Tried this a few years ago when the lady at the pharmacy recommended this for pigmentation.
It is very thick and doesn't absorb into my skin easily above all I don't think it did much at all to aid in my pigmentation fading. Time helped more.
Won't use it again as it didn't do what I had expected.
This product did not work on my stretch marks, however it did help with my scars and helped moisturise my skin. I still use this daily, however I would not hesitate replacing this product with other oils.
Tips: I usually apply the oil at night, and found this worked for me.
I have used this product many times over the years but never appreciated it quite so much as I did during my pregnancy. My belly grew enormous very early on and was incredibly itchy from around 5 months. The Bio Oil helped dramatically with the skins elasticity and calmed the itch, although I found it a little too oily to use right before bed. I made it all the way to 9 months without a single stretch mark however my little one was 3 weeks overdue and stretch marks appeared in the last 10 days around the bottom of my belly. I have consequently been using for 6 months post birth and have seen a dramatic reduction of pink colouration along my c-section scar and the stretch marks. I find it a little too heavy to use on my face however on my belly it has been remarkable. If used on my chest on a daily basis I find small spots appear so only use occasionally on the rest of my body. It has a lovely clean and appealing scent.
Tips: Put a squirt or two in the bath before you get in or apply over body whilst wet when getting out the bath and pat dry. Let oil absorb before dressing to avoid oil marks on clothes.
This was once a household favourite loved by all for helping soothe skin conditions such as dry skin and I used to use it as multi-purpose items for cuticles and lips when they were extremely dry.
This orange oil has a multitude of uses and works well with existing skin conditions such as my eczema and extreme dryness. Applies easily from the plastic bottle and sinks into the skin quickly so you are not left tacky and sticky.
Over the years though I have found other forms of treatment such as paw paw cream which is far more on the go useable than a fluid liquid and have converted over to them.
Personally the product didn't really help with my stretch marks, only made my skin very oily and wet. I have since found other products to help but am slightly disappointed this didn't. It worked well on scarring such as acne scars but that wasn't my sole reason for buying this product.
Tips: i used at night time so that my oily skin wasn't affected by anything else and it had time to sink into my skin.
I used this on my stretch marks for a while but it did absolutely nothing. I would not recommend as it is quite expensive and actual doesn’t work. It smells good and feels good when you put it on but it takes ages to absorb and make your clothing stick to you. Unfortunately I can not recommend buying it.
This product is very moisturising, and leaves my skin feeling nice and soft, but it didn't help my scars.
I have a scar on top of my belly button from when I was pregnant (I had my belly button pierced when I was younger and the top hole made my skin pull upwards). I used bio oil throughout my pregnancy and afterwards but it didn't seem to prevent the scar and nor has it seemed to help it.
I think there are other, more natural, oils out there that I will use in future pregnancies as I'm not sure bio oil is all it claims to be.
I used this both times I was pregnant. Great for moisturising and the itchiness but does not stop stretchmarks. It does smell nice and is easily absorbed so doesn't leave skin oily for long and is easily washed from hands. In saying that I am too afraid to not use it.. even though it didn't stop stretchmarks, I wonder if they would have been worse if I hadn't used this. Will be using third time around for sure.
Tips: Sometimes bottle over pours so be wary.
Wouldn’t bother buying this again. It’s not cheap and didn’t make any difference to my stretch marks or other scars. It doesn’t seem to absorb very quickly so you’re left feeling greasy and oily for ages after application and it’s thin consistency means more always comes out of the bottle than you need. The smell is sickly sweet and overpowering. Very disappointed
I purchased this a while ago to use on my facial scars but it just doesn't work for me.
I would apply to my face every night, massaging into my skin with clean fingers but I just kept finding I would break out in the areas I was using it in. I would start using it, break out, stop using it then repeat this process over again. I was never able to use it long enough to see if it really was making a difference.
Perhaps on different parts of the body it works better but I have not had any luck with it!
