Chicken pox scars, bio oil?

Someone has suggested I use bio oil on 16month dd to reduce the scaring, she had them about 4 weeks ago now and there are 4 on her forehead and eyebrow. Any tips welcome, many thanks

I've heard of people using Bio Oil on children to reduce scars. Personally, I wouldn't as it's all petrochemical based and I'm not happy using that on little ones, or me for that matter. I'd recommend PhytaOil, it's basically the same in that it helps to reduce scarring etc but it's all natural containing rosehip extract and vitamin E. It's just a much nicer product in my opinion. If you fancy trying it you can get free samples at the moment. And it also comes in a lotion which may actually be easier to apply to your dd's face.

They were not infected but just look like little craters in her eyebrow line. I'll try wheatgerm before the Phytacol as there are no free samples at present. Thanks
