Emu oil has been found to be an effective treatment for acne. This gentle exotic oil is gentle on the skin, and helps maintain the moisture balance in the skin. Pure emu oil can be used for inflammation, one of the primary causes of acne. Emu oil is non-comedogenic, which means that it will not clog the pores, and this allows the skin to breathe.
