not a holy grail

I have purchased this once and been given it as a gift the second time. Originally I bought it to help with scars from major surgeries, which i never really notices any difference with. although it felt nice rubbing it on.

I was given it while pregnant with my son, to help with stretch marks. My skin marks extremely easily and I scar a lot. Unfortunately it didn't seem to do much with those either, but it definitely felt nice on my poor tight belly. The smell was fine, and I have extremely sensitive skin and I never had a single reaction to it at all.

Tips: If like me, it doesn't do anything for your scars etc, I have found it works great as a massage oil.

It's ok

This slightly orange coloured oil comes in a clear plastic bottle with a screw top lid packaging is basic but ok. To me this oil smells a little bitter but it's lightness and ability to soak in and not leave a greasy residue is great. The uses for this oil are endless I myself tried it as a good all rounder. On my face I did end up with some clogged pores and I have very mild dermatitis and it did actually seem to get worse when I used this oil. I didn't get any extra hydration on my face using this nor did my skin tone even out. I do have a couple of scars and rubbed it into them and did get a tiny improvement or maybe just all the attention they were getting helped them. On the upside this did wonders as a hair oil and I did rub it into my body before moisturising it did help the body lotion slide on easier I also used it on my feet after a good foot soak it did make them feel softer. This I'm not sold on I tried the whole bottle and it just doesn't seem to have the kick that some other oils have had for me

bio oil

I am unsre about this product. I would so like to say yes yes yes it does all it claims but i havnt had personal proof of this i did use it during pregnancy to prevent stretch marks, but i was sporadic in using it. I did not however get stretch marks but weather this was due to this product or just that my skin type was less likely to get stretch marks i am unsure. that said, as i now have mature / aging skin i find i use this as a moisturiser on my chest, bust, hands and the tiniest amount on my face with success.

On the fence

Used it on pregnancy sttetch marks. It worked but it took alot of purchases and a long time. Itdid kind of reduce the appearance. I didnt like the feeling of it under clothes. Nothing more annoying than a top sticking to your already itchy pregnant tummy in the midst of summer.

In saying that, I would probably try it again. I did enjoy the smell of it

Just ok

I suppose due to the adds and rumors I expected miracles from this product but unfortunately I only seen small results this may be because of my skin type or even because the add made me expect so much I didn't appreciate the result I did see. Very messy to use but most oils are. I wouldn't rush to get this product again but I would id use it again.

Tips: Make sure you have a towel for your hands afterwards.

Hit and Miss

This can be a bit of a hit and miss, sometimes it gets rid of my stretch marks and sometimes not. It has in the past got rid of stretch marks but at the moment I am struggling to get rid of several stretch marks and applying it daily but not making much headway, I only continue with it because it's better than nothing.

Bio Oil

Bio Oil has been in the bathroom cupboard for as long as I can remember.

It comes in a plastic container that for the most part firmly contains the oil but occassionally allows leaks between the bottle and the lid.

The oil itself is a light orange and has a gentle scent.

In my family we have also used it at some stage. I used it for stretch marks for a long time and cannot say I noticed any significant difference. My brother also used it for a scar which over about 2 years faded to nearly invisible.

Now I do not know if our differing results were due to him being a kid at the time and his skin growing and stretching the scar out, or if it was that the bio oil is better on scars.

I would say this product is worth a go, but results really do vary.

Tips: You need to apply it at least once everyday for a long time for it to have any significant impact.

Bio Oil

I have used this on and off for a few years. I haven't noticed that it has made any difference to stretch marks but it is a pleasant moisturiser. I've often used it before travelling to make sure my skin is moisturised properly before a skin drying long haul flight. Is a decent product but I prefer other skin oils currently on the market.

Bio Oil

This comes in a clear plastic bottle with a white screw lip and a stopper with a small hole which is really good as it allows the oil to be used in small amounts rather than a big blob. The smell is a light oily smell but not scented . which would be good for a lot of people. I have used this regularly and found it is OK but not great.I have dry skin so the oil penetrates quite quickly into my skin however it didn't seem to improve my skin so i didn't feel it was doing much for my skin as an improvement. I just bought the small bottle at the chemist which cost about $14 however id did last a while so I did not feel it was too expensive. I did try it on stretch marks and noticed no improvement so have reservations about purchasing again when there are so many other products out there to try.

Tips: Use it sparingly so it absorbs quickly -you can always put a little more on once first lot has absorbed.
