Bio Oil

Thought I would try this product as it was getting alot of media attention and I had some scars that were needing attention. Used the product as directed and found no ling term results at all. Was disappointed

So I purchased this product when I was was pregnant cause it was suppose to help with stretch marks and help keep your skin nice and smooth. Well I still have heaps of stretch marks and my skin just felt oily. Took forever to absorb into my skin and I'm pretty sure most of it ended up being absorbed by my clothes. You don't need much of the product so it lasts forever but I ended up throwing it away as I didn't like it.

I brought this when I was pregnant with my first child. I found it so oily even with using only a tiny bit. So I found stretch mark cream was so much easier and nicer to use than oil. It took hours to soak in and I was just felt feelin oily and yucky

I have heard many negative reviews for this from friends and family and wanted to try for myself, especially after some biiig scars recently. I know that there's a lot of promo for this, even in professional settings like physiotherapists, though results don't seem to be that good. For me, I didn't see any changes at all, and it was an oil that didn't absorb very well into my skin for some reason.

I didn't notice any difference to my stretch marks after using this product, perhaps it was the product itself or I just didn't simply use it for long enough but it didn't have much effect at all. Judging by other reviews it seems many of you ladies have had similar results. I guess if you want to try this product it's totally up to you, but I say do your research and maybe find alternate products/ methods to reducing stretch marks/ scars.

I do believe it does what it says it does (as in reducing the appearance of scars and stretch marks etc) however I dislike how oily and greasy it leaves my skin feeling, it just does not seem to want to absorb completely, which makes me feel gross.. Ive only used it a handful of times, however each time ive found myself grabbing a towel and wiping the excess off (which doesn't help much) or jumping back into the shower to clean it off. I personally don't like it, however I know a lot of people swear by it.. Its really something you have to try yourself and make your own opinion on.

I found that for how well known and pricey it is, it didn't really make a difference. There are others that I prefer and are cheaper

Not everyones scars will be magically cleared up with Bio Oil, and for the self conscious mother I am, I used this with both of my pregnancys and the truth of the matter is, if your bodys going to stretch, its going to go right ahead and stretch. I don't even think this product helped reduce the size of the scars at all. I will give it merit for the packaging, that could have been worse. But for the most part, I wasted a good $60 on this with no happy results. The product itself is rather 'gluggy' and just sits on the skin when applied, even after some time of trying to rub it in.

I have been using bio oil now for over 4 months and I have to say that I see very little difference in the appearance of my scar. It was a very pink colour and it's still very pink. It's also a raised scar and the bio oil has done nothing to improve that. It's nice enough as a moisturiser but I'm afraid I've seen no change in my scar or stretch marks either.
