I have been using Bio oil for the past 12 yrs now, it has been my companion from after pubity stretch marks through to having 2 beautiful girls. During pregnancy I developed stretch marks that looked like purple slash marks, my 2nd daughter is now 1 yr old and from consistent use of Bio oil every night I can proudly say that patience is a virtue as I have only fine silvery lines. I also use Bio oil as a night treatment , for my daughters uneven skin tone through sunburn and even bruises or mosquito bites, this is a diverse product that works!

Stretch marks is every woman’s nightmare especially after or during pregnancy , and with me it was even worse up till I tried out the Bio-Oil and it worked well for me. My marks are almost gone and what’s nice is that it lock in your skin’s moisture, making the skin feel revitalized. Only thing is it takes time to work, so you must be real persistent if you want to see the results

This is an amazing product, not only for scars or cellulite. But I have used it on my face especially at night. Also it natural and can be used as a moisturizer and works well on your hair too.
I started using Bio Oil when my mom got it for me after spotting my first teenage pimple. There is nothing like it. Iuse it on every scar I get, when my skin is extremely dry from swimming or in winter I rub it on after a bath or shower. After a tough day I also like to treat myself to a bath with some essential oils in, but as some of these can be quite strong, I use Bio Oil as a base oil for mixing the essential oils before adding them to my bath. I put a little bottle in my basket every month, and the other tisse oils out there just do not measure up. A real everyday gem that everyone should be using!
I have a 5 and 3 year old, and when I found out I was pregnant with my first baby, I immediately started using Bio Oil for my body and let me tell you this works. After 2 babies, my skin has minimal stretch marks. My family have used this to get rid of burn scars, and now I am using it for my 3 year old daughter who suffers from eczema scars. This product is trusted and definitely lives up to its promises. Its a product you can rely on.

This tissue oil has been part of my life since my teenage days, during my pregnancy and at the present moment in time. I have 100% trust in Bio Oil as it has provided me with glowing and nourished skin. And yes, it really DOES prevent stretch marks if used religiously. My favourite way to apply this cult status oil, is straight after a bath when my skin is a little moist. The result is silky and flawless skin! The bonus is the price as I know that I will be using Bio Oil right up until my dying day. True love indeed!

I started to use Bio-Oil on a burn scar after I have seen the ad in a magazine. It really helped me heal faster and the scar disappeared after a while. One does need to be consistent with its use though and not forget to use it daily.
I have since started to use this product on my extremely dry skin. I have battled to find a product that keeps my skin moisturised all day long. All I can say is WOW! What an improvement in my skin condition, appearance and even elasticity! This is the only product so far that keeps my skin soft and looking radiant throughout the day! The improvement is remarkable and I will recommend it to anyone!
PROS: Works on anyone from babies to burn marks! It is so cost-effective. One only uses a few drops at a time. I love the soft smell (not overpowering at all). It really makes a difference to one’s skin if you stick with it.
CON: You need to use it regularly and not skip days (as with any skin care product). Be careful when you use it to not spill on your clothes and one needs to wipe the bottle from time to time. (A small price to pay for this remarkable product1).

Bio-Oil is AMAZING. I mix it with my body lotion to just give my skin some all round care, and also to combat those nasty shaving scars on my legs.

This product makes the skin silkier and it softens scars.

I love this product. I used it at least once a day before, throughout and after my 3 pregnancies, lucky to say I have no stretchmarks. I also love a few drops in the bath, great for my daughters dry skin. I love it on my face and neck before I go to sleep. A little goes a long way. I always need a bottle in my house.
