I went into this with big expectations because there was a lot of hype about the product. I also found that it did not then meet my expectations. For the price and the amount of product given I do not think it is value for money. The product itself did not reduce my marks and so I discontinued use. It has a nice natural fragrance but not quite the wonder product people raved about.

Reviews
I used this a while ago to try and reduce the look of my stretch marks. Firstly I will say I really didn't like the feel of it I know its bio OIL but I didn't like it, it also from memory didn't smell great either. I wouldn't put it on if going out incase it rubbed on clothes, I probably didn't use it long enough to see results maybe used it about a week but just wasn't a fan. I would try it again just to see if it would work but maybe ask a close relative to apple it instead. A little does go along way though so I guess that's a plus
I do believe it does what it says it does (as in reducing the appearance of scars and stretch marks etc) however I dislike how oily and greasy it leaves my skin feeling, it just does not seem to want to absorb completely, which makes me feel gross.. Ive only used it a handful of times, however each time ive found myself grabbing a towel and wiping the excess off (which doesn't help much) or jumping back into the shower to clean it off. I personally don't like it, however I know a lot of people swear by it.. Its really something you have to try yourself and make your own opinion on.
Tips: Apply an hour or two before a shower, to give it time to work its magic, before washing of any left over residue.
This product works really well. Its smells so nice and is a really light dry oil that goes a long way. I used it during both of my pregnancies and it prevented me from getting any stretch marks which was much appreciated. I have since used it on scars which it has healed and as a moisturizer also. I really enjoy using this product and will continue to do so in future.
I used bio oil for the first time when I was like 16 and it was not what I expected. I thought my skin would feel good,i thought it would absorb, i thought there would be some sort of difference but no. Could be different for others. I dont have sensitive skin but it left the area i applied to rubbery and yuck. But like i said, could be fab for someone else!
Tips: Ask someone witha similar,skin type what they thought. Dont waste your money!
So I have mixed feelings about this product. I think it does what it's supposed to do but its not all natural as the name suggests. Mineral oil content bothers me. On the bright side it provides superb hydration and lightens scars definitely. My sister swears by it. It doesn't clog pores/cause acne. I wish it didn't have mineral oil..I'd use it more often then.
I first tried this when i got pregnant with my first child and didn't notice and change, i decided to try again with my second thinking i didn't use it right so i read all the instructions and still didn't do anyanything for me
I found Bio Oil to be amazing. It was a product that actually did what it says it does. Although a tad on the pricey side it is well worth it, leaves skin feeling great with a noticable difference.
Tips: Use straight after showering or even add a few drops to your bath water
I didn't notice any difference to my stretch marks after using this product, perhaps it was the product itself or I just didn't simply use it for long enough but it didn't have much effect at all. Judging by other reviews it seems many of you ladies have had similar results. I guess if you want to try this product it's totally up to you, but I say do your research and maybe find alternate products/ methods to reducing stretch marks/ scars.
I used this on my stretchmarks also other dry areas of skin and while it was moisturizing I cant say there was any difference in appearence of stretchmarks or uneven skintone. It also doesnt smell very nice in my opinion. Just not realy my cupa tea so I wont be repurchasing.
