I have been using bio oil now for over 4 months and I have to say that I see very little difference in the appearance of my scar. It was a very pink colour and it's still very pink. It's also a raised scar and the bio oil has done nothing to improve that. It's nice enough as a moisturiser but I'm afraid I've seen no change in my scar or stretch marks either.

after reading about this and seeing pictures of before and afters in magazines i gave this a ago and its horrible!!!
it goes everywhere and broke me out in the biggest rash which was super itchy!! does nothing it claims to, and its pretty pricey compared to other similar on the market. after researching some of the ingredients arent that great either which i wasnt impressed at
I first started using this years ago for a seriously big post-surgery scar. I feel like it did help fade the scar a bit, but time has done that also.
I use a few drops at a time and massage it in. It is very oily and does not absorb quickly at all, leaving a film on the skin. I usually put it on before I went to bed to let it absorb overnight.
I keep it on standby in case I want something heavy duty, but if I were to have scarring issues again I would probably turn to rosehip oil over this.
Tips: Be careful when wearing light coloured clothes - I managed to get a permanent faint stain on a white singlet from where it lay against my skin.
I used this while I was pregnant and I was so disappointing to say it was awful. The oil was runny and went everywhere. The smell was really off putting and I broke out in a massive rash all over my belly which itched like crazy for days and days. Unfortunately I brought two bottles and it was a complete waste of my money. I can't even give them away.
Tips: If you choose to use this product test it first on a small patch before diving in like I did
Never to be used on your face, this product contains pert chemicals which you will quickly realise as you apply to your skin and find it tingling
Tips: AVOID!!!!!
I was recommend by so many people to use this throughout my pregnancy to aid my skin with being supple, however I was highly disappointed. It left my skin with a greasy oily feel afterwards and it took a long time to be absorbed. I tried it again after my pregnancy with the same results. Didn't fade my stretch marks and just made me feel like I'd rolled around in oil. I expect more with the price tag of around $30...
I brought a bottle off bio oil about three months ago. I have very large read scars on my legs, so had high hopes to at least minimize these. I first opened the bottle, I was taken back from the smell. It was so odd I can't begin to describe it. I used a small amount which went very far. To far I ended up getting it every where. After using twice a day for a few days I notices a red rash which got worse and worse. It was extremely sore and itchy. Despite this I kept using the product (I'm not one for wasting product or money). After a month I toke a photo to compare to my before photo. There was no change. So not only did I waste money, I wasted time.
Tips: Use a very small amount. Be aware off bad reactions to skin.
I used Bio Oil on my stretch marks. It made no difference at all. I would not use this product again or recommend it.
I used to have plenty of scars from flea bites and Bio Oil helped me get rid of them! Before, I was so embarrased to wear skirts & shorts but after months of using this product it has brought back my confidence :)
I have Bio Oil as I have recently gained some horrific scars that really embarrass me and I can't hide them, I've been using bio oil on them and find it only works when I apply like a cup full and then yet it only lasts a short time, I wish that there was something that really could help but I don't think that this is helping me!
