Pros:

Lightens scars. Smells nice. Cleared my skin. Helped my uneven skin tone. Worked fairly fast on my skin.

Cons:

Takes a long time for the Bio-Oil to soak into skin, even after it's rubbed in.

I have only used this product for 3 weeks (on my face; acne scars) and already the dark spots I had are fading into nothing, and it no longer looks like I have a whole bunch of acne. I am extremely happy with this product, thanks to it, I no longer need foundation!

Pros:

Evened out skin tone quickly,
Old scares seem to fade

Cons:

Have noticed darkening of pores,
Also have small small bumps forming on chin like everyone else,
Since I have oily skin I have to put on at night

I have only been using this product for about two weeks now. I know it takes longer to fully start working, but I can tell a difference already. For anyone concerned about the darker pores and small bumps, do not put on oily spots. Your chin, nose, and center forehead has the most oil produced on your entire face. So, I would not recommend putting it on those places. My cheeks have really bad scares, and they are super red. With this product, they have reduced greatly. Have not had a single pimple, even after only two weeks!!! (Got mine from Ultra, can get it online at [link removed])

Pros:

made my skin look as radiant as it was when i was a teenager. my skin is so smooth and soft even after only 3 days of usage. has evened out my skin tone.

Cons:

none

would recommend this product to anyone who wants to fade away any exisiting light facial scars. besides taking care of scars, you'd be amazed at how much younger you will look after even only a couple days of usage.

Pros:

Easy to use. Skin glows and feels soft. A little goes a long way. Non-greasy.

Cons:

Scent takes time to get used to. Reminds me of bath oil.

I purchased Bio Oil because I needed something that would give me deep down penetrating moisture...rather than a lotion that just sits on top of the skin. I found the 4oz size on E Bay for twenty dollars with free shipping. It's been about a week and I am pleased with the results so far. My sun-damaged, crepe looking skin looks much better. The scent eventually dissapates.

May help clear red marks after acne.. but I believe it does clog pores.

Pros:

Good scar treatment

Cons:

Pore clogging
Greasy
Expensive

As far as scar treatment goes, I believe this could help a significant amount.. but you have to be careful using on your face with acne prone skin.. it is an oil.. and very well could clog pores.

Sh*t product!

Pros:

Helps with grazes and scars ONLY ON THE BODY

Cons:

Sh*t product for scars on the face
Long term oily skin
Hard to wash off your face

My skin has been flawless ever since I applied this on my face for a cut, after applying this on my face for 2 - 4 days I started getting terrible acne and the amount of oil on my skin would never go away! My confidence went away, I couldn't see any girls for a few weeks it took me 3 weeks straight to clear off all the acne! now I have scars that will take 4 - 6 weeks to completely heal! I am running a cycle of accutane for 6 months now because of the oil levels this created! but on the other hand the only thing this helps with is grazes and scars on the body don't apply this on your face!

Pros:

I have noticed great improvement with my acne and my lingering stretch marks from my son. I was a bit skeptical about putting Bio-oil on my face because I have very sensitive skin, but after the first application I already noticed that my skin looked fresher and more even. As far as my stretch marks go, it has only been 3 1/2 weeks using Bio-oil and they are already disappearing.

Cons:

The package is very small. I have to buy a new bottle every 2 weeks and it would be nice if I only had to buy a bottle once a month.

This is a great product and I would recommend it to all my friends, in fact I already have. Thanks Bio-oil!

Pros:

Cheap. Usually highly recommended for certain types of scar, but not necessarily for acne (see my comment below).

Cons:

But worsened my acne!

Note that you can find some pure Vitamin E oil, instead of using Bio-Oil which contains some flagrance. I had some nasty acne scars on my cheeks. However it seems like the oil just caused more breakouts, so it made things worse! Instead, I then avoided any oily-lotion and used the "M2 Skin Refinisher" (ex Mama) lotion, with much success!

Its good but should work faster on the skin. It has faded my acne scars but they are still there therefore still got to use make up! =|
