Bio Oil Review



Bio Oil is the one product I was hoping was as good as the rave reviews I had already heard about.



I was sent two samples to try, one for me and my aging skin concerns and one for Granny who has recently undergone surgery to her face that has obviously left a scar.

Its so good the nurse who removed the stitches when asked to recommend a product, said if you want the best it would be  Bio Oil. It is a pure oil that I was not worried about applying to her face. The great thing was that skin just soaks it up,its not greasy and doesn't sit around on the surface. Happy to say that after just 10 days off using the scar is really fine,fainter than I expected and I am convinced its the Bio Oil.

I have been applying to my hands and they really are loving the benefits, it softens and makes my skin look younger. 

I have used as a make up remover,it works really well,but I feel its a bit of a waste as what it does as a moisturiser is fabulous.My face looks brighter,less tired and feels really good,not tight.I like to add it at night to give my skin a good feed.



LOOK AFTER YOUR SKIN AT EVERY STAGE OF LIFE
Bio-Oil, the multi-tasking skin saviour!

Skin is the body’s largest organ, covering a surface area of up to 2 metres and varying in thickness[i] across the body. Bio-Oil helps care for our skin through each stage of life, from the hormonal changes that affect our skin as teenagers through to wrinkles and sagging skin as we age and everything in between!

Since its launch Bio-Oil has become a household name, trusted by millions of people across the world. Helping with a broad range of skin conditions, Bio-Oil is not just about pregnancy related stretch marks and scars, but has been clinically proven to effectively treat other skincare concerns[ii], including:

ü  Dehydrated Skin: Helps replenish the skin’s natural oils, stripped away by factors such as extreme weather, water with high chemical content, frequent bathing and the drying effects of central heating and air-conditioning
ü  Weight Related Stretch Marks:  Helps prevent formation of stretch marks during periods of rapid weight gain or loss and helps to improve the appearance of existing stretch marks
ü  Uneven Skin Tone: Helps improve appearance of uneven skin tone caused by hormonal fluctuations, skin lighteners or excessive sun exposure
ü  Ageing Skin: Helps smooth and tone ageing, sagging and wrinkled skin on both the face and body, including skin over exposed to UV light. Plus ideal for age spots and softening cuticles
ü  Daily Moisturiser: Helps moisturise the skin and can be used in conjunction with other skincare products as part of your everyday skincare routine. Built into a daily skin care routine, Bio-Oil can be applied all over the body, including the face, on its own or underneath a daily moisturizer, or as a night treatment. Great for dry patches such as dry elbowsheels and anywhere else that needs some TLC
ü  Scars:  Improves appearance of new and old scars whether from surgery, accidents, burns, insect bites, scratches and chickenpox
The Bio-Oil’s unique formulation combines some of the most important skincare ingredients, these include vitamin A and E with Calendula, Lavender, Rosemary and Chamomile oils. Plus unique to Bio-Oil, the ingredient PurCellin Oil™, to ensure they are easily-absorbed deep into the second layer of the skin where they can provide targeted treatment.  PurCellin Oil™ dramatically lowers the viscosity (stickiness and density) of the formulation to create a “dry” oil which is non-greasy.

Alongside the ingredient, PurCellin Oil™, Bio-Oil’s Key ingredients include:
  • Vitamin A – helps improve the skin’s elasticity, texture and tone
  • Vitamin E – The most widely used antioxidant in skincare products today, Vitamin E increases the moisture content of the epidermis, thereby making the skin softer, smoother and more supple. Vitamin E also assists in the maintenance of healthy-looking skin
  • Calendula Oil – Calendula Officinalis, more commonly referred to as marigold, has been used for centuries as a natural antioxidant and has the ability to clarify and stimulates the growth of new skin cells
  • Lavender Oil – Lavender oil is widely known for calming and soothing benefits
  • Rosemary Oil – Rosemary oil helps to invigorate and it has a mild antiseptic capabilities and thus eases congestion, puffiness and swelling of the skin
