Great for pregnancy!

I have used this product many times over the years but never appreciated it quite so much as I did during my pregnancy. My belly grew enormous very early on and was incredibly itchy from around 5 months. The Bio Oil helped dramatically with the skins elasticity and calmed the itch, although I found it a little too oily to use right before bed. I made it all the way to 9 months without a single stretch mark however my little one was 3 weeks overdue and stretch marks appeared in the last 10 days around the bottom of my belly. I have consequently been using for 6 months post birth and have seen a dramatic reduction of pink colouration along my c-section scar and the stretch marks. I find it a little too heavy to use on my face however on my belly it has been remarkable. If used on my chest on a daily basis I find small spots appear so only use occasionally on the rest of my body. It has a lovely clean and appealing scent.

Tips: Put a squirt or two in the bath before you get in or apply over body whilst wet when getting out the bath and pat dry. Let oil absorb before dressing to avoid oil marks on clothes.

Used to be a household favourite

This was once a household favourite loved by all for helping soothe skin conditions such as dry skin and I used to use it as multi-purpose items for cuticles and lips when they were extremely dry.

This orange oil has a multitude of uses and works well with existing skin conditions such as my eczema and extreme dryness. Applies easily from the plastic bottle and sinks into the skin quickly so you are not left tacky and sticky.

Over the years though I have found other forms of treatment such as paw paw cream which is far more on the go useable than a fluid liquid and have converted over to them.

Ehhh

Personally the product didn't really help with my stretch marks, only made my skin very oily and wet. I have since found other products to help but am slightly disappointed this didn't. It worked well on scarring such as acne scars but that wasn't my sole reason for buying this product.

Tips: i used at night time so that my oily skin wasn't affected by anything else and it had time to sink into my skin.

I still have stretch marks...

I used this on my stretch marks for a while but it did absolutely nothing. I would not recommend as it is quite expensive and actual doesn’t work. It smells good and feels good when you put it on but it takes ages to absorb and make your clothing stick to you. Unfortunately I can not recommend buying it.

Doesn't work, but it moisturises

This product is very moisturising, and leaves my skin feeling nice and soft, but it didn't help my scars.

I have a scar on top of my belly button from when I was pregnant (I had my belly button pierced when I was younger and the top hole made my skin pull upwards). I used bio oil throughout my pregnancy and afterwards but it didn't seem to prevent the scar and nor has it seemed to help it.

I think there are other, more natural, oils out there that I will use in future pregnancies as I'm not sure bio oil is all it claims to be.

Healing Oil

I had surgery that left me with a 10cm scar on my belly.A friend suggested this oil as she had used it on stretch marks that she had.I say had because it had vanished for her.I began to use this and to my surprise , after a month of regular 4 x daily use,I saw the remarkable improvement as my scare lightened and eventually disappeared.

Tips: Use on warm freshly washed skin. I usually put a warm face towel in my skin before applying.

Soft and supple

I really liked this for my body, but I did not see some of the results that the product claimed. My flatmate at uni used it a lot to prevent stretch marks when she was losing weight and it helped for her.

Tips: Try it in the bath, when you get out you will be covered in the product and your skin will feel really good

Not for me

I used this all through my first pregnancy right from the word go and to be fair it hydrated my skin and that’s about it , not stretch marks where prevented even applying it twice daily and it definitely didn’t help reduce the ones that popped up

Helped my psoriasis

Like everyone, I initially used Bio-Oil in the hopes of preventing stretch marks. I can't say it *absolutely* didn't work - I didn't get stretch marks around my belly button, which is mostly where I applied it - but I did get them very low on my abdomen and round my hips, where I hadn't applied it as religiously. Legitimate correlation or just the way I carried? No idea.

But! Several months ago I started using it on my legs and elbows in the vain hope it'd help my psoriasis. It didn't even claim to help psoriasis, but nothing else was working and I figured it was worth a shot.

Well, it took a while, but my plaques are now completely gone. To be honest, it might have been the strict moisturising regimen as much as the actual content of the moisturiser... but it worked! Smooth elbows for the first time in years.

I've also noticed that a dab on my face helps heal acne scars quickly, as well as being a nice light moisturiser.

I know this stuff's controversial, but I like it... for certain purposes. And as much as it costs, it's cheaper than rosehip oil.

Bio Oil

I have been using this product for quite some time now but am yet to see any difference to the appearance of the marks. The smell is quite strong and the oil takes a while to soak in so is best to apply of an evening before bed as to not get on your clothes. The bottle is quite simple but for some reason it seems to always leak with the twist off lid.

I would not recommend this product as after using it for 6+ months I have not seen any noticeable difference to the appearance of stretch marks.
