Bio Oil May Be The Elusive Fountain Of Youth By cnt24 on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
After seeing a commercial about this wonder oil, and reading Shared Reviews about it, I decided I just had to try Bio-Oil. I bought the little bottle feeling the price tag was a little steep for the size (60 ml/2 oz). However, I have spent much more on less and if the oil lived up to what I read about it, it would be well worth the cost.
I have sun damage on my forearms from years of sunbathing without sunscreen. It is my own fault because my mother warned me to take care of my skin. Fortunately, the damage is localized to this area and not covering my entire body. I am good about using sunscreen now.
When I got home with my Bio-Oil, I immediately applied the light product to my arms. It felt so good going on. The oil is not overly oily and is absorbed almost instantly. There is no greasy residue as from, say, baby oil. This being the case I decided to try the product on my entire body and face. I figured this is "life" oil and my body deserves it.
After using the oil for a week, I began to notice my skin becoming softer to the touch. My face has a healthy glow and the one chicken pox scar I have on my chin was apparently disappearing.
My sun-damaged forearms seem to be getting better also. If you look at my images, you can see the before and after of the damage. Yes, I took pictures because I knew I would be writing this review, good or bad. The after picture is one month of using Bio-Oil.
Note that not only is the damaged area fading, my arm hair is getting lighter. There is also a freckle or two there you can see have lightened up. I am amazed at the results.
As I mentioned I am using Bio-Oil all over my body. After extended use, I can see a vast improvement in the over all texture of my skin. I only use the oil all over after a bath or shower when my pores are open and receptive. However, I like to apply the oil on my arms several times a day. I may cut back on that habit, if the damaged area goes completely away.
As for my face, I always had a great routine for keeping it up, exfoliated, and moisturized. I have added this magical oil to my routine. I love how soft my face feels, very kissable.
After using this fantastic product for such a short time and seeing the results I have seen, I really think everyone should try it.
Note: I did not rate Fragrance/Oil because this product is not only oil, it has a mild fragrance. The scent reminds me of original Dial Gold bar soap, if that makes any sense. However, it is very light and does not in any way over power you, your perfume or cologne.
Ingredients (the short list):
Vitamin A
Vitamin E
Calendula oil
Lavender oil
Rosemary oil
Chamomile oil

I like your review, please update us with another pic in the future to compare the results after a few more months, id like to see, im debating on buying this(its the price that turns me off a bit) oh what the heck, i'll buy a small bottle, jeeze lol!
I totally agree with your findings Cnt...I've used this oil for over a year now and the bottle, which is the size of yours has just recently been finished. I used this on my neck and face only though. Your review reminded me I have to go out tomorrow and grab another bottle, this time I'll buy the large I think. Great review and pics!! Thanks for the info.
Great review. I've been looking for this, but haven't found it in any local stores (yet). I'm young, but I already have two really hideous stretch marks on my right leg, and I REALLY want them to go away. Also, thanks for the coupon update...I'll definitely be using it!
