The ads for this product are false

Not everyones scars will be magically cleared up with Bio Oil, and for the self conscious mother I am, I used this with both of my pregnancys and the truth of the matter is, if your bodys going to stretch, its going to go right ahead and stretch. I don't even think this product helped reduce the size of the scars at all. I will give it merit for the packaging, that could have been worse. But for the most part, I wasted a good $60 on this with no happy results. The product itself is rather 'gluggy' and just sits on the skin when applied, even after some time of trying to rub it in.

Bio oil

I used this product during and after my pregnancy. It did not help prevent stretch marks at all i am covered in them. However after my pregnancy i did see a lot of difference when using bio oil, the catch was i only started seeing results after applying it 3 or more times daily and really rubbing it in for a good ten minutes. I don't like that this product isn't a natural product. I found that places where i had applied bio oil made my skin feel a lot more rough than usual.

Beginning to doubt

I have Bio Oil as I have recently gained some horrific scars that really embarrass me and I can't hide them, I've been using bio oil on them and find it only works when I apply like a cup full and then yet it only lasts a short time, I wish that there was something that really could help but I don't think that this is helping me!

Nice oil but very little change in scars

I have been using bio oil now for over 4 months and I have to say that I see very little difference in the appearance of my scar. It was a very pink colour and it's still very pink. It's also a raised scar and the bio oil has done nothing to improve that. It's nice enough as a moisturiser but I'm afraid I've seen no change in my scar or stretch marks either.

Heavy duty 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.

Tips: Be careful when wearing light coloured clothes - I managed to get a permanent faint stain on a white singlet from where it lay against my skin.

Definitely not for me

I used this while I was pregnant and I was so disappointing to say it was awful. The oil was runny and went everywhere. The smell was really off putting and I broke out in a massive rash all over my belly which itched like crazy for days and days. Unfortunately I brought two bottles and it was a complete waste of my money. I can't even give them away.

Tips: If you choose to use this product test it first on a small patch before diving in like I did

Bio Oil

Never to be used on your face, this product contains pert chemicals which you will quickly realise as you apply to your skin and find it tingling

Tips: AVOID!!!!!

All hyped up

I was recommend by so many people to use this throughout my pregnancy to aid my skin with being supple, however I was highly disappointed. It left my skin with a greasy oily feel afterwards and it took a long time to be absorbed. I tried it again after my pregnancy with the same results. Didn't fade my stretch marks and just made me feel like I'd rolled around in oil. I expect more with the price tag of around $30...

Very disappointed in bio oil.

I brought a bottle off bio oil about three months ago. I have very large read scars on my legs, so had high hopes to at least minimize these. I first opened the bottle, I was taken back from the smell. It was so odd I can't begin to describe it. I used a small amount which went very far. To far I ended up getting it every where. After using twice a day for a few days I notices a red rash which got worse and worse. It was extremely sore and itchy. Despite this I kept using the product (I'm not one for wasting product or money). After a month I toke a photo to compare to my before photo. There was no change. So not only did I waste money, I wasted time.

Tips: Use a very small amount. Be aware off bad reactions to skin.
