i have dry skin and winters in jhb doesn’t help. I was a faithful user of Palmer’s Cocoa Butter and used to receive compliments on my skin all the time. About 5 years ago I stopped using it because the smell interfered with my perfume. So I’ve been in search of something to replace it and it looks like I found it. I had been using it for a couple of weeks and a woman I worked with commented on my arms. She said “Your skin just looks so soft I want to touch your arms”. When I told her what I had been using she said she would go pick some up. But ever since then, I use it every night before I go to bed. I can’t wait to see my skin at the end of the year
I used Bio-Oil throughout my pregnancy. I used it on my tummy and have one stretch mark approx 1cm in length, i did NOT use it on my legs and bum and i have stretch marks that could be a road map!!! I didn’t feel that it did much in terms of lightening my already existent stretch marks but it definitely helped to prevent them
many people are firm believers of bio oil and i always get told to use it on any scarring that i have, i decided to go ahead and try it. my personal opinion is that it never really helped me, i didnt see a change in my marks, maybe after long term use, there will be a difference however after 3 months of using i found no change.
Bio-Oil was recommended to me by a friend, it really helped improve the appearance of my stretch marks and. I also use it for my face. It works wonders.
Bio-Oil is easily absorbed and help tremendously with my dehydrated skin. It also smells great. I use Bio-Oil on my face and body.
In the Winter months, my pigmentation-ridden skin can sometimes need a little extra boost of moisture; especially after a few days of wearing fairly heavy makeup. I massage Bio-Oil onto my face once or twice a week as a night time treatment after cleansing & toning. Not only does this product work on reducing the pigmentation, but when I wake up the next morning, my skin feels SUPER soft and hydrated, and it does not break my skin out at all. I was very hesitant to use an oil on my skin, but the skin really soaks up this fabulous product and I will continue to treat my skin once a week in this way for the foreseeable future.
I read a article and was also told that the Bio Oil helps to reduces scars and stretch marks. I bought Bio Oil Body Oil I used it for just over a year and found no improvement. I still have my stretch and scar from my operation. What I found worked well is that I have dry skin. So I put a few drops in my body lotion daily and this helps keep my skin hydrated.
I used Bio Oil when I had an op, and it definitely helped to fade the scars really well. I’ve used it on my face and the rest of my body as well, when my skin has been very dry and it works wonders!
I’ve got friends who have used this product and they got results. But truly speaking it never worked for me. I tried this product when I was 18 for about 6 months and I got no joy what so ever. So I wouldn’t try it again
Bio oil is an absolute life saver! It kept my skin looking great through my pregnancy and I can out of it with minimal stretch marks. I love using it in the bath as a bath oil to moisturize my skin and it’s also fantastic to rub on my legs, helps even skin tone and dry skin. Totally skin’s best friend.
So Bio Oil works wonders on the scars but can they do something about the scent it really not a nice smell.It is a good scar product
