Bio Oil

Bio Oil has been in the bathroom cupboard for as long as I can remember.

It comes in a plastic container that for the most part firmly contains the oil but occassionally allows leaks between the bottle and the lid.

The oil itself is a light orange and has a gentle scent.

In my family we have also used it at some stage. I used it for stretch marks for a long time and cannot say I noticed any significant difference. My brother also used it for a scar which over about 2 years faded to nearly invisible.

Now I do not know if our differing results were due to him being a kid at the time and his skin growing and stretching the scar out, or if it was that the bio oil is better on scars.

I would say this product is worth a go, but results really do vary.

I have used this on and off for a few years. I haven't noticed that it has made any difference to stretch marks but it is a pleasant moisturiser. I've often used it before travelling to make sure my skin is moisturised properly before a skin drying long haul flight. Is a decent product but I prefer other skin oils currently on the market.

This comes in a clear plastic bottle with a white screw lip and a stopper with a small hole which is really good as it allows the oil to be used in small amounts rather than a big blob. The smell is a light oily smell but not scented . which would be good for a lot of people. I have used this regularly and found it is OK but not great.I have dry skin so the oil penetrates quite quickly into my skin however it didn't seem to improve my skin so i didn't feel it was doing much for my skin as an improvement. I just bought the small bottle at the chemist which cost about $14 however id did last a while so I did not feel it was too expensive. I did try it on stretch marks and noticed no improvement so have reservations about purchasing again when there are so many other products out there to try.

Bought it while pregnant and don't know if it was luck or the oil but didn't get any stretch marks. Also find it good on sun burn. Can be a bit pricey but a little goes a long way which mitigates the expense.

I used this product on my old burn scars and they started to go away after a lot of regular use, but i also used it on my stretch marks and there was no change

I bought this last year from my local pharmacy to try out. First impression, the smell was amazing and loved how it made my skin feel soo soft. However I started using this in May until August 2015. There were no difference with my stretch marks, however my skin felt softer. Reason it didn't work for me was because I wanted my stretch marks to fade when using it, but it remained the same.

Alot of people I know say this does not work at all! But I have mixed reactions on this well known product we all love to hate and hate to love. I 1st started using this when I was 3months pregnant everyday right up until I had my son. My stretch marks are unnoticeable, was it because I used the bio oil? I believe it was as I got quite big. I have also started using it on my legs as they have minor scarring and they seem to be fading which is great for me as I can get the legs out this summer! If in doubt just keep trying, don't give up!

I got this when I first became pregnant, I used it every day of my pregnancy, and after gaining 31 kilos, I was stretch mark free. Yoi couldnt even tell I had had a baby. Unfortunately, I didn't use it very often with baby number 2, and now have huge strech marks from stomach to chest. Huge regrets. Unfortunately I didn't find it helped at all with some scars on my face, and since it was so heavy, I could only use at night cause I looked so oily.

This product did not work on my stretch marks, however it did help with my scars and helped moisturise my skin. I still use this daily, however I would not hesitate replacing this product with other oils.

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.
