Seems good so far
Been using the bio oil for a few weeks. Yes it has caused me to have a few breakouts but the discolouration of my skin from old acne scars has much improved! Personally I think the extra spots are worth the benefits. After about a week or two it didn't seem to upset my skin as much! I'll continue to use it for the recommended minimum of three months as it has given me back some confidence with a bare face! Don't knock it until you give it a decent chance. Any new products can unbalance your skin to start. Give it at least a month guys!

does it work for pitted acne scar?
August 18, 2010

Pros:

Almost compleatly healed all my acne scars
smells pleasant
small amount goes a long way

Cons:

oil wreaks your pillow at night!
Expensive - but worth it :-)

I used to get terrible breakouts all around my mouth, especially on my chin and so was left with some hideous red marks. I put this on at night for a few weeks and already the redness has almost totally faded! Im delighted as its the 1st thing thats worked for me so far after trying Aloe, Vitamin E, agnus castus drops etc. I would highly recommend. I was worried because I have oily skin already and thought this was going to be too heavy but im really happy. Everyones skin is different I suppose but deffo give it a try :-)

Pros:

I have acne marks on my face from when I was younger and I also have boil marks on my legs. I've been using this product for a week and I have seen alot of improvement!! I am so excited that this is working!! I will finally get to wear shorts again, I haven't worn them in years just because these marks were all over my legs. This is truly a miracle oil :) I just put on a couple of drops on my cheeks and on my legs and that's it.

Cons:

None in the time that I have been using it.

I love it! Recommend it to anyone who is having the same problem as me. I got my mom to use it and my sister is using it as well and they are seeing results. It smells good and easy to put on. My marks are barely noticeable from my boil marks and my cystic acne and it's only been about a week. I will keep on using it for the whole 3 months.

every day facial use
This oil is honestly what I use as my daily moisturizer. I love it, I dont break out but I do have scars from when I would break out... my scars are lighting up & im suddenly getting compliments on my glowing skin. I would recommend this product to anyone trying to get rid of scars. You just have to know how to use the product & let it work its magic.

Awesome product!!
I bought bio-oil and have been using it for about three weeks. I love the results People have asked me if I have change something with my skin care and say my skin looks so good. I use it every day on my face as moisture. My skin is so soft and becoming more even toned. I used it on my hubby's red areas after he shaves and they are gone within a few hours. I love this product! And will buy it on a routine bases for sure. I just wish I bought it years ago!!

Pros:

Great smell. A little goes a LONG way. Softens, moisturizes, and is fading my age spots (I'm 58) and facial scars. Inexpensive.

Cons:

Goes on oily at first. Don't overuse.

I was bitten in the face by a dog 2 months ago - got 14 stitches & 3 gashes. I asked my brother (a pharmacist) what he recommended for healing and he said Bio-Oil. Bought a small bottle at the drug store then saw a much better deal at Costco. I've been using is on the face, arms, elbows, knees, and hands and I'm loving this stuff. My skin has never been softer, my skin tone is evening out, and my scars are fading. I'm not surprised the check-out lady at Costco told me that the stuff is flying out of there!

Pros:

Light
Smells lovely
really moisturises
mixes well with moisturiser

Cons:

Expensive
you can use too much

I mix 1-2 drops mixed in with my day and night lotion and I love it. It stops my face from being dried out by the BP or Salicylic acid and I think it helps it sink in. It makes my skin so soft, has helped with the hyperpigmentation and has helped with redness and overall texture. I had a sunk in scar from a deep spot under my eye and I think the BioOil has helped it start to fill in and heal. Highly recommended. If you don't like it on your face then use it mixed in with your body moisturiser and it'll leave your skin so soft.

Pros:

cleared up redness
no further zits
cheap
moisturizing
smells yummy

I don't have bad acne at all but I tend to panic when I have clogged pores and pick at them, leaving nasty red marks and sometimes scabs. Recently I made a mess out of my face and out of panic I thought I would try bio oil. I went to Walmart and discovered they have their own brand for $11/120 mil (half the price of the real stuff). By the next morning the red spots were almost completely gone! From experience I know it usually takes at least a week for them to heal. So far it hasn't made any new blemishes, but you gotta remember all skin is different. Even though it is oil, its oil that can trap dirt in pores, not oil that causes the actually problem. Also some oils prevent blemishes on their own (ie tea tree oil) because they have anti bacterial properties that clean out the pores. All in all I would say its working for me, but you have to try it for youself!

Pros:

It works.
not as oily as other oils, eg vit e
smells nice.
cheap

Cons:

none.

you dont seem to see results until maybe 2 or 3 weeks, so you have to be patient and consistently use it. some people say it makes them break out, but it didnt for me. i used it around three times a day, and not only did it help with my scars, it helps with dented scars, so id definitely recommend it.

Pros:

I was putting away my chef knife when it slipped out of my hand and I tried to caltch it with my other hand. The blade ended up slicing my index finger and I needed 4 stitches. Yesterday, I started putting on the Bio-Oil and all I can say is WOW. In less than 24 hours it has eliminated most of the redness and my skin color is 10% back to normal. For scars, this is truely a miracle oil.

Cons:

I used to have nodular cystic acne, but now it is fairly mild. When I use the Bio-Oil on my face, I cannot use it everyday; otherwise it clogs my pores and breaks me out. If you have oily skin you should use it on your face only once or twice a week. Even with that minimal usage, it does make incredible improvements. You will need to experiment with it and see how it works best for you.

The thing to remember is THIS DOES WORK! I have used so many products on the market and this one, by far, lives up to what it says it does. It not only WORKS on scars, but it also works on wrinkles as well. It is worth the money and I reccommend it to everyone.
