it’s okay

I bought this because people said it was their holy grail for acne scars. I have some active acne in between my eyebrows and on my nose but other than that I have acne scars all over my forehead. I usually run it al over my face at night and in the morning I put a thin layer just on my forehead. Ever since I started using it I’ve noticed a lot more tiny bumps on my fore head and my acne scars haven’t changed

Eh it's pretty good

Pros:

It works
Smells nice
Has natural vitamins

Cons:

Greasy
Absorbs quickly
Takes awhile to work

Alright here's the run down: I do recommend this product for scarring but only in small amounts. I had an acne scar on my face for months (used medirma and it made it even bigger) I've been using bio oil for a week now and I already see my scar has decreased in size. It works but it takes time, don't expect a miracle out of it. Also, it is an oily product so you only need a small amount but I would apply it a couple times a day because it absorbs quickly into your skin.

Pros:

- made skin feel very soft
-evened out skin tone
-lightened some acne scars
-gives a bit of a glow

Cons:

-very slow to work, patience is needed
- only works to an extent in that it cannot completely diminish acne marks
- works better on old scars, new scars don't seem to be fading

I would recommend this product for mild acne and hyper pigmentation. I had very dark acne scars on my cheek and would never leave my house without covering it with make up. Thanks to bio oil I am now able to wear no make up as my acne marks have lightened significantly. The bottle lasts for a very long time, I have been using it twice a day for 4 months and I still have just under half left. It is a good product however, it takes a very long time to start working and it doesn't work very well on new scars. Patience and perseverence definately needed.

Pros:

Doesn't make face look greasy
Can apply under make up
Evens out skintone

Cons:

Made me break out on my chin
Clogged pores
Didnt make acne scars go away

I used it every morning and night just like I read in the directions for a month. I know you're suppose to use it for a minimum of 3 months but it started making me break out on my chin after 2 weeks. In the beganning I felt like it was working , evening out my skintone . But I recently stopped using it like 2 days ago . Everyone has different skin, so it might work for someone else.

Pros:

Not greasy or shiny.

Cons:

Couldn't tell if it was breaking me out and didn't see much improvement on my scars.

I have mixed reviews about Bio Oil. At times, I thought it improved my skin texture, other times, I thought it made me break out, especially on my chin! I have only used it for one month or so, I know you're supposed to use it a lot longer than that to see results but I wanted to leave my skin alone after getting more spots on my chin. The only thing I liked was how it didn't make my skin look greasy so I was able to put it on in the morning if I wanted to. It's all about trialling products to see what works for you, I don't think this one was for me.

Pros:

glowing skin
nice smell
very moisturizing
healing ingredients
great for all skin issues-burns, bites, psoriasis
evens skin texture

Cons:

made me break out
little to no acne scar improvement

I used it as directed which is daily and it ended up clogging my pores and giving me a breakout and my skin isn't even oily to begin with. I didn't see any improvement in scarring either. But I do still buy and use this product, just not too often. It makes me glow and I keep it on hand all summer long. I use once a week as a depp moisture treatment when I feel dry and patchy. I use it on chapped lips (instant healing). And on all bug bites, burns, scratches and psoriasis patches. It clears those up quickly just didn't work so well on my face.

Pros:

It makes a nice moisturizer, I rarely break out because of this oil.

Cons:

I haven't seen MUCH changing as far as my skin tone evening out or any scars going away.

The directions DO SAY to use this product for a MINIMUM of three months straight. Two applications daily. I bought this around December of 2010 and I don't always apply TWICE. But I do use it fairy often. I'd recommend this only for usage as a moisturizer.
