I used this throughout my pregnancy and I still got stretch marks. It says it helps prevent and diminish and I think this product doesn't do either. I used this 3 times a day RELIGIOUSLY throughout my entire pregnancy and I still ended up with marks everywhere. It smells nice and feels nice, but for about $10 a bottle that would last me about a month, it's totally not worth it.

PLEASE NOTE: My review is for the use of Bio-oil on your face to improve complexion and reduce the appearance of scars.

I have been suffering from the occasional breakout that would often leave a lasting impression on my face in the form of a scar/blemish. After trying several products to reduce the appearance of the blemishes/scars on my face, I turned to bio-oil because I read so many great reviews about the product.

My experience:
Bio-Oil is extremely oily and the first time I put it on my face, I made sure to follow all the instructions properly (massaging techniques, how much to use, etc) and I noticed that it took a really long time for my skin to absorb the oil! So I went to sleep with it on my face and by morning, I woke up with really soft and supple skin! However, after a few more tries, I found that I was breaking out way too much so I completely stopped using it.

The pros:
-Skin really is soft and supple the next day. Great for those with dry skin

The cons:
-Inadequate instructions on how to properly use the product. For example, it states that it should be used twice a day, I don't see a problem with using it at nighttime before bed but what should I do in the morning? Should I use it before I moisturize and put on makeup? Should I even moisturize? I tried various ways to use it such as go without moisturizer and just put make up over the bio-oil product - that did not work out too well as my foundation ended up looking really blotchy/funny. I tried to use it under my moisturizer and that just made my face really oily.

-Further elevated my breakout problems. I literally had 5-6 a day during the week or so I tried to use it on my face.

The bottom line: It probably is great for other stretch marks on various parts of your body, but if you have normal-combination skin, I'd be skeptical about trying it on your face.
