broke out so so badly
I've been on the pill for a month and half now and my skin has started to improve. I used bio oil to help with bad scarring. Within a day my skin broke out so badly ! It's like I've not been on the pill at all! I would say do a test on a small scar for a couple of days before putting it in your whole face like I did.

It's alright.
I used bio oil back in the day on my acne scars and they started to fade within about a week of use. Recently my skin has been going through a breakout period, but has finally cleared up and i've decided to go back onto bio oil to reduce the scarring. I've used it every night for about a week and a half and it hasn't really done much.. or maybe i haven't noticed a change. It also leaves my skin feeling oily, so i would only use this at night time. Also this product isn't known for working 100% for acne scars, mainly it has a high success rate for stretch marks so don't be surprised that it hasn't worked for you.

Do not try !!!
This is straight up mineral oil !!!! Clogs pores and does not work. Don't even try this it's not worth it.

Pros:

Absorbs quickly, Smells nice, Moisturizes, Definitely improved appearance of skin

Cons:

Might have made me break out, but I have acne anyway...

Ever since becoming pregnant with my first child I have had acne. I had an acne problem in my teen years that was cured with Accutane, but it came back! Changed make up to Bare minerals which helped a little. Changed to the Clinique 3-step skincare treatment for oily/combo which helped a little more. I now use Bio-oil as the 3rd step instead of the dramatically different moisturizer. Every morning and every night. I totally think it works for evening out skin tone, but I've been having breakouts. But I was having them anyway. I'm not sure how it works, but it does warm my skin up when I rub it on, which I took to be one of the oils burning the skin? Not happy with the price, but I am going to try them out on my stretch marks since I have seen an improvement with my acne scarring.

Pros:

Moisturised skin well.
Lightened acne scars.

Cons:

Takes a long time to lighten.

It has worked on my acne scars and made my skin much smoother and plumper and moist especially during winter. It has stopped my breakouts from breaking out too. It depends on everybody's skin. Some oily skins cannot take it, whereas others can. Everybody is different.

Cons:

it claims to moisturize extremely dry skin . However, after 1 month of using it, there is no improvement. It doesn't get absorbed at all so it sticks to furniture, etc ...

I would not ever buy it again

Pros:

None

Cons:

Too greasy
Mineral Oil is first ingredient
Pore Clogging
Made me break out in tiny bumps

This crap made me break out in a group of tiny bumps on my chin, the sides of my nose, around my hairline and some on my forehead. I don't even get these little tiny bumps on the regular so I knew it was from this. They went away when I stopped using it. I don't recommend AT ALL.

Pros:

i know for a fact that it does reduce red marks or any type or scarring you may have

Cons:

it caused tiny break outs and is very oily

you really have to stick with it for a long time and not to over apply it, it has a breakthrough ingredient that does work if u use it religiously

Pros:

Cheap, long-lasting.

Cons:

Greasy, made me break out even more, didn't really see any results, also made my skin dry.

I tried Jojoba oil after this one which I was more happy with. Now I'm using a cream called Egyptian Magic which has helped in just three days! I'll write a review on it when I've used it longer. :)
