Helped Moisturize but did not help my scar
I tried Bio Oil to help with scars I got from an accident. Unfortunately, after more than 8 weeks of using every day I did not see a difference in my scars. My skin in general did feel softer..it definitely is a good moisturizer/hydrator - helped smooth skin texture of dry legs..especially good after bath/shaving. I then tried Scaraway silicone sheets which helped tremendously with my scar. It flattened the red bumpy lines and faded the red within a few weeks, so scaraway is definitely better for scars, but I will still use BioOil for skin conditioning in general.
As with anything, results may vary.
I have been using Bio-Oil, 2-Ounce Bottle for about three months now as a preventative solution to pregnancy stretch marks. I started to use it during my first trimester in hopes of avoiding dreaded stretch marks. I am now six months pregnant and I have no visible sign of stretch marks however I know this might change. There is no product out there that can prevent them and quite honestly whether you get them or not is largely due to many other factors that a cream or oil could do nothing about. Stretch marks happen from the inside out and although moisturizing helps it's only an aid. How each person's skin reacts is different and in my case I did see some lightening of marks I had prior to pregnancy but I am not going to bet the farm that this will ... Read More
A waste of money
I am currently 9 months pregnant, and i have been using Bio-Oil, 2-Ounce Bottle since I was about 4 months. I have wasted my money using Bio-Oil, 2-Ounce Bottle everyday because the bigger you get in pregnancy, the more bio oil you have to use. Once your stomach gets larger, you will go through a bottle in about 2-3 weeks. At first I thought Bio-Oil, 2-Ounce Bottle worked, but once I got about 7 1/2 months, the stretch marks started to appear. I should have listened to the sales lady in Walgreens and kept it on the shelf.
Good daily moisturnizer..Does NOTHING for scars
I first bought Bio-Oil, 2-Ounce Bottle in Jan '07 after reading rave reviews for it online. I suffer from terrible acne scars (some pitted, some superficial) all over my face and heard that this oil was a veritable mircale worker. I have been using it religiously as directed (twice a day for over a year now) and it has made absolutely NO difference to the appearance of my scars whatsover. So as a treatment for scars (both serious and superficial scars) it does absolutely NOTHING and I give it a 1 star as far as scar treatment goes. But it is a great mosturizer and for this function I give it 5 stars. It sinks into my skin and gives it a magical luminosity that no other face mosturizers can.
Good, but Not a Miraculous!
I bought Bio-Oil, 2-Ounce Bottle because I'm pregnant and I wanted to avoid strech marks. I've been using Bio-Oil, 2-Ounce Bottle for 2 months now, after shower only. I have tried it on old scars, but no improvement at all. I have also tried it on darkish spots on my legs and arms (too much sun bathing in the past!)and it has shown good improvement! Besides that, of course, I'm using it on my belly (5 months preggy!)and so far no strech marks (but maybe I would never had them, who knows?!)!
I like the oily consistency for the body, but would not apply to the face.
It may work for some skin types, better than others, it's a hard call. In doubt, I tried it!
