Bio-Oil PurCellin Oil Reviews
-
Thanks but no thanks.
I used an entire bottle of this before giving up on it, but that's mostly because I didn't wanna feel like I'd wasted ten dollars. I could never get past the scent, which I found to be very reminiscent of an old lady and slightly nauseating. It did little to diminish the scars to which I applied it, and it was also a little too greasy for my liking. — 3 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 5 people said helpful

Trust me, it works!!!
Ok, I decided to buy Bio-Oil after reading reviews, mostly positive but some negative on a couple of different websites. I just had surgery on my foot and have three incision sites on the top side of it. I put faith into this product and guess what? It works beautifully! I have been applying it religiously 2-3 times a day, every day, to the sites since I had the stitches removed. It's been almost ...read moretwo weeks and I am very pleased with the results so far. I understand it takes time to heal scars and they are still pinkish, but I can tell the lines will be minimal when all is said and done. I also decided to try it on my face after reading some good feedback for evening out redness from rosacea and old acne scars. (My skin is very sensitive and tends to oiliness). My skin has never looked so beautiful! I had a couple of whiteheads initially, so that concerned me, but they abated and I've not had any more problems. I mix a couple of drops with my oil-free moisturizer in the morning and put it on under my makeup. At night I use it straight. If someone would have told me I would be using an oil-based product on my skin before this, I would have said they were nuts! It also seems to soften some minor wrinkles that I have. People who have concerns about mineral oil should not worry about this unless they have a specific allergy to it. Cosmetic grade minerol oil is safe to use, and I am proof! (Google) I also been using it on an old scar on my leg, some old laproscopic surgery scars and a spider bite scar and they are all improving! The directions say results in 3 months, but mine were so much faster... — 2 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 43 of 49 people said helpful

Didn't Erase Scars or marks
Didn't like it at all! Made my face feel greasy, yuck! Plus it made pore look larger, I finally gave up after two weeks! I think it might work better for Dry Skin types — 3 years, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful

Thumbs Down
I bought this in hopes of it reducing my new stretch marks but it didn't do a thing. However it was moisturizing, I just wouldn't recommend it for stretch marks. — 3 years, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

OUCH!
I'm sure that for many people this oil might be helpful in healing/ soothing etc. but I had a horrific and severe allergic reaction to the product. I was using it post-surgery (and well after the surgical wounds had healed) to massage into the scars. Unfortunately, my healing process went backwards rather than forwards and I ended up in the hospital after a few days of Bio-Oil left me with a painful and major allergic reaction. — 4 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 3 people said helpful

Bio-Oil
I got this product because after having my daughter, I had a bunch of stretchmarks. I started using it every day & within 3 weeks, I could start to see them fade. They never completely faded but look allot better. I'm using it now nhat I'm pregnant again & I'm happy to say that they haven't worsened & I haven't gotten any new ones! — 4 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 people said helpful

Not what I hoped
I started using Bio-oil on my face for hydration and scars. After a week my face started breaking out in painful pimples. I'm going back to my regular moisturizer. — 4 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 5 people said helpful

Wow!
I had SmartLipo done under my chin and used this to help with scarring. OMG! I have no scar! No one would ever know I had it done!!!! This stuff works! I plan to try it for other skin issues and see if it works just as well. — 4 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 7 people said helpful

Use it as a night cream
I bought bio oil just because i wanted to try it - not for any specific reason, i though it was bore a body oil, so when i read you could use it on your face i though i would give it a go - im so glad i did! I had a few acne scars, and a blotchy complection - not any more! I have been useing it every night now for about 4 weeks and ive seen a huge improvement in my skin. i still get the odd spo...read moret but that is hormonal, the scars i did have have really faded and my skin is more even toned. It is probably something to do with me spending 10 mins every night to massage it in while im watching the news, but it beats spending £40 9sorry - im scottish!) and a night cream every month! Plus - the small 60ml bottle i bought is still half full and thats with me useing it every night! — 4 years, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 7 people said helpful
