Bio Oil

I have combination skin, leaning towards oily and I found the product too oily, causing me to breakout. It took some time to penetrate in the skin and left me feeling like I had an oily film on my skin. Sorry Bio-Oil but I'll have to give you a miss!

I got to try this when it was first released as I had worked in a pharmacy and we got full sized bottles for free to sample. I was really looking forward to it because I had marks that were left behind from my Eczema and I had the odd stretch mark. I used it until the bottle finished and unfortunately nothing changed, my marks were still extremely visible and my stretch marks were still there. However I did try it on a recent scar I had and I noticed there were changes happening with the scar as it was slowly starting to fade, so I guess it is only best to use it on recent imperfections you do not like.

In future I will not purchase this, instead I will keep using my coco butter and coconut 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

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.

I was recommended Bio Oil by a friend in the early stages of my first pregnancy to help with reducing the chance of stretch marks. I applied as directed everyday and for about a year after pregnancy. I don't believe this product made much difference at all. I have quite noticeable stretch marks and now I have stop using bio oil have not noticed not much difference to skin appearance whilst using. The product has a nice scent.

I've been using this for 3 months now because I have scars on my knees. Unfortunately, I don't see any visible changes for the past three months. I was hoping for this product to work to no avail. Maybe it depends on skin type? I actually don't have an idea.

I used this all through my first pregnancy right from the word go and to be fair it hydrated my skin and that’s about it , not stretch marks where prevented even applying it twice daily and it definitely didn’t help reduce the ones that popped up

I had high expectations but for me, this product didn't do as it claimed. I noticed no significant changes on any scarring or stretch marks. I will agree that it is good for dry skin but for that price there are other products on the market that are much cheaper and will give you the same result.

I remember there being massive hype about this when it first came out but I never bothered with it as I didn't really have any stretch marks or anything that needed it. I have recently started to get a bit of cellulite/uneven skin tone at the tops of my thighs and got bio oil for this purpose.

It did an all right job but nothing spectacular. My skin felt hydrated in the short term, but not over longer periods and it didn't really change my skin tone that much. I have also heard negative comments about the ingredients and it does take a while to soak into your skin.

I think you are honestly better off saving your money and going for Cocoa Butter or something like that as i have had much better result using that.
