| Grapeseed! I loooove it! I have oily, acne prone skin, but grapeseed has helped normalize it. |

Can you tell me how you are using this oil? I have pretty oily skin as well.
Thanks!

| I use it in an OCM cleansing oil mixed with essential oils (right now tea tree, ylang ylang and clary sage, but I'm still experimenting with those and then I use just a drop of it to moisturize after washing. |

| I am using the same oils. I mix jojoba, avocado and grapeseed oil its great for my skin, I like it very much. It control the sebum on the skin and is moisturizing and helps with acne. |

I have used and liked rosehip oil. It seemed to even out my skin tone a little and moisturise.
I have combination skin. Although my skin was somewhat dry at the time I was using it.
Some have reported that this oil has caused congestion/pimples so would advise anyone just starting out to use sparingly until you find how your skin reacts.
I look forward to more comments. On the lookout to try some different oils. |

| I have a bottle of emu oil, but I can't stand the smell! Does all emu oil have a strong smell, or is it just this particular brand? |

This might be kind of a dumb question, but can you use olive oil from the cooking section at the grocery store or is there an olive oil that's specifically for skin care? |

| I use olive oil, coconut oil, emu oil and I am about to order Avacado and Almond oil. Oils keep my hair shiny and my skin almost wrinkle free. |

I like Dremu but do not care for the expensive price tag. I use clear emu oil from LB Processors called country devine. Both of these oils do not have that pungent greasy odor because they are triple refined! |

| Emu would probably be my all time fav if I had to choose one, but I also like rosehip. Am currently testing out a few new ones, and am liking the kukui nut oil a lot. It seems to sink into the skin very nicely. |

My absolute fave at the moment is avocado, jojoba is probably still my prefered oil for OCM though. I am still on the fence about emu oil, it absorbs beautifully but the smell is a bit off  . I will have to try some of the triple-refined brands mentioned.
I have combination skin. |

| Is it an issue to anyone that emu comes from an animal? |

Yes it was for me....but then I found out that the animals are farmed for their meat. The oil is a by-product. I guess I can live with that.

Yes! Just because emus are already farmed for their meat does not make me feel any more eager to support killing these birds.
Another oil that should be avoided is squalane oil. Do people realize that this oil is made from the sharks' liver? I cannot feel attractive and good about myself knowing that I am killing innocent creatures in hopes of having smoother skin. Not to mention, people with allergies to fish products will not fare well using squalane oil.
Great alternatives to these snake oils are: camelia oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil, rosehip oil, grapeseed oil, walnut oil, olive oil........ |

| Love the camelia oil and emu oil...I used the Dremu...I just ordered the avocado oil and can't wait to use it. I typically have combo skin, prone to break-outs |
