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.

Pros:

Good moisturizer
Smooth skin

Cons:

Oily
Caused some mild breakouts
caused more ACNE SCARS on places I didn't have acne before.
did not fade scars, minimal if any

Would not recommend using on face as it caused more scars. Horrible product , regret using it

Pros:

cute little bottle and at first rather cheap.

Cons:

After investigation of the the formulation no wonder why it is cheap.
Cancer causing ingredient part of this product and the only skin healing properties ingredients are from flowers extracts or oils.

You get what you pay for... it is cheap and nasty, I actually find a natural oil with no fillers, all 100% active ingredients. it is called Tamanu oil, lots of independent scientific research, not just a panel of a few people... I have not looked back since fro my acne, now I use it as my anti wrinkle cream, face moisturiser, on any cuts, wounds, bruising and great after sun exposure, plus it has a natural SPF of 16-22. There is a real quality product that is well worth buying.
