My Mum bought this for me for my first pregnancy. I used it all the time, I can't stand the smell now because I associate it with morning sickness. But even using it religiously I still ended up with stretch marks. When I had to have surgery I thought I would use it on the fresh scar, but again, it didn't do anything. Really don't feel that it is up to the hype.

I found Bio Oil to be greasy and I didn't like the smell. I think I have been over eager squirting it out of the bottle as well. Definitely has not deminished stretch marks or scarring. I know things don't happen overnight but I am on my second bottle and just feel like I am wasting my time.
Personally, I found that this done nothing for me. It did not do as promised - I used it quite a bit and it done nothing for my scars whatsoever. Very disappointed :(
I used this twice a day while pregnant to reduce the appearance of stretch marks after using for several months the only difference was my skin felt softer. Highly disappointed with this product as its not very cheap and does not do as stated
I purchased this Bio Oil after being sucked in by all the media hype of it being beneficial for scarring, but unfortunately thats all it was for me, hype.
I used it religiously for about 6 months with no results and people kept telling to keep using it as it takes long but eventually I would have results. I kept on and kept on.
The application of the oil is like rubbing fish oil on your face. Its a really thin oil and is doesnt feel very nourishing after application. Its takes a long time to get absorbed and all my skin felt was oily.
I'm not sure if it wouldve worked if I kept on using it, but I believe a product should at least give some minimal change to your skin if its really going to prove to be scar changer after months of use.
Sadly I dont recommend this oil to amybody because its expensive and didnt work for me.
I was so sadly disappointed with this oil. I had a lot of stretch marks from my younger years which I used bio oil on for months with no results. It has really only been time that has healed them for me. Now I have a ton more high on my belly from my pregnancy but I wont be reaching for the Bio oil. I didn't really enjoy the application of the oil. It was overly greasy and did not feel like it ever really absorbed fully which made my clothes stick to it & made me feel quite gross. It was more suited to a massage oil in my opinion or a bath oil but with the price tag it carries you can find cheaper options which will work just as well. It has made me wonder why you never see before & after photos with the Bio Oil advertising...
Tips: Don't buy into the hype that this product has created without getting a smaller bottler or sample & trying it first.
Also bare in mind that some people are more prone to stretch marks regardless of what you do to try & prevent them - of at least this is what my midwife told me.
Did nothing for me. I got one of the big bottles. Had high hopes; only to be disappointed. Didn't even make my stretch marks seem less prominent after finishing the whole bottle. Basically paid a lot of money for a lot of nothing. I wouldnt recommend this to anyone.
Tips: Find something else. Or realise stretchmarks from pregnancy are a gift from your kids <3
Really, Bio-oil? I really, REALLY hate putting oil on myself purposefully in the name of beauty (and its product claims), but with its claims of making stretch marks appearance better, I practically bathed in it. Didn't do anything, made me feel like I was a oil slick. If this came in a cream, I'd be all up on it. Oil? Never again.
I was given a bottle at my baby shower. At the end of my pregnancy my lower abdomen broke out in stretch marks! I applied the oil regularly during and after pregnancy, but to be honest I did not notice any difference. My skin does scar easily, so this may have been a factor.
I saw many ads and reviews on how bio oil can help reduce or even fade away scars and stretchmarks, i went thru 2 medium sized bottles and only noticed that my stretchmarks felt smoother but nothing else happened. I wont be buying bio oil again as it didnt work for me.
