Pros:

None

Cons:

Broke my skin out severely.
A bit expensive.
Not much product in bottle.

I bought this product after being told it would help to reduce acne scars. I had been clear from acne for three years but had acne scaring. I used this product for about a week and experienced a very bad breakout which shattered my confidence. It even caused cystic acne. It took a good few months for my skin to become clear again. I think I will leave acne scars alone for now! worst product I've ever bought.

Pros:

used to be okay when i didnt have acne. good for dry skin

Cons:

spots everywhere after i used it at night a family of spots moved in on my cheeks, chin =(

I used to use bio oil when i did'nt have acne just for the sakes of for smoother and soft skin it was okay. i started to get break outs when i was 21 on my forehead only sometimes little sometimes alot. So with acne you will get some scaring. So I used bio oil at night before bed to try get rid of some scarring. Wow the next day I had spots everywhere on my face. I cried when i saw my face cause I could'nt believe how bad it went just by using it for one night. Since then I have been trying to control the acne and not having any luck. Now its not just the forehead its the cheeks and chin, it's so painful. Maybe it triggered something in my skin after using it to cause so much acne I'm not too sure but since that night I havent ever dared touch it again. I done this at 21, I'm almost 24 now and still trying to find the right thing to control the acne.

Pros:

makes skin soft, has evened out skin tone, hydrates, doesn't make skin oily after it's completely absorbed.

Cons:

none so far

great! great! great! i have combination skin, so while my t-zone stayed oily looking i still had dry flakes, with bio-oil i have none of those flakes and my makeup stays looking great all day, i've even started using less makeup, as it goes on smoother and i don't feel like i have to use a buttload of powder to soak up the oil in my t-zone because i think bio-oil hydrates enough that my skin doesn't produce more oil.

Pros:

Bio oil gives you soft skin after a few weeks. Clears your acne scars after a few weeks. It works for strech marks but you have to be extremely patient. It nourishes your skin anywhere and gives it a soft natural glow.

Cons:

Patience is nessesary.

Bottom line I think bio oil is a great product and I do recommend it to anyone no matter how bad your skin is. Bio oil will work but in time. Don't give up on it right away cause the results are great.

Not a good option

I tried Bio Oil for dark spots on my torso and seemed to work OK. I mean, I didn't expect much for its price, but then I tried it on my face and I instantly had a breakout. So maybe don't use for your acne scars.

If you're acne prone then Bio Oil will probably generate a breakout. You can instead try various essential oils, which are very light and volatile. They're also pretty strong, so you must use them with a carrier oil such as almond oil, argan oil, Neem oil, calendula oil or hemp oil if you have a rather delicate skin. Lavander essential oil is widely known for its anti-acne properties. Tea tree essential oil is a great antibiotic and antiseptic. Lemon essential oil works great for dark spots and scars, but be careful and use sunscreen when using this one.

If you have problems with acne scars I recommend applying Mederma. It's clinically proven and works miracles for fresher scars.

Works but makes me break out

I used this oil religiously everyday for two months and i can honestly tell you that it does work when fighting hyper-pigmentation. the only problem is that the oil clogs my pores and causes me to break out resulting in more hyper-pigmentation.

it’s okay

I bought this because people said it was their holy grail for acne scars. I have some active acne in between my eyebrows and on my nose but other than that I have acne scars all over my forehead. I usually run it al over my face at night and in the morning I put a thin layer just on my forehead. Ever since I started using it I’ve noticed a lot more tiny bumps on my fore head and my acne scars haven’t changed

Good for Skin That Doesn't Have Active Acne
I think the problem many people have with this product is that they're using it over active breakouts. The directions say not to use over broken skin. However, as someone who has dealt with cystic acne for many years with very sensitive, very oily skin, this product was great for removing hyperpigmentation. **However**, I waited until after my active acne was cleared up through use of other products before using this one. Don't be scared of using oil on top of your oily skin, I found that it helped me obtain more balanced skin. I also only used this product before bed, after I already cleansed and moisturized. Overall, great product that helped me remove hyperpigmentation and hydrated my rolling acne scars making them less visible.

Breakout warning
I've clear skin already, just wanna reduce some acne scars and my face is very dry, so i bought this, it is works since i notice in the third month, my acne scars fade away and a little bit smooth (just a little bit), but then in the third month also broke me out so badly, i have 2 big acne in just one night, then i still using it, until i have 4 big acne and it hurt so much, so bumpy. Then i have 8 not really big-acne. The big acne now leave a really bad spot T,T and the 8 not really big-acne still in my face and it is so hard to get rid of it!
