on me, and with this stuff I have absolutely no peeling are dryness.

Pros:really works, natural, no chemicals
Cons:quite greasy. funky wet dog smell when in the bottle
Bottom Line:I used emu oil after my face was burnt by the spatter of hot oil and my face healed with not a single scar. great moisturizing, great for sunburn and for reversing early signs of aging. unless you have dry skin or live in an arid climate, best to use it only at night

Pros:Emu oil is a proven anti-inflammatory, with effects comparable to that of ibuprofen; a bacteriostatic, meaning that it does not promote the growth of bacteria;a highly penetrating oil that absorbs without leaving a greasy feel; and a non-comedogenic.
Cons:100% Emu Oil is very thick. Not all products are sourced from the actual animal. Is an animal bi-product.
Bottom Line:Started getting pimples at age 10, got bad at age 12. Moderate acne consistently till 19 1/2. I'm 20. Don't have a pimple anymore

Emu oil naturally contains Vitamin E, which is a major antioxidant and healing agent; Vitamin A, a known skin repairer and antioxidant; Linoleic acid, which helps to ease muscle aches and joint pain; Oleic acid, which is a proven skin cell regenerator and anti-wrinkle agent; Sapogens, proven skin softeners; and Terpines, known antiseptics

You must get a product that is 100% emu oil. I add tea tree oil (however much you like) to thin the oil out. Tea tree oil application can be as beneficial as 5% Benzoyl Peroxide (just takes a little longer to see the effects) so this way its a treatment and a moisturiser.
Tea Tree oil has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. But get the 100% tea tree oil from your Pharmacy not the mixed. (You can use it as a spot treatment undiluted but suggest for all over face, mix it with the emu oil or other car
