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} I KNOW BIO-OIL SOUNDS LIKE GREASE BUT TO OILY SKIN IT PROBABLY WOULD DO. I HAVE COMBINATION SO MY SKIN TOLLERATES IT WELL.I USED IT AGAIN LAST NIGHT AND MY SKIN LOOKED A LITTLE BETTER THAN THE DAY BEFORE,SO ITS EARLY DAYS AND IT FEELS NICE AND SUPPLE,IF YOU HAVE DRY AND COMBINATION SKIN THEN THIS WOULD BE IDEAL.SORRY THIS IS LONG,BUT I JUST WANTED TO WARN PEOPLE NOT TO LEAVE G .A ON YOUR FACE FOR TOO LONG AS IT REALLY CAN DRY OUT ALL YOUR NATURAL OILS IN YOUR SKIN OUT LOL SBEL

Thanks for sharing your experiences with bio oil - I too have found it an effective product for reducing redness and controlling oiliness.

What's this stuff do to active acne? Anyone know?
While I am always looking for a good moisturizer to clear up the red marks... I don't want anything that will make my acne worse and give me breakouts.
Anyone have any experience using this on active acne?
Thanks.

I am v new to this website and I like the info it has provided defo gonna try the regime...... have been using bio-oil for a few months on and off, have found that it does help with the red marks and overall look of the skin but I find that using everyday seems to make active acne worse and also that it brought out acne on my forehead that was v rare before. So I try to avoid the forehead area and am in a routine of using it for 2 days and then give it a a rest for 2 or 3 days and I notice the effects, I'm still in the trial period with this product so fingers crossed but so far so good.........

I'm quiet happy with it and it's gr8 value for money - lasts ages!!!!!!!!!

Been using this for only 2days now and its cleared up over 50% of my acne, best thing is im not breaking out anymore. Love the stuff, also seems to be lightening my skin tone when i apply it... =D

hi

is this bio oil the same as rose hip oil? they sound similiar to me.
i just bought a bottle of the rose hip oil for my red marks, have been using it for a few days, but it is so expensive unlike this bio oil.

hi yvony

how long have u been using? does it really help acne scars?

im using my own set of skin care but supplement with the oil and the vital repair cream, not sure it that will hinder the healing. i only use at night instead of twice a day as recommended cos i find it a little too oily. u used twice a day?

[Yvony]

i finished my vital repair and rosa mosqueta already and scar improved significantly. i encourage you to use twice a day, you need to massage this in properly. but remember to use a good cleanser too, thats very very important. i switched from rosa mosqueta cleanser to naturalis purifying cleanser and using skin blemish treatment too for my blemishes and pigmentation problem.
my blemishes and pigmentation are looking good and my next goal will be the wrinkles around eyes and cheek (smile lines) .

I found Bio Oil while spending three months in New Zealand last year. I had been careless with protecting the skin on my chest and was horrified to see wrinkly furrows appearing. I live in Alaska, so it's easy for me to overdo sun exposure when I travel.

I've used Bio Oil at least at night, and in the morning when I remember. It seems important to apply it sparingly and to gently rub it in to make sure it absorbs well. After several weeks, it had a noticeable effect on little wrinkles on my face and chest, on a brown spot on my jawline, and on reducing irritation from Retin-A and the Zo-Derm my dermatologist prescribed. It lasts a long time. It may not be a miracle solution for acne scars, but it really seems to help with skin tone, unevenness and wrinkles in general without exacerbating my acne. If nothing else, try it on the thin skin around your eyes, on your upper lip, and on your chest if you've gotten too much sun in your life. (It's incredibly annoying to have middle-aged wrinkles AND acne.) I just ordered more.

Thanks for all the helpful comments on this site, and sorry for the long post!

i just purchased bio oil..
on way back from store i put it on few scars
and came back home looked at the mirror and the scars are gone !!

im gonna use this bio oil in myhonda engine too..just as an additive

i hve some engine leaks lately hopefully it will fix them..'
iwas ust kidding abt the scar thing...

the universal law of physics is ucan only trade equal value things in nature
for instance energy can be traded for mass but only in equal proportions

similarly scars are very annoying and they cost a lot
so bio oil worth 15$ cant trade scars lol
