Fail :(

I brought this to help with dry skin, scaring as well as stretch marks.

When I used it I really disliked how long it would take to soak into my skin. I would put on my legs if wearing clothes that wouldn't go near the skin. So I tried mixing with moisturizer hoping that would help. It didn't :(

I heard it would be good for hair, so I tried putting mid way down to ends. Yes it did soften slightly at the ends.

If I had some on my hands and put on my face, my skin loathed it. Itchy and break out in a kind of pimple rash.

I'm sure it would be great for some people but not for me sorry

Tips: Rub rub rub into your skin and use a small amount

Not for me

I purchased this originally for two reasons - firstly, to fade the unsightly stretch marks which had appeared on my 'love handles' after gaining weight, and secondly to help fade my acne scars.

I was pretty religious in my use of this over more than a month, using it first thing in the morning and then again before bed. I loved the feeling of the oil on my body, but not my face! It left my skin looking greasy throughout the day, like it just needed a thorough cleaning.

Unfortunately, after about a month of using it I noticed no difference in the scarring on my face or body. I stopped using it on my face, and used it until it ran out instead as a moisturiser on my legs.

I didn't find this lived up to the hype, and I wouldn't repurchase it.

Tips: Use it as a body oil moisturiser after your shower on your legs, the oil will help trap moisture in and make them feel silky smooth.

Bio Oil

I brought Bio Oil to try and fade my stretch marks. After finishing the biggest size bottle there have been no changes at all. Not worth the price in my opinion.

Bio Oil

This product didn't prevent me from getting horrible stretch marks, no i didn't expect a miracle but when i fell pregnant i started using bio oil in my first trimester and used it religiously through out hoping that it would at least mean my stretch marks wouldn't be to bad. I brought so many bottles of it and it was all a waste of money in my opinion. In my third trimester i got the worst stretch marks, super fat and purple, i then tried applying it 3 times a day instead of 2 and had it in my baths. But no it was a big fail i still have horrible stretch marks, they are no longer purple but that is no thanks to bio oil because they faded after i stopped using it. I still have 2 bottles left and i don't know if i want to try use them as just a moisturizer or if there is any point.

Let Down

I purchased a bottle of bio oil in hope that it would reduce the appearance of the stretch marks on my stomach and hips. I wasn't expecting them to vanish, just to fade.

I felt really let down, especially after seeing the ads TV and all the promises of reduced scaring that were made.

After using the entire bottle (200ml) I honestly saw no difference to the scaring.

Bio Oil

I couldn't wait to try this product when it first came out. I had a couple of surgery scars and stretchmarks that I wanted to get rid of. I used it daily for three months and waited for the magic to happen!! Alas, no change at all, surgery scars and stretchmarks were still there. This did however, make my skin in that area softer but this product certainly didn't deliver. Have not and will not be purchasing this product again.

Tips: Don't get your hopes up with this product if you are looking to get rid of stretchmarks.

Not worth the hype

I remember when this came out, there was so much hype about it being a miracle product for stretch marks. I tried it but it was simply way too oily, difficult to absorb not to mention it did not live up to its claims. My stretch marks are still there, loud and proud. I hated the packaging, it was very easy to get too much product or to cause an oily mess. A pump applicator would be better (although this may have changed, it has been a few years since I've used it).

After my pregnancy, my belly is ravaged with stretch marks but I prefer to wear them loud and proud than to pin my hopes on a product like Bio-oil.

Tips: If you must buy it, buy the smallest size!

Not a fan

I find Bio Oil very misleading. I hadn't heard/read any good reviews but still thought I would give it a try and sadly, I wasn't proved wrong. I have quiet bad acne scarring and a few stretch marks (so I would try anything that could possibly help) which have remained after using this product. I found it very oily, it didn't absorb well and was left feeling very disappointed. It does not do what it claims and I don't plan on repurchasing it again nor would I recommend it. I don't doubt the positive claims people have made about Bio Oil but for me, it just didn't do a thing.

Might help prevent but not cure

I bought a bottle of this to help with stretch marks. The idea of having to apply a few times a day was a but daunting but I wanted good results so followed the instructions exactly. However, after 6 months of applying (and then running out of ) the bio oil, I couldn't really see any results. My skin was softer, but the stretch marks were still as visible as ever. I don't have scaring so was unable to test in that way too. However, I do believe that if you were to apply this to your skin regularly it would keep it soft and supple, and therefore would be good at preventing stretch marks, especially during pregnancy. I suppose results depend on the type of skin, how long the stretch marks have been there and a lot of other factors. Just not right for me :(

Tips: For best results you definitely have to apply multiple times a day. Don't waste your money buying this and then only applying once a day or a couple of times a week.

Didn't make a difference

I bought this after I had my second child thinking it might help with stretch marks. I didn't notice any difference. They didn't fade at all. I was thinking it would do something so I was a little disappointed. On the plus side it does smell nice.
