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.

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
