I tried mixing with emu oil, using emu oil before and after but SuperCOP 2x always balls up.

Yep, yep - balls up on me too.

I've been spritzing a wee bit of my hydrosol right b4 the emu it helps a bit.

Luckily, it's a PM treatment, so I'm not all that concerned about it, but it is yuckky, lol.

Thanks Candy - I wonder how it's supposed to work if it balls up?

Normally I would agree whole-heartedly - but in this case I KNOW the SC2X is working despite the balling as I can definitely feel it! I think in this case it's a matter of how much is begin absorbed, which might explain why no other CP's worked well for me. Idea

I rub it in by using another moisturiser on top. It's a terrible texture.

rjez -
here's the reply i posted at skin bio - hope it helps somewhat...
"I've been using the super cop (a cream formulation) for about 2 weeks now.
I was applying emu first, then the super cop w/ no problems.
the past two spplications, tho I noticed some balling up. I know it usually recommended when layering products that you wait (in the emu/copper case) about 10 mins or so for the first product to absorb somewhat before applying the second. well, 2 nights ago I applied my emu and waited close to an hour, then applied the copper - and it still balled up - particularly around my nose and temples!!
Last night I applied the copper first - waited about a half hour, then applied emu to my hands and patted it over.
this seemed to work for me- no balling up -

tonight, I'll try again with emu first - allow to dry a bit, then with a thin coating of copper on my hands - pat that in. remains to be seen if this'll work. I hope so. one of the things I enjoy about these two products is the versatility. I like being able to provide a gentler or more intense application.

hth"

Thanks! I'll definitely try waiting between emu oil and SuperCOP.

i just tried the alternative application above-
i put on emu, waited not even 10 mins
then
put the copper cream on my palms and patted (not rubbed)
it in.
no balling!

Did you use SuperCOP 2x? I've been using just a dab with my finger.

i was wondering if you were using the sc2x for spot treating.
if i was spot treating, i would do pretty much the same-
a short wait between emu and copper.
I think the key is pressing/patting (ETA: with finger tip if spot treating) as opposed to rubbing.

I'm using the super cop (cream) not the 2x.

Yeah - I spot treat with SuperCOP 2x and use SuperCP serum all over.

For some odd reason I had a reaction yesterday to my Skinactives DMAE serum (itched like crazy) so I didn't use copper. I'll try tonight.
