Expensive!

I'm a big fan of body oil, but I wasn't overly impressed with this one. In all fairness, my sister had some success treating scars with this, but from research of the ingredients I'm not sure that Bio-oil would be any better than other body oils at treating scars. Certainly when I was pregnant my doctor said stretch marks are genetic and there is no product I could use to prevent them - despite the extensive Bio-oil advertising to the contrary.

Basically this oil is fine, and will help moisturise your skin and aid healing of scars, but I don't think it works any better than cheaper body oils.

Bio Oil

I brought this after hearing it was good for scars and I had 3rd degree burns on my fingers. Comes in a plastic bottle that's clear so you can see the oil it has a lovely pinky colour and the smell is very nice to I used it for a couple of weeks daily and ended up with no scarring and nice soft hands. The only thing I found was it can get messy would be better with a pump so the oil doesn't get all over the bottle and everything else. I will purchase more love it just as an overall moisturizer for the whole body.

Tips: Pays to put the bottle on a paper towel or something when using it so it doesn't mark anything

Bio Oil

I used Bio Oil religiously while I was pregnant from about 12 weeks & I did not get a single stretch mark. This product is fantastic but I did use it every day; morning & night so it did end up getting pretty expensive. I ended up using 2 small bottles & 1 medium bottle & by the time you're near the end of your pregnancy you have to use quite a bit to cover your tummy, hips & thighs. However it does make your skin nice & supple so if you can afford it I'd definitely recommend it.

Tips: When you're pregnant start using it early before your belly grows to minimise the risk of getting stretch marks.

It's a good product but you do need to use a lot for it to do it's job. Is quite expensive so for the amount you use it's not quite worth it. The bottle would be better with a pump so you don't loose to much out of the bottle. The product absorbs into your skin really well which is what the bottle says. So that's good

Tips: No tips

Bio Oil - Review

I decided to try some of this a while ago after hearing what 'incredible results' it had for surgery scars, and recently having had surgery, I got sucked in.

This comes in a little bottle, there isn't a pump or anything you just tip the bottle to get a little bit out. It is very oily, and tends to get all over the bottle when you use it despite how hard you try not to which is pretty annoying. It doesn't have much of a scent. I found this glides onto my skin easily but doesn't absorb fast, it just sits there and sometimes wipes off onto my clothing. I noticed a bit of a difference in my surgery scars but not a huge difference, and so I'm wondering if another oil would work better.

Overall I probably wouldn't purchase this again. It just didn't work for me and didn't make a big enough difference to justify the price. It also became really messy which was quite annoying.

Lovely

I first tried Bio Oil after the birth of my daughter to try and rid my stomach of dreaded stretch marks. What surprised me most about this oil was the smell it was just delightful and the texture was like silk on my skin. It turned my skin into soft butter it was lovely after a hot shower. Did it remove stretch marks? Well I still have them but they are significantly faded.

Tips: Use after a hot shower just before bed. The gorgeous smell will help even the most tired new mother.

Works great on Scars

I have used this in the past on a burn scar on my hand. It worked well for me when I used it regularly and it has a nice light fragrance to it

Bio Oil

Disappointed......I used this for the few stretch marks I do have and I didn't notice a difference at all. I felt greasy and yuk! I was attacked by a dog in my twenties and used it on the scars on my arm with no noticeable difference.

Great for scars

I used this on my scars for some time and it made the healing process so much smoother. Even though the process was much longer than I would have liked, there is no faster treatments for scars, I don't believe that my scars would be so subtle without the use of Bio oil. I like that this product is not to oily to touch and smells great-but not to overpowering like many other products are.

Tips: Use on your scars daily, especially after showering, for a long term solution treatment for visible scarring. =)
