Bio oil

I love bio oil. I used it when my son got second degree burns at age 5. It worked on him and he hasn't got a scar in sight. I also use Bio oil on my cuticles. I also use it in my moisturiser just a drop, in winter when my skin is a bit more dry. I put in my night cream too. My skin feels fantastic. When I don't use I can feel the difference. I have recommended to my friends too and they all rave about how there skin feels since using it. I wouldn't recommend using it if you have oily skin this way.

Tips: Put in day and night cream (just a drop) mix with cream and apply on face. Great in winter if you experience more dry skin than usual.

I've just been reading all the bad reveiws. It's a good tip to mix it with something, maybe that's what it needs to get the right result. I wonder how it would go mixed with coconut oil?

Bio Oil

hmmmmm, Bio Oil.. The big fuss on specialist skincare for scars, winkles etc.. I myself purchased Bio Oil for a scar after getting a birthmark removed from my leg, one thing when buying that gave me second thought was the statement "applt twice daily for a minimum of 3 months" THREE MONTHS!! is this how long it would take before I started to see results? But I thought I would give it a good from plenty of recommendations etc.. I personally didn't think it was that great as it took awhile to work but I do think my scar has healed better than what it would of without using it. Although the scar is still quite visible, I think this product would work better for more minor things as stated such as dehydrated skin and minor stretch marks etc

Mixed review but good for me

I got the worst stretch marks from teenage growth spurts and I covered myself up until they faded. They finally faded at 17!! At 20yrs old I got a surprise pregnancy and a big concern for me was my fragile skin !!!! What was I going to use to stop what happend a few years ago that iv only just healed from. Distinctivly I chose bio oil. I used it twice a day everyday from my breast down to the bottom of my theighs and Im honestly speaking that I did not gain one stretch mark and my skin looks exactly how it did before I had her.

Tips: Give it just once more go? You never know !!

Rosehip Oil is Better

I have a huge scar on my thigh from a drunken accident. I hated how big and purple and noticeable it was. Everyone talks about how Bio Oil works great for scars so I gave it a try. After 2 weeks I didn't notice any differences. It was hard to use and feel very heavy and gross. I changed to rosehip oil and my scar is disappearing as I type.

Quite good

bio oil reduced the color of my stretch marks and my scar. It left my skin feeling really nice. I didn't really believe the label when I was looking into something to use when I was pregnant but I was pleasantly surprised with the results I got from bio oil during and after pregnancy.

Happy to be proved wrong

I always thought that the hype and marketing around Bio Oil was, well, BS, until I tried it myself. I received a 60ml bottle as a gift with purchase the Christmas before last, and it sat around untouched for several months before I thought hey, I'll give it a go.

I was really surprised at this product after a couple of weeks of using it! My favourite way to use is to use on healing skin - mostly dried up pimples on my face but also scar tissue on all parts of my body. I find that the Bio Oil helps my skin heal much faster than it would using nothing. It also helps to hydrate those flaky bits of skin you can get after a pimple is 90% healed and therefore helps my make-up go on smoother.

Regardless of my love for Bio Oil, however, I would recommend you buy it when it's on sale. The price can be pretty insane but I have seen the 60ml bottle at the Warehouse for $10-$12 on a good day, and that is more than enough to last you months and months if you use it for spot treatments like me.

Bio Oil

I was bitten by some sort of insect, which brought on a full eczema reaction all over my body, and after that went away, it left my skin with dark pigments and very, very dry. I don't know if the bio oil helped with the pigmentation, but it was great for the dry skin. It absorbed into the skin very well, and I was surprised to find that it did not leave a very oily feeling as I originally thought it would.

Great product- but not for stretch marks

I bought bio oil (big bottle) as I had heard such amazing things about it and wanted if for the stretch marks on my breasts and stomach.

I used it for about 8 months to a year thinking might take a while (a little also goes a long way)

I did not notice any change to the stretch marks but it does make my skin feel very nice, soft supple and moisterised. it has a mild smell but i found I did not notice it once rubbed in.

I don't think I would repurchase bio oil as I have different products that I can get the same soft feeling with but as it didn't do anything for my stretch marks, i do not recommend for that purpose

Bio Oil

I tried this for acne scars on my face. I heard great things about Bio Oil and I thought I should try it out. I bought the large bottle. Unfortunately this did nothing for me. It was so oily and because I have oily skin as it is, my skin just wouldn't absorb it. I had to be very careful applying it around my eye area as it did irritate my eyes if any little bit got near it. I used this at night before bed and it made my pillow cases greasy. It might work for other body parts, I don't know but it didn't work on my face which is the main reason I bought this.
