I used Bio Oil religiously when I was pregnant. Within a month a noticed my skin was alot softer and more supple. Once my stretch marks started appearing as my belly got bigger I used it more frequently but it didn't seem to help. I definitely would recommend people give it a go, whether for stretch marks or scars, as every body is different so I do believe it works on some people.

Reviews
I used Bio Oil through my 1st 2 pregnancies and found that it made my skin supple but really oily. I think it did help reduce my stretch mark appearance as i did not use it in my last 2 pregnancies and have noticed the difference that they have not faded as well as when i used it. I think it depends on your skin and the frequency in what you use it. I would say give it a try there is no harm in doing so.
I am not sure this helps with stretch marks but I put on a scar several times and the middles of it seemed to fade it does take a while to absorb which makes you think most of it is going to endup in your clothes the scent is not bad it can be a little pricey well it was when it first came out this is a popular product but i think it would be better if it absorbed into skin faster
I used bio oil for a long time hoping it would get rid of my stretch marks and after a long period of time (1 year) it only slightly faded them. It smells lovely and makes my skin nice and soft. I think it's over priced for what it is and the affect it has on your skin. I use aargan oil instead and it's been working a lot better. It is a OK product with and average affect so I give Bio Oil a straight 3/5 for everything.
Tips: Experiment with other oils they do the same thing.
I have some bad scarring on my arms, and was told that Bio Oil was the absolute best product to use on them. However three months later I have not seen the difference I was hoping for. Yes they have gone down a little bit, but I didn't find this nearly as successful as everyone told me it would be. It is really oily, and it takes a while before the skin you have applied it to loses that horrible shiny look. It does smell nice though, so I guess that is an upshot. I will keep using it until someone recommends something better though.
Tips: I am really bad at remembering to apply it, so I keep it beside my bed to remind me first thing in the morning, and as I am climbing into bed at night.
I purchased Bio Oil for stretch marks, and I definitely wouldn't rate it. I didn't find it really helped, and I've found Rosehip oil works far better, in terms of getting rid of stretch marks.
I've been using this product for so long. i havent seen a significant change in my stretch marks, but i do enjoy having nice baby soft skin. the smell is pleasant too!. i also use bio oil for my leg after i shave..it helps my legs from getting black head ( when your hair folicles get blocked). I will continue to use this again , But only becuase it smells great and leaves my skin soft.
I purchased bio oil with the hopes that I would see a massive reduction in the appearance of my many scars on my body. I applied religiously twice daily for three weeks and can report that my scars have slightly changed in appearance. I find it hard to say that it reduced the size of the scars as I feel they have just become less noticeable now that they slightly match my skin tone more. Not sure about this one!
I used this product during and after my pregnancy. It did not help prevent stretch marks at all i am covered in them. However after my pregnancy i did see a lot of difference when using bio oil, the catch was i only started seeing results after applying it 3 or more times daily and really rubbing it in for a good ten minutes. I don't like that this product isn't a natural product. I found that places where i had applied bio oil made my skin feel a lot more rough than usual.
I used my Bio oil twice daily for 3 and a half months to reduce the appearance of the stretchmarks i got during teen years.
The product feels lovely and soft. You don't need alot of it to spread it over a large area. It smells lovely and soft, and has a nice colour and consistency. Unfortunately I didn't see much of a difference in the appearance of my stretchmarks...at all
Tips: Rub it into your cuticles and nails to keep them healthy and free from loose skin things and dryness. My nails felt stronger after using it like this
