Bio Oil

I had heard all the hype about Bio Oil so when I saw it at the Girls Day Out Expo and was a special deal to buy two bottles for a special price I was excited to get it and start using it on my stretch marks and a scar on my leg.

I didn't enjoy applying it, was really greasy and never felt like it was absorbed properly into the skin, kept at it for awhile but never saw any real results with it and gave up.

From talking to others the majority found they didn't get results either. The one or two who did actually wondered if it was more the massaging of the stretch marks that helped them fade away not the product itself. Unsure but this is one product I wouldn't use or buy again or recommend to others.

This product is a South African-made staple, and has made a lot of noise over the past few years as a go-to product for reducing stretch-marks and wrinkles. I've used this product on several occasions and more often than not, I have a bottle in my medicine cabinet. Personally, I LOVE the scent and it's a great addition to the bath in winter for keeping skin soft and smooth. As a wrinkle, scar and stretch-mark remover, I am less inclined to say it works that well. I have not seen any reduction in my own scars (I have 2 bad scars on my knee from a child-hood accident), but perhaps for pregnancy stretch-marks it may be better?

I have been using bio oil for a few months now and the majority of my scars/ stretch marks have faded. I also use it on my face and hands when they are really dry and it does a really good job to give my skin that intense boost then back to the moisturiser I go. Don't like the smell much but because it works so well I can handle that

I love bio oil! I first started using it when I was pregnant with my daughter to prevent stretchmark’s. It was amazing. It can feel a bit oily but I did not get any stretchmark’s. It was also amazing as an evening facial moisturizer. Yes sounds so weird but it leaves your skin feeling so smooth in the morning and evens out blemishes and fine lines. I also used it after my c-section after my son. My scar is practically gone and I scar terribly. It is a great regenerating product!

Really, Bio-oil? I really, REALLY hate putting oil on myself purposefully in the name of beauty (and its product claims), but with its claims of making stretch marks appearance better, I practically bathed in it. Didn't do anything, made me feel like I was a oil slick. If this came in a cream, I'd be all up on it. Oil? Never again.

this product really didnt meet my expectations, it didnt get rid of anything, just made me feel like i was bathing in oil it wasnt nice

I used this in the summer after sunburn and it took the heat out, it is very oily on application (but it IS oil after all) and I wasn't bothered as I use body butters too. I mainly used it as a night face moisturiser (use a tiny amount) and still do when I remember, I would always have a bottle in the cupboard.

This is a good product it is better than baby oil as it does not leave the skin dry after washing it off, also does not leave an oily feeling after putting it on. although i must say that you tend to burn easily when out in the sun with using this product

I was given a bottle at my baby shower. At the end of my pregnancy my lower abdomen broke out in stretch marks! I applied the oil regularly during and after pregnancy, but to be honest I did not notice any difference. My skin does scar easily, so this may have been a factor.

This is just a big fat pass for me. I used this during my pregnancy and afterwards, I got stretch marks (nothing you can really do to stop them) and bio oil made no difference in their disappearance (because they are still there) even though I used this like my life depended on it.
