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.

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:

The product proves the claims. (to certain extend)

Cons:

no SPF protection.

I am here to update the progress. It seems like this product tend to be effective. I have been using it for almost a month and my red marks are gradually decresing. However, I don't see how this product works for those permanant scars. I will be keep on updating after three month of usage, as how it claims.

Pros:

Best subtitues for moisturizers!

Cons:

not nice looking..(which may be a cons that brought down overall cost)

i originally brought it for clearing my acne scars. On the first tought, like all of you, this product may be too gleasy for oily skin. In fact, it's not. I've been using a lot of moisturizers claims that oil-free, suitable for all skin. However, whenever I step under the sun (my country is forever summer), my skin feels greasy. This oil really solves my problem! Anyway, the effectiveness of clearing the scars is still under debate cause i am only using it for one week. Will update after the one cycle of the skin renew.( 28 days)

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:

It make my skin feel really soft and mosterised especsially after harsh cleansing products that dry me out.

Cons:

a bit too oily for very oily skin. takes ages to notice a difference

its a nic eproduct but it probebly doesn't work as well for scars as vitimin E. i only use this because the Vitimin E i have is very very thick. i mix this in with pure tea tree oil and it helps with acne. amazing for applying fondation over.

Pros:

Moisturizes without clogging pores. Reduces shine on forehead. Makes my skin feel smooth and soft. Makes my complexion rosy. Works really well under mineral makeup. Great for men and women as there's no overpowering aroma. Reasonably priced.

Cons:

none. maybe b/c it's an oil people think it will clog pores, it totally doesn't. i've tried a ton of other "face oils" that all have clogged my pores in the past...but this one doesn't

Try this for a week. My mom originally bought this for my stretch marks and it seems to really moisturize my skin well, so when i started using retin-a and my skin got really dry and flakey, i thought, why not try this. i first only used it before i'd go to the gym, which is where i first noticed that it took away the shine that i usually have on my forehead (after rubbing it in of course). But then i also noticed my skin started glowing a little more and the zit scars that usually take a week to two to go away (while using retin a) would peel off quicker with the bio oil. So, then i started using it in the mornings under my mineral makeup and it helped the makeup to glide on smoothly. I've been using it now for a month and I'm quite satisfied. I use it day/night/before the gym...after a facial steam. i rub it into zits and it seems to help them disappear too!!!! I recommend everyone to at least TRY IT! it's only $13.

Pros:

Decent but oily moisturizer.

Cons:

Didn't seem to help with scars much or at all; did absolutely nothing for stretch marks. Likely caused pimples too.

I have old persistant scars on my back from acne and stretch marks on my shoulders from teenage growth spurts, so I thought Bio-oil might be a good cheap solution. I used it on my back and shoulders three times a day for a month, careful to rub it into the skin like the directions said. I also used it on a few persistant acne scars on my face. After a month, the oil MAY have lightened my bacne scars a little bit, but did nothing for my stretch marks or facial scars. It also was likely responsible for the new pimples on my back, since I hadn't had any there for about six months prior to using the oil.
