"Great for scars, uneven skin tone, moisturizing, stretch marks, but be PATIENT with the results" 2008-03-14
By A. Roberts (High Desert, California)
Heck not every product out there is a miracle worker, I am sure very few give overnight results. I began using this product every single day about two months ago and it works WONDERS. First you can use it for stretch marks but with a 2 oz. bottle I would stick with small areas. Then you can use it for scars and to moisturize your face and neck, ladies! You must follow the instructions even though they are pretty simple. If I am using this for acne scars, skin discolorations (sun exposure), uneven skin tone I apply either over makeup (may not be recommended as this could remove your makeup)and on a freshly washed face. I use the lengths of my fingers not fingertips since they produce the oils that could cause you breakouts from YES touching your face. I rub into the affected area or scar (even works on cystic acne scars) atleast two to three times a day when I am able to. But if not I do this at night before going to bed. Be patient and wait one to two weeks before you notice a big difference as the scar gets lighter your face appears to be glowing and skin discolorations slowly fade. Keep on it atleast everyday and if you want faster results like I did then rub this oil into the area two to three times a day. I am glad I bought this and one bottle lasted me over two months and I used it everyday! Give this product a try, be patient, follow the directions and you may not be disappointed.

I saw a commercial on TV and it caught my eyes. Immediately ordered it (from Amazon, of cource). I've been struggling with acne for years, I have acne scars all over my face (I'm in 30s). Although I don't get many breakouts as I used to, I still have one or two zits come out and they are big, painful ones. When they finally heal, it leaves dark, red-brownish scar. I really wanted them go away.
I've read all the mixed reviews, so didn't expect much. But it worked! I am pleasantly surprised. I only applied at night after I wash my face. Though the texture is light for oil, it does get greasy when applied, I don't think it's appropriate for morning application on face. As many have mentioned, it is oil afterall. However, when I woke up in the morning, greasiness are gone and my skin feels soft and moisturized.
I've been using this once a day for 3 weeks now and I DO see a difference. The unevenness and redness are significantly reduced. I'm not saying they are completely gone, but acne scars look much lighter now. A surprizing side effect is that I haven't got any breakout since I started using this product. My skin is finally acne-free! I've tried many, many things over the years, but never thought of applying oil on my skin rather tried to avid it. I don't know if this still works during summer time as my skin tends to get oily, but I'll keep using it. I know it didn't work for some people but it did great job on my acne-prone skin. Thank you Bio-Oil!!
"Recommend for all pregnant women" 2008-05-25
By E.S (College Park, MD)
I was given this product first by a friend from England as she had had lots of success with her stretch marks. At the time I didn't use it but then I got pregnant and of course those stretch marks started to arrive. I loved the feel of the oil on my skin and found that it really helped in reducing the itching while my body was stretch into forms I knew not. I do have stretch marks but I feel the oil kept them down and also helped my skin deal with the pregnancy. I have also found that when I have a cold it was a great product to dab on my nose and stopped it from drying out. I love this product and now always have a bottle near by.
UPDATE:
It is 4 months since I gave birth to my son and I have been using Bio-Oil on my stretch marks almost every day. I have found my stretch marks look a lot better. I do have one on my side that I always seem to miss and I can see a difference between that one that has not received any Bio-Oil in the sense it is a lot redder than the others.
"My Skin Sez: Bio-Oil is a Winner!" 2008-03-25
By Alejandra Vernon (Long Beach, California)
The biggest test with any skin cream or oil with me, is will I be able to tolerate it, because my skin is so sensitive. Bio-Oil was such a pleasure to smooth on and massage in; my skin must have been thirsty, because it soaked in and feels like silk after applying it per directions ("massaging gently with the fingertips in a circular motion until fully absorbed"). It has practically no scent (and the slight aroma is quite pleasant) and does not leave a greasy feeling on your hands (your hands are actually getting the benefit of this marvelous oil as you apply it!).
My testing area for this product is a disaster area: My famously scraggly neck, and also the increasingly crepey skin on my upper chest. I will diligently apply Bio-Oil twice a day on these 2 areas and post an update to this review in 30 days. It is supposed to be good for aging skin, which at 63, would be my category, as well as scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, and dehydrated skin. If I see an improvement, this will be my skincare product for the rest of my life, because I love the feel of it!
The bottle is well designed with a plastic insert so that you get a small measured amount on your fingertips (ever get those bottles from the health stores that plop out a mess of oil all over you?) and the 2 fl. oz of oil looks like it will last a while, unless I go crazy with it and use it from head to toe every day. Thank you Bio-Oil, so far so good!
Update 4/4/08: I didn't have to wait that long to see big results. Now it's 10 days after the first application, and the improvement on my upper chest is most noticible. Scraggly neck looks much better too. Thank you Bio-Oil!
