too bad about this product....
I have used bio oil in the past for a stubborn scar and it does seem to help. It is very luxurious and does make your skin feel special. Unfortunately, this product does not carry the bunny sign that makes it cruelty free. After checking with companies that know, this product IS tested on animals. What makes it more disappointing is that on bio oil website it states it doesn't test. I don't support companies that lie to me. if you are cruelty free you would use that as part of your marketing as it is very important nowadays.
on top of that, some of the ingredients are petroleum based, which is well known to harm your skin and is also toxic. Better products that don't test on animals and with less side effects are available.
Not what I expected
I find that this product is good for those who have really dry skin or stretch marks but it doesn't do much for evening out my skin tone & I've given it quite some time to work (more than 4 months).
Gives me pimples
Not sure if this product really works as every time I try to use it, it gives me pimples . I think it's just to oily... I'm currtley trying the product again too see if I have the same results. On the pkg it recommends to rub in completely but that is pretty hard and takes awhile.
I've used this product according to directions for way longer than recommended and noticed no difference. I have since found other products that work well for the intended purpose of Bio oil. I disliked the greasy feel that was very hard to get rid of after applying.
Does not do anything it claims. I used this oil through out my pregrancy and no results. However it very moisturizing without no greasy feeling . And a little goes along away
This is very good. The oil makes me feel good about what I am applying on my body. It has not really faded my scars, but it feels nice. The problem is that they put cheap oils in this product and they are not cold pressed.
I have attempted on multiple occasions to use this product. First, when I noticed I had stretch marks beginning on my thighs I used it 3 times a day for 4 months. No effect. I tried again when I had a rather large scar on my knee form again I used it 3 times a day, this time for 6 months. Still no effect. I have begrudgingly returned to it for the stretch marks forming on my sides. I have been using it now for 8 months and have seen no effect. The main reason I keep trying it is because other girls have sworn by it. I have a slightly higher pigmentation in my skin being half black, therefore my scars tend to appear significantly darker and do not fade. Unfortunately, this oil has yet to help.
I would not suggest this to anyone trying to treat hyper-pigmentation scars and dark stretch marks.
From my personal experience I didn't gain any positive effects after using this product on mulitple occasions on multiple areas. I found the smell to not be that favourable either, along with the moisturizing to be short lived as well.
This hasn't helped my pregnancy stretch marks like I had hoped but everyone is different.
I do love the smell of it and love the product overall.
I recommend this
I purchased bio oil to use during my first pregnancy and started using it around the middle of the second trimester. It was moisturizing but I didnt feel like it prevented me from getting stretch marks.
