Bio Oil

I had heard that Bio Oil did great things to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Bio Oil is easy to use, it applies easily across large areas of affected skin. By comparison to rosehip oil, I found it had an overly oily and greasy consistency, often leaving marks on my clothes. I applied Bio to my hips daily for several weeks unitl I had run out. Over this period I notice little change to my stretch marks. I'm not sure if this is because I have had them for a long time, and my use of Bio Oil needed to be more sustained to make a difference.

Tips: I personally find Rosehip Oil better for reducing the appearance of strech marks!

good to have on hand

I have had bio oil for years & i use it most nights around my eyes & i believe it does keep area hydrated. I certainly notice when i havent used it. I did try on acne scars but i found this seemed to cause more breakouts, i guess because of its oily nature. I dont have stretch marks so cant comment on that. I do need to buy some more so best i do

Bio Oil

I used this on my pregnancy. It is easily available in any supermarket. I like it and will recommend it to other mums as well. It has a delicate scent and is perfect to those who have sensitive sense of smell on their pregnancy. You have to be religious on its application to see some results.

pregnancy strech marks

I used this when I was first pregnant with my first child it didn't stop or prevent strech marks from appearing.

Tips: However it did fade already existing strech marks from an violent purple to white after my pregnancy

Not on scars, but great on hands!

I got this because I have stretch marks and scars that I wanted to help fade. I used this religiously everyday for weeks and didn't notice any difference, So I went to get more, but the price always made me wince. After months of using it and not seeing any difference, I decided to save my money and leave it alone. It did make my skin feel amazing, but it wasn't worth the price just for that.

Tips: UPDATE: I have started using this on my hands as I get really dry cuticles. It works AMAZINGLY as a cuticle oil if not on anything else.

Doesn't Work On Stretch Marks

I don't use this on my stretch marks or scars because I find it just doesn't work. HOWEVER, I still love this product and want to keep using it. Why? Because it gives amazing hydration to my skin. It makes it feel so soft and definitely helps to even out my skintone on my face. I have a moisturizer in a pot at the moment so I just mixed a few drops of this into what's left so far and I find it makes my not-so-great moisturizer into a pretty awesome one. It also sits well under make up which I didn't even think about when I mixed it, but am very pleasantly surprised by. I personally also like the packaging and find it very easy to not overuse product. I also like the smell, although I don't think it's the kind of scent that's for everyone. Also it doesn't irritate my skin or make me break out which is wonderful.

Tips: Don't even bother using it on scars or stretch marks in my opinion, just use it for hydration by mixing a bit in with your moisturizer or layering it underneath if you have the time.

Great moistursier

I used this throughout my pregnancy and while I know that if you are detsined for stretch marks nothing will stop them, I feel that it didn't live up to the hype I had been lead to believe. But in saying that it is a great moisturiser especially for dry skin and it absorbs quickly into the skin. I use it often for daily moisturising

nice therapeutic oil

I got the 125ml bottle on discount and it lasted aaaaages!! Although it didnt help to reduce stretch marks as much as I had hoped, it left my skin hydrated, and I really like the smell, I would use it again, but wouldn't recommend it as it is not very effective for the price.

-Have not tried it on scars or aging skin

Tips: A little goes a long way - the oil applies very smoothly

Worked for me

I used Bio Oil on my stomach and legs when i was pregnant with both my kids. I made sure i used it twice a day as my tummy grew and started to itch, it relieved the itching and prevented stretch marks. I didn't use it on my scars as I wasn't sure if it would work on scars from when I was 5 years old, (they just faded a bit over time anyway). It wasn't very good in the summer though as it didn't absorb well into my skin and when i got hot it just felt yuck and slimy.

Bio oil

I have tried bio oil a few times. I found it pleasant to use and I like the smell.Although there was no noticeable difference to my skin, it made it feel nice and would be useful for a bit of a treat for you skin from time to time. I found you just needed a small amount and it absorbed really well. The packaging is basic but functional.

Tips: Wash your hands after use
