Too oily

There was a lot of hype around this product and as I can get dry skin, I thought I'd give it a try.

The liquid itself I found smells quite nice, no harsh smells. However I only needed a very small amount to make my face not as dry. It is very very oily I found, it feels like you're putting vegetable oil on your face. I used it once only because it didn't feel right putting something that oily on my skin.

Quite the let down to be entirely honest.

Thought this would be great for me - with stretch marks and a bit if acne scarring. Was told by a friend to give it a try and to use it every day, so I did so religiously to no avail! Used it til the bottle was empty without a single change!

Bio Oil

As per most people, I bought this oil hoping it would live up to all the hype surrounding it. I was disapointed, though, I didn't like the smell of it, it was quite greasy, didn't absorb into my skin very well and I didn't notice much of a difference in my skin. I would recommend using rosehip oil instead of this.

Tips: If you are going to use this, use only a small amount, it takes a while to soak into your skin.

Bio Oil

This oil has some amazing ingredients in it BUT it also has some really harmful ingredients in it and with the skin the largest organ in the body and what ever goes on it gets into the body 60% quicker it is not ideal for what is it promoted for, pregnant woman. Also it is expensive for what it is. A way cheaper alternative is buy some rosehip a oil and vit e oil and mix with Almond oil or coconut oil. Way healthier and cheaper than Bio Oil.

Bio Oil

Not too impressed with the product. I was curious and bought this product to use on uneven skin tone and scars. I used it for about 3 months hoping that it would have some effect but I did not see any changes.

The oil has a light scent which is not too overpowering. It has a very runny consistency, making it is very messy to apply. This wouldn't be too much of a problem if it absorbed into the skin, but unfortunately oil acts as more of a barrier and not absorb well into the skin, so I'm left feeling really greasy at the areas that I apply the product to, even hours after I have applied it. It also doesn't feel very comfortable under clothing which makes me not want to use it again. It does keep the skin smooth, but nothing a good moisturiser couldn't do.

Bio oil

Didn't help I brought a small bottle of this because it was selling cheap as I have 'hole' scars all over the top of my forehead from acne. I used this every night after cleansing because it left my skin to oily for under make up etc. After a few months of use I gave up because it didn't make any difference to my scars. Friends and family have told me it's great but it just wasn't for me.

Just ok

I suppose due to the adds and rumors I expected miracles from this product but unfortunately I only seen small results this may be because of my skin type or even because the add made me expect so much I didn't appreciate the result I did see. Very messy to use but most oils are. I wouldn't rush to get this product again but I would id use it again.

Tips: Make sure you have a towel for your hands afterwards.

NotImpressed!

I am slightly confused about this product! I'm confused at how many "bad" reviews there are but it is still a product that so many say is amazing. I used this during both of my pregnancies. My first one I thankfully didnt get any stretch marks - however I did from my second. I applied bio-oil after having my baby and it did absolutely nothing. My stretch marks are still there. I think the product is way overpriced as well. Also after a while the smell can be over powering, I also find it a little greasy. Would not buy again or recommend.

Meh product

It slightly reduced the appearance of my stretch marks but not by very much. I found this product very sticky and oily plus made wearing clothes after application very uncomfortable. On the plus side it has a nice scent to it. Not worth the amount spent

Tips: When using this product apply with enough time so it wont stick to clothing.
