Bio Oil

Ahh Bio oil...what can I say... 1st of all this product is pretty much a (very) over-priced baby oil, which will actually do less for your skin than a $10 bottle of actual baby oil!

It is jammed packed full of NASTY ingredients, such as Isopropyl Myristate(which is used in flea and tick treatments), Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone(banned from most fragrant products!) and Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene CarboxaldehydeL (common causer of allergic reactions). Seriously this so called specialist skincare oil is nothing more than a bottle full of chemicals, fullers and dyes. The formulation claims to be a combination of plant extracts and vitamins suspended in an oil base but in reality Bio Oil contains 29 ingredients... four are plant extracts two are vitamins used in nearly every cosmetic product and one is a mineral oil, the rest are nasty chemicals that your skin just dosnt need!

My experiences with the product... well it even smells of chemicals, it takes forever to soak into the skin and it does nothing for stretch-marks, scars or uneven skin tone. If I could give this 0/5 I would!

I was put off buying this because of the reviews other gorgeous ladies had written, however Farmers did a give away and I received a free bottle and I'm rather pleased I have! I have found this product to be AMAZING. I'm using it on my wrinkles and I've noticed a definitely diminishing of the fine lines around my eyes, the creases in my forehead and overall my skin on my face is looking smoother and more refined. I've also used this product after shaving my legs and my legs were soft and smooth and very very touchable, or so my husband tells me ;) I think this product is only limited by your imagination, almost! I'm looking forward to seeing if these results continue for me

I wouldn't repurchase bio oil, however, I would continue to use it if it was given to me, or if I found it on a good special. The only thing bio oil has done for me, is hydrate my skin and prevent it from getting dry and itchy. (Mainly the tummy area). No improvement on stretch marks whatsoever, which is a shame as that was the only reason why I purchased it in the first place.

This product helped my stretch marks 100%. Applied twice daily (sometimes only once) they just disappeared. But after reading these reviews I would think twice about repurchasing if I had to.

I love this product! It is a bit oily and thin but it really works well!!! Got rid of stretch marks and does go a long way! Really happy with results, recommended to friends and they love it!

I used bio oil after having stretch marks develop when I was 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I used to slather it on as my skin felt like it was ripping, and used it all the way up until they were born at 41 weeks. I was told not to use it for too long due to the chemicals in it, but it did seems to soothe my skin a little. I of course still have stretch mark scars and cannot comment if they are better than they would be otherwise

I used this when I was preggie with my little munchkins and it gave really good results. The texture is quite greasy and you have to wash your hands abit to get rid of it, but I found that if I hadn't had used it, my stretch marks would be a lot worse.

I used this religiously for months after having a accident that left the front of my legs scarred and I have to say once the bottle was gone there was absolutely NO improvement to my scars. I felt it was a real wasete of money and most people I know who have used it have said exactly the smae thing. It is a nice moisturizer but after reading one of the other reviews about what is in it I will be sticking well clear of it.

I'm really not a fan of this product. There are tons of other oils out there that I would definitely pick over this one. For me it doesn't really soak into my skin and leaves me really feeling oily and yucky. I prefer other natural body oils that soak into my skin and leave it feeling hydrated and smooth.

This has been raved about by a lot of people, but I'm sad to say that Bio Oil did nothing for me. I realise this isn't a 'miracle in a bottle', but I thought I'd notice a slight improvement in the appearance of my stretch marks. I'm glad to see that some reviewers below have experienced the same lack of results as I have. Will not be repurchasing Bio Oil.
