I bought the 200ml bottle and used this for nearly 6 months on my stretchmarks and scars that I've amassed throughout my life, and although it feels nice on the skin, I really saw absolutely no difference. I feel like it was a lot of time, effort and discipline wasted because it did nothing to fade any marks or scars. I even took before and after photos... nothing. Maybe its just me and my skin, I don't know, but I wouldn't repurchase or recommend to anyone.

Bio Oil is well marketed in NZ to be THE oil for erasing stretch marks post pregnancy. Their marketing division should be applauded, they really have done a great job convincing us there is nothing else more superior. That’s why they can charge $30… we assume they have the lock on this market… but oh are so many disappointed. I’ve recently lost 30kg and in doing so, have created marks on my skin that I had hoped, bio oil would fulfil my dreams of erasing. I could even overlook the stench of this product, if only it was effective. Seriously though, what’s with that smell??!! Why that’s crude oil of course! Yes, that’s right… a specifically isolated part of petroleum. Lavender, calendula and camomile oils are there too but I can’t get past that petroleum. And does it work? Not particularly. In the end, I can find literally dozens of other products out there, that are more effective, smell great, natural and don’t feature crude oil!
Tips: Throw it out and pick up a body oil or creme that features retinol / vitamin A and Hyaluronic acid. To prevent them, consider using a product with centella - this herb shows promise in prevention.
