Some questions about Emu oil, Camellia, Chrysalyx, etc...

Are any of them safe to put around the eye area and eyelids? Will they help firm up those places?

I already orderd Emu oil to use with copper peptides from skinbiology. I'm also going to order EpidermxII but I can't decide on the Silkia camellia oil or the Chrysalx.

I heard good things from here about camellia oil helping with pitted scars. How is the Chrysalx with scars? Can it replace standalone dmae serums? How long does one bottle last? If I get the Chrysalx, can I use the emu oil to make it more effective?

I'm using lacsal now at one end of the day and copper peptides at the other. Any advice on where I should fit the EpidermxII and the camellia or Chrysalx? Should I stop the lacsal?

Thanks and sorry for all the questions.

i don't know about Chrysalyx, haven't tried it but i can vouch for the Silkia camellia oil ... it has plumped up my depressed acne scars to the point where i can barely see them now. I think you don't need the Lacsal if you use Epidermx2 ... you can use Epidermx2 at one end of the day and copper peptide at the other, the oil and Chrysalyx can be used both times after Epidermx2 and copper peptide.

Hi, does anyone know how the camelia oil helps w/ pitted scars? or does Silkia brand have something extra in it. Also is there a particular method of applying the oil for scar relief? thanks.

How long did it take for the camellia oil to plump up your scars to that point? Did you use it with anything else like CPs, EpidermxII? I wonder if I should have bought the Emu oil now since the camellia oil seems to do the same thing and more.

I'm probably gonna order later tonight. Hope I can get more opinions before that.

it took roughly a year to get to that point, i used epidermx along with it. I also used glycolic acid peels once in a while but they didn't do anything for the scars except improving my skin tone and texture. Before i used these products i had used Retin-A religiously for an extended period of time but only saw minimal difference on the scars.

I started using Silkia Camellia oil recently. I don't use the oil alone as it doesn't provide enough moisture for my skin. you might be able to use the chrysalyx along with the camellia if your skin needs more moisture like mine does. anyone currently using these two together who can explain more?

and welcome to the forum Very Happy

Thanks for the welcome Smile

I joined a while ago but didn't post much.

I fixed my skin moisture problem after using olay definity for a while. Before that my face would be dry and flaky after washing and my pore area next to my nose would be red.

Besides scars, I still need to tighten up my eyelids which I had alot of problems with and the reason why I registered here early this year. They are alot better now but one side is higher than the other. That is why I need to know if the emu, camellia and Chrysalx is safe/good to put on my eyelids.
