I brought this when I was pregnant with my first child. I found it so oily even with using only a tiny bit. So I found stretch mark cream was so much easier and nicer to use than oil. It took hours to soak in and I was just felt feelin oily and yucky

Reviews
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
I remember when this came out, there was so much hype about it being a miracle product for stretch marks. I tried it but it was simply way too oily, difficult to absorb not to mention it did not live up to its claims. My stretch marks are still there, loud and proud. I hated the packaging, it was very easy to get too much product or to cause an oily mess. A pump applicator would be better (although this may have changed, it has been a few years since I've used it).
After my pregnancy, my belly is ravaged with stretch marks but I prefer to wear them loud and proud than to pin my hopes on a product like Bio-oil.
Tips: If you must buy it, buy the smallest size!
I had surgery and purchased bio-oil as I had heard that it would help to remove the scars but after using it multiple times a day for about 6 months, there has been little improvement and i still have my scars. It left my skin all oily and overall my skin is basically no different so sadly that was a big mistake ... should not have bought the large bottle.
Tips: Try other products before this one!
I find Bio Oil very misleading. I hadn't heard/read any good reviews but still thought I would give it a try and sadly, I wasn't proved wrong. I have quiet bad acne scarring and a few stretch marks (so I would try anything that could possibly help) which have remained after using this product. I found it very oily, it didn't absorb well and was left feeling very disappointed. It does not do what it claims and I don't plan on repurchasing it again nor would I recommend it. I don't doubt the positive claims people have made about Bio Oil but for me, it just didn't do a thing.
I bought a bottle of this to help with stretch marks. The idea of having to apply a few times a day was a but daunting but I wanted good results so followed the instructions exactly. However, after 6 months of applying (and then running out of ) the bio oil, I couldn't really see any results. My skin was softer, but the stretch marks were still as visible as ever. I don't have scaring so was unable to test in that way too. However, I do believe that if you were to apply this to your skin regularly it would keep it soft and supple, and therefore would be good at preventing stretch marks, especially during pregnancy. I suppose results depend on the type of skin, how long the stretch marks have been there and a lot of other factors. Just not right for me :(
Tips: For best results you definitely have to apply multiple times a day. Don't waste your money buying this and then only applying once a day or a couple of times a week.
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 bought this after I had my second child thinking it might help with stretch marks. I didn't notice any difference. They didn't fade at all. I was thinking it would do something so I was a little disappointed. On the plus side it does smell nice.
I have heard many negative reviews for this from friends and family and wanted to try for myself, especially after some biiig scars recently. I know that there's a lot of promo for this, even in professional settings like physiotherapists, though results don't seem to be that good. For me, I didn't see any changes at all, and it was an oil that didn't absorb very well into my skin for some reason.
So I purchased this product when I was was pregnant cause it was suppose to help with stretch marks and help keep your skin nice and smooth. Well I still have heaps of stretch marks and my skin just felt oily. Took forever to absorb into my skin and I'm pretty sure most of it ended up being absorbed by my clothes. You don't need much of the product so it lasts forever but I ended up throwing it away as I didn't like it.
