Bio Oil

I tried bio oil when I was pregnant with my 1st baby. I put it on every day but still seemed to get stretch marks. I think I will try it again when I loose this baby weight it may help them dissapear.

I have really dry sensitive skin, i tried bio oil and was pretty skeptical as i had tried a few products, my skin just drinks it up, leaving it soft and its not too greasy ( though for other normal skin types it may be too oily) . I have many friends who swear by it for preventing stretch marks during pregnancy, and my brother used it on his large, dark, existing stretch marks and they definitely got lighter, but its not a full on cure.

This product comes in a variety of sizes. 3 in total. It comes in a tidy and attractive box with a list of preventatives and what the product can help reduce the visibility of. It has instructions on how to use the product. I used this product for 6 months solid on my very dark and prominent stretch marks on my stomach and hips. (3x 200ml bottles) and did not notice any clear results. After showering, and applying religously I do not deem this product as great as it's advertised.

So this product was gifted to me by my sister after I had my son. No results. This product would leave a horrible residue on my clothes. And its not like I can walk around throughout the day with my stomach uncovered until the product absorbs into my skin. A lot goes a long way so a small bottle does last a while but if you accidentally get too much on your hands it goes everywhere. But you can always find other areas to apply it to. On the plus side it leaves your skin feeling nourished once it all absorbs. If you do want to apply it to your face try overnight. If you have dry skin anywhere then definitely try it, it'll give some improvement to the hydration of your skin but it barely does what its promised to. Comes with a pleasant scent, unfortunately for me it was the kind of scent i couldn't stand daily.

I didn't really enjoy using this product...I used it every day during and after my pregnancy on my stomach and breasts and it did nothing...I found it hard to use as it was too runny and oily so it would drop everywhere before I managed to get any on me...also didn't like the smell of it

I have used bio-oil on a scar i have from an operation, as well as on some stretchmarks on my skin. I have found very little if any difference after using it which really disappointed me as it claims so much in advertising and labeling. The fact that you have to use it at least once if not twice daily for over a month to see results (that's what the pamphlet says inside the box), was a little offputting. That's a big commitment for no results at the end! Also I know it's an oil, but I don't like the greasy feeling left on my skin for the rest of the day. It didn't really seem to soak in at all which was not what I expected. I don't recommend this product based on my own results, don't waste your time.

I was given a truck load of bio oil during my pregnancy and i was religiously slapping this stuff on my belly, butt and thighs. It smelt alright and i didnt end up with any stretch marks until the last month of pregnancy. Didnt really seem to ease the rapid onset of the stretch marks but because i used it religiously during the previous 8 months i wont know if it helped or not, I decided to research bio oil, which led to mineral oil and all sorts of articles on the not so nice side of mineral oil. I didnt react to the oil but didnt have any amazing results either. Each to their own but ill be going down the natural oil route from now on :)

so when I was about 15 I started struggling with stretchmarks on my thighs and hips (yes, I've had a big ass all my life and it just wanted to keep growing -_- ) so I thought I'd give Bio Oil a try. I personally didnt really see any results, I mean it may have lightened my stretchmarks in the slightest but they were still growing and multiplying :( I used Bio Oil through to the end of the bottle and just hadnt seen enough results for further use. For this product I think it comes down to individual needs because perhaps my stretchmarks were just too much too handle and I've heard from friends and family that have used Bio Oil in the past on their wrinkles and small scars and they have disappeared after regular usage so again, I think it just comes down to individual needs :)

So I bought this to help get rid of my stretch marks and unfortunately the did not work. However it made my skin so soft and I love it! The smell is Devine , and I love how you can buy different sizes too. It may not do as it says but I still love it.

I'm a big fan of body oil, but I wasn't overly impressed with this one. In all fairness, my sister had some success treating scars with this, but from research of the ingredients I'm not sure that Bio-oil would be any better than other body oils at treating scars. Certainly when I was pregnant my doctor said stretch marks are genetic and there is no product I could use to prevent them - despite the extensive Bio-oil advertising to the contrary.

Basically this oil is fine, and will help moisturise your skin and aid healing of scars, but I don't think it works any better than cheaper body oils.
