bio-oil face cream

Advantages: helps cover scars etc
Disadvantages: none

...I have been using this face cream for quite a well now. I started to use it when i was in a car accident and i have quite a large scar in between my eyes. It's shaped like a backward L. For a year or two i kept putting on loads of make up to cover the scar. But i noticed this face cream and started using it twice a day. The redness in my scar has started to fade. The scar is really not noticeable now. I find the cream very reasonable. It's not too oily and goes on really easy. It has totally given me the confidence to not wear make-up and the scar has totally faded. The cream didn't irritate my skin, it made it feel soft and full of life again. The scar in between my eyes was quite sensitive but it ain't now thanks to Bio-oil. The product is great value for money and you can get it from most stores....

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

Olay gives complete care to prune faces!

Advantages: Works brilliantly
Disadvantages: Not sure if it's tested on animals

...I've never known anyone to dis this product! Lets face it our Mums and Grandma's are usually known for loving it through the generations! It's been around for ever this one and even though Olay have brought out other products far more revolutionary this, to me is still the best! The Packaging Of Olay Beauty Fluid.... Firstly the box is light pink and dark pink with a picture of the bottle on the front of it. On one side of the box it gives beauty tips. On the back it tells us why the moisturiser is right for us and how it works. On the other side of the tells us how to use it and ingredients. The bottle is a 100ml recyclable. On the front simple branding and on the back tells us again, how to use it. It has a black screw on lid doesn't look anything special just classic. So The Lotion..... The one I use is the non...

Review of Oil of Olay Complete Care Moisturising Fluid

Bio Oil

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

...particularly on your face which are caused by sun exposure then Bio Oil can also help to reduce the appearance of this. I don't have any blemishes or uneven skin tone so I can't comment on how Bio Oil helps to reduce the appearance of the marks. Ageing Skin ~ The Bio Oil helps to reduce the appearance of my sagging skin. I know I'm only 22 but I do have a little bit of sagging around my belly which was caused by losing the pregnancy bump. My skin was stretched to the limits and lost all elasticity making me look as if I had 90 year old granny stomach. The Bio Oil has helped to make my skin look less wrinkled and gave it more elasticity. My skin feels a lot smoother, sculptured and moisturised and it looks as if the wrinkles have somehow been ironed out. All of my wrinkles haven't disappeared, I still have a few but they are less noticeable...

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

One Oil for Everything...

Advantages: It works really well, is versatile
Disadvantages: Seems like an expensive buy..but you realise it's worth it

...At the age of 19, I am not too worried about aging skin, but like a lot of people my age I have been left with the odd stretchmark and some scars from spots. It's the spot-scars that paricularly bother me, as they are on my face and some were quite red and didnt seem to be fading. 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. I've had my bottle for 3-4 months of almost daily use now, and I'd say I've got about another month's use in there yet. Reading through some of the other Bio-Oil reviews the other day, my attention was brought to a website called Mulipharmacy...

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

Oil of Olay Provital Energising Face Wash

Advantages: One of the Best Facial Washes Ever.
Disadvantages: Quite expensive but well worth it.

...Oil of Olay's Provital product range is one of the best ranges they have ever bought out. I have recently tried their Energising Face Wash which is specifically designed for the more mature skin. The face wash has a nice cream formula which foams up really well when put on the face, and removes make up and other residues really easy, leaving no trace of makeup especially hard to get off make up like mascara and eye liner. I was very impressed with this product, after using it my skin felt really soft, some facial washes can dry out the skin, but this one works really well, must be the moisturisers that have been added. Although it says its for more mature skin I am only 26 years old, but I use it, and I think this would do quite well to keep the old wrinkles at bay....

Review of Oil of Olay Oil of Olay

Bio Oil - A good all round product

Advantages: Specialist product, easily avaliable at chemists or supermarkets, natural
Disadvantages: Expensive (but will last a long time)

...Anyone who has ever suffered some kind of skin defect like scarring or stretch marks will often understand how bad scars left over from any life experiences that cause scars like pregnancy and acne can leave someone feeling. Personally, when I was younger I did suffer from moderate acne and I have a couple of scars left over from spots I tried to pick. One thing I do like about Bio Oil is that it is natural, as I have found natural products to be much better than using the 'specialist' products like Clearasil that claim to fight spots and redness and so on, but in truth really I found that they only made my face worse. Ever since I started using natural remedies, I found that they worked much better and now I have very few breakouts, it's just the scars left I have to remove... Having seen the adverts for Bio Oil and hearing about it...

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...

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

This aint no baby oil

Advantages: really does what it says
Disadvantages: too runny, not very nice smelling

...allows the skin to breathe. You do only need a small amount and it does absorb very quickly, And it is non staining. I started to noticed the difference after a couple of applications to my face and about a week for my scar tissue to show any difference. I found that I only had to apply this every few days, compared to other products that I had to use daily to show any change in my skin. BIO OIL claims that what makes it so effective is its ingriedient PurCellin Oil, this apparently provides the perfect storage environment for vitamins and natural ingriedients, making sure that they maintain their maximum effectiveness prior to putting it on. It also makes this a light and non greasy oil to help increase the absorpition of all the vitamins and natural ingriedients making sure that they do not stay on the skin surface. Whatever...
