Used this to try and combat acne scarring and stretch marks for a while. Discontinued use as I saw no results what so ever and it made me break out on the area I was using it on face. Perhaps this would work better as a preventative stretch mark treatment when pregnant, however for the price I'm sure there are better alternatives.

it smells nice but i stopped use after applying it daily for a while and i didnt see it helping with my stretch marks
I had some stretch marks from gaining weight quickly and once I lost weight the stretch marks were of course permanent. This minimized the stretch marks and took the redness out of them so that I could tan a little bit and they didn't look so bad. Is obviously an oil so quite oily for a while on the skin and doesn't get on clothes but a small price to pay for a good result.
Wouldn't use again. Yes it has a pleasant smell, and is easy to apply. But I have stretch marks and a horrendous deep purple scar on my back and it didn't do me any justice. After 2 months of daily use, Bio Oil hasn't helped improve my scars or stretch marks. It might just be me, but I wont be using it again.
On discovering I was pregnant I began using bio oil twice daily over my belly. I really loved the fragrance and feel of it on my skin. It was effective in preventing stretch marks. I have since used it during four more pregnancies.
Tips: Be vigilant in applying twice daily
I've tried using bio oil for several months on existing stretch marks and scars. I didn't see any noticeable improvements in the marks and scars , though my skin was lovely and soft where I had been using it. I had also put the product into a squirt spray bottle to make it less messy to apply. Given the cost I was loathe to have any spill during application.
I stopped using the product on my scars and marks as it wasn't working on me.
i have tried Bio Oil a few times now to help with scaring and stretch marks. I didn't see any noticeable changes to the marks or scars, however i have known people to absolutely swear by this product to eliminate any unwanted marks and it has worked!
Tips: Try on yourself for a trial basis of about 2-4 weeks if you don't notice any changes this may not be the right product for you.
I tried using bio oil while pregnant with my first child. It didn't help AT ALL! im covered in stretch marks.. it didn't help prevent them or fade them. I didn't like the smell or the greasy oily feeling it left on me and my clothes and bedding. Will never use it again.
I first tried bio oil when I was 14. I found that it really worked and I didn't get any more stretch marks until I was 16/17. While I was 14 I didn't care that I had stretch marks so I'd only use my bio oil whenever so around once a week maybe. I stopped using this when my bottle ran out, but this year I re purchased it thinking it'll help with my new stretch marks. But it hasn't. I'm very disappointed as I want to love bio oil like I did a few years back but it's just not working out.
Tips: Put this on after having a hot bath or hot shower, or make a body scrub using bio oil or have a bath and add a few drops of bio oil in it
Bio oil is so underrated :) I use this on my post baby stretch marks and they have faded quite a lot But that was after a few months maybe 4 I love using a little on my hair to help out with moiture and a bit of shine and manageability I use as an oil cleanse and also full body moisturiser and for my lips This stuff is quite handy i love and always get when on sale a while back they wer $3.99 from paknsav so i got quite a few now they have gone up
