...is Bio-Oil? ⌂⌂⌂
Bio-Oil is produced in South Africa by Union-Swiss. The company was established in 1954 producing personal care products but since 2004 has concentrated solely on the production, marketing and distribution of Bio-Oil. Their claim is that Bio-Oil will help improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone and its special ingredient "PurCellin Oil" makes it highly effective for many other skin concerns ... ...I decided to try the Bio-Oil on a scar on my knee. At school I fell over playing tennis and broke my arm. The hospital was more concerned about the arm and just stuck a plaster on my profusely bleeding knee. I now have a raised pink circular scar on my right knee. I used the Bio-Oil twice a day on my knee for four months before giving up with no noticeable changes. It is probably unfair to expect an old scar (it's impolite to ask a girl her age but ...

After studying the preen gland oil of a duck, skincare scientists realised ... ...the main, unique ingredient of Bio-Oil - 'PurCellin Oil'. This ingredient works by coating a thin protective layer over the skins surface aiding the penetration of the other more common natural oils that Bio-Oil contains: Lavender, Calendula and Rosemary Oil. This is something that no other product on the market does. This is why I find Bio-Oil to be so special. Bio-Oil contains only natural herbal ingredients and has no preservatives (Unlike a lot ...

I have been using Bio Oil twice a day for the last six months and I am amazed at the results. I had never heard of Bio Oil before until my mum bought me a bottle, she bought me a bottle of it because I was forever complaining about the appearance of the stretch marks I have on my belly and boobs.

I had heard of this product before but hadn't really paid much attention to it, so I went out and bought a bottle and started to rub it into Erin's scars daily. At first I personally found this quite upsetting with the large scar being very red, quite raised and rough and the 5 smaller keyhole incisions also being quite red. I was scared I would hurt Erin whilst rubbing the oil into her skin but gradually ... ...similar to baby oil. Bio-oil is available in 3 different sizes 60mls, 125mls and 250mls.

I find it easiest to put a few drops in the palm of my hand and then massage gently to Erin's tummy. I like to massage the area for a good few minutes making sure the oil is completely absorbed. ...

I was first introduced to Bio Oil about some years ago. My sister had recommended this product after she had her baby and it had left her with unsightly stretch marks that refused to budge even with recommended stretch mark creams.

About 8 years ago my mum was diagnosed with throat cancer. She under went a very big operation in which she had parts of her throat, jaw and tongue removed. After the operation her neck was covered in staples and she has stitches in he chin and mouth. She had that much metal and thread holding her face together that she looked like something out of ... ...who was about five at the time would keep his distance from her and would avoid her if he had the chance. The result is all this surgery left lots of scaring. Now my mum stays near Glasgow and I stay in Edinburgh so I don’t see her as much as I would like. She came to visit us and I noticed that her scares were barely noticeable. When I told her this she told me that she had been using Bio Oil for a few months now. I thought this was a great sounding ...

...I saw an advert for Bio-Oil in a magazine and casually thought I might give it a try. I forgot about it for a while, and then, on spotting it on the shelf on my next Boots visit, I thought 'Why not?'
I think I paid £8.49 for my 60ml bottle, which sounds a lot, but it does, as I had expected, last for a long time.
