Heck not every product out there is a miracle worker, I am sure very few give overnight results. I began using this product every single day about two months ago and it works WONDERS. First you can use it for stretch marks but with a 2 oz. bottle I would stick with small areas. Then you can use it for scars and to moisturize your face and neck, ladies! You must follow the instructions even though they are pretty simple. If I am using this for acne scars, skin discolorations (sun exposure), uneven skin tone I apply either over makeup (may not be recommended as this could remove your makeup)and on a freshly washed face. I use the lengths of my fingers not fingertips since they produce the oils that could cause you breakouts from YES touching your face. I rub into the affected area or scar (even works on cystic acne scars) atleast two to three times a day when I am able to. But if not I do this at night before going to bed. Be patient and wait one to two weeks before you notice a big difference as the scar gets lighter your face appears to be glowing and skin discolorations slowly fade. Keep on it atleast everyday and if you want faster results like I did then rub this oil into the area two to three times a day. I am glad I bought this and one bottle lasted me over two months and I used it everyday! Give this product a try, be patient, follow the directions and you may not be disappointed.

I for years have struggled with Rosacea. The prescription creams from my doctor manage to prevent outbreaks but do not address the redness well. I’ve been using this product for over two weeks and there has been a marked decrease in the redness on my cheeks, nose and chin.
The product applies well and is quickly absorbed by the skin. There is no oily residue.
Another thing I really like about this product is a little goes a long way. As I said I have been using this for over 2 weeks and looking at the bottle just a little has been used.
This is a great product with wonderful results!
Update 1/11/09
I have a friend who had several rather large new surgery incisions. She was really worried about scaring. I told her about Bio-Oil and she started using it. Now 6 months later she is still raving about how well her scars have healed! She states that even her surgeon is very impressed!

UPDATE 2: Bio-oil continued to work, and it actually helped the scar area look all the same when I got some sun on it this summer. I did find a picture of the original injury (it’s not for the squeamish, but it will show how long my original was. UPDATE: It has been a little over three weeks since I started using Bio-oil. In fact, I stopped using it four days ago to see if the positive results were only temporary. While I was using Bio-oil on the liver spots, not only did the spots fade, but other nearby spots (2.5 inches away) faded, too, even though they were not applied directly with Bio-oil. The spots came back after two days of not using Bio-oil, not as dark, as they were, but they did come back. My forehead scar has continued to disappear even after I stopped, so I am going to continue putting Bio-oil on it. Not only has the scar tissue turned from being reddish to now looking like the my regular skin color, the area of the scar which was a little higher is now decreasing to where I can hardly feel the any rise in the area. I will update this review in another 2-3 weeks, and try to take some pictures of the scar. The pictures I took three weeks ago didn’t show as much as it really looks like, but it did show the higher rise. I’ll post whatever the final pictures look like and compare them to the original wound (really bad looking) and those from three weeks ago, along with the final pictures in two weeks.
When I saw this product offered to “Vine” participants, I thought it would be one that my wife, who is a fair-skinned blond, could use. She applied it to a place on her arm for several days before I asked her about it. When I looked at her arm, I could immediately tell where she had used it for that area was smoother looking and even felt smoother.
This got me very interested in Bio-Oil, and I thought I’d use it on a scar on my head near my hairline and on a “liver” spot (or is it called an “age” spot?), and I have been very pleased with the results.
The scar is a little over two inches long in the shape of an “L,” and for the three years I’ve had it, almost an inch of it was still reddish and has looked like it was still healing. The doctor who treated me told me to put Neosporin on it, and it would heal without much of a scar. Well, he was wrong. Now, in the week that I have been using Bio-Oil, the red part of the scar has decreased in length to where it is only 1/4th of an inch in length. The liver spot on the back of my hand has decreased in color to where it is difficult to find.
Like one other reviewer, I am going to post a follow-up to this review in several weeks to let you know two things: 1) Did both areas, the scar and the liver spot, continue to improve, and 2) What happened once I stopped applying Bio-Oil, for it is one thing for a product to work, but it is even better if the product produced some sort of permanent result.
NOTE: The results are in. The liver spots came back after I stopped applying Bio-oil, but the scar stayed healed, and I am posting two pictures. I hate to say it, but after I got such great initial results, I didn’t apply Bio-oil on a regular basis, so your results with the liver (aging) spots may be better. Of the two pictures, one shows how the scar looked after the doctor treated it and had me use Neosporin. That picture was taken in 2005 after it had been healed for a year. The scar was still very visible and looked this way even three years later before I started using Bio-oil. The second picture was taken just a few days ago. I am pretty confident I could have had even better results, but I’m just not used to treating myself for anything for more than three weeks.
