AMAZING!
I love this product as it helps keep my skin feel soft and look refreshing, although i recommend that it may not be suitable for all skin types. I use it as a night-time moisturizer and primer for my face to lighten up my face.

Worst breakouts! AVOID!!
I suffer from mainly acne scars more than I do acne so I decided to purchase this product after hearing about what it can do to acne scars and this is probably the worst product I have bought throughout my life. I have purchased other products and I have never had this experience. The products either work or they don't! Simple as. I did not really understand at first why I was breaking out. I wasn't eating as much junk, my diet hadn't really changed either so I was unsure to what the reason was for my acne to suddenly flare up. I have only had this bio oil for about 1/2 weeks and I used this product every night before I went to sleep. My acne has recently flare up from the past week or so. I have never had so many spots on my left cheek until today. I am assuming this is what's caused the breakout and I don't want to risk using this any longer to see whether or not if that's the case. I would avoid this at all costs and try something else. I have changed my routine to using cetaphil cleaner, benzyl peroxide 5% and cetaphil lotion, hoping this work as this is cheap and has good reviews. AVOID at all costs!!

Pros:

worked quickly, helped fade dark spots on back of hands, makes skin look satiny.

Cons:

cost, easy to put on too much

this stuff is amazing! I'm 60 and just lost 20 lbs so I was looking for something to help my flabby skin look better. Bio Oil has actually reduced the 'elephant knees' and loose skin on my inner thighs. Really didn't expect the good results that I got after just two weeks. Can't wait to see what happens the longer I use it! I love how my skin looks and am very happy to pay the price at Costco.

I think it made me breakout more
I used this stuff for about a week and the next week I had more breakouts, i don't know if this was what made me breakout more, but I don't plan on finding out.

Healthy glow
I use this straight after showering on my face and body. It stops my skin feeling tight and it looks and feels softer. It doesn't take long to absorb into the skin and I find it's a great base for make up. Best of all, it doesn't cause breakouts for me, I've stopped getting blackheads and I've noticed my pores are less noticeable since I started using this a few month ago. I would say though that it's not particularly moisturising on its own. After a particularly dry winter, the skin on my face got a bit flakey so I started to use e45 cream at night after washing my face. This has has helped moisturise my skin enough that I use Bio oil in the day as a light, easily absorbed, base for make up. I should point out that this works best (as with most moisturisers) when you apply it to slightly damp skin to seal in natural moisture. Also less is more if you're thinking of applying other products on top.

Acne getting worse before getting better?
I have mild adult acne which becomes worse in the fall. I was looking for a good moisturizing product that would not make me break out, and maybe even help my skin clear up. I started using Bio-Oil a month ago. I had high hopes for this product and applied it religiously morning and nights, massaging my skin carefully. My pimples did not get better at all! In fact, I started having many more zits, especially on my chin. I can feel the skin on my face and neck being rough and corse, and many small pimples starting to make their way to the surface! Last night, I began to think that I would not wait the suggested 3 months period to see results. I am very dissapointed as I loved the smell and texture of the oil, and massaging my skin with it felt wonderfull. Maybe I should wait out the three months before giving up? Maybe my skin has been so dried up and toughened by years of various acne products that it is taking longer to respond? I don't know... But unless I stard seeing progress soon, I am going to abandon Bio-Oil forever...

Pros:

Makes skin glow
Improves skin tone previously ruined from picking at spots
Helps nasty pimples heal faster

Cons:

None

I have relatively sensitive skin, and some products make me break out badly on my cheeks. I was also a picker and had minor scarring and redness all over the place. Bio Oil (also used in conjunction with Lush skincare products) made an amazing difference to my skin after 2 weeks of use. I highly recommend this for people with mild to moderate acne caused more by hormone fluctuation than skin care issues.

no miracles
I bought it to help heal and speed up my break outs, at first it seemed great but unfortunately for me it started to cause breakouts. It didn't provide any miracles for me.

Pros:

• Lightens scars
• Gets rid of most scars
• Doubles up as a moisturizer
• Makes skin feel light and soft
• Been about 6 months and I still haven't run out
• I sometimes use this as a face massage oil - it feels amazing!

Cons:

• None!

I love this product! I started using this half a year ago when a friend recommended it and I decided to give it a shot. At that time, my scars were pretty dark and I had alot of acne (which kept scarring my face) but after about a month my skin lightened up and my scars faded! I am so happy with the results and although I get new scars from my acne, bio oil helps to get rid of them as well as my old scars. Recommending this to everyone - its so cheap and effective!
