Wanted to love this after all the claims it made about minimising scaring, but I used it religiously without seeing any remarkable difference. Wasn't to bad for helping with dryness, but stretch makes or scaring didn't touch it.

Reviews
At first when i bought this a few years ago i loved it! I loved the smell, texture, glide, and afterfeel of this. I used it religously on scars and on my growing baby bump, but found during pregnancy that it would worsen the itchy skin so i switched to another product which was a lot nicer. I had already at that stage purchased the next 2x bottles; trying to be organised... they are still unopened. It is nice to add a few drops to a bath to soften the water but I couldn't use it daily like I was before. Doesn't improve skin texture nor reduce scars as it claims. I have since found a product that works wonders instead.
Tips: Use as a massage oil as it glides well. if you don't like the scent add a few drops of essential oils that you do like
I personally have tried this product once when i just had stretch marks and then again when i was pregnant as i thought i would give it another go but sadly both times i saw no difference in the appearance of stretch marks or making my skin elastic...
I will probably not spend any money on this product again and would not recommend it to anyone either..
Its a very well known and advertised product but for me doesn't do it..
I have been using bio oil for uneven skin tone left by scarring on my arms and I think its working but definitely not as quickly/noticeably as i would have hoped for.
I admit I haven't been the best at applying it every single day but for the price and claims I would expect more from this oil. My skin tone has evened out a little bit but i'm not sure if this is just from natural healing or the oil itself.
I think to get really good results from this product you would need to apply consistently and spend a good time working it in.
Not a fan i have pretty bad stretch marks and in no way did i expect some sort of miracle but i just thought it would do something but nothing for me used it for quite awhile just became a waste of time and money
I have been applying Bio-oil to my scars and stretch marks but they havent shown any result. Its moisturising and relieves itchiness but does not remove scars. Disapointing.
I used this as soon as my scar healed from a knee reconstruction and they say this is best used with a fresh scar and sadly it didnt help at all for me so i dont use this anymore
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.
I have a lot of scars on my legs and stretch marks by bikini line. After 4 years of using bio oil. Ive decided to stop.
PROS: leave skin smooth
CONS: NOT EFFECTIVE AT ALL
yes, what a waste of 4 years. I keep buying it just so I can give it more chances, but I had enough.
Oil consistency is great, but can get a bit greasy as it takes a bit longer to be absorbed into skin. I have used this for my stretchmarks after pregnancy. After 5 months of use have noticed a slight fading but not as much as I was hoping. It does say use it twice a day and as a busy mom of a newborn havent really followed thru. I think for this product to work, one has to definitely use it consistently twice a day and for a very long time.
Tips: Can make skin feel smooth and absorbed faster when mixed with body lotions/moisturiser before application.
