This review is just for the regular bio oil. I bought this after wanting it for a while, but I was too scared because of the mineral oil. I have extremely acne prone skin so I was just expecting to break out from this. I used this to treat my old acne scars. I have not broken out at all because of this, and I am really surprised. It has helped my skin tone and fade my acne marks very fast, considering how inconsistent I am with use. My mom even said my skin looked nice! If you have your doubts about this I recommend trying it as it is very effective.

Reviews
I used bio oil when I was pregnant, started at about 12 weeks until about 2 weeks after baby was born. I used it twice a day and I didn't get any stretch marks. I would definately recommend this to anyone pregnant. I used this on scars and whilst it hasn't got rid of them, it has reduced their visibility. i like that this product is natural and contains really good ingredients. It doesn't have smell and absorbs easily into the skin. My skin doesn't feel greasy after using this. It's readily available at the supermarket so it's easy to pop into the trolley when doing the weekly shop.
Tips: Use often
I have used this product many times over the years but never appreciated it quite so much as I did during my pregnancy. My belly grew enormous very early on and was incredibly itchy from around 5 months. The Bio Oil helped dramatically with the skins elasticity and calmed the itch, although I found it a little too oily to use right before bed. I made it all the way to 9 months without a single stretch mark however my little one was 3 weeks overdue and stretch marks appeared in the last 10 days around the bottom of my belly. I have consequently been using for 6 months post birth and have seen a dramatic reduction of pink colouration along my c-section scar and the stretch marks. I find it a little too heavy to use on my face however on my belly it has been remarkable. If used on my chest on a daily basis I find small spots appear so only use occasionally on the rest of my body. It has a lovely clean and appealing scent.
Tips: Put a squirt or two in the bath before you get in or apply over body whilst wet when getting out the bath and pat dry. Let oil absorb before dressing to avoid oil marks on clothes.
I use this to reduce or get rid of any minor scars and it really does work, this product also hydrates the skin and leaves it feeling very soft
As a 38 week pregnant woman, stretch marks were one of my fears with pregnancy. I started using Bio Oil as soon as i noticed my bump growing and I am happy to say I have ZERO stretch marks! Now this could be also based on genetics but I know Bio Oil has played a huge part.
Tips: Apply generously after a bath or shower, when your skin is at its softest. And enjoy!
I love this product so much its results are incredible I used on visible acne scars and stretch marks and was already seeing results after one week. I recommend to all my friends with scarring for various reasons and swear by it.
Tips: Definitely apply just at night and wash face with water in the morning as being an oil it can make your face feel all oily and gross.
I used this product on my scar when I was in high school. I never continued using the product until my scar completely disappeared. When I started using this I noticed a rapid recovery, which was impressive.
I used it for both my pregnancies, 1 at 23 years of age and 1 at 34 years of age. I believe that's why I didn't get stretch marks at all. I did put on weight, as well as the baby sized tummy, so bio oil certainly got put through its paces. I recommend it as worth a try.
Tips: Don't put it on your face without patch testing as my daughter had a reaction in the form of red blotches. It could be just her sensitive skin. I used it on my face no worries
I love this oil I use it every day for stretch marks and I can see that it's working. It does take a while so be patient and continuously use. Smells so good too and can use it on hands and face if needed. Will never run out of this in my house
I use this product once to twice daily to help reduce the stretch marks on my stomach and hips, and it works wonderfully. I noticed reduced marks within a week.
I try to remember to use it regularly, and now it seems I only use it when I get out of the shower, or in the morning when I remember. However, this product still works, just slower.
I would definitely recommend using this product for all who have stretch marks they want to fade. It has given me more confidence as the marks are slowly fading and being less noticeable, which is important to me for when I swim.
I have yet to have any issues with it staining my clothing, but it might be because I apply it when I am wearing my pajamas or shapewear.
Tips: Use religiously, twice daily to see the best results, the quickest.
