Product used: MaMa (Lotion)
Cons:
People with acne my break out for a few months at first as the pores, blackheads and pimples come to the surface. If the skin is dry or sensitive or dark use only twice a week at first for a few weeks. Use Lubriderm lotion before MAMA Lotion.
This is a great product. The greatest mistake is to go too fast, especially if people have not used a strong AHA or Retinoid before. To avoid irritation apply Lubriderm Lotion before applying MAMA Lotion until the skin gets used to the product. Be patient, it really works if you go SLOW and give it some time.

Product used: Emu Oil
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.
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 :)

I have been using MaMa Lotion for over a year. My acne started cleazring afer a few weeks and I haven had any major outbreaks since starting. I have also noted benefit in my pore size and a general brightness to my skin! I had been having it shipped to Canada from the US for the past year but now see that it is available in Canada from [link edited out] This has really saved on shipping.

Product used: Emu 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
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.
Pros:
In my experience this product works very well for acne, aging skin, pigmentation, scars, dry rough feet and elbows etc.
