Hi Amy,



Can't say enough about Purple Emu's Super-rich Moisturizer.   I haven't been

able to use any store-bought type moisturizers in years due to sensitivity.  

Had been using mostly jojoba oil, coconut oil, almond oil straight and also

mixed in my own concoctions with a base of zinc oxide.   They didn't work the

way I would have liked as moisturizers but they helped and I could tolerate them

on my skin.   I was thrilled when I took the plunge and ordered from Purple Emu.

I have been using this moisturizer since November and I love it to pieces!



Take care and Happy New Year,

Elena

Hello: @ the end of last year i inquired online here about several

posts that mentioned a solution equiv. results  as EMU oil - well, I

thought it up, of course, after ordering 1 oz. EMU & Vit. E (sale for

4 bucks online); and now, recalling, it is MINERAL OIL...



anyone have anything to add about using OTC - Mineral Oil? I haven't

tried it but washing my face daily is too harsh (3 times I mean); but

I've only seen it on sale in larger quantities...

ok, thanks.

Hello, I have yet to catch up with the posts on this board, so I'm

coming in on the tail-end of this thread.....but, one of my favorite

companies does make an alternative for Emu Oil; in fact, it's called

Emulator Oil. I'm not quite sure what you wanted to use it for, but I

use a drop on a damp face (cheeks, actually), then mix a drop or two

into my moisturizer.  My face and neck love it, but my chest breaks out

from it.  Just an FYI.

I find that straight Emu oil is great. It's a little pricey, (about $6

per ounce) but a little goes a very long way. I got it at my local

health food store.

This brand is called 'Thunder Ridge Emu Products'

(www.ThunderRidgeEmu.com).



I like it b/c it's not so greasy that it makes me break out in actual

acne pimples.



good luck,



Laura

Amy;

       Regarding night moisturizers: I'm using my last tube of Cetaphil without

sunscreen: It's great for my skin, esp in Winter. I've been thinking of trying

the Clinique cream, without the steroid: not "urgent-care"

        Be vigilant out there and Happy New year to all.

I've been having good luck with the Dermarest psoriasis-formula

moisturizer with salicylic acid;  it has a slight fragrance of roses

... does contain parabens for those sensitive to those, it NEEDS it

because there are several botanical oils in it which would go rancid

without preservatives



Candy



(Dermarest's rosacea formulations all seem to contain alcohol !  go figure ... )

I've been having a lot of luck with Vanicream. It is not too expensive

and has been the least offending moisturizer I've encountered. It is

designed for those w/ sensitive skin and does not contain any dyes,

fragrance, parabens, etc. I also use their sunscreen, but am not as

crazy about it as I am about the moisturizer. I've found it at my

university pharmacy and at Walgreens.



Their web site has more info on the product: http://www.psico.com/

Vanicream is wonderful on my rosacea skin. I was using the Vanicream

Lite Lotion, and just switched to the Vanicream Moisturizing Skin

Cream. The Cream is thicker and moisturizes my skin better. So, I'd

say the lite lotion version is good for oily skin and the cream

version is good for dry skin.



Cheers!

Also, I think the same company makes "Free and Clear" shampoo, which

I also use.



Here's a little tip if you have a hard time finding a rosacea-

friendly conditioner for your hair:



I don't like using conditioners because they leave a residue and are

often fragranced, which can rub off onto my ultra sensitive skin. So,

I tend to just use the Free and Clear Shampoo mixed with a little oil

to help soften my hair. This works pretty well, but it still leaves

my hair static-prone.



Recently I tried mixing a palm full of the free and clear shampoo

with a little of the Vanicream Lite Lotion (I keep one in the shower,

so it was convenient) instead of oil. It works a lot better and I've

been doing this regularly now. It rinses out very well and my hair is

soft and shiny with no static and no worries about anything

irritating getting onto my skin. Yay!



So, for me, this mixture serves as a shampoo & conditioner in one.



After all that raving, I should say that I am not affiliated with

Vanicream at all. Just a happy customer :)



Cheers!

I'm glad that you cleared that up because I had bought and tried the Vanicream

lite lotion and although I found it nice, it wasn't enough for my dry skin. I'm

going to look for the cream now instead and give that a try.  Thanks for the

heads up !

I wish I had tried it months ago. I started using the Vanicream Lite

three times a day instead of switching to the thicker version. I

assumed it would have different ingredients, but it doesn't! Yay! So,

now I am great just using the thicker version twice a day.
