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 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.
I know there is very mixed reviews on this product, but i found using it twice a day everyday on scars for two months very effective i have noticed huge differences ! I do think with scars though there is a point where products like this wont work, its something to start using straight away after a scar is formed for best results !
Tips: Strangely enough bio oil is very effective used lightly on your face, i found it worked very well with uneven skin tone and redness on may face, along with acne scarring (use a very very small amount though, too much oil on your face isn't too good for it)
I found this to be very good. I recently had stitches etc and once it had healed well I started to apply Bio Oil to help with the dryness etc. I found that it helped a lot with the stiffness and that it was a lot easier to walk etc once this had been applied to my sore on the back of ankle. I also started using it as a night cream and my skin is so soft now.
Tips: Don't apply heaps as it is quite oily
I didn't like this product much at all. Didn't have luxurious packaging or feel and didn't live up to its advertising. Ok as a bath oil to use it up. But had a greasy feel on dry skin.
Tips: Use in the bath
After using this product for two months, I noticed that the stretch marks I had been applying the oil to were slowly starting to disappear and not look so red. Considering I bought this product off 1day.co.nzfor only $15 and it is 125ml I am quite enjoying the benefits. It smells a bit like soap so nobody can tell you are using it. Am starting to use this on spots of dry skin and has been working wonders! Everything else I have been using has made it worse.
Tips: Put a small amount in your hair for soft and silky hair.
I was advised to use this on scars to improve the appearance of the scars. I regularly applied this product with no effect to the scars, and I didn't really like the greasy feel I was left with on my skin. in respect of stretch marks, I have found these fade of their own accord over time. I now use a good moisturiser after I shower which helps keep my skin in good condition.
Tips: Use a good quality moisturiser instead.
I used this on my pregnancy. It is easily available in any supermarket. I like it and will recommend it to other mums as well. It has a delicate scent and is perfect to those who have sensitive sense of smell on their pregnancy. You have to be religious on its application to see some results.
Not sure about this product I have tried it on scars and it feels to have made the skin softer and more supple but hasnt changed the look of it at all and in regard to stretchmarks it hasnt worked applying daily. It is good if your skin is really dry to replenish and make it feel lush again, but I dont believe that it has any effect on the look of scars or marks
Tips: Use it daily as recommended
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
