I wouldn't buy it again.

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.

Initially....

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

STAY AWAY!

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!

Tips: if you really want to reduce stretch marks than heres a great tips that worked wonders for me after the birth of my son...MASSAGE ! Seriously massage the area with any NATURAL cream or oil (even olive oil!) for at least 10min per day. massaging the area stimulates blood flow which really helps reduce stretch marks. I had very deep ones and now you can barely see them at all! Oh and drink plenty of water .

Wow! I never knew any of this. I wish it was publicized a little more. This just goes to show, research your products before buying them as there can be a lot hidden in packaging :-) Thanks for the great review <3

This is a great review! I had really wanted to try Bio Oil so I did a bit of research on it and I found out everything you've described here. It's interesting how they project a 'natural' image but it's actually far from it.

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.

Won't buy again

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 on my skin.

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 worth the fuss

I used this religiously while my body was growing through high school and after. It hasn't really done much at all. Yes stretch marks have toned down maybe 20% but they're definitely still there and I don't think it changed the condition of my skin or skin tone. I personally don't like how extremely greasy it is and its hard to fully work into the skin. Some people like the scent but Its not for me.

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.

Good but not as great as they say!

I used this a couple of years ago when I fell over and scraped my face up. I think it helped with healing as I didn't end up with any scarring (luckily) but I didn't find it very effective on stretchmarks.. Also not a fan of the smell or the residue it leaves on your skin!

Enjoy the scent but...

At first when i bought this a few years ago i loved it! I loved the smell, texture, glide, and afterfeel of this. I used it religously on scars and on my growing baby bump, but found during pregnancy that it would worsen the itchy skin so i switched to another product which was a lot nicer. I had already at that stage purchased the next 2x bottles; trying to be organised... they are still unopened. It is nice to add a few drops to a bath to soften the water but I couldn't use it daily like I was before. Doesn't improve skin texture nor reduce scars as it claims. I have since found a product that works wonders instead.

Tips: Use as a massage oil as it glides well. if you don't like the scent add a few drops of essential oils that you do like
