Cons:
small amount is expensive, Takes a while to see noticeable difference
I'm not sure if it fades a way my acne scars yet. I have only been using it for two weeks. However, I haven't had muy usual cystic breakouts. I get the occasional tiny pimple from eating junk but it does work. I use it after I watch with tea tree/shea butter body wash. I use emu oil in the morning or before bed and sometimes swtich it up with 10% benzoyle peroxide which is also a lifesaver. Defitely a great moisturizer after usuing bp.

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
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.

Pros:
A little goes a long way! Reduces redness and scars, keeps my skin moisturized and looking good while on accutane.
Cons:
No cons, I love it.
I have not broken out from it, some people are concerned because of the texture, but it has antibacterial, inflamatory properties, so do not get discouraged by the fact that it feels oily, it is an oil.
Great product.

Pros:
Old scars have already starting to diminish, face is smoothed.
Cons:
Animal byproduct.
Wish I had found it sooner, and that it wasn't an animal byproduct.

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.
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:
Rubs in well, feels comfortable on skin, not harsh
Cons:
Hasn't really done anything after 3 months of usage on bacne red marks/scars.
Hasn't really done anything to my stubborn back acne red marks.
November 22, 2007
Pros:
Helps get rid of recent red marks and take down inflammation / swelling. Doesn't cause breakouts.
Cons:
Makes skin look oily while it's on (so I only use it at night). Quite expensive, tho a little bottle lasts forever. Need to shake before use. It's an animal byproduct.
It's not till I started using this again lately that I realised how good it is for recent red marks for acne, also takes down swelling of big bumps under skin that look like they may erupt. Good moisturiser too and natural so avoids all the rubbish ingredients you get in highstreet stuff. The one I use contains emu oil and pure vitamin e oil. Price listed is for a bottle (that lasts more than 8 months when used daily)

Pros:
For the first few days, it left my skin feeling smooth and my I was told I had a glowing health to my skin.
Cons:
Greasy.
Broke me out after a week of use.
The pimples that went away from my break-out left bad scars.
Expensive.
I bought "Thunderridge" Emu Oil from Vitamin World for about 20~ dollars. Emu Oil, even though it has beneficial vitamins (vitamin E, etc.) in it, it is obviously an OIL. It is an animal byproduct that's similar to human sebum. Think about it. If sebum causes pimples, would you put vitamin-filled sebum on your face? Of course not. For some people, this may work, just like the "oil-cleansing" method for face-washing. But even though it has vitamins, you are essential putting an OIL on your face to get rid of acne, which is CAUSED BY OIL. Every product I've began using that I read about on Acne.org always helped me. This product had the trend of "got rid of acne scars!", or "made redness go down!". Trust me, it doesn't do either. Not only did I horribly break out, my pimples were even redder than usual! I continued using this, just in case my skin was just "purging". Nope, it got worse.

Pros:
Helped reduce redness temporarily but after a week or two the effects seemed to stop
Cons:
I know im stating the obvious but the product is very oily and can clog pores and cause breakouts, also can only be applied at home.
The product I used was from a local health store, the bottle was small and i went through two in around 2 and a half months. At first I was seing results, I would apply the oil after I'd showered in the evening, that way my face wouldn't be too oily by time i went to bed. After around a week and a half the positive effects got less noticeable and the redness was back. This product will not heal scars but simply make them appear reduced for a period of time. Overall it didnt work great for me, it may be worth a try for others. I certainly wouldnt recommend this until yur acne has cleared up due to the oilyness of the product. I will put the recommended at No due to personnel results but it may be worth a try for people out there who want the skin to look temporarily smoother and less red.

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.
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!
Pros:
effective and No bad reaction to skin
