As soon as I found out I was pregnant with my first child I used this three times a day on my breasts, tummy and back. I was horrified with the amount of stretch marks I still got. It didn't seem to do anything. When I found out I was pregnant again with my second child, I didn't bother with it at all and I didn't get half as much as my first. I know this is not a fair comparison because my body was already stretched for number one. But I am still disappointed.

Tips: Save your money and stick with natural oils.
i have bought this and used it a few different times based on other people recommending it. The three times i bought i used it for extended periods hoping it would work. but it just never did anything but make my skin feel oily. And smell awful!
Tips: don't waste your money
Ah Bio oil, you hear so much about how it's the greatest thing for scars and stretch marks, so when i started getting stretchmarks when i was pregnant i thought id give it a go. Basically i found it didn't do anything except soften and loosen my tight skin.
Tips: Makes for good massage oil :)
I used this during my pregnancy, I brought the biggest bottle and used it everyday until it was finished. It didn't last through my entire pregnancy it would have needed at least three to four bottles. So using one bottle did not do what I was made out to think it would do...and that was get rid of or lighten greatly my stretch marks. Needless to say I wouldn't bother using again unless it was a very small scar
Tips: advise people that depending on the marks or how many one bottle may not be enough
So I used this during my pregnancy every single day at least twice a day ans still ended up with a lot of stretch marks so I don't really know if this product works on other type of marks but it did nothing for me on preventing stretch marks on my belly.
I used this when I was pregnant with my children, as stretch marks are a hereditary thing in my family I was bound to get them as well.
Bio Oil claims it reduces the redness of stretch marks & scars but found all it does everything but.
Was very disappointed with this product and wouldn't try again. The smell is not very pleasant either and is way too oily.
Overly hyped product. - amazing marketing though, they have obviously sold a lot! I used this everyday for several months after having my daughter & it not reduce my stretch marks. Smells nice and made my skin soft, however left greasiness. Wont purchase again.
Didn't help I brought a small bottle of this because it was selling cheap as I have 'hole' scars all over the top of my forehead from acne. I used this every night after cleansing because it left my skin to oily for under make up etc. After a few months of use I gave up because it didn't make any difference to my scars. Friends and family have told me it's great but it just wasn't for me.
Not too impressed with the product. I was curious and bought this product to use on uneven skin tone and scars. I used it for about 3 months hoping that it would have some effect but I did not see any changes.
The oil has a light scent which is not too overpowering. It has a very runny consistency, making it is very messy to apply. This wouldn't be too much of a problem if it absorbed into the skin, but unfortunately oil acts as more of a barrier and not absorb well into the skin, so I'm left feeling really greasy at the areas that I apply the product to, even hours after I have applied it. It also doesn't feel very comfortable under clothing which makes me not want to use it again. It does keep the skin smooth, but nothing a good moisturiser couldn't do.
I bought this a couple of years ago, in the hopes that it would fade my acne scars. I persisted with it for around 3 months - which was the time period that was recommended and I didn't see any improvement. The oil does not absorb easily and just sits on your skin leaving it feeling horrible oily and greasy, and it didn't help at all with fading or anything. The smell is okay, and it is an alright moisturiser, so that's what I use it for now - just to not waste product. Sometimes when I get dry patches on my elbows and arms, I'll just use a bit of it, but I definitely will not be repurchasing this again. It didn't do what it said, and as a moisturiser - it's a pretty average one anyway.
