Also, because oil contains no oxygen, it provides an exceptional storage environment for vitamins. Bio-Oil includes many beneficial skin ingredients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin E, calendula oil, lavender oil, rosemary oil, and chamomile oil. This mix of plant oils and vitamins has been clinically shown to be beneficial to the skin.
Effective on Scars and Stretch Marks
Bio-Oil helps improve the appearance of all types of scars and is also highly effective in helping maintain elasticity of scar tissue on joints and other high-mobility areas, including stretch marks. Ideal for pregnant women, particularly in their second and third trimesters, Bio-Oil is the product most recommended by UK pharmacists to help reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and pregnancy stretch marks.
Great for Skin Tone and Dry Skin
Bio-Oil helps improve the appearance of uneven skin tone caused by excessive sun, hormonal fluctuations, or skin-lighteners. Sagging and wrinkled skin that is associated with aging also benefits from Bio-Oil. Much wrinkled and sagging skin is caused by the weakening of the collagen and elastin support system in the dermis. Bio-Oil helps soften and smooth the skin, making it more supple and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Bio-Oil also does a wonderful job at moisturizing and has sufficient moisturizing properties so as to render an additional moisturizer unnecessary.
Non-Acnegenic and Hypo-Allergenic
Bio-Oil is a non-acnegenic and hypo-allergenic product, meaning it has a decreased tendency to cause allergies and acne, and it is safe for use on sensitive skin.

UPDATE 2: Bio-oil continued to work, and it actually helped the scar area look all the same when I got some sun on it this summer. I did find a picture of the original injury (it's not for the squeamish, but it will show how long my original was. UPDATE: It has been a little over three weeks since I started using Bio-oil. In fact, I stopped using it four days ago to see if the positive results were only temporary. While I was using Bio-oil on the liver spots, not only did the spots fade, but other nearby spots (2.5 inches away) faded, too, even though they were not applied directly with Bio-oil. The spots came back after two days of not using Bio-oil, not as dark, as they were, but they did come back. My forehead scar has continued to disappear even after I stopped, so I am going to continue putting Bio-oil on it. Not only has the scar tissue turned from being reddish to now looking like the my regular skin color, the area of the scar which was a little higher is now...Read more 71 of 73 people found the following review helpful: By omg "wtf" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Bio-Oil, 2-Ounce Bottle (Health and Beauty) I bought this stuff and used up one bottle (lasted about 2 months). At first I used it on my face for hyper-pigmentation and scaring left over from acne and on parts of my body for stretch marks. I ended up getting several huge cystic nodules from it on my face. Also it made my face very greasy and constantly looked wet. So it wasn't good for my face but I decided to keep trying it for stretch marks. I used it diligently for 2 months like it says on the bottle and took before and after pictures. There are no noticeable differences. I do not want to recommend that people do not buy this product because it seems some people have had great results with it. I googled it and it turns out that bio-oil is made with mineral oil which is a petroleum based byproduct. I did some more digging and learned that contrary to popular belief Mineral oil is not comedogenic (pore clogging) but it does however produce a suffocation effect on your skin and makes it unable to absorb nutrients...Read more |
