Bio Oil

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.

I had surgery on my leg and was left with large scar, I used bio oil for 6 months hoping to reduce the scarring. I think it certainly helped, it never caused any reaction to the skin, soaks into the skin nicely. Worth trying on scars haven't found or heard of anything better. Was recommended to me from cousin who used it on burn scars with great success

There was a lot of hype around this product and as I can get dry skin, I thought I'd give it a try.

The liquid itself I found smells quite nice, no harsh smells. However I only needed a very small amount to make my face not as dry. It is very very oily I found, it feels like you're putting vegetable oil on your face. I used it once only because it didn't feel right putting something that oily on my skin.

Great moisturiser, very oily, it gave me a really nasty rash so stopped using it, I do have sensitive skin though.
