Bio Oil for Acne Scars?

[wimbly11]

Has anyone here tried bio oil for acne scars on your face? I've read conflicting reviews about it working great and others about it breaking people out more. Just wondering if anyone here had any personal experience?

I tried...if you have oily skin don't do it! It gave me pimples when I had finally cleared my skin up
I just leave the scars alone and slowly they fade on their own...

I think you'd be better off using an oil-free moisturizer if you really want to try something (something with vitamin E in it- vitamin E helps scars/stretchmarks). It could help without clogging pores like an oil would, so there's no risk of it happening again. By gently massaging where your scars are with the moisturizer you can speed up the fading process by breaking up scar tissue.

I wouldn't be putting something oily on my face for acne scars personally with the risk of making it worse. However, I suppose if your skin is pretty good now and you never/rarely suffer from acne you could try it.

Facials might also help if the scars are stubborn. Good luck

I have acne scars and have been using Bio Oil for about 2 year and love it...I have never gotten pimples from it..and I break out easily...can't use cheap makeup such as cover girl or my whole face becomes a pimple haha I use it to moisturize my whole face in the winter as well at night I LOVE bio oil!

Oh, mixed reviews once again!! lol I am hesitant to use it, I don't want to encourage more pimples as my face is nto agreeing with me lately....

Here's a different question, what makeup do you guys find best for your face? i've been using pur minerals, but right now I don't feel like it's giving me enough coverage.

I use Clinique Acne Solution foundtaion and I love it...its one of the best for my face. You can build it as much as you need, it doesn't feel oily and doesnt make me look like a oil fryer half way thru the day lol
I can only buy it here at Sephora bc Sears or The Bay don't sell it.

Here is the link to Sephora

Thanks Vee, I think I may try it. I just wish it was in a store somewhere so I can choose the right color!

[wimbly11]

Hmm I wonder if its in stores? Its the same price as at Sephora $30 I get sephora points so I go there lol But when clinique has there beauty buy thing I wanna go there!

Another thing is and I know its bad but sometimes once in a blue moon I don't wash my makeup off if I am super tired and I find the next morning my face is more clear haha Its like it has some clearing properties in it haha

[wimbly11]

I'm going to check the store before I order because then I can match the color. I want to try it now!! lol

Wimbly, The Bay sells it I bought it before but returned it since the colormatch was horrible:/

[wimbly11]

I don't have a Bay anywhere near me

Is it possible to find a sample?
Perhaps if you contact clinique they can send you some samples for the colour match before you buy.

[wimbly11]

Hmm, maybe I'll have to try that! I'm going to go to Sears tomorrow after work and see if they have it. If not maybe they can match me using another clinic foundation and then I can order offline

So my Sears does carry it, but won't have a lot of the shades in stock for another month or so. Because I'm so inpatient I decided to try the Super Balanced Makeup. Seems awesome so far, I'm really liking the lightweight feel and coverage!
