I used this while pregnant and after for a year and it did absolutely nothing for my stretch marks. I used it on older stretch marks while using it on the new ones and it didn't budge them at all. So disappointed

I got this when it first came out and I was so dissapointed. It did nothing for my stretchmarks which fade over time anyway but the scars I have, it did nothing and as for evening out my skin, ha! made my skin break out in the worst pimples Ive had in my life. Waste of money
When this product first came out i was super excited !! anything that says it gets rid of stretch marks and scars is worth a try! i gave it ago,It was very greasy and took ages to absorb into the skin. After using a bottle i didn't see any extreme changes just a little fading but nothing really noticeable. I found it works better on new scars rather than older ones.I did notice my skin was so much more softer and hydrated after using. But i wouldn't repurchase this product again.
I used bio oil for the first time when I was like 16 and it was not what I expected. I thought my skin would feel good,i thought it would absorb, i thought there would be some sort of difference but no. Could be different for others. I dont have sensitive skin but it left the area i applied to rubbery and yuck. But like i said, could be fab for someone else!
Tips: Ask someone witha similar,skin type what they thought. Dont waste your money!
Got one of these for myself and my mum and have been unimpressed with the results. On the positive side i did find that where i applied the oil my skin was soft and the scent was fine but thats about it for the positives. I have two good sized scars about 4-5 cm in length, stretch marks and dry patches of skin and I applied the bio oil to all of these areas for about two months. I noticed little to no difference in the appearance of my scars and stretch marks through this time and gave up after two months. My dry patches were hydrated but I can achieve this through the use of the moisturiser I get from the doctors so not overly impressed at all. So the search continues sadly :( don't think I will be recommending this to anyone.
I used Bio Oil right through my first pregnancy, my tummy still came out with lots of stretch marks which took about two years to fade to white, so no it didnt prevent my stretch marks but they did eventually fade as I continued to use the product evryday!!! I think it does depend alot on ur genes weather you end up with stretch marks but the fading of stretchmarks and scars can be helped, so think it may have helped mine along the way.
Tips: If your applying to your tummy like I did always allow sometime for it to absorb into your skin as it can absorb alot into clothes and stain them.
I bought bio oil for my stretch marks but not impressed with the product. After application it feels greasy and doesn't completely absorb. After using for months, I still have stretch marks. The smell is good but that hardly makes up for the product that it actually is meant for. I know it has worked great on some people but this product is just not meant for me. I will probably try it again when I am prego, till then the peachy bottle has to rest in my cupboard for a while.
I unfortunately got chicken pox very late (15) so I got it quite serve. Once it passed I had terrible scars everywhere on my body, face, legs , arms, hands you name it. I found the bio oil did not work for me and now 3 years later I still have multiple scars left
I decided to give this a go as everyone had been telling me about it. It honestly did nothing for me at all. It didn't reduce my stretch marks at all and you can still use the smallest amount and it still gets everywhere. Personally I believe Bio Oil is overrated and there are much better alternatives out there.
Tips: A small amount goes a long way.
When I was pregnant with my first child 8 years ago, I ended up pretty much covered in stretch marks. This product was all over the place back then so I started using it on my skin towards the end of my pregnancy and for maybe 6 months after I had her. My marks did fade but to be honest I think it was more a time factor then using this oil. It did make my skin feel nice but it didn't really soak in straight away and if my partner accidentally touched it with his face he would get a major breakout! I really dislike the smell of it as well. It is cheaper to buy now, but I remember spending about $50 on a 125ml bottle and I really don't feel it was worth the cost at all. Overall, I think using oils are a good thing for your skin but I wouldn't recommend this particular one.
