my skin looks improved but buyers should be aware second ingredient is emu oil [SEP] a friend recommended this product when my skin was dry and irritated it seems to be helping my skin and i definitely have not had any irritation in response to it the product has a slightly unusual botanical smell but it is fairly pleasant and not overly strong however i did not read the ingredients list until after i had been using it for a while the second ingredient is emu oil i am not crazy about using a beauty product that is made directly from an animal i will probably try something else next time
