Bio Oil

Has anyone ever used this? It is supposed to be good for scars, stretch marks and blemishes. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I've used it and I wasn't that impressed. It takes a long time to do anything, and then that's not much.

For scars I recommend the Elastoplast Scar Reduction Plasters.

I haven't tried Bio Oil.
I know that Rosehip Oil (Rosa Mosqueta) is recommended for scars, stretch marks etc. I have used it myself ( scars, i have no stretch marks, hahahahaha)and been quite impressed, if you do a google search their have been studies conducted where it has been rated as being very effective

I swear by the stuff. I had terrible skin before due to acne scars and other teenage skin. After about six months of using it I rarely wear foundation and my skin glows. My sister uses it for scars and her stretchmarks which have faded significantly after using it.

It will instantly make your skin in a better condition and it should start improving marks after a couple of months. I would definatly reccomend it. Its not cheap but shop around on the internet and you can get it for around six pounds a bottle. To cut costs on using it over your body add a few drops to your usual body cream or a bottle of baby oil.

Thanks for all the replies.

It is currently on offer in Superdrug for £7.49 so I may well give it a go as I have a 10% off £10 voucher.

Am so glad to read a positive report as I've bought some today!!

My daughter has used it on stretch marks and scars and was overjoyed at the results which were almost immediate. She also said that a little goes a long way.

I went to buy the bio oil today and it came up at £14.99 at till. The girl said I had the large size instead of the one on offer. When I checked that was the only size so the manager gave it me for £7.49, plus I got 10% off.

I brought some Bio oil, after the birth of my second, but i personally found it very messy, maybe i'm just not an oily person!!!

but i have so read that it can take up to 6-12months of twice daily usage, before it shows any positive results, and with 2 kids, I dont have the time to treat and oil myself.

I bought some but haven't used it as the scar is on my head, behind my ear, and I don't want to get the pillows oily and it doesn't actually show because it's hidden by my hair ... mind you I may start using it as where they shaved it it's getting very itchy as the hair re-grows. I'll just have to wrap my head up if I start using it, because I would HATE my hair to look greasy!
