Waste of money, snake oil more like it...

I brought this to try and help reduce some scars on my hand, in particular help reduce the appearance of a rather large and noticable one on the top of my hand. It wasn't that afforable to start with but I had high hopes for what it could do for me. I used it once a day for a month on the scarred areas and apart from stopping my skin feeling dry it didn't really do much else. I had a slight change to my large scar however and not a good one at that. The scar tissue went so hard! It was almost like the oil made it solidfy, it was quite weird. The packaging looks abit budget in my opinion too, as well as the cheap looking plastic container its in, for the price I would expect something a little nicer. But overall pretty dissapointing, i chucked it in the bin in the end.

Bio Oil

This product goes a long way so apply sparingly. It is a little oily but does absorb into the skin fairly quickly. It is too early to say if it will do the job of reducing my scar as I have only used it for three weeks. It was good value when on a buy one get on free promotion. Overall smell is pleasant and packaging good. I would probably recommend to people with very dry skin.

Didn't do much for me

I didn't see any reduction in scaring or stretch marks the only bonus was my skin was smooth and hydrated. But for the price and using it every day hoping to see results I was disappointed. I can get smooth and hydrated skin from moisturiser alone. I wouldn't re purchase this. I will occasionally use the one I already have though (as I got a few bottles) lol

Tips: Don't waste your money

Bio Oil

Used it continuously for about a year, barely saw any meaningful results for a scar that wasn't that old. It did make me break out if applied to my face, as the product is quite oily. The product does go along way, so no need to buy a huge bottle. It did leave my skin feeling soft and hydrated, but didn't appear to fade my scar. Would not recommend to a friend.

Bio Oil

Somehow I have so many tiny bottles of this stuff lying around the house! I'm not a fan of Bio Oil - I just don't think it works. I've tried sticking to it a few times over the last couple of years for minor stretch marks and small scars, and it hasn't done anything. I also find that it isn't that pleasant to use - I'm not a huge fan of the scent and it can get quite greasy. I wish this worked for me, but past experience would unfortunately indicate otherwise

Tips: It goes quite a long way, so if you are going to try it out you can do just fine for quite a while with the smaller bottle.

Bio Oil - use to prevent

I've seen a lot of reviews for after people already have scars etc that they want to get rid of. I on the other hand use it to heal up cracked skin so that it doesn't end up scarring. I get dermatitis on my hands and feet, and my skin can get very very dry. Bio oil helps it heal up quicker - don't get me wrong, it's not a miracle cure, and it is very expensive, so I use it very sparingly and only when my dermatitis gets really bad.

Tips: Use to prevent scars/marks e.g. if you have cracking skin incl on the heels of your feet

Bio oil bummer

I have given bio oil multiple chances but have never seen results of improving scars over long term use. This product is overpriced in many stores but can be found reasonably priced at places like The Warehouse. Scent is subtle so you can use it and it won't leave you or your clothes smelling like chemicals.

To use or not to use?

Alot of people I know say this does not work at all! But I have mixed reactions on this well known product we all love to hate and hate to love. I 1st started using this when I was 3months pregnant everyday right up until I had my son. My stretch marks are unnoticeable, was it because I used the bio oil? I believe it was as I got quite big. I have also started using it on my legs as they have minor scarring and they seem to be fading which is great for me as I can get the legs out this summer! If in doubt just keep trying, don't give up!

Not as promised

Maybe I didnt use it long enough but my stretch marks still look exactly the same as they always have. Its also messy as but i suppose you get that with oil! It is also very over priced. They make big promises and I for one was let down

Tips: Use during pregnancy before scars appear, maybe it helps to avoid them rather getting rid of them once they have arrived

Does it really work

I got this when I first became pregnant, I used it every day of my pregnancy, and after gaining 31 kilos, I was stretch mark free. Yoi couldnt even tell I had had a baby. Unfortunately, I didn't use it very often with baby number 2, and now have huge strech marks from stomach to chest. Huge regrets. Unfortunately I didn't find it helped at all with some scars on my face, and since it was so heavy, I could only use at night cause I looked so oily.

Tips: Trying to prevent strech marks, then definately use this. If your trying to fade old marks, I don't suggest this at all. Definitely more of a preventer than an eraser.
