    anyone test this today? I have been using bio oil and it is really good for getting rid of scars and at this price it is a BARGAIN!

    Thanks OP, great find. Checked online as I will not be able to get to a store before the weekend and the deal isn't working on Boots.com. They are, however, offering 200ml bio-oil on BOGOF.

    Thanks OP - excellent find.

    I tried the Piccadilly Circus branch early today and this did work, however, the sales assistance noticed there was a glitch and `solved`it by just scanning the bottles 4 times so that it ended up coming to the correct price of £39.98! I should have just used the self service tills...does anyone know if the 3 for 1 deal would work on these?

    Great product but Boots glitches are very hit and miss. Unfortunately there are no self-service tills at my local branch, and the staff are v vigilant to any untoward bargains. Tbh I've more or less given up with Boots for that reason.

  • Brilliant. Worked in Reading Calcot. I even said to the guy serving it seemed cheap, he said "I just do what the till says".
