Not for me

I used this all through my first pregnancy right from the word go and to be fair it hydrated my skin and that’s about it , not stretch marks where prevented even applying it twice daily and it definitely didn’t help reduce the ones that popped up

Medicinal smelling mineral oil

I find this upsets my skin in the long term (in the first few days it hydrates but then your skin gets used to the mineral oil and it interferres with natural oil production and It starts breaking out and devleoping dry patches) and I cannot tolerate the smell it is so overpowering it impregnates your clothing and interferres with all of my perfumes.

Tips: If you are using this and having good results you may possibly save yourself money by just applying baby oil as Mineral oil is the same ingredient in both products and the main component of Bio-oil.

expensive (badly) fragranced oil

I used this for months. I bought multiple bottles and applied religiously every day. I really stuck to it but this stuff did nothing except cost far too much! Next time I want cheap smelling mineral oil I'll buy it at the dollar store. It didn't nourish my skin, just felt greasy and smelt really artificial. It also made no difference whatsoever to my scarring or stretch marks which iswwhy I began using it.

Tips: Rosehip oil is better for scarring and stretchmarks, coconut oil is better for your skin (it's also cheaper and non perfumed!). There are far better ways to spend your money. Over hyped. *I'd also like to mention that mineral oil (which is mainly what this is made from) cannot absorb into your skin. It just sits on top, and can cause a lot of irritation in some skins.

That's disappointing, but good advice about using coconut oil instead - thanks.

Bio Oil

I used this with all my pregnancies(pretty much 4 years straight) even though it didn't work the first time, and it didn't make any difference with stretch marks and skin tone! It's pretty much just a scented oil(not a very nice scent either, but I got used to it) I say an overpriced oil too, seeing as it doesn't do what it says. It was good for dry skin though, obviously, because it's oil based. To be fair, others I know claim it has worked for them, so it guess it just wasn't for me..

Would Never Buy Again

This product is not good at all. When my daughter was 5 she fell over and hit her head on the corner of a skip bin, splitting her head open above her eyebrow. After it had healed it was recommended that we use Bio Oil on her scar to make it fade. It did nothing at all, and after a few weeks use she had a sever re-action to it and where we had been applying it she got severe blisters. I will never again purchase this product, and never recommend it to anyone!

Bio Oil

I don't see the hype around this product. I have used it on many of my scars repeating application for long period of time and never saw a difference! I didn't like the smell of it and found that by bottle leaked a lot. I also found that it never really soaked into my skin properly and would leave a greasy layer. I was really disappointed with this product.

Don't waste your money

This product is a big bogus waste of money. If it's going to do ANYTHING for improving your skin texture or scarring, it's only because you're more actively moisturising and massaging that area.

Tips: Skip this!

False advertising?

I've heard so many rave reviews about this and how it reduces visibility of stretch marks and all that. I was very disappointed when all this left me with were grease marks on my clothes. The smell is nice but I don't like the really thick, oily feeling (yes, I understand it's an oil) on my skin.

I won't be using this again, it's one of those 'hyped' products that's not all that.

overated

3 kids later and a series of tiger stripes to rival a tiger, I thought this would be perfect to try. Hyped about so much on tv, I thought wow this may actually work. Well.... I was very disappointed. There are oil products out there that dont actually leave your skin feeling oily, this one unfortunately wasnt one of them. I can't stand that oily feeling, and I really dont want to be sticking to my clothes. Maybe I might have seen some results if I had managed to use it for longer than a few days! Not worth its pricetag either, I found it to be quite over priced.

Not Impressed

My mum bought this for me as she had seen the ads and thought it would be good for me after I had shoulder surgery in July 2012. I started using it a couple days after surgery and I had asked the Doctor if it was ok to use and his reply was, Its not so much the oil you use, it the motion of the massage that helps with skin cell rejuvenation. He did use alot bigger words that I can't spell lol. So 3 times a day I religiously massaged it around my scare. I found the Bio-oil really thick greasy feeling, the smell was ok but noticed it didn't really absorb into my skin. My scare is ok looking but not as good as my neck one which I used macadamia oil as I really like the feel and it absorbs into the skin, so hydrating. Now also wondered if my neck scare looks better as its in a crease and the skin is looser compared to the tight skin on my shoulder. Overall I do feel its more of the motion than the oil and Bio-oil is just too greasy for me I'll stick to macadamia oil.
