Pros:

Works great for scars on your body
Works for uneven skin
Hydrates skin
Available everywhere-pharmacies, Walmart, etc.

Cons:

Not recommended for face
Not recommended for stretch marks
A little expensive

I have been using bio-oil on my legs for a few months and it works very well on mosquito bite scars, injury scars, and other scars. It really WORKS for these type of scars!! :) I don't use this for my face, but I do hear that it causes breakouts. This doesn't work that well for stretch marks that you already have because I have tried it for stretch marks on my legs-they're from teen growth spurts. However, I heard that it works well if you don't have them, so use it to prevent stretch marks during pregnancy. I recommend COCOA BUTTER for stretch marks. For me, the small bottle is 14 dollars and the big bottle is 18, so the big bottle is worth the price!!!

Pros:

Great moisturizer
Smells nice
Available everywhere

Cons:

Very oily.
Tiny bit expensive

Perhaps I didn't use this religiously as I should have. Just found it so oily to use on a regular basis After reading these reviews, I would buy this again and start using on a regular basis. I did use this on my face once to help with acne scaring and it didn't make me break out but I do have very dry skin. I more used this at night time as a moisturizer for my hands.

Pros:

Smells nice
Can be applied to any scar
Moisturizes face
Effective

Cons:

Comes out pretty fast so watch out!

Great product. After three days of using it once as a moisturizer and twice just appying it to my face, my ugly acne scars are noticeably fading! I am also using it on my stretch marks as well. I look forward to seeing the results and comparison at the end of the week.

Pros:

does lighten acne scars by a bit.
help to reduce redness of acne

Cons:

too greasy

it works a little for me although the results are shown really slowly. i tried to apply it on my acne, and it does reduce the redness. i have got a lot of dark acne scars on my cheeks and forehead. bio-oil does help a little by making them less noticeable. i still have breakouts, but maybe it was because of puberty. i strongly recommend bio-oil. (:

Pros:

I didn't buy it for acne but for a nasty motorcycle burn on my leg. I put a few drops on the burn every day throughout the healing process and there is not a hint of a scar on my leg. I have also been putting it on all new signs of wrinkles and it's actually working!

Cons:

Nothing that I've come across in the year of using it.

This was amazing for healing and taking away the burn scar on my leg. There is no sign of it at all. Great for wrinkles as well. Consistency is the key for sure and the price is great.

Pros:

Helped skin out immensely

Cons:

took a week or two

I had a red mark on my face from cryosurgery so i was recommended bio oil from a pharmacist. At first I was skeptical but as I read reviews from it I decided to stick with it and apply it twice a day. After 2 weeks the redness on my face faded immensely, not only that but it also helped the scars on my arms. I recommend this product 100%

NEVER apply this to your face!
I would give bio oil 0 stars if i could. I applied this to my face and it broke me out on my nose - a place where i NEVER EVER get pimples! I now have an aggravating spot, it doesnt hurt or have a head, but the spot does feel bumpy. I had clear skin with no active spots up until i put this trash on my face, woke up the next morning with a SPOT on the right side of my nose! I seem fussy but i'll be using this up on my body, never on my face again. When i looked at the ingredients i was skeptic as to why this product had so many ingredients and chemicals. If you want to self inflict and introduce acne then buy this product. DO NOT BUY THIS UNLESS YOU USE IT ON YOUR BODY FOR STRETCH MARKS, BODY SCARS, AS A BODY OIL, ETC, JUST NEVER APPLY IT ON YOUR FACE I WARNED YOU!

Doesnt seem to be effective?
So Ive been applying bio oil for about a few months every night on a burn scar I have. Im seeing no improvements whatsoever. It happened from the exhaust pipe of a motorbike (ouch) and the scar is about the size of half my palm which I think is pretty noticeable. I lost the layer of skin and about a year later its now a lighter skin tone. Ive been extremely self conscious of it and have been well aware of everyone looking at it. It does look pretty bad though but I dont feel pain or anything.Maybe it needs more time but Im not very sure :/ nearly have given up on the product. anyone using bio oil on scars also not have improvements? if anyone could recommend anything for burn scars to 'fade' or lessen that would be greatly appreciated! :)

Caster oil is a great scar remover. I know a girl that had the exact same scar as yours in her leg. With time and commitment, it will help. Research it and give it a try :)

Pros:

Light weigh
Fast working
Exteamily effective
Attractive packaging
Moneys worth

Cons:

Greesy apperiance
Comes out a bit quick

so i have spent the past near enough 4 years of my life suffering from spots thanks to stress and purely because of my teenage years, which has resulted in me having to spend most of my income on different make up products to cover up these yuckie things! ive tried so many different brands to help my skin but not ever truly works that well, and if it does, its never for long term! and then i came across bio oil! i first started using it after my 3rd degree burns healed up as they left me with some very nasty scars, then one day thought, why not try it on my face? so i did, and its the best thing i have ever done! yes, it does look very greesy when applied and can last a while, but when your in the comfort of your home does it really matter?! i would rather have a nice cosey night in throughout the week so by the time the weekend comes i can be a step closer to the flawless skin everyone is dying to achive! i did find that the substance came out the bottle at a rather rapid speed, but it just means you have to be careful with how you choose to apply it! i extreamily recomend for anyone who suffers from spots or has any nasty scars, because this stuff really has worked mirricals with me!!!
