Hi

I finally hit Wallgreens today and picked up bio-oil on sale
I plan to use it on my stretch marks but am a little hesitant to use it on my face since I am breakout prone...
Has anyone else tried it...any results (yet)

Thanks, kim

    I just bought some bio-oil yesterday after I read the post a couple of days ago. I started on my face - but I use Proactiv, which is a three-step process morning and night.
    Proactiv uses a cleanser as step 1. A toner is step 2, and a lotion is step 3. The lotion is actually the more important of the three, because that is what is meant to help control the breakouts. So last night I did the first 2 steps, and used bio-oil instead of step 3. This morning I didn't use the oil at all. The bio-oil says to use it twice a day, so I need to work into my routine somehow - does anyone else do this? Or anyone have any suggestions?

    I might suggest that you continue to use the proactive on your face and just use the bio-oil on your body. I was using the Bio-Oil on my face, and got a big "under the skin" pimple by my nose (I tend to break out around the nose/chin area)... just my thoughts!

    Yeah, I wanted to get some bio-oil but was thinking of not usin git on my face either. I tend to have breakouts any time I vary my regular skin regimine. I like to keep things clear if you know what I mean. But I am very excited to get some for my body! Woohoo! :happy:
