Can bio oil make my acne worse? I’ve tried it on a scar and I’ve had some spots appear around it.

Bio oil is a plant based oily mix. Since it's oily, it can clog pores and cause acne breakouts. If you still have active acne, it’s not a good idea to apply it to large areas of your face. I would suggest using it on small areas to test its efficacy on scars. For the rest of the face, used your anti-acne skincare routine.
