I have given bio oil multiple chances but have never seen results of improving scars over long term use. This product is overpriced in many stores but can be found reasonably priced at places like The Warehouse. Scent is subtle so you can use it and it won't leave you or your clothes smelling like chemicals.

Reviews
I've seen a lot of reviews for after people already have scars etc that they want to get rid of. I on the other hand use it to heal up cracked skin so that it doesn't end up scarring. I get dermatitis on my hands and feet, and my skin can get very very dry. Bio oil helps it heal up quicker - don't get me wrong, it's not a miracle cure, and it is very expensive, so I use it very sparingly and only when my dermatitis gets really bad.
Tips: Use to prevent scars/marks e.g. if you have cracking skin incl on the heels of your feet
Somehow I have so many tiny bottles of this stuff lying around the house! I'm not a fan of Bio Oil - I just don't think it works. I've tried sticking to it a few times over the last couple of years for minor stretch marks and small scars, and it hasn't done anything. I also find that it isn't that pleasant to use - I'm not a huge fan of the scent and it can get quite greasy. I wish this worked for me, but past experience would unfortunately indicate otherwise
Tips: It goes quite a long way, so if you are going to try it out you can do just fine for quite a while with the smaller bottle.
Used it continuously for about a year, barely saw any meaningful results for a scar that wasn't that old. It did make me break out if applied to my face, as the product is quite oily. The product does go along way, so no need to buy a huge bottle. It did leave my skin feeling soft and hydrated, but didn't appear to fade my scar. Would not recommend to a friend.
I didn't see any reduction in scaring or stretch marks the only bonus was my skin was smooth and hydrated. But for the price and using it every day hoping to see results I was disappointed. I can get smooth and hydrated skin from moisturiser alone. I wouldn't re purchase this. I will occasionally use the one I already have though (as I got a few bottles) lol
Tips: Don't waste your money
This product goes a long way so apply sparingly. It is a little oily but does absorb into the skin fairly quickly. It is too early to say if it will do the job of reducing my scar as I have only used it for three weeks. It was good value when on a buy one get on free promotion. Overall smell is pleasant and packaging good. I would probably recommend to people with very dry skin.
I brought this to try and help reduce some scars on my hand, in particular help reduce the appearance of a rather large and noticable one on the top of my hand. It wasn't that afforable to start with but I had high hopes for what it could do for me. I used it once a day for a month on the scarred areas and apart from stopping my skin feeling dry it didn't really do much else. I had a slight change to my large scar however and not a good one at that. The scar tissue went so hard! It was almost like the oil made it solidfy, it was quite weird. The packaging looks abit budget in my opinion too, as well as the cheap looking plastic container its in, for the price I would expect something a little nicer. But overall pretty dissapointing, i chucked it in the bin in the end.
This product is quite expensive for the amount you do get, It doesnt really give the results wanted in first instance but they do come eventually after a couple bottles later
Well it hasnt helped with any of my scars or stretch marks unfortunatly. It is good if you have dry skin however but not that good that id rush out to buy it again if i ran out.
Alot of people I know say this does not work at all! But I have mixed reactions on this well known product we all love to hate and hate to love. I 1st started using this when I was 3months pregnant everyday right up until I had my son. My stretch marks are unnoticeable, was it because I used the bio oil? I believe it was as I got quite big. I have also started using it on my legs as they have minor scarring and they seem to be fading which is great for me as I can get the legs out this summer! If in doubt just keep trying, don't give up!
