Bio Oil

Advantages: Reduces stretchmarks, uneven skin tone, scars etc
Disadvantages: A little bit expensive but worth it

...and blemishes. Bio Oil is oil based and has a gorgeous scent which is quite light and calming. The Bio Oil is quite runny and is fairly similar to baby oil; it is absorbed into your skin very quickly and doesn't leave it feeling greasy or sticky. Bio Oil contains natural ingredients and is preservative free, so it is a safe product for people with skin allergies to use. There are seven main ingredients in Bio Oil which help to treat skin blemishes and scar tissue and these are: * Vitamin A helps to improve the elasticity of the skin giving it a more even texture and tone. * Vitamin E helps to make your skin feel softer, smoother and supple. The Vitamin E also helps to keep your skin looking very healthy. * I have never heard of Calendula oil before but that is because it is most commonly referred to as Marigold. Calendula Oil or Marigold...

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

B12 - the forgotten vitamin

Advantages: Essential to a healthy body and mind
Disadvantages: Lack of it can result in a very serious condition

...Many people nowadays take vitamin supplements either in the belief that they will prevent illnesses such as colds, or because they feel they are not getting enough essential vitamins from their lifestyle. Of course when you have a vitamin deficiency, supplements can be an essential part of your life. You have probably heard of anaemia, which is a blood condition where the red blood cells cannot transport enough oxygen to the cells due to a deficiency, which results in symptoms including fatigue, breathlessness and appearing pale. The most well known form is Iron - deficient anaemia, where the blood is lacking in Iron, which is needed in the formation of red blood cells. Also essential and much less well known, are folic acid and vitamin b12. If any of these substances are lacking, anaemia results. After a spell in...

bio brilliance

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: may look a tad small for the price but lasts forever.

...After dealing with spots which feels like forever i found that I had scarrs if you like, left over after the spot had gone, and though in time they would fade, they'd be extremley annoying. So I gave this product a try after my cousin recommended it to me. One word - excellence. It might be a tad on the expeinsive side but it keeps for ages, I still have mine and its around a year old - expiry dates not until 2011 lol. Over night you can notice a total difference. This stuffs not just great for acne scars, its brilliant for deeper scars too, like, ironing scars, cooking scars, it hydrates, smells realy nice and I definitley recommend it! It can be used for other things too such as cellulite, My aunt said it works brilliantly for that (I trust her judgement) so bio oil has a variety of uses, it contains also Vitamin E too which...

  Bio-Oil

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: A little expensive

...she told me that she had been using Bio Oil for a few months now. I thought this was a great sounding product so I decided that I would have to give it a try. I have got really bad stretch marks that I got when I was having my kids and I have a few scare that I have got from spot. So I thought that if this works that well on my mums scares it will surely work on me. ** My mum has lots of health problems now but on a good point the cancer has not came back. WHAT IS IT It is oil that can be used anywhere on the face and body. It was first launched on to the market in 1987 after a 20-year research program. The idea of the product was first thought of while studying water birds and how they managed to keep there feather looking good even though they were constantly in the water. After extensive research into the birds preen glad oil...

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

  The Secret Is In The Ingredients... Bio-Oil

Advantages: It really does work, perfect for anyone of any age, smells lovely.
Disadvantages: Slightly over priced.

..., and these are vitamins A & E - the vitamins that are required to maintain healthy and supple skin. It may also be worth noting that I have very sensitive skin but can use Bio-Oil without suffering any form of a reaction. So, so far, we have a unique combination of essential oils and vitamins, if that isn't good enough it even has chamomile extract to help soothe your skin too! **Application & What Can It Be Used For** Bio-Oil is non-greasy and is a very light formula, it is clear in colour and if making comparisons is probably the same consistency of baby oil. I simply apply Bio-Oil to any part of my skin and get dressed straight away as it doesn't rub off onto material. -Use on the side of caution as with any oily product a little really does go a long way- After application, it doesn't leave your skin with an oily appearance...

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

Bio Oil

Advantages: Gives the skin a smooth even appearance.
Disadvantages: None really, perhaps a bit too greasy if you put too much on.

...I decided to try Bio-Oil after spending lots of money on other products to try and eradicate the blemishes and uneven skin tone on my face. After a week of using Bio-Oil I could see a difference in my skin ton, brightness, and also the smoothness of my skin. It also helped to smooth out wrinkles under my eyes, an area which I have tried many products on and none of them have made a difference. It also helped smooth the appearance of visible pores around my nose are. As long as you don't use too much it is not greasy ans sinks in straight away. I now use it everyday and would not buy anything else. I have also found that although it seems quite a small bottle, it has lasted me weeks as you do not need to use very much at all....

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

The use of Bio Oil on Keloid Scar Tissue

Advantages: For use on keloid or hypertrophic scar tissue = none
Disadvantages: Un-effective for keloid and hypertrophic scar tissue

...This review is aimed specifically for individuals who, like myself, suffer from the development of minor keloid or hypertrophic scar tissue and who may be thinking about trying Bio Oil in an attempt to reduce the appearance of such scars. Keloid and hypertrophic scarring affects around 10% of people and can form following any surgical procedure or even after injections, spots and piercings in extreme cases. Bright red areas of scarring form which may become raised and extend away from the initially affected area. They are ugly but are notoriously difficult to treat effectively . I?ve known about my propensity towards such scarring since I was around 14. Following my BCG injection at the top of my arm the area became intensely inflamed and painful. I couldn?t sleep on that side of my body for months. Once healed the scar...
