I originally bought this product after hearing such great reviews about it being no. 1 for stretch marks, but I have to say, I’m not all that convinced on their claims. I have been using it on my hips and thighs for a number of months and have not seen an improvement. I must say however, I haven’t seen them get worse either. Despite this fact, I am still happy to continue using this oil and will probably still repurchase next winter. My skin is quite dry and sensitive at times and I have found the oil to be quite good in relieving my rough dry skin. I use it underneath my moisturiser and it doesn’t leave any oily residue. It smells nice, and the packaging is fine, it would just be a little better if the lid was different as it gets slippery to open after a while with oily hands! A must have for me over the winter months, but maybe not so much during summer.

Tips: Apply under moisturised for extra depth.
I suffered from a third degree burn one year from deep fryer oil. My nan told me to rub bio oil on it every day. Id never heard of bio oil before but im now barely scarred. Both my mum and my oma were amazed at the results of using bio oil. As I am myself would recommend for anyone who has scars from burns :-)
Tips: Great makeup remover and moisturiser leaves skin smelling amazing and soft
Bio oil felt great on my skin even though it didn't absorb that well. Very expensive but lasted a long while. A surprising thing I found was that, it works wonders for mosquito bites! Put a dab on wherever you have a mozzy bite and it'll fade very soon!
Tips: Use on mosquito bites for quick fading of redness!
bio oil reduced the color of my stretch marks and my scar. It left my skin feeling really nice. I didn't really believe the label when I was looking into something to use when I was pregnant but I was pleasantly surprised with the results I got from bio oil during and after pregnancy.
I am a huge fan of bio oil. I have used it on stretch marks, dry end of the nose from having a cold and blowing my nose a lot, as a cuticle oil, a hair treatment and an after shower moisturiser.
What I love about this product is that the amount of things that you can use it for. I like that it comes in a variety of different sizes and that the bottle has an attachment inside the opening so that you can control how much comes out at a time.
Although my stretch marks did not miraculously disappear I did find that the appearance of them was reduced a lot from using this over a six month period of time. I also found that my cuticles were a lot softer from use and that my hair was a lot shinier. I used this is my hair as a serum to control it after styling by just applying a few drops to my hands and smoothing through my hair.
Tips: Place some into a dropper bottle so that you can control the amount used and carry around easily. This is quite handy for dry skin patches, cuticles or as a hair serum.
I must admit, I originally purchased this some time ago with great intentions, BUT they never came to fruition (until recently - when I discovered it in the bottom of my bathroom cupboard and decided to give it a go.)
I have started to use Bio Oil as my nighty moisturiser and I LOVE IT.
I have combo skin (oily T zone with dry in patches etc) and find Bio Oil helps keep my moisturised and makes my skin sooooo soft.
I only use it on my face and hand (I am lucky to not have any noticeable scarring on my face - so cant comment on that side of it)... but it works for me
I really do love the way this makes your skin feel, and you only need a little bit at a time. However, it is just not affordable for me to keep using, I find it way to expensive for he amount you get. Didn't make scars disappear like advertised but willing to overlook that for how great it makes my skin feel.
Tips: Keep it for your worst areas instead of using it on your whole body.
Good however must apply regularly and not expect any immediate results. Slow and steady is the way healing works.
Tips: Be patient
I used this every day for 7 months when I was pregnant. It was a must for my daily routine. I found the smell to this product smelt very pleasant and the bottle it came in was very handy to take it anywhere, It was also very easy to get product out. I found that with this a little does go along way because it was a oil I didn't want to feel that oily feeling skin. This did wonders for my skin made it feel smooth and a all over appearance. Lucky for me I did not get 1 stretch mark using this product. Would definitely recommend this product.
I have scars all over my legs from scratching my itchy spots. I've been spending my life trying to find the perfect product to get rid of them.
I used Bio Oil after hearing friends and people around me that it's used for scars and stretch marks. I gave it a go, it has a nice smell to it, it feels really soft on the skin and very moisturizing. My skin had been very supple and never dries. However, the main reason why I bought this was for my scars and stretch marks, and I am pretty disappointed how little to no improvement it has done on my skin.
I would still used it from time to time simply because it feels nice on my skin and leaves it moisturized and supple.
