I have relatively sensitive skin, and some products make me break out badly on my cheeks. I was also a picker and had minor scarring and redness all over the place. Bio Oil (also used in conjunction with Lush skincare products) made an amazing difference to my skin after 2 weeks of use. I highly recommend this for people with mild to moderate acne caused more by hormone fluctuation than skin care issues.

Pros

  • Makes skin glow
  • Improves skin tone previously ruined from picking at spots
  • Helps nasty pimples heal faster

Cons

  • None
  • moderate
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 12
  • I recommend using this treatment.

MY HANDS AND FACE SWELLED SEVERELY, AND MY EYES SWELLED SHUT

(AND I WAS USING BIO-OIL ON MY LEG ONLY)

I had huge, itchy, sore red welts for three days, I was in AGONY

I will NEVER use this product nor recommend Bio-oil to anyone again, I thought I was going to die, and needed hospital treatment

Pros

  • It worked for a little while, I applied it as directed, for three weeks and the SCAR, WHICH IS ON MY LEG improved a lot.

Cons

  • I suddenly had a TERRIBLE, severe allergic reaction, after applying bio-oil twice a day for three weeks
  • very light
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 20
  • I do not recommend using this treatment.

Pros

  • Smells nice
  • Can be applied to any scar
  • Moisturizes face
  • Effective

Cons

  • Comes out pretty fast so watch out!
  • moderate
  • for a day or two
  • $ 20
  • I recommend using this treatment.

A miracle in a bottle!! But it today!

Pros

  • It got rid of melamasma that I had on my face for 5 years in a week! I use on chest neck
  • And shoulders where I usually break out and it has cleared that up as well in two weeks. It also has reduced freckles and sun spots on my face in 2 weeks. I would say this is a miracle oil and everyone needs to buy it!!! I tried so many other products and I am so happy to find this one.

Cons

  • It is a little oily but I only use at night.
  • moderate
  • for a few weeks

So I got this for the scar on my neck. I had a birthmark, but I got it cut off, and the stitches left me a big dark scar. I tried Bio oil, and it works very well. It makes my neck very soft, smells great, and takes tthe scars appearance away. My only complaint is that the bottle lets a lot out, and I accidentally poured quite a bit all over me :p

Pros

  • Softens skin
  • Works
  • Smells good

Cons

  • Container lets too much out at once
  • very light
  • for about a month
  • $ 9.95
  • I recommend using this treatment.

We bought a two pack bio oil at COSTCO #548656 when my wife got it home she found it was impossible to open scissors did not work so she had to use a knife and cut herself in the process. The packaging of this product is ridiculous and and not worth the effort to open it. Its too bad that this is the best they can do. Definitely do not care about their customers for it is not customer friendly. Recommend you look for something more customer friendly!!! I plan to return it to COSTCO.

Pros

  • none

Cons

  • see below
  • very light
  • for a day or two
  • I do not recommend using this treatment.

it works a little for me although the results are shown really slowly. i tried to apply it on my acne, and it does reduce the redness. i have got a lot of dark acne scars on my cheeks and forehead. bio-oil does help a little by making them less noticeable. i still have breakouts, but maybe it was because of puberty. i strongly recommend bio-oil. (:

Pros

  • does lighten acne scars by a bit.
  • help to reduce redness of acne

Cons

  • too greasy
  • severe
  • for about a week
  • $ 15.5
  • I recommend using this treatment.

Before bio-oil, I had several problems:

My t-zone was excessively oily

My chin area and cheeks were dry and flaky

Every time I went to take a nap, I'd wake up with several white heads each time

After I'd wash and exfoliate my face, my face would be red and my chin area would be especially irritated

My skin would not absorb most moisturizers, I believe the cause of my daily white heads were my moisturizers

After bio-oil:

The first time I used bio-oil, I noticed a difference. It wasn't a significant difference, however, I just noticed how soft my face was. After the first time I used bio-oil, I went to take a nap and I woke to normal, whitehead free skin. Normal meaning there was no excessive oil, nor was there any dryness. I also noticed there was no redness like there usually was.

I've been using bio-oil for a month now and I have to say it has helped with my acne. It wasn't, however, the only thing that combated my acne. I think the thing that helped was thorough exfoliation, which I used a neutrogena cleanser for, which helped with the dead skin. Bio-oil helped regulate my skin's oil, which helped my acne. I credit both the neutrogena and bio-oil for improving my skin.

I've used everything from proactive to every brand name cleanser available, nothing has worked as well as bio-oil has. I'm very, very grateful for it.

Here is a list of improvements bio-oil has done:

Normal skin, ie no flakiness on the cheeks/chin area and no oily t-zone.

No redness or irritation, my problem areas were around my nose, cheeks, and chin. I wake up to clear skin each day.

My chin and cheeks have been prone to acne before bio-oil. No acne flare ups since.

I had a large group of small blemishes on my cheeks. They have greatly improved.

my regimen:

massage face with warm water to open pores

apply Neutrogena acne stress control cream wash generously to face then wash off

once skin is damp (n

Pros

  • reduced redness
  • hydrated my skin
  • regulated oil
  • felt great on my face
  • evened out skin tone
  • cleared blemishes
  • helped with acne

Cons

  • none
  • moderate
  • for about a month
  • $ 20
  • I recommend using this treatment.

you dont seem to see results until maybe 2 or 3 weeks, so you have to be patient and consistently use it. some people say it makes them break out, but it didnt for me. i used it around three times a day, and not only did it help with my scars, it helps with dented scars, so id definitely recommend it.

Pros

  • It works.
  • not as oily as other oils, eg vit e
  • smells nice.
  • cheap

Cons

  • none.
  • moderate
  • for about a month
  • $ 10
  • I recommend using this treatment.
