Pros: heal scar or tatoo FAST. Cons: oily. when you sleep with that on your face it can leave your pillow greasy Bottom Line: 20$ and last for month. don't use it all time. 2-3 night per week is just enough.

Delo, Washington, DC Feb 27th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Clears blemishes, softens wrinkles. Great for dry skin areas. I love to use it at night before I go to bed. My skin looks plump and dew kissed when I awaken in the morning. I recommend using a small bit around the eyes. A little goes a long way. Cons: Using too much will make you look greasy. It feels very light, so one may not realize that they are using too much. Bottom Line: I don't have acne, but it works well to maintain aging skin. I mix in some green tea to thin it out and cucmber extract to tighten pores. People often ask me my skin care secrets. When I tell them that I use Emu oil they seem shocked and don't believe me. But it is true. I have two grandchildren that people think are my kids. When they see me out with my 24 year old, they think I'm the older sister! I can't speak for anyone else, but I love it. Start using it in your mid twenties and your skin will stay youthful for many, many years to come! Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 25.00 Acne severity: very light Was this comment helpful?

Mike, Chicago Feb 18th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Calms my irritated and peeling skin better than anything. Cons: The main ingredient is oleic Acid, which is a known comedogen. IT DOES CLOG POURS!! do not use if you have oilly skin. Bottom Line: IT DOES CLOG POURS!!! The main ingredient is Oleic acid which is a known comedogen. That being said, I use it only becuase I use retin-A 0.1% at night and in the morning emu oil is the only thing that can stop the intense peeling. If i didnt use retina i wouldnt use emu oil, becuase it can clog pours. Do not listen to the crack pots about it not causing acne, cause it can if you already have oilly type skin. Dry skin types it might help. However, if you use it for reasons like i use it then its the best thing out there to calm irritated and peeling skin. It does have antibacterial properties, cause it contains linoleic acid as well(which is why dry skin types with acne could benifit), I actually used it once for athletes foot and it worked really really well.

Anonymous, Tucson Jan 29th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Very moisturizing, no smell if you get a good brand, and all natural Cons: Too much makes you shiny/oily, and can clog poors Bottom Line: I first got emu oil 1 yr ago for a new tattoo, and decided to try using it on my face for a moisturizer instead of olive oil. At first I thought it was great because it's super moisturizing, it can make you look shiny, especially if you're prone to oily skin, but a little goes a long way. Unfortunately, I stopped using this about a month ago because I realized that not only were my breakouts getting worse and worse, but my pores have gotten larger and it seems something I was using was clogging my pores and hence leading to more breakouts. So, while I still love emu for being so moisturizing yet non-greasy, I just can't really use it on my face. Excellent for healing a new tat though.

froggymorning, PA, US Jan 29th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: High in essential fatty acids, emu oil works incredibly well when applied to the skin. It is natural rather than synthetic oil thus it has everything our skin needs, naturally! Cons: 100% pure rendered animal fat. Emus are relatives of the ostrich and look them. Emu oil is a by-product of the emu meat industry- the fat trimmed from the meat is ground and refined to make it a free-flowing oil rather than a coagulated fat. Bottom Line: 100% Natural and does what it says! If you can get past the animal ethics issue. I can, Id rather have good skin, and since I eat meat, what amounts to smearing melted chicken fat on my face is not a problem. It made me curious to try emu meat at a restaurant that even had alligator on the menu, and it was ok. I got the oil to start treating wrinkles, and my skin sucks it up and feels moisturized all the time, so I've needed to use less. My wrinkles have improved! I put it on my kids' faces before going outside, it definitely keeps their little cheeks from getting windburn or chapped from the cold! Im really glad P.E.T.A. hasn't gotten a hold of the emu industry yet, and I hope they don't, I need my emu oil! Recommended: Yes Usage: froggymorning has used this item for a few months.

Emeny, USA Jan 24th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Doesn't clog pores, helps red marks heal and fade, moisturizes and softens skin, doesn't smell bad considering it's the fat from the back of an emu, inexpensive way to attack scarring Cons: looks oily on the skin (doesn't necessarily feel like there's a ton of oil on your face, though) Bottom Line: I've used this product for exactly one week. It's not a miracle cure/product, but I have noticed that my red marks are fading more quickly. I have not noticed it reducing inflammation in active acne, though. But also, it doesn't cause active acne, so it certainly won't hurt anything. I only apply it at night (due to the oiliness, I am not attempting to cover this stuff with make-up...would probably turn my brushes and make-up a gunky mess), and I just apply it to the areas that need to heal. Any red marks or possible scars get doused in this stuff each night before (usually try to let it absorb for close to half an hour if I can) I apply my topical retinoid and antibiotic. So basically, I use it in place of a moisturizer. I'm hoping that with continued use, I will achieve more dramatic results. The brand I use is Thunder Ridge Emu Products which I purchased from a local Vitamin World for $16. It is 100% Emu Oil, so it isn't smelly. Many benefits. Few cons. I'd try it if Recommended: Yes Usage: Emeny has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 16.00 Acne severity: severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

penguins4kali, sonoma,ca Dec 16th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

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.

Marissa, springfield, IL Nov 29th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: My friend got there face and arms burnt like a 3rd degree burn. The doctors put emu oil on their face and on his arms they put the net things. And the face skin was completely healed and no scars. The arms had scars and didnt really heal all the way. Cons: I dont have any cons but so you all know. If you have a scar or scars dont ask your doctor about it because they will not recommened it. Bottom Line: It works great. Recommended: Yes Usage: Marissa has used this item for a few weeks.

Amarie, Florida Nov 1st, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

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. Recommended: Yes Usage: Amarie has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 13.00 Acne severity: severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
