Bio Oil

I was so excited when I heard about Bio Oil and absolutely couldn't wait to try it...but after about 3 months of using it as directed with little to no results I gave up. I was using it mainly to try and fade some acne scarring on my back and I had no visible results above natural fading just a lot of time spent feeling sticky...it is a very messy product to work with! Unfortunately though I'm still on the hunt for a scar product that works.

I have heard so many great things about bio oil, it's supposed to do wonders! But I HATE it! I religiously applied it every day for over a year to a scar I had on my knee and it did absolutely nothing for me. Around 10 years later and the scar is still obvious!

In all fairness I did a mighty good job in skinning the whole top of my knee right down to the bone, so I shouldn't have been expecting a miracle, but with all of the hype I had heard, I had hope.

I wouldn't purchase again - it made NO difference

Bio Oil has been in the bathroom cupboard for as long as I can remember.

It comes in a plastic container that for the most part firmly contains the oil but occassionally allows leaks between the bottle and the lid.

The oil itself is a light orange and has a gentle scent.

In my family we have also used it at some stage. I used it for stretch marks for a long time and cannot say I noticed any significant difference. My brother also used it for a scar which over about 2 years faded to nearly invisible.

Now I do not know if our differing results were due to him being a kid at the time and his skin growing and stretching the scar out, or if it was that the bio oil is better on scars.

I would say this product is worth a go, but results really do vary.

I have used this on and off for a few years. I haven't noticed that it has made any difference to stretch marks but it is a pleasant moisturiser. I've often used it before travelling to make sure my skin is moisturised properly before a skin drying long haul flight. Is a decent product but I prefer other skin oils currently on the market.

A super body moisturiser particularly around the neck and on the decolletage. The fragrance is not extraordinary but this is the only very small criticism I have of this product.

Great moisturiser, very oily, it gave me a really nasty rash so stopped using it, I do have sensitive skin though.

I used Bio Oil for a few weeks in an attempt to reduce the appearance of minor stretch marks. The bottle is pretty standard, however a screw top lid is not ideal when you are left with oily hands. I also found it difficult to control how much product was dispensed, and almost always ended up with too much. The oil has almost no scent, isn't luxurious to use and feels like it is sitting on top of the skin. It leaves a very oily residue, which would be okay if it was only being applied to a small scar.

I used Bio Oil for a few weeks, and noticed no difference in my stretch marks, however I wouldn't expect to for this period of time. I replaced my standard body butter with Bio Oil for that area of my skin, and I found that it become dehydrated. Not flaky or dry, but certainly dull and dehydrated. I stopped using Bio Oil after reading the ingredients and deciding that it was something that I no longer wanted to apply to my body.

Used it through my pregnancy and helped my skin stay soft but didn't help with stretch marks! Lol also used as a face moistiser as i had uneven skin tone but didn't help there either, plus its quite pricey!

I have stretch marks on my inner thighs and even though they don't bother me too much, I'd prefer it if they disappeared. I tried regular massaging with this oil. IT DID NOTHING. I don't understand how it can claim to do the things it's supposed to do. If you're using this more as a moisturiser that's not too bad but there are plenty of other oils in the market now you can pick from.

I used it from the start of my pregnancy till I was about 6months then I found a product that actually worked. It was the biggest waste of money and totally over priced. It did absolutely nothing and did nothing it said it would.
