Bio Oil - Ok

I used Bio Oil for my first pregnancy and came through with barely any stretch marks. On my second pregnancy used Bio Oil for awhile until it ran out and then just used a really rich moisturiser and at the end also barley had a mark. Not sure after using both whether Bio Oil is any better than a good old moisturiser - think maybe the answer is just keeping your skin moist and supple while is continually stretching.

So-So

I used this after my son was born and on other scars around my body, I didn't find that it made much difference,

Although it is great for dry skin, i ended up just using it on my legs and it left them feeling hydrated

I found it slightly greasy and took awhile to wash it off my hands or off the floor as it always squirted everywhere.

Great as a make up remover though, just make sure to throughly cleanse all the residue off your face

Fantastic smell!

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?

Didn't mind it at all.

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.

Tips: If you don't like oily skin? Don't buy it. it's OIL!

Good product

This is a good product and I would recommend it. However I think it is better to buy Organic Rose Hip Oil instead as I have had better experiences and results with that (moisture building and reducing scars quickly and effectively)

Tips: Explore other oils such as organic rose-hip

Bio oil

I brought it for my stretch marks but after a few weeks I got lazy and stopped. I didnt notice much of a difference. I use it as a cuticle and nail oil which has turned out pretty good keeping my clients cuticles nice and soft.

Tips: There are multiple uses for bio oil. You can use it as a hair serum, cuticle oil, and on your face.

Not entirely sure

I used this for months on end for a scar I have on my kneecap from glass when I was younger. There was slight fading but not enough to say the result was good. One good thing about it is that it makes a good moisturiser for legs :)

Bio oil good for scars

I have quite a lot of stretch marks so when I saw this hit the market I was over the moon with joy! I used almost two bottles and saw barely any results. I did on the other hand see results when I applyed to a new scar, the scar faded! After the two bottles were empty I did not continue using this product.

hmmm still skeptical

i am in two minds over this product, i saw a slight difference in scars but really not as much as i was expecting. I have a feeeling that if you used this through pregnancy it might deter stretch marks.

Confused!

So I have mixed feelings about this product. I think it does what it's supposed to do but its not all natural as the name suggests. Mineral oil content bothers me. On the bright side it provides superb hydration and lightens scars definitely. My sister swears by it. It doesn't clog pores/cause acne. I wish it didn't have mineral oil..I'd use it more often then.
