Bio-Oil
6 July 2008 at 11:47 pm | In 2/5, Anti-Blemish, Bio-Oil, Body, Buy again? No, Moisturizer | 63 CommentsPrice: RM32.90 and has been at this price since “launching”. What bullshit. Pharmacies are selling it at RM32.90 during launching with Promotion and now it’s still being sold at RM32.90.
Size: 60ml
I read a review about Bio-Oil from a forum, praising this product that it had diminished the face scars from acne and I bought this even though there were discounts for other products like Palmers Scar Serum and Cocoa Butter Formula Vitamin E Scar Serum.
It claims to:
improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone. Its advanced formulation, which contains the breakthrough ingredient PurCellin Oil™, also makes it highly effective for numerous other skin concerns, including aging skin and dehydrated skin.
On new scars, Bio-Oil should be applied only once the wound has healed, and should never be used on broken skin.
The official site http://www.bio-oil.info lists the steps in how the scars, stretch marks, aging (sagging & wrinkled), wrinkled and uneven skin tone are formed. It’s more technical than other skincare websites, which is cool (and smart). The Bio-Oil box moves, following which link you are at.
Bio-Oil (like any other skincare product) should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. I store mine in the fridge. Feels great (cooling) when applied to skin.
PurCellin Oil™ is a laboratory recreation of the preen gland oil of ducks. Ducks! Unlike some companies that do not publish their ingredients online, Bio-Oil lists them out here. However, looking at the ingredients – parafin (?), I have my doubts whether this product really works. I assume the ingredients are listed based on highest to lowest percentage. *check the box* Yep.
Liquid paraffin, or mineral oil, is a mixture of heavier alkanes, and has a number of names, including nujol, adepsine oil, alboline, glymol, medicinal paraffin, saxol, or USP mineral oil. It has a density of around 0.8 g/cm3.[2] Liquid paraffin (medicinal) is used to aid bowel movement in persons suffering chronic constipation; it passes through the alimentary canal without itself being taken into the body, but it limits the amount of water removed from the stool. In the food industry, where it may be called “wax”, it can be used as a lubricant in mechanical mixing, applied to baking tins to ensure that loaves are easily released when cooked and as a coating for fruit or other items requiring a “shiny” appearance for sale.[8] It is often used in infrared spectroscopy, as it has a relatively uncomplicated IR spectrum. When the sample to be tested is made into a mull (a very thick paste), liquid paraffin is added so it can be spread on the transparent (to infrared) mounting plates to be tested.
An effective, although comedogenic (clog pores!), moisturiser in toiletries and cosmetics such as Vaseline. (mmm comedogenic – how’s that going to improve the skin appearance?)
Ho! Applying kerosene to skin to improve scar. Crazy?
Paraffinum Liquidum
Triisononanoin
Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate thickener
I see that I still have acne & bruised skin scars. There’s some improvement but not much. Bio-Oil needs to clarify – what type of scars?
+ more info on the product & how it works in the official website than most skincare products

I’ve been using Bio Oil for about a month now and I’m turning into a fan of it. I had a baby 19 months ago and now I have stretch marks on my thighs all the way around. Not big ones, but small so I don’t know how the product works on the bigger ones. They were still very visible either way. After a few weeks of using Bio Oil I noticed a difference in the color of the stretch marks. Some have faded out as far as color goes. If you move he skin just right you can still sort of see them but barely. Those were the very short ones. I’m still working on the longer ones, but I love the product. It seems to be working for me. A bit slow, I guess, but very worth it to get rid of those horrid looking things that keep me far away from bathing suits.

This is a scam! Nothing besides lazers can fix this!!!
Comment by Jason — 23 October 2008 #
dude can you email me why you think this is a scam? i was starting to get my hopes up, Does it work at all? i have deep scars! does bio oil work?
Comment by Vincent Collin — 29 October 2009 #
I figured I would try it on my face where I have some small acne scars, this stuff is very heavy and oily it made my face broke out so bad now I have to deal with pimples from the oil all over again.. Don’t waste your money if you have acne due to oily skin this will make it much worse..
Comment by Shelley — 31 October 2008 #
I have very sensitive skin and have had acne in the past year that my usual prescription lotion was struggling with. I tried bio-oil on the reccommendation of my flatmate and love it. It does not irritate my skin, or cause extra spots. I still get a few spots but nothing like before. The really dry skin on my forehead is improved and overall my skin feels smooth and moisturised with far fewer “under the skin spots-in-waiting” than before.

I found out I was pregnant with twins when I was about 6 weeks pregnant.
I used bio-oil right till the very end of my pregnancy which was to full term. I never got any stretch marks, which I was truly amazed at as I went from 62kg to 96kg. I really believe bio-oil helped to keep my skin soft and supple when my skin was expanding, After all stretch marks are from the skin splitting.
Bio-oil gets 100% thumbs up from me.

I’ve had stretch marks since I was 13 years old as a result of rapid weight gain that began when I started on my liver transplant medication.
Didn’t think anything would help at all. I’m now 19 and started using Bio-Oil a month ago (twice a day after showers) and I am already seeing results. They are way less visible which goes to show that it works….. on SIX year old stretch marks. It’s just amazing to me!
I 100% recommend Bio-Oil! 101% even :)

It WORKS! IT WORKS! IT WORKS! I have shingles and they itch, I scratch, I scar intensely. I had resigned myself to be a fat AND spotty 40+ woman – but I decided to try one more new product.
I used it and the scars faded very fast compared to what its like without. I am pretty impressed and believe me, I’m VERY hard to please. It faded the dark patched on my knees and elbows and evened out the tone of my skin so well I noticed one day I was GLOWING! Good stuff.

I developed eczema, overnight, after a shocking experience 3 1/2 years ago. My doctors tried prescription pills and ointments, while I worked my way down every list of home remedies on the Internet. I even subjected myself to tanning beds in the hope of finding some relief.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, made the slighest difference, and the eczema only got worse.
I found Bio-Oil and just as the eczema started marching across my face. The condition improved OVERNIGHT.
My scalp and the insides of my ears are healing. Thousands of dollars and lots of idiotic advice later (“Wash your hair in Listerine!”), this wonderful little product is making a difference.

I am 18 and pregnant. I began using bio-oil early (8 weeks) and I am only 4 months pregnant and I am seeing obvious stretch marks on my boobs and sides. I have only gained 9 lbs in the past 4 months. I do not understand why I used this product and will continue to look for something better to use. i believe that it is not good at preventing stretch marks only treating existing.

I am Sibongile Mtini, I’m 31 years old. I was in volved in a taxi accident 6 years back. I think it was 2004 and I had to have an operation on my right arm, which was very bad. I had windows glass on it but firstly I would like to thank Dr R. Miller from River Side Mall (Rondebosch).
I felt embarrassed to wear short sleves tops and when I was arround with my friends I felt like they are staring at it. I didn’t want to got with them to the parties because they are going to wear the nice stuff and I can not because of my scares. I saw Bio-oil on the advitisment and in the TV. Earlier in 2006 I went to the phamacy near by me. Wow! Its amazing, it worked for me and I believe it wil also work for you, just try it. My scars are much better and soft like baby’s skin.
Viva! Bio-oil

Sometimes people forget the basics about basic skin care. If you start to notice stretch marks, you should start lots drinking water. Water rehydrates your skin, thus preventing or even reducing stretch marks.
Comment by Bio Oil — 26 February 2009 #
for real ? how does that works ? :)
Comment by liza — 31 October 2009 #
I have a lot of old white scar tissue on my arm (10-15 years old) and Bio-Oil didn’t work on that at all, but after reading these comments I’m going to try it on my much more recent red scars (I get a lot of spots).
Comment by Fluffmitten — 27 February 2009 #
Come on people…IT IS A SCAM.
Heck, I’ll bet money that these “people” who are recommending it is the same person.
Hey, baby, how much did Bio Oil pay you to create this blog entry?
Comment by Happycamper — 6 March 2009 #
it works. simple as that.
Comment by Olivia — 28 June 2009 #
Bio Oil has made a name for itself, it truly works. As a person who has had bad eczema since the age of 3, I’m so happy that i’ve found something that works to moisturize while not damaging my skin.
I can’t use moisturizers, i can only use my eczema ointment which is so greasy (i can’t use the cream version it dries out my skin) and contains cortisteroids which make your skin look older, thin it out, just bad longterm effects.
Bio oil is the only thing that works for me as both eczema treatment And moisturiser. Eczema sufferers, just ask your pharmacist!

Just so you know not everybody has the need to get paid because they like something. If you haven’t used the product then you really shouldn’t voice your comment. I’ve suffered from acne my whole life using everything from proactive to acutane. And nothing has really worked. I started to use bio oil for about two weeks and it’s actually clearing up my skin plus evening my skin tone and lessening my scars on my face. For me since I’ve personally used the product I know for sure it works!
Comment by Kristen — 23 October 2009 #
just started using Bio oil today. Will keep u posted as per how it works and believe me honestly am going to be sincere about it!
Comment by ADEOLA — 7 March 2009 #
I have used this bio-oil on stretch marks as well as a couple of scars and so far so good they are lighting up. I wasn’t paid to write this and this is my first post, I like the stuff. What people fail to realize that everyone reacts to things differently something my work for one person and not another person. Just like I was told pure coco butter is good for your skin guess what it broke me out really bad but that doesn’t mean I’m going to bash coco butter it just wasn’t for me.
Comment by Lynn — 16 March 2009 #
I just started using bio-oil yesterday, and my skin is so soft. I simply love it for a moisturizer for skin that is open to see such as arms, chest, and neck. Legs in the summer. My boyfriend was touching my arms today and made a comment on how soft my skin felt. It is awesome. my chest was spotty and a little old and dryer then it should be at 30, and I already can tell it looks better. I donot know how well it will work on my stretch marks but as soft as it makes my skin I recommend this product even if just for a deep moisturizer,however, I wouldn’t put anything like it on my face. Too oily!

I have bad acne scars on my back and chest I want to try Bio-Oil to see if it will clear up.Keep you posted on how it works!!!!
Comment by Niq — 17 March 2009 #
I am an african american woman, who has been fighting acne scars with fade creams, and onion based ointments (Maderma). I went once again, to pick up more gunk, when I thought about Bio Oil. Today is Tuesday, I started Sunday, and already see results. The hardness of the older scars is going away. My husband told me my skin had a nice glow. I do not rub it in, I dab it directly on the scar, and leave it to be absorbed. It does not run, and stays in place. After only 2 days, I am impressed.
Comment by Mel — 17 March 2009 #
I have been using this product for a week on scars 1-2 yrs old. I can honestly say that it is the best product i have ever found. My scars are far less visible and my skin much healthier.
I am usually a cynic towards such things so am pleasantly suprised by how well this is working and will continue with it for the immediate future.

I have been using BioOil on my face and neck for about 2 years as my night skin care regime. Everyone tells me that I do not look my 57years. After recommending it to my 80 year old friend and my 56 year old sister in law over the phone, then after 6 months travelling to see them, I couldn’t believe the vast improvement in their skin too.
Comment by Bronwen — 25 March 2009 #
I really attracted to this product after reading all the comments. Can i ask? Is it only for strecth marks and acne? Cos i have this 7years fungus scar on my body,is it possible to fade it by using bio oil? Please tell me.. Thanks.
Comment by Maya — 2 April 2009 #
well, nobody is paying me to write this review and ive spent alot of money buying these bottles. Ive spent months applying this stuff before seeing results and doing alot of massaging probably like 30 minutes and using it with other products. This stuff works if you use it and you are disiplined!!
Comment by brandi — 2 April 2009 #
Heyah wel first of all, this product hardout works. It has given me a lighter skin tone and my scars are also dissapearing. TRY IT, IT WORKS.
Comment by Mz binkie — 7 April 2009 #
Hello, Ive only been using bio oil for 6 days now and already Ive seen a massive change on my body. My scars are going away, My stretch marks are completely gone. To all those people who think that we’re getting paid to write this, well your wrong cause Im telling the truth when i sae “It can take away your scars and stretch marks and replace it with soft, clear, gorgeous skin”..
Comment by Helen — 7 April 2009 #
I don’t even remember what made me pick up a bottle of bio-oil at the drugstore a couple of years ago BUT ~ I love this stuff. I’m 49 and have been using it on my face, just a little bit to soak in before moisturizer, twice a day for 2 years. It doesn’t make my face oily, it’s evened out skin tone a bit and I have no dry patches. My face and neck are smooth. I’ve been using it on my legs in the winter. I get so many positive comments about my skin and friends and family want to know what I’m doing. I’m happy to share. It’s made a difference and I’m addicted. I won’t be without it.
Comment by KJ — 7 April 2009 #
First and foremost….why do people alsyas think things are a scam? That is so discouraging to people that are trying to find a real way to fix what is a reall issue in their lives. With that being said, I have been using Bio Oil for about a month now and I can not be more delighted with it. I am a light skin African American woman and I have tried just about everything you can buy to get rid of dark marks on various parts of my body without much success. Since I have been using this product, I have seen a drastic improvement. I use it at least twice a day and even more than that on spots that are really bad. It works better than anything I have tried and is suppossed to be good at clearing up and evening out your skin tone. Bio Oil gets 2 thumbs up from me and no one put me up to saying this. Wow! How about that?!

Hey everyone, Im 17 and I am almost 8 months pregnant, I didnt actually know that i had strech marks until one day i looked at the back of my thighs and i was freaked. My friend told me she heard about bio oil and i went and got it the next week. ive been using it for 3 or 4 weeks and i use it on my breasts stomach sides and legs 2 times a day and on my face at night after washing it. I dont know what the people who say its a rip off are talking about! I see an amazing difference already and just bought my 2nd bottle today. It does work just be patient and consistent. Oh and it makes skin feel amazing.

Comment by Katara — 18 May 2009 #
I have been using Bio Oil for about one week. It actually does not make my face oily at all – and I have normal to oily skin. I haven’t had a single breakout because of this product. It absorbs really well and my face feels really smooth with it. I’m going to start using it on my stretch marks because I like how soft my face is feeling after a week.
Comment by dreamer — 22 May 2009 #
if pregnant no matter how much water u drink if your gonna stretch your gonna stretch all i had 2 drink when i was preg was water ive beenusing bio oil for a month now and my marks are so much lighter im a lighter skinned girl an my marks were like a dark skinned black person an since using bio oil they have lightened so much so that i can hide them w spray tan now an i still have 2 months of using it left

Comment by Elizabeth — 6 June 2009 #
Have you seen though? It goes into how bad it could be because it has mineral oil in it?
Comment by Sam — 8 June 2009 #
I have just started using this product after i have had major surgery and decided to use it also on my stretch marks that cover my whole mid section. I have already noticed drastic results on the stretch marks but it will be a will to with the scar as it is so new.
It also works really well on my son exzema and it has greatly reduced discomfort for him.
I was told that if you are a smoker or a heavy drinker this will affect the outcome of your results.Best of luck but I too can say I already love this product. Thank Bio-Oil!
Comment by Andrea — 18 June 2009 #
Great product. I’ve been using it for two months on my persistent adult acne, on which I had tried every treatment in the book to no avail, and it works. I have dry skin. It has evened out my skin tone, faded the brown spots, help with old acne scarring, it seems to lubricate the gunk out of the pores. Paraffin, mineral oil? Most creams have those ingredients.
Comment by Ana — 13 July 2009 #
I suddenly developed eczema about two years ago. Recently I had a flare-up and no doctor prescribed creams in the house. It was the weekend and I figured I would ride it out until Monday. Well it became worse, and by Sunday night I had missed my opportunity to go to the clinic. By 1:00am I had not slept a wink, The itching and discomfort had become unbearable. I didn’t know how to cope so I went to soak in the bath. When I got out I noticed the Bio Oil on the counter, I thought “Well it can’t hurt.” Almost immediately the itch went away and I was able to have a restful night. By morning my patches weren’t raised anymore, so I applied more. That was all I put on that day, and by afternoon I didn’t see a reason to go visit my doctor anymore. I’ve had about five flare-ups since then and each time I reach for the Bio Oil. Each time it doesn’t progress and dies down right away. I have not seen my doctor since.
I had never written anything on the Internet before, but I hope that my experience will be helpful to someone else. It Worked for me, maybe it will work for you.

i need help i’m about to purchase this product and i’m getting mixed reactions bout it im in a dillema can i get the real facts bout this product or anoda that works thanks!
Comment by ela — 17 July 2009 #
If you’re not getting the perceived results from Bio oil, you may need to establish if you may need to exfoliate your skin first with a gentle exfoliant. This will clear clogged pores on your face and hopefully prevent the likelihood of your having breakouts and will enable the oil be better absorbed by the skin enabling you enjoy the noted benefits.
Comment by Mimi — 17 July 2009 #
This stuff is damn good….and I’m a guy. I use it on my ears for stretching. I try to use it twice a day. It actually makes my ear lobes thicker, as well as a little more elastic for stretching because the vitamins in it get blood flowing better to my ear lobes. BIO OIL IS THE BEES KNEES!
Comment by austin — 27 July 2009 #
I’m an African-American woman and bought a bottle for stretch marks on my thighs but never used it consistantly. I planned a trip to the Caribbean and decided to humor myself try Bio-Oil twice a day to see if my stretch marks would fade. I also applied it to an area that eczema caused a dark blemish on my leg. After using the product for two weeks / twice a day I noticed the eczema area has faded and minimized in size. The strectch marks are still there but they have faded significantly. My skin is really soft. I apply a little on my face too. The blemishes have faded as well. They are still there but much lighter. I’ll continue my routine and see if these areas continue to fade. I like this product.

I am about to purchase this product to help eliminate my scars. Please let me know how effective is it and do I have to use it forever?
Comment by Lady D — 6 August 2009 #
Hi.
I know Bio oil is not a scam. I have a very bad habiat of picking at my arms (the small bumps or pimples) and this causes me to get very bad scabs and then they trun into bad scars. I have been picking for at least one year. It is a hard habiat to break but I started using Bio Oil last year in August. If i hadn’t have used bio oil my arms would be a mess. I will admit they don’t looke normal now, but thats because i keep picking. But bio oil is very effective and hopefully i can break this habiat and let the bio oil clear up my skin. It is great just give it time and make sure you rub it in good.
Comment by Lily — 14 August 2009 #
Hi everyone! Bio-oil really rocks. I did not believe in this product the beginning but now i have to admit it. I have been using it for a month now and I see a massive change. I’m using it for my stretch marks and now I’ll try on my scar which is very old and bothers me a lot.
it’s amazing really!
Comment by natalia — 19 August 2009 #
I’ve tried bio-oil and I know of people who have used it and I can say it works and doesn’t work. Truth is a product will work for a qty of people, not all unless formulated for each skin type. I am a certified aromatherapist, I own an apothecary where I create oil blends for scars and stretch marks that no matter if it is young or old scarring it works bc its specifically formulated for each and every of my clients skin. I do agree with the original author of the article. If it works it is because of an ingredient that they don’t mention but with the ingredients that they do list, they haven’t ever been proven to help improve skin appearance. Truth be told, mineral oil should never be used on the skin, let alone your face for it has a very powerful drying power which ages the skin. That’s just my two cents of advice. :) God bless.
Comment by anamaria — 23 September 2009 #
so i guess i wouldnt be purchasing it…is it ok for you to recommend another product?
Comment by Anonymous — 23 September 2009 #
ok from reading everyone comments ive finally brought a bottle of bio~oil for stretch marks (15,sep)ive been using the bio oil every since calculating 20 days and ive seen a slight change i will admit they are starting to lightn up at first they appeared as red whips now there starting to shade in with my skin tone {light brown} im a 19yrs old african american young woman who had a tremendous weight change within a year in a half i had gained unwanted weight and stretch marks but with a change in my diet with adding lots of water ,exerciseWALKING MORE THEN NORMAL OVER THE PAST YEAR,and bio oil twice a day im seeing a rapid change.
my question to you all is does bio oil make stretch marks dissappear and if so how long?
Comment by chris1234 — 6 October 2009 #
I have a dark mark on my right leg that is visible to me but not to many unless you really look, i have had it about 2-3 yrs, it was a bruise, and has scarred me, i am aware of it when i wear skirts and i am quite upset about it, a lady i know who is dark skinned told me she used bio oil on her face as she had slight scaring and it had worked for her, so off i went to the chemist today and have now put some on, will put it on twice a day for the min off 3 months and see how i go, please please work.
Comment by lesley — 14 October 2009 #
hey used bio oil before i went on hoilday 2 and a half years ago barely had any skin problems but saw a improved difference. I had a baby a year ago i gained many many stretch marks, when i mean many i mean like if you were my friend you couldnt even lie to me and say that ther not bad. Anyway started using bio oil again and theres a marked improvement all the stretch marks on my stomach have gone the strecth marks on side have faded alot you can barely see them i am so pleased i have been using it again for nearly 2 weeks. I am going to continue for the next 3 months. Remember ppl its no over night soultion stretch mark dont come over night so how could they disappear in a day. P.s this product really will not work if you dont use it religiously i mean twice a day without fail. otherwise its pointless and alot of wasted money as we all know it aint cheap. P.s again, obviously its not a glove and one size does not fit all it is not gonna work for everyone but for any black medium tone people out there it works and any light skin black people who are also curious it works as my friend has been using it to.
Comment by joanna — 15 October 2009 #
I bought Bio oil for my sister and she started using it by mixing it with her daily lotion – cocoa butter. She just called me to tell me how radiant and smooth her skin is!! everyone is asking her about her secret. well, I started using it too, and I have seen the change too. It should be mixed with some lotion – Mango Butter from Body Works etc. It has not reduced my acne scars though. But I have not given up. Still using it. I love it!
Comment by kukuwa — 20 October 2009 #
do you think it’s already shipped here philippines ? and how much do you think it would cost ?
Comment by liza — 1 November 2009 #
I just started using this oil about 6 days ago, went to walmart to get my monthly dose of Neutrogena Toner, and saw it while looking for some hydrocortisone. I have had post acne marks on my back mostly all my life, i don’t wear reavealing clothing and I always wear jeans, I have had multiple peels done to reduce post acne marks on my back, chest and face and have to honestly say that in 6 days I have noticed more than I when I had my last glycolic peel!!!! What’s happening with me is since I have SO many marks the least noticeable marks have slightly faded already so the darker marks are more apparent instead of a cluster I actually have individual spots, my skin is evening it self out… I am SOOOOO excited!
