Pros:

I love the way it smells, it absorbs well.
Got it for $5 with a coupon.

Cons:

Doesn't do a thing! Gave me breakouts on the side of my face, I also have two dry patches from it on my forehead, and one on my left cheek.

So I got this about a week ago and I apply it twice a day. It only made me breakout, and dried my skin out (even though I have oily skin). Doesn't do a thing for scars. It might be causing more breakouts because my skin is oily by nature, so applying more oil might cause more acne...who knows. I'll keep using it but now only once a day and we'll see what'll happen. Try it out...won't hurt you!

Pros:

Smells Nice, Fast Acting, Evens Out Skin Tone quickly, Reduces the apperance of scars nicely

Cons:

Causes Acne & spots

If your young and have active acne i reccomend that you do not use it for too long or too much. I Had a small amount of acne that was under control but now its caused a breakout. But I highly reccoment that you use this for scars because i used it for about a day or two and it rapidly faded them :)

Pros:

None worth the toll.

Cons:

Mineral oil is the FIRST ingredient. Leeches essentially nutrients from your body. Any "positive" results are cancelled out by the negative composition.

Nope.

Pros:

Moisturizes well
Smells good

Cons:

Doesn't fade blemishes

Bio oil does not work as well as it claims to. It is quite oily and moisturizes the face pretty well, but I did not see an improvement in scar fading at all.

Pros:

Nice fresh scent, does not stain clothes, a little application goes a long way to make skin smooth.

Cons:

Expensive and does not prevent stretch marks during pregnancy. Only acts as a moisturizer.

I am 32, I bought and begun applying Bio Oil from my first month of pregnancy and used through my delivery (and 4 weeks post delivery). I applied Bio Oil to my hips, thighs, breasts and stomach religiously 3+ times per day as I kept a bottle at work, at home and in my car for constant application. Despite the consistent application to my skin, stretch marks appeared and remained after my pregnancy. This was my first pregnancy and I did not mind the expense of purchasing a large amount of Bio Oil as I thought it would aid in avoiding me developing stretch marks. My advise is do not waste your money if you are looking to use as a preventative for stretch marks. Rather, use any type of moisturizing cream as I am living proof stretch marks are genetic. I am small framed and only gained 25 pounds with this 1st pregnancy.

Pros:

Moisturize
No breakouts

Cons:

uneven skin tone

I was using bio oil for the past 8 months. Although it kept my face moisturized and didnt cause any acne, my face got darker and had to use foundation all the time. I didnt see any noticeable differences and I stopped using this product a couple of weeks ago. Once I stopped using it, I started regaining my natural complexion.

Pros:

It smells really nice, and it seems to be working.

Cons:

After using it for a week, i forgot to put it on one night and i broke out in a tiny rash on my face.

Should try it, its a bit oily but just rub it in. Don't forget to use it cause it might break you out if you dont. And remember good things take time, a month of using it is not going to remove scares that have been there your whole life!

Pros:

probably increases hydration

Cons:

Oil seems to sit on skin surface; not as easily absorbed as Vitamin E oil or grapeseed

I used this product for the life of the bottle (approx 2 months for once daily all-over facial application) and did not notice any change in skin texture, quality nor acne scar improvement. I have fair asian skin/irish skin.

Pros:

Gives a really nice glow to your face
Does actually work acne scars are heavily reduced

Cons:

Takes YEARS to rub in, dont go out without rubbing it all in
Face looks slightly greasy but disolves after a while

Only use after your acne has gone (red spots) its ONLY for scars not to reduce acne, If you got scars it going to make it worse and worse As for stretch marks it didnt really work with me, well after 3months i saw very little difference but for scars it works a charm

Pros:

Nice scent

Cons:

First this item is expensive. Secondly, my face was covered in pimples, especially in areas where I rarely got acne. Not only did bio-oil give me breakouts with every use but now, I am left with acne scars! My chin area is especially covered with the scars that bio oil gave me. It has been 2 months since I stopped using the product and I'm left with dark acne scars that look hideous.
This is absolutely the worst product to use if you are trying to rid your adult acne.

Don't use this product if you are prone to breakouts. Bio oil leaves you with nothing but more acne and acne scars. I now have to wait 3-4 months before the scars fade completely.
