I love the smell!

I am addicted to the smell of Bio Oil. Although it reduces the appearance of stretch marks, it doesnt make them disappear... which they never really will. My thighs have stretch marks on them and they have reduced them to white if I use this everyday. Otherwise they slowly change back to a pink/purple colour.

Tips: If this doesn't work for you, it is said that Cocoa butter has the same (if not better) properties at reducing stretch marks. They will never fully disappear unfortunately, but they will slowly fade to a white/skin tone colour... with constant care that is.

Dissappointed :(

I have attempted to use this product many times over the years. At first when puberty hit and I got awful stretch marks on my hips and legs and lastly with stretchmarks during and after pregnancy.

I find the packaging leaks very easily and many times I have had to clean up an oily mess in my bathroom cupboard!

After applying Bio Oil, it takes a REALLY long time to absorb and it leaves you feeling very oily. I wouldn't recommend this product if you enjoy feeling fresh and clean after a shower.

After a long period of using this product, I saw no difference. Once I had my daughter I battled to find time to even apply the product as it takes so long to absorb you cant get dressed.

I really wouldn't recommend this product. I thought because of it's price it would work, but it's really not worth it! :(

Bio oil

I used it with the aim to assist with scars. I haven't seen any improvement in scars in the two years I've used it. My skin has always been prone to dehydration since my first pregnancy and I must admit it has been great for hydration.

Not for me

After reading the glowing testimonials for this product, I used it throughout my pregnancy and after in regards to stretch marks. It did nothing to prevent giant angry stripes from appearing and did nothing to reduce their appearance. Perhaps it works for scars and dry skin but I found it no use at all. There's a few products out there formulated specifically for stretchmarks, perhaps have them at hand as well if you find Bio-Oil just doesn't make the cut.

Tips: Prepare to get messy, slimy and sticky.

Didn't work for me

I jumped on the bio oil band wagon when I was pregnant with my daughter, I used it at least twice a day every day for around 7 months of my pregnancy and probably about 6 months after. Unfortunately it didn't do anything for me to either reduce stretchmarks occuring or lighten them once I'd got them. This is a nice smelling, subtle product, it absorbs relatively easily for an oil product and I found it did help reduce the itchniness I felt across my stomach while I was pregnant. I dont think I'd use it again.

Hit and Miss

I originally bought this product after hearing such great reviews about it being no. 1 for stretch marks, but I have to say, I’m not all that convinced on their claims. I have been using it on my hips and thighs for a number of months and have not seen an improvement. I must say however, I haven’t seen them get worse either. Despite this fact, I am still happy to continue using this oil and will probably still repurchase next winter. My skin is quite dry and sensitive at times and I have found the oil to be quite good in relieving my rough dry skin. I use it underneath my moisturiser and it doesn’t leave any oily residue. It smells nice, and the packaging is fine, it would just be a little better if the lid was different as it gets slippery to open after a while with oily hands! A must have for me over the winter months, but maybe not so much during summer.

Tips: Apply under moisturised for extra depth.

Go to Scar Repair

This is my go to scar repair solution.

I tend to use it during the Summer months when my legs are exposed. I do motorcross, so over the years have had some quite deep scars on my body from it. Bio Oil is my go to "fix it" oil. It really does help with repairing the skin and toning out the uneven skin tone.

It's very light and easy to apply. Only a small amount is needed to cover the affected areas, leaving the product to last you a long period of time. Bio Oil leaves your skin feeling smooth and soft.

I do think that it is pricey, the Warehouse sometimes have specials on it, so look out for these deals.

Comes in a see through bottle, i transfer the contents into a small spray bottle, this makes it super easy to apply to the area in need, and will allow just the right amount, as the bottle tends to give more than is needed.

I would recommend this product to all.

Tips: Pour the Bio Oil into a small spray bottle, making it easier to apply.

Not all it's made out to be

This product comes in a variety of sizes. 3 in total. It comes in a tidy and attractive box with a list of preventatives and what the product can help reduce the visibility of. It has instructions on how to use the product. I used this product for 6 months solid on my very dark and prominent stretch marks on my stomach and hips. (3x 200ml bottles) and did not notice any clear results. After showering, and applying religously I do not deem this product as great as it's advertised.

Tips: Maybe a longer trial period could help make results more noticeable
