Bio-oil


I was wondering if it's worth the money. I've been using cocoa butter but have started developing little stretch marks on my outer thigh/hip area. I'm hoping to keep these little guys from going full blown. I also heard if you use it on your face after a few weeks you get a glowing completion and want to know if thats so. I have a few small blotches on my face I would love to get rid of.

Bio oil is great stuff Very good for stretchies and scars and definately worth a go at sorting out those "blotches" - i've heard it's good for uneven skin tone but haven't had any experience other than sorting out scars and stretchmarks (which it's done really well!)

I've started to get a few small ones around my belly button, which is SO unfair because my tum has just shrunk about 9 inches!! I'm hoping to God that my belly doesn't come out in loads and loads of the things after the bump has gone down... would be just typical to go through all of pregnancy thinking I've escaped them, only to have them spring up when my belly starts shrinking

It's not worked for me personally. I've been using it ever since finding out I was pregnant at least once a day and sometimes more along with cocoa butter and I've got really bad stretch marks on my boobs and tiny little ones appearing on the tops of my legs now too.

Luckily I'm not so bothered by the tops of my legs as I already had some which hav gone silvery.

I've always had a little bottle of bio oil in my cupboard, I found it cleared up little blemishes on my face. I've also been using it on my bump since the beginning of my pregnancy.. I have a few stretch marks, but for the size of my bump I reckon if it weren't for the bio oil, I'd have alot more..

Ive been using bio-oil since I found out...it has improved my skin texture a lot but I still got a lot of stretchmarks on my thighs,legs and hips. I even got stretchmarks behind my knees!!!I dont know why I'm getting stretchmarks there as it's my tummy that is growing and not my legs. At the end of the day you cannot fight GENETICS. No oil can cure that one.
