Years ago I fell badly down stairs and had a painful scar on my knee. I had scar reconstructive surgery and the pain was gone, though redness remained. My surgeon recommended using bio oil twice daily and massage for 5-10 minutes. It did help to soften the scar over time

Tips: Don't just apply it. Massage it in.
Really good oil which helps make the skin smooth, soft and helps with stretch marks. Help the scars also.
My pregnancy go to 18 years ago !! And it's now still a staple in my cabinet. A little bit goes a long way. The smell is great.A safe and natural product which I like.
Skin felt very dry and not nourished at all, didn't really like the smell and there was no visible changes to my skin tone or stretchmarks. Bottle also feels very cheaply made.
Tips: None
I don't actually use bio oil on my body, I use it on my face! It honestly works as the best facial oil. It soaks in, leaves face feeling soft and I always get compliments on my skin the next day!
Tips: I only use as a face oil a few times a week, not every day as I am prone to oily skin
Didnt work for me at all ended up using as a massage oil instead of a stretch mark oil. Made my skin abit itchy but that might just be stretcb marks also had some scars no luck there either
I read that they worked miracles on stretch marks and scars. I used it predominantly for scars and did nothing! except make my skin oily.
Bio Oil is well marketed in NZ to be THE oil for erasing stretch marks post pregnancy. Their marketing division should be applauded, they really have done a great job convincing us there is nothing else more superior. That’s why they can charge $30… we assume they have the lock on this market… but oh are so many disappointed. I’ve recently lost 30kg and in doing so, have created marks on my skin that I had hoped, bio oil would fulfil my dreams of erasing. I could even overlook the stench of this product, if only it was effective. Seriously though, what’s with that smell??!! Why that’s crude oil of course! Yes, that’s right… a specifically isolated part of petroleum. Lavender, calendula and camomile oils are there too but I can’t get past that petroleum. And does it work? Not particularly. In the end, I can find literally dozens of other products out there, that are more effective, smell great, natural and don’t feature crude oil!
Tips: Throw it out and pick up a body oil or creme that features retinol / vitamin A and Hyaluronic acid. To prevent them, consider using a product with centella - this herb shows promise in prevention.
This is my ‘go to’ in ensuring my scars are less visible. It does require you to massage this into the scar daily but over time it definitely improves the appearance. Hang in there. I am always recommending this to family and friends.
Used this on my entire body during pregnancy, especially on my baby bump. My skin felt so soft after application and I felt like it helped with stretch marks. Would recommend!
