I used it on my face. Didn't help and found the oil to thin

I used it on a burn scar and it worked wonders! I used it soon after the accident though. I still use it once in a while on dry skin or after small cuts and it works well for me.

I haven't, but my tattooist was telling me how good it was - her daughter had very bad scars on her legs and it helped fade them a lot. I gather it is quite a long-term thing though.

^It wasn't for me. I burned my arm on a kettle (don't ask), and after using it for three weeks or so the scar had completely disappeared. Depends how bad the scarring is I think.

That's good to hear!

I use it at night time instead of a night cream as i have very dry skin patches due to psoriasis. I have had friends try it on stretchmarks and scarring and they haven't noticed a significant result at all.

I have heard there is a cream called Strivectin which is supposed to be great for scars Binkie. Aloe Vera gel is supposed to pretty good too, i'm testing that out on some small facial scars i have so i'll post in a couple of weeks and let you know if there is any significant improvement.

At the salon I used to work in, Bio oil was used as part of a regular manicure, on the cuticles. I had no idea it could be used on scars.

Just checked the ingredients... some pretty good stuff that you could probably find at a health store in a mineral oil base. I try to avoid mineral oil as part of my skin care routine, but that's just a personal preference.
