No wonder Bio-Oil is one of the most famous body oils – it truly is a classic.
Although the packaging might not attract your attention with a plain white box and a simple orange logo, after one use you won’t turn back.
The oil can be used all over your body, in your bath for a luxurious experience, on stretch marks or scars and on dry skin.
The oil applies wonderfully to the skin but unlike other body oils, it doesn’t get fully absorbed into the skin. This leaves you with a slightly oily feeling to your skin.With no scent, bio oil doesn’t leave you smelling like anything.
My only issue with Bio-Oil is the screw on lid. After applying the body oil your hands tend to be slippery and this makes closing the lid tricky.

There is a reason why Bio-Oil is a long standing best seller – it just works. Whether you’re trying to reduce the appearance of scars, attending to dry skin or just giving your body some TLC – this is a great body oil.

Many of us have grown up with Bio-Oil in our homes. This product is attractively packaged in convenient sizes. The product dispenses easily, however I have often wished that it came with a little pump dispenser. This would make the application slightly more convenient. The oil is absorbed quickly, and does not leave a sticky residue. Over time old scars became lighter and smoothed over. In winter I apply the oil when my skin is still damp to seal in the moisture. I often mix a drop into my hand cream to smooth over onto my heels and hands before bedtime. Once a week I will smooth it onto my face as an overnight booster treatment. Fantastic product and proudly SA.

I had to use this oil after getting shingles on my forehead, which apart from hurting A LOT, also left hideous marks. I was dubious at first, and the oil is very sticky and started to drip down my face as it heated. But I’m glad I put it on because months later, there is hardly any scarring.

Bio-oil is a specially formulated tissue oil made with PureCellin oil that allows for easy absorbtion.It reduces the appearances of Stretch marks Scars, Uneven Skin Tone, Aging Skin and Dehydrated Skin. It smells amazing and makes your skin soft after it is applied. Although it takes a while to notice the difference, it does work and is so worth buying

I’ve had a few biopsies and used bio oil to try and reduce the appearance of the surgical scars. To be honest it did not reduce the redness as much as I’d hoped. I found that as time went on the scar itself just started toning down with age. I also don’t really like the oiliness of these sort of products.

I had a big operation and used Bio Oil from the time the wound has healed, but sad to say it didn’t make the scar even a bit lighter. It is very good for dry skin however!
