This product is a big bogus waste of money. If it's going to do ANYTHING for improving your skin texture or scarring, it's only because you're more actively moisturising and massaging that area.

Tips: Skip this!
Both my sister and i have used this product, and it is amazing. My sister used it after having my nephew,and it greatly reduced her stretch marks. I have used it for all sorts of things,including sratches, acne scars,
All this product does is moisturize. It doesn't help scars or stretch marks either. I used this generously during and after both of my pregnancies, but didn't get the desired results.It is quite costly too. I like the smell though.
I used this while pregnant, it done nothing but moisturize my skin which still wasn't great as I did feel itchy after using it, it also stained my sheets when I applied it before bed, overall I really think this product is a waste of time as it is quite highly priced and it doesn't seem to me to be doing anything it promises in my eyes
I have used bio oil with great success in the past on burns to my tattoo sleeve that I didn't want to scar (as a chef I get burnt A LOT). Some fairly severe burns are now barely perceptible. I also used this during my pregnancy and didn't get stretch marks but I wasn't at all religious about it so I'm sure that's more luck than diligence. Bio oil does make a lovely all over moisturiser but having discovered coconut oil I would recommend that first.
Tips: I've used a tiny bit of Bio oil on my face as a makeshift primer to help foundation blend before it worked great and gave a lovely dewey finish. Careful not to use too much and look like a grease slick though
I use this product because I have a lot of scars from previous surgeries that have turned hypertrophic. I have been using it for awhile now but I have not noticed much change- probably because my scars are huge. My sister also uses Bio Oil- she has a smaller scar from previous surgery that hasn't turned hypertrophic- She has found that it has helped. It has turned her scar lighter and it is slowy disappearing.
Tips: I think Bio Oil is good for small scars but it is definitely not a complete cure to get rid of scars! Use silicone sheets with Bio Oil :)
I don't see the hype around this product. I have used it on many of my scars repeating application for long period of time and never saw a difference! I didn't like the smell of it and found that by bottle leaked a lot. I also found that it never really soaked into my skin properly and would leave a greasy layer. I was really disappointed with this product.
I got hit by a car which damaged the appearance of my skin on my calf. I used Bio Oil on it and it has definitely faded over time. It has a nice non greasy feel to it
Tips: Great to apply to face every now and again
This product is not good at all. When my daughter was 5 she fell over and hit her head on the corner of a skip bin, splitting her head open above her eyebrow. After it had healed it was recommended that we use Bio Oil on her scar to make it fade. It did nothing at all, and after a few weeks use she had a sever re-action to it and where we had been applying it she got severe blisters. I will never again purchase this product, and never recommend it to anyone!
At first when i bought this a few years ago i loved it! I loved the smell, texture, glide, and afterfeel of this. I used it religously on scars and on my growing baby bump, but found during pregnancy that it would worsen the itchy skin so i switched to another product which was a lot nicer. I had already at that stage purchased the next 2x bottles; trying to be organised... they are still unopened. It is nice to add a few drops to a bath to soften the water but I couldn't use it daily like I was before. Doesn't improve skin texture nor reduce scars as it claims. I have since found a product that works wonders instead.
Tips: Use as a massage oil as it glides well. if you don't like the scent add a few drops of essential oils that you do like
