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.

Bio oil makes a decent moisturiser, and i think that's about it. It makes a lot of claims about miracles it can perform like reducing the appearance of stretch marks, however many scientific studies show nothing topical has a significant effect on reducing stretchmarks appearance, beyond just basic moisturising. The fragrance and colouring also has the potential to be very irritating to sensitive skin. It's fairly expensive, especially considering one of the main ingredients is basic mineral oil. I have some at home, which I will continue to use, but I won't bother repurchasing
Tips: Better off sticking to baby oil which is $1 per 100ml, as opposed to bio oil which is $20 per 100ml
