Un-Impressed

Perhaps its because Bio-Oil had such a public campaign, but like the general consensus on BR I was quite disappointed in this product! I bought this to try heal a scar on my stomach from a rejected naval piercing This oil is very slimy and incredibly hard to apply and as just ran everywhere (including staining clothes!). It also took a long time to soak in and left my skin uncomfortably oily (again rubbing ino clothes and bedding.) But worst of all I found it made 0 difference whatsoever to my scarring. I tried dialy for a few weeks and zilch. I really wish I would have checked BR before buying and not wasted my money! The bottle when straight in the bin

Tips: Only invest if you have plenty of time to let it dry, and dont mind the hassle of application And definitely get the smaller size to try on you first.

bio oil

I first tried bio oil when I was 14. I found that it really worked and I didn't get any more stretch marks until I was 16/17. While I was 14 I didn't care that I had stretch marks so I'd only use my bio oil whenever so around once a week maybe. I stopped using this when my bottle ran out, but this year I re purchased it thinking it'll help with my new stretch marks. But it hasn't. I'm very disappointed as I want to love bio oil like I did a few years back but it's just not working out.

Tips: Put this on after having a hot bath or hot shower, or make a body scrub using bio oil or have a bath and add a few drops of bio oil in it

did not work!

I tried using bio oil while pregnant with my first child. It didn't help AT ALL! im covered in stretch marks.. it didn't help prevent them or fade them. I didn't like the smell or the greasy oily feeling it left on me and my clothes and bedding. Will never use it again.

Different for everyone.

i have tried Bio Oil a few times now to help with scaring and stretch marks. I didn't see any noticeable changes to the marks or scars, however i have known people to absolutely swear by this product to eliminate any unwanted marks and it has worked!

Tips: Try on yourself for a trial basis of about 2-4 weeks if you don't notice any changes this may not be the right product for you.

Bio Oil - Didn't work so well for me

I've tried using bio oil for several months on existing stretch marks and scars. I didn't see any noticeable improvements in the marks and scars , though my skin was lovely and soft where I had been using it. I had also put the product into a squirt spray bottle to make it less messy to apply. Given the cost I was loathe to have any spill during application.

I stopped using the product on my scars and marks as it wasn't working on me.

It works!

On discovering I was pregnant I began using bio oil twice daily over my belly. I really loved the fragrance and feel of it on my skin. It was effective in preventing stretch marks. I have since used it during four more pregnancies.

Tips: Be vigilant in applying twice daily

Bio Oil

Wouldn't use again. Yes it has a pleasant smell, and is easy to apply. But I have stretch marks and a horrendous deep purple scar on my back and it didn't do me any justice. After 2 months of daily use, Bio Oil hasn't helped improve my scars or stretch marks. It might just be me, but I wont be using it again.

helps scarring

I had some stretch marks from gaining weight quickly and once I lost weight the stretch marks were of course permanent. This minimized the stretch marks and took the redness out of them so that I could tan a little bit and they didn't look so bad. Is obviously an oil so quite oily for a while on the skin and doesn't get on clothes but a small price to pay for a good result.

bio oil review

Used this to try and combat acne scarring and stretch marks for a while. Discontinued use as I saw no results what so ever and it made me break out on the area I was using it on face. Perhaps this would work better as a preventative stretch mark treatment when pregnant, however for the price I'm sure there are better alternatives.

Thanks for that. I was thinking of buying some for my son for his acne scars but it doesn't sound like it would deliver so I won't. Based on other posts it might be good for my dry skin but there are lots of other dry skin treatments to try first.
