Emu Oil is my new favorite! It moisturizes well and doesn't make me break out. A must for everyone with dry yet blemished skin. SkinBio's version is a bit pricey, so I am using some from a heathfood store right now.

I hated this product from first whiff!!!
It was VERY greasy, smelled like bacon fat (I am a vegetarian) & made my skin look dull & sallow.
I broke out terribly with the SB line. Emu Oil may be more suited to dryer skintypes...still only using a very tiny drop for your whole face.
I have read & heard so many great things about SB & was really disappointed with my results. Dr Pickart was kind enought to give me full refund. If you decide to try the line, I would suggest buying the trial packages first...just to make sure.

The quality of this oil isn't bad or anything, but I have to agree with some of the other posters here--there's just something so wrong about rubbing this on my face. I feel bad every time I put it on. I'll take olive oil over this any day, simply for this reason. For those of you who aren't offended by it, I'd say it is thicker in texture (even a bit gritty here and there) than most oils out there, and it isn't clear, but kind of cloudy in color--sort of the color of vaseline while it is still in the jar. Even though it is thicker, it doesn't feel heavier, and it's not as thoroughly moisturizing, so it's a good option for the acne prone. I didn't like the fact that this came to me in two lipbalm sized tubs, rather than some sort of squirt bottle, which would have been less of a mess to deal with.

Emu oil moisturises as any animal fat will - very well. I actually bought schmaltz (chicken fat) and got the same results. However, I eat chickens - I don't eat emu and I have actually seen the creatures and fell in love with them.
Since I am against animal testing and "deriving" emu oil means slaughtering the bird, I will not buy it again.

This moisturizer really impressed me. Along with the CP serum, it has made my skin so smooth. I love how easily the oil applies. It doesn't clog my pores nor caused any breakouts.

I really like this oil. I can't believe it is derived from an Ostrich-like bird! In anycase, I am using it on top of CP serum in the morning and on top of Protest & Restore Cream at night and I am waking up to extremely moisturized and soft skin every morning. I also am using it on my hands as it is not very greasy and am loving it. I have dry skin and after three weeks, it seems that I won't be needing a moisturizer everyday anymore. My skin no longer pulls.
Will definetly continue to purchase this when needed and am planning to use it on my body in the summer since a little goes a long way.

Really good emollient moisturizer. Doesn't cause me any breakouts and soaks in my skin without a greasy feel(as long as I don't use to much.) A little definitely goes a long way. When I'm in need of more moisture than my normal nighttime fare, I turn to this stuff now.
