Great! Are you using Bio-Oil to treat a specific condition? Keep us posted on your results--we'd love to hear what you think of it.

I have been using bio oil for about 60 days..i am pleased. it is a light oil it hydrates my skin nicely. my skin is fair with blotches at jaw area..and acne scars on my cheeks. bio oil is smoothing out my complexion i still have blotchy skin but it is slowly disappearing. my acne scars are still there but not as pronounced. the information packet says to give bio oil 90 days and to use it twice a day. i havent applied it twice a day every day BUT i have used it once a day. im surprised it is working it was $12.and is in this non-descript box and i found it in a magazine ad. i plan to continue using bio oil. im surprised something so inexpensive is showing positive results for me.my skin feels good must be the hydration.

Have been bio-oil over the past month to get rid of the very old burn marks that i got in childhood. Working well, though they are not gone yet but they are lightening.

Thanks Mehreen for sharing your results so far from Bio-Oil; I'm glad that you're starting to see results so quickly. Scar discolorations can take 6 months+ to begin to lighten up and from my own experiences (many of them), I've found the biggest challenge is in maintaining the regimen over time. Please keep us posted on your results, and good luck!

I have been using Bio-Oil for about 2.5 to 3 weeks twice a day now , for post surgury scars. I am very happy to have found this product. My scars are becoming less noticable. I can't wait for the 3 month rusults , of which it recommends.

I just started using Bio Oil just a couple of days ago but i really have a good fealing about it.

Mehreen Khan 28 Nov 2008

Yes Nancy. It is working - it has lightened a lot but not completely gone yet :(! ..i guess a couple of more months with the ugly scars. I hated my hands - i dropped an iron on my hand long time ago..and my hands were UGLY! and look MUCH MUCH better now! ..

I burnt myself two weeks ago I have nice burn blotches and this stuff has given me some hope I feel instant results like my skin softening and I never see it on my clothing I think I will cary this "crack" wether my skin lightens or not. My scabs melt off. sounds sick but true

Thanks for your comments about Bio-Oil--I have gotten much more diligent about applying it to my scar (from using It Works Paste to remove a mole); but the reason for the diligence is that I've been applying Bio-Oil to my nails & cuticles each night at bedtime to help keep them hydrated now that it's bitterly cold here in the NYC area. My scar, on the inside of my lower arm is indeed fading more quickly, which I can only attribute to my new-found diligence; but I still question whether I'd have similar results with any other moisturizing lotion of scar treatment cream...

Well I came across this site looking on the internet to find out exactly what PurCellin actually contains. I have been using Bio Oil for 5 months. I am a 56 year old woman with acne scars on my cheeks since when I was a teenager. I am shocked at this oil. I have only been using it once a day for 5 months but this morning when I looked in the mirror I noticed that my 35 year old acne scars are almost completely gone. I wish I had taken a close up photo of the scars before I started using Bio Oil and could compare. But let me tell you I have stared at those scars for so many years I know how they have dramatically reduced. In addition, I have always had jowls and they have also almost disappeared. My skin is so lifted and so incredibly young looking. You have to have patience when using Bio Oil. Just keep using it and it will work. I swear by this oil now. I will never use anything else. If you have acne scars or saggy skin then use it. You will never regret it. The only thing it has not done for me is get rid of the age spots on my hands. But I have fade creams for that. This Oil is best for scars and saggy skin

Can you recommend a fade cream that actually works on age spots? That's one of the reasons I bought the Bio Oil . . . I was hoping it would help. I have them on my face too. I am also hoping it will help with the dark patches and hyper-pigmentation from acne on my face. I've been using it for about 3 weeks and so far all it has helped are my stretch marks. I'm happy about that.

i have been using the oil on and off for 1 year now. it does work but you must use it on regular basis otherwise you end up with the old problem if stoped, but at $20 a bottle its not expensive, so ya will keep using.

I have been using bio-oil for the past week now religiously on an old scar on my face. I liked the product so much I put in all over my face at night to hydrate my skin. I will check back in in about 5 weeks {half-way mark} to let you know if my scar has lost its pinkness. suzi*roche

For those of you who love Bio-Oil, it must be catching on: it appeared in this past Sunday's paper in a Walgreens ad circular and CVS stores are now selling it a bit more prominently on skincare shelves and in two sizes...

Ok. so i just bought bio-oil couple weeks ago at walmart. I seen it online and started to c it on commercials so i decided that i needed to try it. I am pregnant, 9 months today! :] and ive been using palmers cream, lotion, and mineral oil. that rlly hasnt showed ne improvement and ive been using it for awhile!! but honestly i can say within a couple weeks of using this bio-oil, my stretch marks arent purpleish, their pinkish now.! and thats within a couple weeks. so i see a good start

I have been using bio-oil for the past 6 months after giving birth. I had dark marks all over my tummy. Now I am seeing the difference. The stretch marks are becoming lighter. I like the outcomes. And would advise everyone who want to get rid of the old scars to use it. I am now a happy woman and soon I will be able to wear my short tops without being scared if my tummy shows.

JANE DO 26 Apr 2009

ive been using bio oil on my stretch marks for 2 days now they are far from gone an they will never go but they have lightened i hope it continues to do so. does anyone know if the lightening effect of bio oil is permanent or do u have to forever use it to have lightened scars

i have been using this product for a couple days but hopefully could help me..i have acne scars for 10 years.. but i trust that this product will help me.. honestly is very hard to live with scars..but i have a hope now

I have just read about Bio-oil in a magazine, and decided that I will buy some tomorrow. As an after thought, I looked it up on the net, and found this sight. Will definitely let you know how it goes. I am a 56year old woman, and have found that my skin is drying out, plus having lost over a stone in weight, have found some of my skin to start sagging. Here's hoping then.

NancyM 1 Jul 2009

Thanks for your comment and let us know what you think. Bio-oil can feel greasy at first, but once it absorbs, it begins to feel more silky, then soft. The intitial "greasy" or oily feel can be off-putting at first. If you are noticing sagging by the jawline, be sure to apply the Bio-oil to your neck area as well, ideally blending upward to your jawline. Keep us posted and good luck!

Loree 21 Jul 2009

I am thinking about buying this product because I have alot of discoloration on my arms, it seems so expensive and just wondered if anybody had used it for the purpose of fading discoloration.I would like to hear feedback before I invest that much money into it so your comments on how it works on dark spots would be greatly appriciated. Thanks
