Has anyone tried this line ???? Im very curious but would like to know if anyone out there uses this or has tried it. Is emu oil really that effective as an anti aging ingredient??

I, unfortunately, purchased the Deception cream, which did nothing for me but have a drying effect on my skin. Appropriate name. Regarding pure emu oil, triple refined, I've had positive results with this product. I order this from a business in the US, Longview Farms. I have dry skin, and found this oil to be extremely hydrating, and felt that it softened fine lines around my eyes and mouth. I used emu oil regularly on my entire face and neck during six months of professional laser resurfacing and microderm. I was also using the Obagi system and retin-A during this time, which increased redness, sensitivity and drying. Needless to say, my skin was a bit stressed! The emu oil felt soothing on my skin, and I believe that it helped the healing process.

Debra,
I was wondering the reason why you did laser resurfacing and microderm.I am using obagi and retin A for melasma.Now, in summer time even I use sunscreen 60 SPF,I still have brown spots.I have to cover them with makeup.Are not as bad as before but I can see them for sure.I was thinking to go for laser but I am worried about the results.
Can you tell me more about your results and how much money you need.
Thanks
Doinita

I bought a bunch of products a couple years back and couldn't stand the smell! More recently Deception did nothing for me either. Crying or Very sad

Hi Donita,

I had the laser/microderm sessions after seeing the results of a friend. She went to a well-known, popular ob-gyn practice that offered these services in their practice/offices. She had laser hair removal....bikini line and above lip, laser facial resurfacing for a few sun spots and fine lines and miroderm abrasion. I had a consultation and felt very comfortable with the specialist, the equipment and the predicted results, and signed up for a rather large package of six treatments each, laser and microderm. I have freckles, which don't bother me, but wanted to eliminate some of the darker areas that will eventually turn into ugly age spots and really become pronounced years from now. I also wanted to decrease some fine lines around my eye area, forehead and mouth. This specialist also provides Obagi. The cost? I got a real good deal--a special they were running for one month only.....50% off the laser/microderm (12 treatment) combo, because I paid, in full, for the entire amount and because I purchsed the Obagi system, which I got at 30% off. The 12 laser and microderm sessions ended up costing me $750.00. The laser did bring up deeply imbedded freckles/discolorations to the surface and eliminated most. It also decreased and faded some fine lines. I think the combination laser and microderm helped the texture of my skin....maybe the Obagi as well. I'm very happy with the results and I would do it all over again. My skin did go through some periods of adjustment, but this never interfered with my life or anything. Also, because of my light skin, I did not experience any bruising, or terribly noticeable effects of the laser that people with darker skin experience. I have a few free sessions left that I have not used yet, for referring clients. I'm waiting until fall/winter to use those additional treatments.

For anyone thinking of doing this, it's important to go to someone who is experienced and licensed. I went to a professional whose skills and experience, in my opinion, would fit somewhere between a licensed medical aesthetician and an MD (derm.) I received first hand recommendations, and visual results of this professionals work.

Hope this information is helpful.

Are you referring to the Obagi Blender? The Obagi Blender product does stink! But I didn't notice any smell from any of the other products. And I continued to use the Blender, despite the smell, because it went away a minute or two after I applied it at night.

hi, no it wasn't Obagi, it was Dremu products, but this was a couple years ago so maybe they don't *stink* anymore.

I think emu oil does smell bad. If the product contains emu oil, it would probably stink.
