I first received a bottle of Bio-Oil when I fell pregnant. I received so may other products for stretchmarks , that I actually forgot about Bio-Oil and it collected dust in my cupboard. Then when I saw all the reviews and write-ups on BB, I decided to give it a try on my face. This winter has been very hard on my skin. I just finished the bottle after applying it to my face every night for the past couple of months. And WOW! What a difference it has made! My skin is smoother, clearer, more even. I was worried about applying an oil because I get blackheads and the occasional break-out. But the oil did not cause/worsen any of these. I can really recommend this product and now I understand what all the hype is about!
In my opinion, one of the best investments you could possibly make for your skin. I've used Bio-oil at night since falling pregnant over 10 years ago. I have stretchmarks that are barely noticeable and, since using it on my face, I've noticed how dramatically it has evened out my skin tone. It really is wonderful and nourishing in Winter. A few drops in the kids' bath does wonders for their skin. I don't find it to be oily at all and the scent is gentle and not overpowering. Definitely the one skin product I would not do without!!
I like using body oils including Bio Oil, which is one of my favourites. The secret to Bio oil or any other oil for that matter of fact when it comes to scars and stretchmarks is you have to MASSAGE it in. Rubbing a little bit of oil daily on your marks isnt going to do anything as you need to break down the scar tissue. The essentials oils in the Bio oil helps heal ,soften and regenerate the skin but you have to have to have to massage to reap full benefit.
I first tried Bio Oil after my breast reduction. I massaged it into my scars daily and after just 18 months, they are barely visible! Now I use Bio Oil all over my body.
In Summer it's always in my bag as a way to add a little extra glow to sun-kissed skin and in winter it's the best solution for dry skin - especially spots like knees, ankles and elbows. It doesn't leave you feeling sticky and the scent is so subtle that it doesn't clash with your perfume! I don't use any other moisturisers anymore.
Although it is one of the more expensive tissue oils available, I'm always willing to pay a bit more for Bio-Oil! I've tried a number of other brands but none smell as good or get absorbed as quickly.
It's definitely a product that I would recommend to anyone because it's gentle on sensitive skins, it's not sticky or smelly and you can take their little 60ml bottle in your handbag anywhere you go.
After having my daughter I have loads of strech marks! Using bio-oil twice a day has made such a big difference in the apperance of these monsters! The only product I use for my strech marks.
I have used Bio Oil before and it never worked in the past. With the receipt of the one I had to review I decided to try again, this is the reason why I have taken so long to write this review.
I applied it twice a day to a scar and stretch marks and have since seen no improvement at all.
This is an amazing product! My only regret is that I've only discovered it when I was 35 years old!! I'm now 38 and can recomment this product with Confidence. I've been using this product for 3 years now and even during the first month I could feel a difference in my skin.
As countless user reviews will tell you, Bio Oil can be used for a multitude of remedies and treatments. Personally, I use it as a moisturiser when the going gets really, really tough... and dry. It's a little bit oily on your face (well, it is OIL after all) so you don't want to be applying it anytime before going out, and you'd want it to soak right in before going to bed so you don't mess oil on your pillows. But nothing else penetrates quite as well as Bio Oil when you need extra moisturising, especially in winter. The best part is it doesn't cause spots.
I have used Bio-oil for years - put it in my bath, on scars and on overly dry skin. I used to love this product but changed to Justines version a few months back as I was told it worked better on scars. I was really happy when I received a bottle of Bio-oil from the Beauty Bulletin team , it was like reuniting with an old friend. I've been using it again for 3 weeks now, also applying it twice a day to my fiance's chin ( he has an old scar from a childhood accident and even though he had plastic surgery on it - it's still there, not huge but rather like a small zorro sign + it's kinda sexy ) and putting it in my bath and on my few scars. My skin is smoother and softer but the scars haven't faded that much - but then again you need to use it for awhile to really achieve proper results from the scars. I picked up a bio-oil leaflet at the hospital last week ( dropped off a neighbour who needed her appendix taken out -long story, such a sweet girl ) and read through all 18 pages with info. There is alot more to the product than most people realise. So without boring you too much, here are some clip notes:

I have received a small bottle of this but have also used up a bigger bottle of my own in the past. It works great as a moisturizing oil after shower. I would only recommend this in winter as I do find it a bit too oily for summer weather. I haven't noticed any changes with the stretch marks though. It is one of those thing that you need to use for a long time to see any effects.
Trusted Bio Oil - what can I say...works like a charm. Works for a multitude of skin ailments like very dry or chapped skin, stretchmarks etc. What I love most about this product is the fresh, clean smell. There is no greasy residue left on your skin after applying.
I received this great product from BB last week and have been using it twice daily since. It came at the right time as I intended to go and buy this anyways as I have 2 ugly dog bite scars around my knee area. I also have recently became allergic to insect bites and we've just had summer so that meant mosquito season, so each time I had a mozi bite I would end up with the biggest blue bruises like someone tackled me on the rugby field. So now I'm left with scars galore on my legs which is an eyesore.
I love the Bio-oil fragrance and I just love how luscious and soft my skin feels after applying it. I also used it on a dry patch of skin on my face and it was fabulous afterwards. I am going to continue using this for the few months so lighten my scars and also because its just a fabulous moisturiser.
Thanks BB ladies, I really appreciate the great goodies you guys send my way!
People are always commenting on how young my skin looks." "...As I reached my late 20’s, my skin started to get noticeably drier with more fine lines. I’d heard great things about Bio-Oil, so decided to try it. I’m extremely pleased with the results. Less fine lines, much smoother skin, more even skin tone, and texture like a baby’s. People are always commenting on how young my skin looks, and I was asked for ID at a pub last week for the first time in years. There’s no better testimonial than that!"
I love the smell, which doesn't smell oily.. if you know what I mean? it has a light scent that will complement any cream/ perfume you might be wearing.... Great BB goodie to get:) thanks BB gorgeous ladies!

Bio-oil...The product every mom tells her daughter about and the product every woman should keep in her beauty collection.
I've been using bio-oil for years and it's been very good to me and very effective in it's skin restoring and healing properties. I would not change to any other tissue oil brand as this one has been it for me. When I was a teen, I was very prone to acne which resulted in alot of scarring on my face. When I started with this product, I was a bit skeptical as it is an oil and thaught it would do more harm than good. But boy was I so wrong! The scarring disappered and I could also walk with clear skin like all the other girls. It never made my skin really greasy and didn't provoke more breakouts like I thought it would. The only thing about Bio-oil is that one has to use it everyday and religiously for results to be seen. I use Bio-oil on my face, my stretch marks and dry ares.Use it on everything!My mom used it throughout her pregnancies, and now I've passed on the "secret" to my lil sister after she had an operation on her legs and is very worried about the scars.
I am a huge tissue oil fan and use the Justine one every day as part of my beauty routine, so I was very excited to get the new Bio-Oil in my goodie bag! Thanks so much Lori and Kerri!! I think that the new Bio-Oil is absolutely amazing! It is nicely absorbed as long as you dont use too much and nourishes parched skin perfectly!
Ive been using the new bio-oil for some time now, i did not use the old product and i must say that i absolutely love the product. As chloe previously stated, it gets absorbed so quickly into the skin, nobody would want to sit and massage oil in for long, so im really happy about the product. Being in a wheelchair and sitting in all the time, one develops stretch-marks in the weirdest places. I bought this product to help me wit my prob areas. Look, i must say that i havent noticed a "huge" difference in their appearance, and they are very new scars, but im hoping that prolonged use will def make an impact. ive been using it for about 6months now.
I’ve used the Bio oil in the older formula without Purcellin Oil and loved it, so I do love this new Bio Oil that contains that special ingredient. I thought it would be exactly the same, but there is a slight difference. The new formula still has the nice smell the old one had, the difference is that the new formula really gets absorbed even faster than the old one. After you apply it on your skin, it gets absorbed immediately and not greasy at all. I love the fact that you can use this on your face and body. I’ve used this on my face last winter when my skin was dehydrated, and my skin felt and appeared a lot more moisturised with any greasiness at all. It’s a great skin treatment to do before bed if you are experiencing dry skin and it also evens out your skin tone with consistent use.
I use this product on my stretch marks as well. I have noticed a small difference but that’s because I haven’t been using it as consistently as I should. I know when I did use it every day for a long period of time, the marks were a lot less evident. So the secret to reduce stretch marks is to use it daily, twice if you can for a minimum of 3 months to see effective results.
I had terrible scars coming out of a horrific accident, from my surgery and where the glass of the car window cut my face. from the time of my hospitalization, just after my scars were healed, my mom(my personal angel) knew how much i would hate my scars and started applying the bio-oil. it has been months now and my scars are hardly noticeable, the are no longer so deep and their size has decreased. i was so impressed i wrote into bio-oil telling them my story and thanking them for such a gorgeous product.
I bought this after a holiday in the sun to nourish my skin a bit. I also put on weight and lost it again, and got left with a few stretchmarks. I used this only for about 2/3 months and the scars dissapeared! Yay! A must-have if you are pregnant, or if you already have stretchies, works like a charm!
