    I'm pretty sure I've seen the 'rescue oil' in Home Bargains Bolton branch this weekend.:beer:
  • My Mum brought a 'rescue oil' from her local wilkinsons and she said although its not exactly the same as 'bio oil' for the price its worth trying to see what you think.

    Since using the rescue oil evey night b4 bed for over 2 weeks.
    I feel tat my skin is more supple, and have even skin tone all over my face.
    I use to b4 using the oil wake up with dry patches on my cheeks even if i had applied face cream the nite b4.
    I use a light day cream in the morning and tat is enough to keep my skin mousitered through to the night.

    I use the Rescue Oil for my dry skin, and I have found a big improvement in it. I buy it from Home Bargains, £1.99 :D

  • I bought a 60ml bottle of Bio-Oil from ebay for £3 and its doing wonders for my spot scars aswell as dry skin. Its sort of like a moisturiser for me now. Anywho... my mum was impressed with the results i was getting and bought some rescue oil, she says it isn't as good as Bio-Oil, but it does the job and she can feel it smoothening her skin already. I've tried the rescue oil and it seems watered down compared to Bio-Oil. But if you can get it at Poundland like my mum did, you can't really complain ;)
  • Thanks for all the tips on the rescue oil - bought some today in wilkinsons for £1.89. They also had the bio oil for like £7.60 or so, compared the ingredients list & bio oil is better with retinol palmitate listed for starters, which the rescue oil doesn't contain, but for the price I'm willing to give it a try & see how I get on!
  • It's strange seeing a product feted as a cheaper substitute for Bio Oil - which itself was first a sensational discovery for ladies spending umpteen pounds on a few mills of Decleor's "aromessences". Whatever next?

  • Quality Save / Home Bargains has the real Bio Oil for £5.99 (its in the display cabinet with very-well-priced perfumes). The £1 shops are selling the Rescue oil (its £1, LOL).

    Hi Chris... i use it twice a day on my face/neck and sometimes my body. Depending how dry my skin is. Its a fantastic moisturiser, and smells nice(you only need to use a small amount). It can also reduce the look of scars/stretch marks over time if used regularly. I personally recommend it. Although i havent tried the other cheaper brand similar to 'Bio Oil' so i cant advise you on that, Sorry.
