while bio oil is great for moisturising skin it definitely did not make a difference to my scars or marks even with continued use i saw no difference. overall its an okay product
I have been using Bio-Oil for many years to improve the appearance of stretch marks and many an old scar. However the other day when I was playing with my puppy I was left with quite a long and nasty scratch on my leg. As it was healing I realised how dry the area was and that it was going to leave a scar. I started using Bio-Oil as soon as it was safe to do so (no more open wound) and I immediately saw an improvement in my skin’s condition where I had applied Bio-Oil. The mark has greatly diminished and soon it will be completely gone. Bio-Oil not only improves the condition of the skin leaving it more hydrated and supple it also has a lovely fragrance. A couple of drops added to a warm bath after a long day relaxes mind and body.
Been using bio oil for years now and it never fails to impress. When all other products fail me,I have often counted on bio oil to keep my skin hydrated, beautifully scented and maintain my even tone. Love it!
I bought a 200ml bottle for an old scar on my thigh. The bottle is almost gone and I haven't noticed any change in the appearance of the scar. I will buy another bottle and keep applying throughout the winter season to see if there will be any change. However, I started applying Bio Oil on a new scar and that mark has disappeared. I also used the oil as a moisturiser every evening on my face and that has worked out great. I noticed that the marks I had on my face have disappeared. I will definitely continue using it as a moisturiser every night during the winter season. I have come to the conclusion that Bio Oil works faster on fresh scars & marks whilst older scars and stretch marks require prolonged use for a more noticeable improvement in their appearance. The 200ml bottle goes a long way.
I've started using Bio Oil to lighten some scars from a previous operation. It smells nice...a bit oily when you first put it on, But makes my skin feel soft. It's easily absorbed and a little oil goes a long way.
Bio oil is a personal favorite of mine and I often use it to supplement my daily body lotion and moisturizer. It manages to make skin look and feel supple with the added bonus of a great fragrance. The 200 ml bottle lasts a couple of months so it is cost effective. My only problem is that it takes time for scars and stretch marks to disappear. It's a bit frustrating because one often gets tempted to think that the product doesn't work. Otherwise, with a little bit of patience spanning over a couple of months, scars and stretch marks will gradually fade.
Bio Oil is one of those products I have a love hate relationship with. I have a few scars from when I was little and someone recommended I try bio-oil. I found that it worked slightly if you used it over time. Maybe like for a year straight. It is also not a miracle product. I used it consistently for a year and my scars did not go away. It just looked a bit better. If you are not going to use it all the time, you will not see results. I like putting a little bio oil in my bath water when my skin feels incredibly dry. It is the best moisturizer I could ask for. It also smells nice so you don't have to worry about your skin smelling like chemicals or anything odd.
I use the Bio Oil for my uneven skin tone and saw results which was such a relief for me as it has been bothering me for such a long time. I add some to the bath to soften my skin too.
Had a few scars and applied Bio Oil to it. I must say that you do notice a difference when it is used but teh effects are not long lasting and you have to keep on using the product to see the difference.
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 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:
