BIO OIL: Smells and feels wonderful!

This is a Beautiful oil that feels great on the skin. I purchased it initially due to the many raving reviews I had read and heard. Truthfully, I think I probably bought it for the wrong reason: I was trying to minimize red marks from acne- however this is an oil that is supposed to be for stretch marks. So I can give you one good tip: Do not apply to your face of you have sensitive skin prone to breakouts!!! It made me break out in little bumps all over my cheeks which then developed into acne after a couple of weeks.

So all in all, I would say it would be unfair to say that this oil does not work, as I don't frel I necessarily used it the way I should have. I would still recommend it because it smells so nice!

Tips: Do not use on your face if you're prone to break outs

Average

This product is so average. It is not some miraculous scar disappearing technology. It doesn't have any scientific base really. It is just an oil like any other, you massage it and promote blood flow which could help with skin tissue healing. You may as well use something like almond or coconut oil which are multipurpose and perhaps cheaper.

Must have product

I love bio oil, use it most nights instead of a night cream. It helps me with acne scarring and dry spots.

It's oil

I had surgery on my leg and was left with large scar, I used bio oil for 6 months hoping to reduce the scarring. I think it certainly helped, it never caused any reaction to the skin, soaks into the skin nicely. Worth trying on scars haven't found or heard of anything better. Was recommended to me from cousin who used it on burn scars with great success

Undecided

I guess like nearly every mum to be I was recommended to use bio oil to prevent the dreaded stretch marks.

I still don't know if it really did a lot because I did still end up with a couple of stretch marks but wether or not they would have been worse not using it who knows.

The orange oil comes in a plastic tube that has a hole at the top. You do have to be careful not to tip too much out. I don't know wether it was pregnancy hormones or not but to me this stuff smells a lot like castor oil.

I used to religiously rub a couple of drops of this into my belly twice a day. It would absorb easily but it would leave a bit of a greasy residue. I did also use it on my face to help even out my skin tone but it just broke me out. Overall I don't think this really did a lot except add a bit more moisture to my tight skin I have tried it on scars since from surgery and I didn't notice any extra fading. Won't be re purchasing in a hurry

Great results.

I used this on a scar on my leg. It went from red to a faint pink/white colour. I used it daily for a month or so and had amazing results. Impressive.

Tips: Apply daily.

Unsure

I have to say, i really still don't know if Bio Oil works.. I bought a bottle of it to try on my stretch marks and my scars on my legs and i saw no results, I used it daily and nothing changed. I did use a small amount of it on my face occasionally at night after cleanser instead of moisturiser and i did wake up with the softest skin though:)

Tips: When you go out if your legs or arms are looking a little dry put some on your legs and it adds a nice shine and glow hehe :)

Great texture

I started using this on a pregnant belly on recommendation from a friend, and have ended up continually using it and moved to using it for my face, dry ends on my hair, as a bath oil for myself and sometimes my daughter

Bio Oil

I used this during my pregnancy, I brought the biggest bottle and used it everyday until it was finished. It didn't last through my entire pregnancy it would have needed at least three to four bottles. So using one bottle did not do what I was made out to think it would do...and that was get rid of or lighten greatly my stretch marks. Needless to say I wouldn't bother using again unless it was a very small scar

Tips: advise people that depending on the marks or how many one bottle may not be enough

Not a favourite

Used it when pregnant , bathed in it used it daily ! Still covered in stretch marks. I thought bio oil was meant to be a quite natural product but reading the back of the bottle I'm not so sure how natural it is . I prefer vitamin e.
