Has anyone used Bio Oil for scars?

I had to have a mole removed on my arm, and I have to say the scar does look a little better after a year of using it. Last year you could see the holes either side of the cut where the stitches were, this year they are more blurred. It's not recent, I have had that scar for years now and despaired of ever losing it as it does look weird in the summer when I get a bit of a tan, despite factor 50.

I've used wheatgerm oil for that in the past. The thing about Bio Oil is it lasts forever and you can use it on your face or hands or just about anywhere.

I've just had the stitches out from where I had the mole removed, and it's looking like it might be quite an ugly scar. In the Bio Oil ads it's shown as being good to reduce scars.

Any experience of it, anyone? It's not cheap so I thought I'd ask before splashing out.
