Pros:It faded some of my spots really fast (And by spots I mean marks leftover from acne).
Cons:Didn't seem to help my existing acne...and didn't seem to prevent it either... So I still got pimples.
Bottom Line:I noticed an improvement within a week.....Some marks afeded faster than other....and I guess thy are still fading... I worse it twice a day, in the morning/night. Seemed to help... I'll still have to get laser, but its helped.

Pros:cheap, works well, makes skin soft and smooth, good for all acne
Cons:can be a bit greasy at times.
Bottom Line:I've been using this for less than a week and there are definite noticeable improvements! If you have lots of leftover marks like me, this is a good treatments. I only get like one or 2 little pimples lately, and I mix the Emu Oil with pure tea tree oil. It helps make your skin soft, and is much better for you than BP, which just made my skin feel burned. Good Emu Oil shouldn't smell at all. I picked mine up at a natural food store in central london.
I accidently burned myself this afternoon trying to put hot soup in a blender. put on some emu oil and here i am, 5 hours later, no pain and no redness!

Pros:I wanted to wait a few weeks before I rated it - but the results after 1-2 days were amazing! It cleared me up, and any existing bumps.
Cons:None, zilch
Bottom Line:I purchased a high grade product, and i mix 2-3 drops of emu oil with 2-3 drops of tea tree oil. I don't wear a moisturizer - just this mixture, and I really rub it in to my skin. It doesn't smell at all (the emu oil) and because I massage it in, it's not too greasy on my skin - I didn't have oily skin in the first place.

I've struggled for a number of years, and while I'll need to give it 6 months before I'm satisfied that it really does work.

Price quoted is in NZ dollars.

Pros:Excellent moisturizer, are slowly fading my red marks, have not had one breakout while using this oil.
Cons:Smells funky, an army of ants somehow attacked my bottle (a disgusting site), now I must keep it in a ziplock bag. Has not done much for my shallow rolling scars.
Bottom Line:I would purchase emu oil again. This is my first time using this product and my skin feels so amazingly soft. I thought I would breakout with this oil but to my suprise, I haven't at all. I can wear it under my makeup, but after 30 min my face starts looking really shiny so I'd rather not keep reapplying makeup, so I choose to use it only while staying home or before bed.

Pros:calms skin
reduces redness overnight
makes crows feet appear less noticeable
Cons:none
Bottom Line:Emu oil should be white and creamy with no odour. If yours has an odour, it is not of good quality. Spend the extra $ for the good stuff.

Also, a little goes a long way. Only use a tiny bit at night. My face is never greasy when I go to bed because I massage only a small amount into my skin using my ring finger for my whole face, not just around my eyes.

I had redness and peeling from doctor presc. acne medication. The stuff was too harsh for my sensitive skin. My face was raw and tight. I used emu oil for one night and my face was significantly better. Also, after only 2 nights, my active lesions are a lot less "hot".

I'm hooked.

Pros:Fantastic moisturisation, makes my skin plump and calms down my facial redness and irritated areas of damaged skin. The best product I've ever used for healing my skin!
Cons:Smells like a hamster cage (!) although I don't find it smells once applied. It's a bit greasy.
Bottom Line:I use Emu & Manuka oil from [link removed] and had excellent results in just a few weeks. By no means a miracle cure, but worked better for me than any chemical based product. According to Mezza, Emu oil contains Vitamins A&E, sapogens (skin softners), Omegas 3,6&9, terpines (antiseptic agents)& Oleic Acid (skin regenerator). It's hypo-allergenic (great for my hyper-sensitive skin), anti-inflammatory (I use it after lightbox therapy to calm down any redness) and very moisturising. The Emu oil isn't preventative as such, but the added Manuka oil is 33 times stronger than tea tree oil and both are very calming, whereas tea tree products sting my skin. I apply a thin layer with clean fingers after washing my face, and a thicker layer at night, focussing on heavily damaged areas. I use it under everyday minerals makeup as the powder reduces the shine. Never had a breakout or purging from emu & manuka oil :)

Pros:It's a food by-product. Works on keloid scars, but you have to apply daily and stick with it. Age spots fade pretty quick, like within a week Psorisas is gone almost overnight. I used Purple Emu Products.
Cons:I really can't think of anything bad
Bottom Line:Works great and if you get AEA Certified Fully Refined, it does not smell bad. A little goes a long way. Two ounces lasts me a month with daily use.

I've been using Emu oil for about a month now, and I find that it has helped to fade those red marks, and also heal inflammed, sore pimples. Usually they take about 4-5 days to go away, but I just dab some emu oil on it, and it goes away within 2 days. It's great. The only problem is, it's got a very oily finish...So I tend to use it at night. Other than that, great stuff. Didn't break me out, either.
