bio oil - on your face?

Hello,

Does anyone use bio oil on their face? I love how it leaves my neck and any dry areas soft and smooth but am not sure about using it on my face?
I'd like to use it around my eyes they feel so dry and I've tried so many products with no standout results.

Any thoughts appreciated

I use it for scarring on my face that I got after being in ITU 2 years ago. Is it working?? - I'm not sure, but it has made the scar tissue more supple. I wouldn't go too close to your eyes though.

I used to use it for my rather dehydrated and acne prone skin and it wasn't bad at all. Sadly, once I tried the clarins facial oils there was no going back- I found them much much better.

I used to use it for about 18months straight and have to say the effects were great. I'm not really sure why I stopped actually... Heads to Superdrug

Yes. used it on a surgical scar/skin flap on my face and had great results. Also on dry skin on my nose!

thanks. I love how soft it makes my skin.

sarah, i'm new to oils of any kind really and am not using it for anything other than the driest of dry skin. Perhaps I should checkout the clarions one too.

I've also hear Rose hip oil is good?

I used to because I had some in the cupboard and couldn't think what else to do with it and it did make my skin v soft. But it also clogged up all my pores and seeing as it's basically mineral oil it wasn't really doing anything more useful on my skin, it's now been replaced by products that actually do stuff.

For scarring you need a retinol or silicone product like Kelocote.
