Bio Oil

Like everyone, I initially used Bio-Oil in the hopes of preventing stretch marks. I can't say it *absolutely* didn't work - I didn't get stretch marks around my belly button, which is mostly where I applied it - but I did get them very low on my abdomen and round my hips, where I hadn't applied it as religiously. Legitimate correlation or just the way I carried? No idea.

But! Several months ago I started using it on my legs and elbows in the vain hope it'd help my psoriasis. It didn't even claim to help psoriasis, but nothing else was working and I figured it was worth a shot.

Well, it took a while, but my plaques are now completely gone. To be honest, it might have been the strict moisturising regimen as much as the actual content of the moisturiser... but it worked! Smooth elbows for the first time in years.

I've also noticed that a dab on my face helps heal acne scars quickly, as well as being a nice light moisturiser.

I know this stuff's controversial, but I like it... for certain purposes. And as much as it costs, it's cheaper than rosehip oil.

I have been using this product for quite some time now but am yet to see any difference to the appearance of the marks. The smell is quite strong and the oil takes a while to soak in so is best to apply of an evening before bed as to not get on your clothes. The bottle is quite simple but for some reason it seems to always leak with the twist off lid.

I would not recommend this product as after using it for 6+ months I have not seen any noticeable difference to the appearance of stretch marks.

I love bio oil. I used it when my son got second degree burns at age 5. It worked on him and he hasn't got a scar in sight. I also use Bio oil on my cuticles. I also use it in my moisturiser just a drop, in winter when my skin is a bit more dry. I put in my night cream too. My skin feels fantastic. When I don't use I can feel the difference. I have recommended to my friends too and they all rave about how there skin feels since using it. I wouldn't recommend using it if you have oily skin this way.

I used this for months. I bought multiple bottles and applied religiously every day. I really stuck to it but this stuff did nothing except cost far too much! Next time I want cheap smelling mineral oil I'll buy it at the dollar store. It didn't nourish my skin, just felt greasy and smelt really artificial. It also made no difference whatsoever to my scarring or stretch marks which iswwhy I began using it.

I use this mainly on very dry skin and it really helps as well as a massage oil since it is such a fine oil. I love the smell of it too. I hasn't done anything for scars/stretch marks for me but I don't use it religiously enough to judge that really. So I would recommend for dry skin but not so much for the other things it is advertised towards.

Definitely one of the best products to relieve dry and itchy skin. My husband used this twice daily after skin surgery on his nose and massaged it in well. The scaring is now only noticeable to those that know the surgery ever occurred. Amazing results and a great product.

This product claims to work on scars and dark marks. It also takes time. I used this miracle stuff over a period of four months. My daughter used it for the same period for some scars she wasn't happy with. I don't know if it was the massage motion or the actual oil, but in both cases, her scars faded, my facial scars faded and some pigmentation also faded. You don't need to use a lot, just a few drops, so it does work out to be economical. It smells pleasant and I have since bought more, and given some to a sister who had a bad accident requiring surgery. This stuff worked for me when Rosehip oil was too much for my skin. So...even though I naturally prefer natural products, this oil actually worked really well for both of us.

I was so sadly disappointed with this oil. I had a lot of stretch marks from my younger years which I used bio oil on for months with no results. It has really only been time that has healed them for me. Now I have a ton more high on my belly from my pregnancy but I wont be reaching for the Bio oil. I didn't really enjoy the application of the oil. It was overly greasy and did not feel like it ever really absorbed fully which made my clothes stick to it & made me feel quite gross. It was more suited to a massage oil in my opinion or a bath oil but with the price tag it carries you can find cheaper options which will work just as well. It has made me wonder why you never see before & after photos with the Bio Oil advertising...

Did nothing for me. I got one of the big bottles. Had high hopes; only to be disappointed. Didn't even make my stretch marks seem less prominent after finishing the whole bottle. Basically paid a lot of money for a lot of nothing. I wouldnt recommend this to anyone.
