This definitely worked for my scarring, but took half a year to do so. If you are impatient, i would look for other products. This is quite expensive in pharmacies but a bottle would last you a long time.

If you have the patience then this is the product for you!
It really works for stretch marks but you have to apply at least morning and night and massage the areas for at least 15min. Give it about six weeks before you will see a big improvement when it comes to the stretch marks. The really old ones wont disappear completely but will be less noticeable.
One good thing is that its a multi purpose product! Its good for everything from shaving to sun burns! I also use it as cuticle oil on my nails. Which just keeps them in sucha good shape and so healthy! When I had bleach blonde hair, I used to run some oil in the ends of my hair and it help so much to keep it conditioned.
I really love this but like all oils that say they will fix everything, they take time an are not a miracle. I actually had to ask someone what the best way to use this was, because applying it straight on I was not getting good coverage an it is too expensive to waste. I love the smell an how soft it makes your skin feel an once I knew how to use it properly I found it wonderful, my skin started changing an I could actually see a difference most days.
Tips: Apply a very small amount to your body directly after a shower or bath whilst still wet rub all over and wait a minute or so before dabbing dry with a towel. I found night time was the best for this an got better results.
I know there is very mixed reviews on this product, but i found using it twice a day everyday on scars for two months very effective i have noticed huge differences ! I do think with scars though there is a point where products like this wont work, its something to start using straight away after a scar is formed for best results !
Tips: Strangely enough bio oil is very effective used lightly on your face, i found it worked very well with uneven skin tone and redness on may face, along with acne scarring (use a very very small amount though, too much oil on your face isn't too good for it)
I found this to be very good. I recently had stitches etc and once it had healed well I started to apply Bio Oil to help with the dryness etc. I found that it helped a lot with the stiffness and that it was a lot easier to walk etc once this had been applied to my sore on the back of ankle. I also started using it as a night cream and my skin is so soft now.
Tips: Don't apply heaps as it is quite oily
During puberty I aquired a lot of stretch marks. And I mean a lot! Mostly on my bum, hips and thighs. When I fell pregnant I was determined to try everything possible to avoid stretch marks on my stomach. I started from 4 weeks gestation applying bio oil religiously twice a day. I also used 1 other brand of oil and 1 other brand of cream. So 3 products total twice a day. I felt like a slippery sticky mess but at 40weeks gestation - No stretchmarks. The areas that I didnt use the oil, breasts and bum etc did get stretch marks.
The price of bio oil is quite expensive. But a little does go a long way. I used 1 large bottle throughout my pregnancy. The scent is fine. I did find it to be more greasy than other brands though.
Tips: Try it
I got this product for the typical "pregnancy and strech mark prevention" Yes it did not stop my stretch marks, but it did keep my skin lush and happy. I used to bath several times a day while pregnant to relive my discomfort, I would place a few drops of bio oil in my bath and rub into my skin. It really did help in that area but I dont think people can believe any products that advise it stops stretch marks because they are going to happen.
This product did dramatically reduce my stretchmarks, but I did have to make sure I used it every day. At first I used it about once a week and there was no change. Definitely a product you need to use every day for results.
Tips: Pour some into your baths- helps with the stretch marks and leaves your skin soft and smooth.
Got rid of a lot of my acne scars but you have to use it every day. I applied it twice a day, morning and night. It also moisturized my skin.
Tips: Don't apply during the day, you might get patchy skin due to tanning :)
This is a good product it is better than baby oil as it does not leave the skin dry after washing it off, also does not leave an oily feeling after putting it on. although i must say that you tend to burn easily when out in the sun with using this product
