I tend to use these oils as my "Oil Cleansing Method" once or twice a week. This one may be worth looking at if you don't want to spend big bucks. Osiris Avise (think that was a Lidl brand??) Recovery Oil.
I've seen the Osiris Avise oil in £1 shops, Home Bargains, Savers and the like. Had a bottle put away in my bathroom cabinet.

i think the problem is that people pop it on in the hope that itll 'magic' the scar/ or whatever, away, like a mysterious balm or ointment. currently nursing my boy through bruns scars, ive learnt that the real goodness is in the quality of the massage, not necessarily the ointment, which makes the difference. ive tried Bio oil, infact i bought it recently, but struggled to get a good quality massage with it, so for me, i didnt get on with it. i prefer a good aqueous cream tbh.

There's a ton of methods for dealing with scars (acne in my case).
I've tried Vaculifters (they're suction devices that massage the skin, bone and apparently help to rebuild collagen, Dermarollers (bit of a nightmare, you have to use numbing cream but it's still not fun), even at-home laser devices like Palovia and Philips' Reaura. Some hardy souls use diabetic needles to break up scars.
Topicals such as Bio Oil or Retin-A apparently help remodelling, but I've never had any miracle skin recovery occur. My skin probably looks better but it definitely doesn't look "cured".

If you're willing to spend £6 on this. At least look into a 100% cold pressed oils... In fact basic sweet almond oil will work better and cost less and like someone rightly said before, the movement is actually what's important

Plenty of fakes on ebay
My brother's looking for some for a football scar, a nurse recommended it to him.
