So I purchased this product when I was was pregnant cause it was suppose to help with stretch marks and help keep your skin nice and smooth. Well I still have heaps of stretch marks and my skin just felt oily. Took forever to absorb into my skin and I'm pretty sure most of it ended up being absorbed by my clothes. You don't need much of the product so it lasts forever but I ended up throwing it away as I didn't like it.

i am in two minds over this product, i saw a slight difference in scars but really not as much as i was expecting. I have a feeeling that if you used this through pregnancy it might deter stretch marks.
I couldn't wait to try this product when it first came out. I had a couple of surgery scars and stretchmarks that I wanted to get rid of. I used it daily for three months and waited for the magic to happen!! Alas, no change at all, surgery scars and stretchmarks were still there. This did however, make my skin in that area softer but this product certainly didn't deliver. Have not and will not be purchasing this product again.
Tips: Don't get your hopes up with this product if you are looking to get rid of stretchmarks.
I have quite a lot of stretch marks so when I saw this hit the market I was over the moon with joy! I used almost two bottles and saw barely any results. I did on the other hand see results when I applyed to a new scar, the scar faded! After the two bottles were empty I did not continue using this product.
I've used it a lot but it doesn't reduce or make stretchmarks disappear. It's a fantastic all over moisturiser though. It makes your skin soft and feel really healthy.
Tips: Put on just after a bath or shower it soaks in nicer :)
I have had bio oil for years & i use it most nights around my eyes & i believe it does keep area hydrated. I certainly notice when i havent used it. I did try on acne scars but i found this seemed to cause more breakouts, i guess because of its oily nature. I dont have stretch marks so cant comment on that. I do need to buy some more so best i do
I had heard that Bio Oil did great things to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Bio Oil is easy to use, it applies easily across large areas of affected skin. By comparison to rosehip oil, I found it had an overly oily and greasy consistency, often leaving marks on my clothes. I applied Bio to my hips daily for several weeks unitl I had run out. Over this period I notice little change to my stretch marks. I'm not sure if this is because I have had them for a long time, and my use of Bio Oil needed to be more sustained to make a difference.
Tips: I personally find Rosehip Oil better for reducing the appearance of strech marks!
I really love this but like all oils that say they will fix everything, they take time an are not a miracle. I actually had to ask someone what the best way to use this was, because applying it straight on I was not getting good coverage an it is too expensive to waste. I love the smell an how soft it makes your skin feel an once I knew how to use it properly I found it wonderful, my skin started changing an I could actually see a difference most days.
Tips: Apply a very small amount to your body directly after a shower or bath whilst still wet rub all over and wait a minute or so before dabbing dry with a towel. I found night time was the best for this an got better results.
I purchased a bottle of bio oil in hope that it would reduce the appearance of the stretch marks on my stomach and hips. I wasn't expecting them to vanish, just to fade.
I felt really let down, especially after seeing the ads TV and all the promises of reduced scaring that were made.
After using the entire bottle (200ml) I honestly saw no difference to the scaring.
I brought this when I was pregnant with my first child. I found it so oily even with using only a tiny bit. So I found stretch mark cream was so much easier and nicer to use than oil. It took hours to soak in and I was just felt feelin oily and yucky
