This made my skin soft but I could not see any change in evening up my skin tone. Reasonable price.

Reviews
I used Bio Oil on my stomach and legs when i was pregnant with both my kids. I made sure i used it twice a day as my tummy grew and started to itch, it relieved the itching and prevented stretch marks. I didn't use it on my scars as I wasn't sure if it would work on scars from when I was 5 years old, (they just faded a bit over time anyway). It wasn't very good in the summer though as it didn't absorb well into my skin and when i got hot it just felt yuck and slimy.
I used this on my stretch marks on my hips and legs. I did not find it very effective as it did not smooth them out nor fade them.
I was so excited when I heard about Bio Oil and absolutely couldn't wait to try it...but after about 3 months of using it as directed with little to no results I gave up. I was using it mainly to try and fade some acne scarring on my back and I had no visible results above natural fading just a lot of time spent feeling sticky...it is a very messy product to work with! Unfortunately though I'm still on the hunt for a scar product that works.
I have heard so many great things about bio oil, it's supposed to do wonders! But I HATE it! I religiously applied it every day for over a year to a scar I had on my knee and it did absolutely nothing for me. Around 10 years later and the scar is still obvious!
In all fairness I did a mighty good job in skinning the whole top of my knee right down to the bone, so I shouldn't have been expecting a miracle, but with all of the hype I had heard, I had hope.
I wouldn't purchase again - it made NO difference
Bio Oil has been in the bathroom cupboard for as long as I can remember.
It comes in a plastic container that for the most part firmly contains the oil but occassionally allows leaks between the bottle and the lid.
The oil itself is a light orange and has a gentle scent.
In my family we have also used it at some stage. I used it for stretch marks for a long time and cannot say I noticed any significant difference. My brother also used it for a scar which over about 2 years faded to nearly invisible.
Now I do not know if our differing results were due to him being a kid at the time and his skin growing and stretching the scar out, or if it was that the bio oil is better on scars.
I would say this product is worth a go, but results really do vary.
Tips: You need to apply it at least once everyday for a long time for it to have any significant impact.
I have used this on and off for a few years. I haven't noticed that it has made any difference to stretch marks but it is a pleasant moisturiser. I've often used it before travelling to make sure my skin is moisturised properly before a skin drying long haul flight. Is a decent product but I prefer other skin oils currently on the market.
A super body moisturiser particularly around the neck and on the decolletage. The fragrance is not extraordinary but this is the only very small criticism I have of this product.
Tips: It does take a while to absorb into your skin so make sure you have time to allow this before dressing.
Great moisturiser, very oily, it gave me a really nasty rash so stopped using it, I do have sensitive skin though.
Tips: Really good for putting on straight after a shower or bath when skin is still wet.
I did not really notice a difference. Any difference made could be natural healing or helped by me massaging it in and the resulting blood flow and circulation to that area. It did moisturise a bit but the sticky oily feeling and mess on my clothes is sadly not worth it for me.
