I went into this with big expectations because there was a lot of hype about the product. I also found that it did not then meet my expectations. For the price and the amount of product given I do not think it is value for money. The product itself did not reduce my marks and so I discontinued use. It has a nice natural fragrance but not quite the wonder product people raved about.

Reviews
Not sure about this product I have tried it on scars and it feels to have made the skin softer and more supple but hasnt changed the look of it at all and in regard to stretchmarks it hasnt worked applying daily. It is good if your skin is really dry to replenish and make it feel lush again, but I dont believe that it has any effect on the look of scars or marks
Tips: Use it daily as recommended
I used my Bio oil twice daily for 3 and a half months to reduce the appearance of the stretchmarks i got during teen years.
The product feels lovely and soft. You don't need alot of it to spread it over a large area. It smells lovely and soft, and has a nice colour and consistency. Unfortunately I didn't see much of a difference in the appearance of my stretchmarks...at all
Tips: Rub it into your cuticles and nails to keep them healthy and free from loose skin things and dryness. My nails felt stronger after using it like this
I used Bio Oil religiously when I was pregnant. Within a month a noticed my skin was alot softer and more supple. Once my stretch marks started appearing as my belly got bigger I used it more frequently but it didn't seem to help. I definitely would recommend people give it a go, whether for stretch marks or scars, as every body is different so I do believe it works on some people.
I used Bio Oil through my 1st 2 pregnancies and found that it made my skin supple but really oily. I think it did help reduce my stretch mark appearance as i did not use it in my last 2 pregnancies and have noticed the difference that they have not faded as well as when i used it. I think it depends on your skin and the frequency in what you use it. I would say give it a try there is no harm in doing so.
I am not sure this helps with stretch marks but I put on a scar several times and the middles of it seemed to fade it does take a while to absorb which makes you think most of it is going to endup in your clothes the scent is not bad it can be a little pricey well it was when it first came out this is a popular product but i think it would be better if it absorbed into skin faster
I used bio oil for a long time hoping it would get rid of my stretch marks and after a long period of time (1 year) it only slightly faded them. It smells lovely and makes my skin nice and soft. I think it's over priced for what it is and the affect it has on your skin. I use aargan oil instead and it's been working a lot better. It is a OK product with and average affect so I give Bio Oil a straight 3/5 for everything.
Tips: Experiment with other oils they do the same thing.
I have some bad scarring on my arms, and was told that Bio Oil was the absolute best product to use on them. However three months later I have not seen the difference I was hoping for. Yes they have gone down a little bit, but I didn't find this nearly as successful as everyone told me it would be. It is really oily, and it takes a while before the skin you have applied it to loses that horrible shiny look. It does smell nice though, so I guess that is an upshot. I will keep using it until someone recommends something better though.
Tips: I am really bad at remembering to apply it, so I keep it beside my bed to remind me first thing in the morning, and as I am climbing into bed at night.
I purchased Bio Oil for stretch marks, and I definitely wouldn't rate it. I didn't find it really helped, and I've found Rosehip oil works far better, in terms of getting rid of stretch marks.
I used this a while ago to try and reduce the look of my stretch marks. Firstly I will say I really didn't like the feel of it I know its bio OIL but I didn't like it, it also from memory didn't smell great either. I wouldn't put it on if going out incase it rubbed on clothes, I probably didn't use it long enough to see results maybe used it about a week but just wasn't a fan. I would try it again just to see if it would work but maybe ask a close relative to apple it instead. A little does go along way though so I guess that's a plus
