No change

This product made no visible changes to my skin, I used this for stretch marks, however, there was no change to the appearance of my skin, therefore I wouldn't say it does what it said it would

Bio Oil didn't work

The product is an oily water substance. It in a clear plastic bottle with labels on it. The product feels oily when applied on my hand. It really annoying because it feels like it like a creamy oil type and I have to wash my hand a few times but it's completely gone.

I don't like using this product because on the bottle it said to apply the product for 3 months before you see some results on my skin. It was a waste of time using the product as I use it every day but I didn't see any changes to my skin after 3 months. I applied on my stretch mark and expected, it to faint a little bit but there was no change to it at all. I was so disappointed because I brought the product to get rid of my stretch mark.

I feel like I wasted my time and money on a product that does not work at all. The product was an average price, I got mine for $22.50. But it was not worth the money. I wouldn't recommend anyone to use this product because the product doesn't do what it said it would. There wasn't any change to my stretch mark at all.

Over rated

Wouldn’t bother buying this again. It’s not cheap and didn’t make any difference to my stretch marks or other scars. It doesn’t seem to absorb very quickly so you’re left feeling greasy and oily for ages after application and it’s thin consistency means more always comes out of the bottle than you need. The smell is sickly sweet and overpowering. Very disappointed

Over priced let down

WARNING - Stay away from Bio Oil if you have sensitive skin! I broke out in major hives after using it once. My skin burned on applying, I was told it would sting a little as that's the citrus factor? Which I'm still quite unsure if that is true. After a wee while the slight burning sensation wore off. I became itchy & uncomfortable. I washed my skin thoroughly but due to it being an oil, I really struggled to remove it all. It took almost a week for my reddened skin to return back to it's previous condition. For some people, I hear great stories, even some of my friends, but for me personally it was a total waste of money. I passed the bottle onto a friend & have been sworn against it ever since. It was kind of my own silly fault for purchasing a full sized product when I have sensitive skin, but everything I heard had been so good. Not for me. Won't buy again.

I shudder just thinking about it!

Bio oil. Sounds quite natural - but its got so many ingredients, like seriously, there are over 25 ingredients It seems excessive when you can use something like olive or argan oil.

The base is mineral oil, which is essentially liquid paraffin. Gross!

I used this to tackle stretch marks when I was younger. I tried it again recently because you know, I was a judgey teen. My teenage self was right to hate it. It doesn't absorb, it just sort of sits on the skin. I had no results at all, other than my skin feeling greasy and oily.

If I could - I'd give it zero!

Didn't work for me

I had high hopes for this product. I used this on my stretch marks not couldn't see a difference after using it all day every day. Its very oily and takes a while to absorb. I didn't like the smell either. It's just a glorified moisturizer.

Waste of money

I've got stretch marks and acne scars and Bio Oil literally did nothing for me! I just felt like I was rubbing olive oil on myself - which would probably be just as effective honestly. It has a mild scent, so that's good if you're sensitive to smells. If it works for others, great. But I've not yet met anyone that has benefited from this product.

Tips: Try a small size first to see if it works for you.

If I could, I'd rate it zero!

Ingredients - why have 1 pure oil when you can have a squillion ingredients that will just clog your skin and break you out?!

My main issue with bio oil (other than the fact its petro-chem central), is that there are so many ingredients, and none particularly nice. I'd rather use a nice rosehip or organic oil blend.

Results - I used this to try and prevent stretchmarks with my first child - it did not work. And yet, after using a rosehip oil with my second I was left with LESS stretchmarks.

So in short. It doesnt work and its chock full of ick.

Overstated Product

Sorry to say i dont feel this worked for me. Its expensive and i didnt feel it absorbed into my skin well I have used other oils that are far better. I still have almost a full bottle left.

Tips: Trial this first before you buy if you can

Wishful thinking

I starting using this product in pregnancy with the hope that it would help prevent stretch marks, I should have known that stretch marks are a genetic thing but I kept buying it even though I really disliked it just hoping it would work. I really dislike the smell, the feeling in the skin after and even on your hands after. It literally would feel like I’ve bathed in cheap canola oil. The smell is the worst part for me. I spent so much money on this product and wish i could say it was because I loved it.

Tips: Try the Ecotan Glory oil instead!!
