Won't work: It's an oil and will change the way light reflects off your skin, fooling you into thinking the scar has been altered. I'm glad you're being effectively treated for your acne. If you wish, a dermatologist can make the scars less visible, or you may join the hollywood leading men who've chosen to keep their for the "tough guy" look.

Myth but use if help: Many of my patients swear by the benefits of tea tree or bio-oil and so i generally don't dissuade them but there is very little science to support its use. It is probably the massage, (which we know helps scars) that is used to apply the oil, which is actually providing the improvements observed. Massage with any clean oil 3-4 times a day. Silicon gel trips are morel likely to improve the scar.

No science: To show or prove that this application of bio oil actually works.
