I was just watching tv, and this commercial appealed to me. It was about Bio-oil. The commercial was very stress marks affected oriented but it also mentioned that bio oil helps reduce scars. And as you all, i desperately want to rid myself of my bance and chest scars.

I did a search http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/skin-care/bio-oil/1010559/ and after reading, they say it isnt your 'say it works, but doesnt'.

anyway, have any of you tried it? Im gonna buy it and see if it works.

Hi, Peter. There was another topic about this not so long ago. I've used it on a scar that I had on my lip and it worked to reduce the size of it.

To be honest, I personally wouldn't put it on acne as it's kinda greasy and may cause your skin problems.

Ive found that Bio-Oil is good for dry skin, but I've only ever used it at night before going 2 bed coz it gets everywher! I wouldnt recommend putting it on during the daytime esp on the face as it looks greasy and its not 2 comfortable I've found...

I havn't seen it has made any noticable improvement to old scarring although it has had a small effect when put on 'non-active' acne that is about to scar, reducing redness.

Yep its £10 in the UK...where I live!

My friend swears by it. He said he put it on a scar and after ONE day the scar was less red and smaller. He told me he was gonna start using it for his acne scars.
