Didn’t like the feeling it left on the skin

I actually bought this for my daughter when she was at highschool but she wasn’t really a fan of how it felt on her skin. I used it a few times. Not really keen on oil based products on my skin especially during summer due to the muggy weather so I couldn’t give advice on results

NOT EFFECTIVE

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 wouldn't buy it again.

I wouldn't repurchase bio oil, however, I would continue to use it if it was given to me, or if I found it on a good special. The only thing bio oil has done for me, is hydrate my skin and prevent it from getting dry and itchy. (Mainly the tummy area). No improvement on stretch marks whatsoever, which is a shame as that was the only reason why I purchased it in the first place.

Bio Oil

I used this through first pregnancy but probably not as often as I was meant to. It didn't seem to stop any stretch marks but it does leave my skin really soft

Not sure what to make of this one

I used it for a few months after my daughter was born after a recommendation from friends and family. It seemed to work for everyone else and it did eventually for me as well but not as effectively as I had hoped, my scars are still there and the oil itself blocked my pores easily and caused minor breakouts (on my stomach???). I used it daily after showering using a cotton pad to apply. The cotton pad absorbed a lot of the oil but it didn't seemed to affect the amount that got back onto your skin when applying so I didn't end up wasting any. It did however take a while to dry so I would be stuck for a while waiting to put my pants on so that I wouldn't stain my clothing. The months I spent doing this daily ritual didn't seem to get me anywhere very fast so I would assume that it would take longer to see effective results. I however became frustrated and discontinued using it due to the slow progress and the price.

Tips: If you're going to use this you will need to use it for a very long time to achieve results, exfoliating the area and using it while you are still pregnant (if stretch marks are what you are using it on) will probably help that. Just an additional update, I was clearing our my cupboard recently and came across my old half empty bottle of it that I thought I had gotten rid of. As I'm not one to be wasteful of things I've paid for I decided to try it out on my cuticles as I'd run out of my usual oil, and blow me down it does a better job than my usual stuff does. A bit expensive to buy simply for use on your cuticles but if you give it a go and find it doesn't work for what you bough it for, at least you can use it for that instead and not have wasted the money

Good Product

I used Bio Oil after having my first daughter, I had extremely wide, purple stretch marks. I applied Bio Oil every morning and evening until the bottle was finished which took around 3-4 weeks. It never got rid of my stretch marks or scars but it did shrink my stretch marks by half the size so if I had of continued using it...it may have got rid of them?

It did rub in nicely and I felt it wasn't too greasy afterwards.

Wasnt impressed

If you're a mother then you will probably understand the want for less visable stretch marks,which is what made me buy this is the first place. I cant remember the price I paid for it, but after relising that it didnt really do what it says it does I remember being disapointed i'd paid so much. I used Bio oil at least once a day for the 2nd half of my pregnancy. I found it to be soo oily that it wasnt a nice feeling putting clothes on top after you have applied it. The smell was fine,but it definatly did nothing to my stretch marks or other scars around my body. It definatly helps moisturise-(if you dont mind that oily feeling) but for me personally i cant stand it! Wont be using this again, and years later I dont care so much about the appearance of my stretchmarks! :P Its availability is good,the packaging isnt so pretty-felt a bit clinical, but i did find i liked the orange looking oil.

Bio Oild

I used it for a few months. I didn't see much of an improvement. I noticed on light stretch marks it does make them fade more, but on darker marks there isn't really a difference. One of my friends used this when she was pregnant from the start and she hardly got any stretch marks, so it might be a good preventer but not sure if actually removes/reduces marks. However; it does make your skin feel nice, soft and smooth after

Tips: A little goes a long way

Nothing Special

Not sure it's whether I didn't regularly use it, or whether it's just a bit overrated. But didn't help and of my stretch marks or scars.

Tips: Use it religiously and it might help. But don't hold your breath

meh

I dont feel as if it did anything to my scars really. I have very little scars that i would like to fade a bit more but just seemed to do nothing. I do feel like it made my skin smooth and silky feeling though
