Amazing. !
I have acne prone skin and very very oily. I saw its advertisement on TV and was just wondering if I should really be applying oil to my skin which is so oily already. Anyway I ordered this online and it's just been a week, and I can see the results so visibly clear !!
It gets absorbed in skin easily, doesn't cause breakouts and is absolutely non greasy.
I hope to get rid of my acne scars really soon.

Dubious but it amazed me
I suffer from both acne (not so bad now but flare ups from time to time and still have extremely sensitive skin) and very dry skin which gets towards flaky in the winter months. Having such sensitive skin I find that oil-moisturizers make me break out and the non-oil ones, although better than nothing, seem to be instantly absorbed into my skin leaving it still feeling dry. A friend recommended bio-oil and I was dubious; "Oil? On my skin? Really??" However, I was also desperate and so I tried it. I started off at first on the T-Zone as I didn't want to stray into my more spot prone areas until I saw how the rest of my skin reacted. After one use my skin was already feeling better. It felt fresher, the dryness was massively reduced and when I woke up in the morning (having put it on the night before) I just felt more fresh faced. Because it was improving the dryness and smoothness of the skin it also meant my make up went on and stayed on better! After a couple of weeks with no reaction to it I expanded onto my chin and the rest of my face. Although I don't think it is a 'spot eradicator' as I do still get them the spots I have gotten since using this are less aggressive in nature and the skin feels more balanced. I would definitely recommend it if you suffer from dry skin and are scared of aggravating your acne. I forgot to put it on one night and when I woke up my face was almost as dry as it had been before I started using it! This is definitely an addition to my skin care routine for life.

Slow, but getting somewhere
I've been using this for about 2 or 3 months now to treat my acne scars and dark spots, mostly on my cheeks. I think it has improved the appearance of the scars, since it has decreased the darkness of some spots. However, it does seem to be taking a pretty long time to achieve slow results. I use it almost every night, probably 5/7 nights a week. During the week, I do not use it during the day, since I do wear foundation and it doesn't apply very nicely with this gel on under. On weekends, though, I don't wear any makeup, so I do apply it up to 3 or 4 times through out the entire day. I know that it's recommended to apply this about 3 times per day to see better results, so that's probably part of why I might not be seeing faster results. I don't mid the slight smell, nor the texture, but my skin does seem a tiny bit tight after application, but goes back to normal in a couple of minutes. Overall, it's a good product. I will definitely repurchasing, since I'm almost done with my first pot of gel.

Works greatly with acne
I have oily skin and was suffering very badly from pimples and subsequent acne. Tried out many creams and face washes. At last bio oil is something which came to my rescue. Now my face is getting clear and I am really happy for this product. Found it online in pretty many sites like Flipkart, Amazon.in, Click on care, Nykaa etc. There are price differences also between them and found Clickoncare has a reasonable price. So got it from them. Now using bio oil for more than an year.

TRY IT
I have used Murad, garnier, and neutrogena products designed to fade scars/marks from acne. All for 6 months or more, but NOTHING has worked so quickly and effectively. It has faded old a new scars quicker than I thought possible, in one or two months. And old scars that I've had for year and years, in 5 months or less. I don't use this on active acne because it doesn't seem to work well on it, but any scars it does wonders. I am very pleased with this product. And you don't need a lot, I use it almost daily (for 6+ months. I'm always getting new scars because my skin is very sensitive and I have moderately severe acne) and I haven't used even a quarter of the jar. I don't wash it off in 30 minutes though, I put a thin layer over any scars after I've washed my skin at night and leave it on over night. If any is left on in the morning it easily washes off. I couldn't find it in the store so I think I bought it off drug store or amazon. Mine came in a pink and white tub with a silver/gray cap and says "madre perla" on it. Keep it sanitary, wash your hands before using it or bacteria will get in the tub. It works most quickly with new scars, as soon as the pimple has healed start applying this nightly. I don't use it around my mouth often because it might break me out just around my mouth (not sure), but I can't even wear lipstick with out around my mouth breaking out. That's why I only gave it 4 stars, also because it doesn't heal active acne. I also use tea tree oil, salicylic acid, benzoyl 2%, apple cider vinegar, and an aztec mask (not all at the same time of course) and I recently started BC.

Very good for scars
Helps a lot with my scars. I am a ''popper'' so it leaves scars sometimes. This has helped greatly. I don't like the smell of it but it's all good if it works. I keep it in the fridge. I got their newsletter today and they are giving you 2x more of this product for the same price so I'm happy as I'm running out.

Bio Oil Experience
Cons:
Expensive
Can get greasy if you use too much
Mineral Oil (If you're allergic)
Honestly, I was afraid this product would cause more acne for me but it hasn't. I see new scars healing really fast although I haven't noticed a huge improvement in old ones. It does sink into my skin relatively fast, and I use it as a moisturizer since it's so moisturizing I don't need my old one. Some people don't like the mineral oil, but I've done a lot of research on mineral oil and it's actually really good for scars and skin. Also, it has a comedogenic rating of like 0. If anything in Bio Oil is going to break you out, it's going to be Soybean Oil with a comedogenic rating of 3. Anyways, I haven't had any acne from the product and have noticed more even skin tone in general. Even if it doesn't work as a scar fading oil, it works great as a moisturizer.

Love it
Pros:
It works on scars/marks
Is effectively helping to heal my skin, especially since I'm on Accutane at the moment
Leaves skin feeling healthy and soft
Cons:
Very, very greasy/ oily
Not cheap
I have been using this for about 4 months now. At first I used it in the morning and in the evening but now I only use it before bed because it's so greasy and it makes my skin look so shiny.
It has reduced the appearance of my post inflammation hyper pigmentation and it leaves your skin feeling really soft.

Product used: Crusader Ultra (Skin Lightening Cream)
Pros:
It faded my skin fast...I have no acne, just needed to even out my skin..and it works fast..I put a natural oil on my face first, that seems to mask the strong chemical smell...if they add a fruit smell to it ..it would make it easier to apply...Works FASt..only a 1 week and 4 days of use...I got the soap to go with it.
Cons:
None
Works fast, see results fast, add a natural oil for skin, body, etc or just straight Vitamin E first..then apply lightner. You will like how your face tones out...Im a Pro makeup artists..so I have to represent when Im not wearing makeup as well...
