Bio Oil

I decided to try some of this a while ago after hearing what 'incredible results' it had for surgery scars, and recently having had surgery, I got sucked in.

This comes in a little bottle, there isn't a pump or anything you just tip the bottle to get a little bit out. It is very oily, and tends to get all over the bottle when you use it despite how hard you try not to which is pretty annoying. It doesn't have much of a scent. I found this glides onto my skin easily but doesn't absorb fast, it just sits there and sometimes wipes off onto my clothing. I noticed a bit of a difference in my surgery scars but not a huge difference, and so I'm wondering if another oil would work better.

Overall I probably wouldn't purchase this again. It just didn't work for me and didn't make a big enough difference to justify the price. It also became really messy which was quite annoying.

I used this both times I was pregnant. Great for moisturising and the itchiness but does not stop stretchmarks. It does smell nice and is easily absorbed so doesn't leave skin oily for long and is easily washed from hands. In saying that I am too afraid to not use it.. even though it didn't stop stretchmarks, I wonder if they would have been worse if I hadn't used this. Will be using third time around for sure.

I hear this a lot, that Bio Oil is supposed to magically remove scars, but they never claim to be able to do that. It’s not possible. Look it up, scars may fade and become paler, but they’ll never completely go away. Stretch marks are types of scars, and they’re pretty difficult to avoid during pregnancy. Bio Oil claims to help the APPEARANCE of scars and stretch marks. Anyway, I’ve noticed that Bio Oil did help the stretch marks and scars on my legs fade and grow paler, as well as a nasty scar my cat gave me on my arm. I like the smell of the oil and that it doesn’t leave your skin feeling oily and gross. It absorbs quite quickly and dries well. It’s quite dear, but I manage to make my bottles last ages.

Purchased to help with some of my facial scarring, I only saw a minimal improvement. These are some old scars so I'm not too sure if they were too old to really help and if the product might help better with newer scarring.

I was recommended by a friend to try bio oil to help combat ingrown hairs. We had both been recommended a product by our beauty therapist but found this didn't work so well and was very chemically. Bio oil works a treat!! less ingrown's and if you do get them much easier to get out.

I lost my appendix in 2013 (well we had to break up we wanted different things)

I had some scars from surgery and this has helped me heaps. I think it is something that works over time. I think this isn't for everyone but it isn't a quick fix!

However it said it could also be used as a moisturiser and.... well it lied! Well for me anyway it was just to greasy and caused my skin to freak a little. So I keep it as my secret weapon on my scars although I hope not to get more of these.

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.

I have used Bio Oil for a number of years, not only on scar tissue but on dry areas and have found it to be extremely effective. I think there is a limitation to what it is capable of doing to scar tissue (as would any product) but for dehydrated areas I rate it above average. Areas I have used it on are elbows, knees and neck area. I rate it above average.

bio oil is one of those things you have to stick with for results, i use it for my acne and its great i put it on everynight before bed, in the start it will make your face breakout, only because its lifting out all the dirt to the surface , stick with it and it could work for you.
