Have any of you ever tried Bio-oil for WHITE acne scars?

I can find a lot on the internet about reddish scars that people have used it on and say it works. However red scars will fade themselves in time anyways. I need to know if anyone has had success with WHITE scars! (it is different for white because all pigmentation has been lost). Any success using Bio-oi on these?Have any of you ever tried Bio-oil for WHITE acne scars?
hi there,


i would be careful with bio-oil....its not a typical acne or scar treatment...also it has ingredients that may actually exacerbate acne such isopropyl myristate....


Pigmentated spots are not the same as scarring (where collagen damage is involved). your white ';scars'; is what we would consider hypopigmentation, which can be very difficult to treat...also if they are ';raised'; they have an added level of complexity....


sorry for not having a real solution, i just wanted to give you more insight into the whole scarring vs pigmentation issue.
