Pros:

smells great!! Can put it in your bath, good moisturizer, faded my stretch marks, slightly faded my scar, it works but very little.. You have to buy bottles of it for it to work. Im on my 2nd bottle and notice a small slight improvement in my skin

Cons:

If you put it on your face it can be greasy.

It works if you are willing to use it 3 times a day everyday

Pros:

Light
Lasts a long time
Helps blemishes and blackheads

Cons:

If used for scars, it can take a long time to see the effects.

After steaming, or washing with hot water (to open pores) massage bio oil into your face, and the blackheads literally just slip out! There are still a few smaller ones, but they're hardly noticeable!

Pros:

Skin is soft
Has a healthy glow, especially my legs
Sensitive enough to use on my face, with no increase of pimples

Cons:

Packaged in a bottle that does not control spillage well.

I would recommend Bio oil to anyone, especially if you have dry skin, but be patient results are not seen straight away, I use it daily and only saw results after 4-6weeks, but it's worth the wait.

Pros:

-Makes your skin very soft
-Makes your skin glow
-Did not make me break out

Cons:

-None!

I have only been using this for the moisturizing affect and therefore can't comment on how well it works for other purposes, but I love it as a moisturizer and use it twice a day as part of my regular skin care regime. You only need to use a tiny bit, or else it does make your skin oily and takes a long time for your skin to absorb it. It is pretty inexpensive and lasts for a long time.

Pros:

Non-greasy, affordable and smells good

Cons:

you need to discipline yourself to apply it two times a day otherwise you won't get proper results

I accidentally knocked down a pot of hot water scaled my hand six months ago. It left a hideous scar on my right hand. I have heard of Bio-Oil from a friend of mine who is from the UK. Apparently, the product has been around for a few years now. Anyway, I've been using it for about month now and have noticed that my skin is repairing quite nicely. The redness has gone down quite a bit too. If you are skeptical about this product, visit [link removed] . Looking at the photos from the site was enough to convince me that the product works! I hope my scaled hand would nicely. I give you guys and update a month from now.

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:

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:

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!
