Bio Oil

If you're a mother then you will probably understand the want for less visable stretch marks,which is what made me buy this is the first place. I cant remember the price I paid for it, but after relising that it didnt really do what it says it does I remember being disapointed i'd paid so much. I used Bio oil at least once a day for the 2nd half of my pregnancy. I found it to be soo oily that it wasnt a nice feeling putting clothes on top after you have applied it. The smell was fine,but it definatly did nothing to my stretch marks or other scars around my body. It definatly helps moisturise-(if you dont mind that oily feeling) but for me personally i cant stand it! Wont be using this again, and years later I dont care so much about the appearance of my stretchmarks! :P Its availability is good,the packaging isnt so pretty-felt a bit clinical, but i did find i liked the orange looking oil.

I used it for a few months. I didn't see much of an improvement. I noticed on light stretch marks it does make them fade more, but on darker marks there isn't really a difference. One of my friends used this when she was pregnant from the start and she hardly got any stretch marks, so it might be a good preventer but not sure if actually removes/reduces marks. However; it does make your skin feel nice, soft and smooth after

Not sure it's whether I didn't regularly use it, or whether it's just a bit overrated. But didn't help and of my stretch marks or scars.

I dont feel as if it did anything to my scars really. I have very little scars that i would like to fade a bit more but just seemed to do nothing. I do feel like it made my skin smooth and silky feeling though

I first started using this years ago for a seriously big post-surgery scar. I feel like it did help fade the scar a bit, but time has done that also.

I use a few drops at a time and massage it in. It is very oily and does not absorb quickly at all, leaving a film on the skin. I usually put it on before I went to bed to let it absorb overnight.

I keep it on standby in case I want something heavy duty, but if I were to have scarring issues again I would probably turn to rosehip oil over this.

I used this product for a few months during my pregnancy and found it was ineffective , did nothing for my growing stretch marks and also left a horid grease all over my fingers that wasnt easy to get off.

I jumped on the bio oil band wagon when I was pregnant with my daughter, I used it at least twice a day every day for around 7 months of my pregnancy and probably about 6 months after. Unfortunately it didn't do anything for me to either reduce stretchmarks occuring or lighten them once I'd got them. This is a nice smelling, subtle product, it absorbs relatively easily for an oil product and I found it did help reduce the itchniness I felt across my stomach while I was pregnant. I dont think I'd use it again.

After reading the glowing testimonials for this product, I used it throughout my pregnancy and after in regards to stretch marks. It did nothing to prevent giant angry stripes from appearing and did nothing to reduce their appearance. Perhaps it works for scars and dry skin but I found it no use at all. There's a few products out there formulated specifically for stretchmarks, perhaps have them at hand as well if you find Bio-Oil just doesn't make the cut.

I purchased bio oil for my stretch marks and used it religiously everyday but didn't notice any change in my marks so was quite disappointed not too sure if I used the product wrong maybe????

My friend has been using this oil for years and she really enjoyed it. So I bought one for myself to try it out. I have used several oils because my skin can get quite dry so I have a fair idea about the consistency of oils. I find that Bio oil comes somewhat thinner than other plant based oils. I did not like the greasy feeling it left on my skin and felt like it was just sitting on top of my skin without being absorbed. I tried massaging it to my skin which made it absorb better. I was quite disappointed that it did not do much to hydrate my skin, i noticed that it was still dry before applying this product and greasy after applying it. I did try it on my stretch marks and sadly it did not help with that either. I find that like most beauty products, Bio oil worked for others but not for me.
