Reviews
I was advised to use this on scars to improve the appearance of the scars. I regularly applied this product with no effect to the scars, and I didn't really like the greasy feel I was left with on my skin. in respect of stretch marks, I have found these fade of their own accord over time. I now use a good moisturiser after I shower which helps keep my skin in good condition.
Tips: Use a good quality moisturiser instead.
I found this to be very irritating on my stretch marks and caused them to get sore,red,burnt and stung them i had to shower to wash off and it left a red rash on my skin which stung like crazy won't buy again
Tips: I would try a sample size first before buying and try on a small area of skin to make sure there is no irritations or any sort.
I used this on my acne scars - oh to be a teenager again! This not only didnt do anything to the existing scars it caused me to have oily skin and I managed to get more spots! This did nothing to the texture or look of my skin other than making it shiny and oily - yuck! Chucked this out after about 2 months use
I had heard great things about Bio-oil for fading stretch marks. I used it twice a day, every day until the bottle ran out and noticed no change. Obviously as it is an oil it is very oily, but I wish it would absorb better because it stayed so oily for a long time. Overall I wouldn't bother with it again.
I used this on my belly during my first pregnancy, it didn't absorb nicely and left me feeling really oil and I still got stretch marks, I continued using it afterwards too and I don't think it helped reduce the stretch marks faster, it did make my skin beautifully soft though and has a nice smell.
All I have to say is you might as well go to the supermarket and buy canola oil for all the good this stuff does and it is so expensive! They tell you to slather it all over yourself at least twice a day (which I did) so this means you go through a bottle every couple of weeks. Marketing geniuses.
I used this through my first pregnancy after being told it would help against stretch marks forming. I applied it twice a day and spent a small fortune on it only to find that i still got covered with stretch marks. I still continued to use it in the hope it would help minimise the appearance of the marks but with no great results. An expensive, oily waste of time for me though i do know people who swear by it. Not a fan.
I first bought this product years ago, after all the hype surrounding it as "the name" behind stretch mark fading and repair. I persisted using it over a year and to be honest, asides from being a very gently scented moisturising body oil, it did nothing for fading my stretch marks and/or scarring on my skin. Disappointing results all in all, and for that price, I'd rather use a fragrance based body lotion/cream. Now, I gotta start loving those stretch marks!
I had high hopes for this product to tone down my unsightly stretch marks but it did not happen. After using it as directed it made no difference to them and only made my skin feel greasy and slimy. I would not recommend this :(
