I use this mainly on very dry skin and it really helps as well as a massage oil since it is such a fine oil. I love the smell of it too. I hasn't done anything for scars/stretch marks for me but I don't use it religiously enough to judge that really. So I would recommend for dry skin but not so much for the other things it is advertised towards.

Through puberty I got some wicked stretch marks on my breast when I went from A to D in what felt like overnight. I used bio oil as directed and although it took a few months they lightened and now are practically invisible. This product is really good and I still use it.
Tips: Put a few drops into your bath water to get whole body coverage.
I used this on my belly and breasts when I was pregnant and have 0 stretch marks on my belly and very minimal scarring on my breasts. I wished I used this behind my upper tthighs as I didnt and did end up with stretch marks there. I also used this on rashes I get from some shampoos and laundry powders and its very soothing. I even put a few drops in my hair from time to time after straightening it and found it good for flyaways. I found this quite expensive so look out for it in sales or promotions.
Tips: If using when pregnant make sure you apply it every time your skin gets itchy. Itchiness is a sign your skin is stretching and scratching will make them worse. Using this will soothe the itching and give your skin more flexibility.
So I brought this not for my stretch marks, but as a moisterizer in winter for my dry skin. I believe that if you're going to get stretch marks, you're going to get them and no "miracle" cream is going to prevent that.
Bio oil is great for dry skin. I only use it in winter as it's quite oily and in winter my skin gets quite dry. Using this stuff my skin is never dry! I only use it at night and by the morning, my skin is soft and moisterized and all the oil has been absorbed into my skin. I love it! I've been using it for the past 3 years (only in winter) and the condition of my skin has never been better. My skin tone is also nice and even. Overall, I love this product.
Tips: I don't use this product in any kind of warm weather as it is quite oily and just does not feel nice on sweaty skin!
I tried bio oil middle of last year as a last resort to my stretch marks, within a month i was seeing a great difference .. they were lighter and had nearly disappeared and even now after stopping using it they have stayed the same from using bio oil
Tips: Had to use morning and night, and even put it in the bath :)
I used this religiously when I was pregnant with my first child and it was great! I didn't get any stretch marks at all. I found it was really moisturising and I loved the smell. It even helped reduce stretch marks I had on my hips from the teen years. Sadly I didn't use it as religously with my 2nd pregnancy so got a few marks on my belly but I used it afterwards and it faded them quite quickly so I would totally recommend this product to others.
Tips: Can use it on any scars/marks and even used lightly on your face either under moisturiser or alone.
I was hoping to use Bio Oil to reduce the appearance of acne scars on my face, and I used it in conjunction with my benzoyl peroxide acne cream. I put it on at night, all over my face. After a month or so of doing it every night, my skin was a lot clearer and the dark acne marks had faded a lot. The only reason I stopped doing this was because I ran out and never remember to buy more.
Tips: Like just about all beauty products, it may not work for you. It does just sit on the skin, but I found that applying it before bed was great because I didn't have to worry about having an oily complexion. If you do this and are worried about it going on your pillows, just lay a soft towel down or apply it earlier on in the evening.
Awesome product!! I had a scar which is not visable anymore after using bio oil. I used it every night after a shower for about two weeks and I could definitely see the difference. Also worked well for my uneven skin tone on my face
Tips: Due to it being an oil I found it best to use in the evening when I wasn't going anywhere
I've had a huge scar along the back of my right leg from this one time a few years ago when I fell off my bike and pretty much skid along a jagged rock as I rolled off. Last Christmas I visited my cousin who had a baby recently and she recommended Bio Oil. She'd been using it to get rid of her baby stretches and I thought why not? So I went and bought a little bottle to try and so far I'm really liking it. My scar has already faded (yay!) considerably and my skin seems generally smoother and tighter looking. It's quite oily feeling but I find that if you really rub it in then it pretty much gets all sucked up by your skin. I typically rub some on at night before bed and everytime after I shower. Looking forward to more results!
Both my sister and i have used this product, and it is amazing. My sister used it after having my nephew,and it greatly reduced her stretch marks. I have used it for all sorts of things,including sratches, acne scars,
