Bio Oil

When Bio-Oil was released, it seemed to be amazing, it promised results, and the hype around this product was unlike anything else at the time (from memory anyway.. it was a long time ago).

This oil comes in a see through plastic container, which is a small cylinder in shape. It has a white plastic lid that screws off, to reveal a flat surface, with a small hole in it.

At first, i thought this design was silly and that the oil would just pour out. but because the hole is really small, the oil comes out more like drops than a steady stream so that's useful. However, the smooth shape to the white cap is annoying to close after you have applied the oil, because your hands are slippery so it's hard to close.

The oil is orange is colour, but see through at the same time. Its thicker than water, but not as thick as normal oils. I personally don't think it has a smell, not one that a notice anyway.

The way i use this product is by rubbing the oil on the areas i wanted, and massaging it in. However, i really feel like this oil doesnt massage in nicely, it just seems to move the oil around instead of the oil getting absorbed into my skin which is wierd. After awhile, the oil either gets absorbed, or gets wiped away.. who knows! All i know was the this product was a dissapointment.

I brought this oil to use on the stretch marks on my thighs, and this did nothing. I'm not sure if it just wasn't made for my scretch marks, if i was using it wrong, or if it was just a dud product. But either way, I won't be purchasing this again.

Bio Oil....

When I first purchased Bio Oil I was so positive, applied it all the time but it didn't sink into my skin it just left me feeling very "oily" on the areas I applied it (shoulders, tummy and lower back) As time went by, the oil level got lower but the only thing that was reducing was my enthusiasm.

For me Bio Oil was a let down and I will never purchase it again.

I was given a bottle lovingly after I complained about how bad my baby stretchmarks had got. The bottle is a bit meh, it's not horrible, but it doesn't excite you about using it. And the screw top is a bit silly when you try to do it back up again. There's not really a scent to the oil, it's just an oil scent. I kind want to feel like I'm using something special for something like this, so that was a bit of a let down. The oil itself, didn't feel nice on my skin. It didn't absorb easily, and felt really greasy for ages afterwards. I used it for about a month - and while I know that I'm not going to see dramatic improvement in that time, I think my skin got WORSE - it felt dry to the touch and a bit tight. The ingredients in it are offputting as well. Definitely not something I'll use again

This comes in a clear plastic bottle with a white screw lip and a stopper with a small hole which is really good as it allows the oil to be used in small amounts rather than a big blob. The smell is a light oily smell but not scented . which would be good for a lot of people. I have used this regularly and found it is OK but not great.I have dry skin so the oil penetrates quite quickly into my skin however it didn't seem to improve my skin so i didn't feel it was doing much for my skin as an improvement. I just bought the small bottle at the chemist which cost about $14 however id did last a while so I did not feel it was too expensive. I did try it on stretch marks and noticed no improvement so have reservations about purchasing again when there are so many other products out there to try.

I got this product for myself when my son was 3 years old, because of the stretch marks on my stomach and legs. I was excited to use this product as it had been, and still is, hyped up over commercials etc. I was highly disappointed. It comes in a plastic bottle that doesn't seem to hold the oil very well once the bottle has been opened the first time. The oil goes on your skin nicely but takes a long time to absorb, and the feeling of putting your clothes over it feels horrible. I used it for 3 months, didn't notice any change myself, so I would say it didn't work for me. Some people swear by this, so just because it didn't work for me, doesn't mean it may not work for you.

Bought it while pregnant and don't know if it was luck or the oil but didn't get any stretch marks. Also find it good on sun burn. Can be a bit pricey but a little goes a long way which mitigates the expense.

I brought it while pregnant and used it from the second trimester and it worked amazingly. I never got any stretch marks and after pi had my baby my skin went back to its normal elasticity very quickly! I also used it on some old acne scars which have disappeared! Only con about this product is it can be pricey but a little goes a really long way so it lasts for a long time.

I loved using bio oil whilst pregnant, it felt amazing on my skin. Although it didn't prevent stretch marks completely it definitely helped & they're quite faded now so I'm happy with that.

bio oil is one of those things you have to stick with for results, i use it for my acne and its great i put it on everynight before bed, in the start it will make your face breakout, only because its lifting out all the dirt to the surface , stick with it and it could work for you.
