I used Bio Oil for my first pregnancy and came through with barely any stretch marks. On my second pregnancy used Bio Oil for awhile until it ran out and then just used a really rich moisturiser and at the end also barley had a mark. Not sure after using both whether Bio Oil is any better than a good old moisturiser - think maybe the answer is just keeping your skin moist and supple while is continually stretching.

Reviews
I was recommended by a friend to try bio oil to help combat ingrown hairs. We had both been recommended a product by our beauty therapist but found this didn't work so well and was very chemically. Bio oil works a treat!! less ingrown's and if you do get them much easier to get out.
I wouldn't use this product again, I tried it on stretch marks for quite a few months with no change. I feel like it just sits on top of the skin and doesn't soak in. After doing some research I found that it contains ingredients which aren't good for you so decided to stop using it.
My Mum bought this for me for my first pregnancy. I used it all the time, I can't stand the smell now because I associate it with morning sickness. But even using it religiously I still ended up with stretch marks. When I had to have surgery I thought I would use it on the fresh scar, but again, it didn't do anything. Really don't feel that it is up to the hype.
Brought the large bottle of this a few years ago as I have stretch marks on my thighs, I had high expectations from what the packaging says but I was disappointed. I used it after showering everyday until it was empty and apart from making the stretch marks go white quicker (they all eventually do this anyway) it didn't do much at all. I wouldn't bother to use again.
I have a lot of scars on my legs and stretch marks by bikini line. After 4 years of using bio oil. Ive decided to stop.
PROS: leave skin smooth
CONS: NOT EFFECTIVE AT ALL
yes, what a waste of 4 years. I keep buying it just so I can give it more chances, but I had enough.
I found Bio Oil to be greasy and I didn't like the smell. I think I have been over eager squirting it out of the bottle as well. Definitely has not deminished stretch marks or scarring. I know things don't happen overnight but I am on my second bottle and just feel like I am wasting my time.
Personally, I found that this done nothing for me. It did not do as promised - I used it quite a bit and it done nothing for my scars whatsoever. Very disappointed :(
I used this twice a day while pregnant to reduce the appearance of stretch marks after using for several months the only difference was my skin felt softer. Highly disappointed with this product as its not very cheap and does not do as stated
I used bio oil religiously while pregnant on my tummy to hep avoid stretch marks. Came out the other side of pregnancy with no major stretch marks and fully believe it was due to bio oil use I also use it on dry skin spot of myself and by toddler. Love this product as it is doesn't leave a too oily residue (even though it is an oil) it also doesn't have an odour either. Only thing is that it isn't cheap, would love it to be a little more cost friendly.
