cool stuff.

I just buy it from GNC. costs 10 dollars a bottle (NOW Brand) and it helps dryness/flakiness.

I've used it for little over a year and it doesn't affect redmarks much if at all. If you are on the regimen looking to fade redmarks I recommend a 50/50 apple cider vinegar toner a 10% AHA for a night moisturizer.

im curious. it seems like most people are using this to cure their dry flaky skin. but what if your skin is usually oily throughout the day? would this stuff still be good in treating acne when your skin is normally oily'?

Hmm.. this is making me want to try it lol. Do you feel it could replace a moisturizer?

[CCasey]

^ Yeah, it can. However, it's probably best to use it at night only because it takes a while for the skin to absorb the "oil" (wax, really). So unless you use a very, very small amount or don't mind a shiny face, use it in the morning as well.

I've been mixing a couple drops with my moisturizer (neutrogena oil free fresh moisture), and putting it on OVER bp.

It sounds like many of you are just using it straight? Without mixing and no bp?

Is that really the best way?

Btw for those wondering where to buy - I bought mine at Trader Joe's for $7.

How does this compare to Emu Oil?

Based on this thread...I bought jojoba oil and mixed in a few drops of tea tree oil. That was pretty messy! How does anyone do that?

I put it on my face after a shower, even a few drops, and I was/am pretty shiny. It seems to be absorbing pretty well. I am using this in lieu of a moisturizer.

I am looking forward to results! and will post any issues I find.
