Review: Bio Oil
Awhile ago, I started to really get annoyed by the stretch marks and scars all over my body and after whining about it for some time, I decided to get off my ass and do something about it.

Not gunna bore you with all the little details but basically, I keep getting all these scars and marks on my legs (not entirely sure how I get them) and have stretch marks on my thighs, butt and breasts (once again, not entirely sure where/when I got them but maybe from my major, inadvertent, weight loss a couple of years back). Skin problems, galore ! W00ts !

Thus, step in... Bio Oil !


Marketed as a 'multi use' product that you can apply to your body and face and even use as a bath oil, it is said to contain Vitamins E and A, as well as a blend of calendula, lavender, rosemary and chamomile oils.

Formulated with PureCellin Oil that is suppose to improve the penetrating power of the oil, it promises to rectify all sorts of skin related problems like scars, uneven skin tone, stretch marks and dehydrated skin etc.

Sounds wonderful, doesn't it ?
So, does this oil that is presented as a near medical treatment for skin related concerns live up to it's hype ?

Yeeaaaaah... no.

It did close to nothing for my scars and stretch marks.
The marks on my legs did seem to fade the tiniest bit but I'm sure I could get the same results with any other product.

My stretch marks are still there with no visible improvements. Cept, wait... whats all that other stuff around my boobies ?
... PIMPLES.

Yes. Bio Oil, being comedogenic, made me BREAKOUT. Thanks. So, now, instead of having just stretch marks on my breasts, I also have pimples.
Or maybe that was their plan; apply Bio Oil that will clog your pores and give you breastne so people will be too distracted by all the lil red dots all over your chest to notice your stretch marks. Hey, Bio oil does eradicate stretch mark problems ! Psht.

And taking a closer look at the ingredients, Bio Oil's main ingredient is none other then Mineral Oil (think Baby Oil) which can be found in practically every other body moisturizer out there at a fraction of the price. As are most of their other ingredients. 

Plus, I have no idea what PurCellin Oil is but I don't think that it's anything special as it is still greasy, even greasier then some other moisturizers I've tried and I don't think it helps with absorption much as it takes forever to rub in and there is always quite a bit of residue.

So yeah...
Really wished that I had found an amazing product that actually delivers and am able to share it with all of you but I can't.

Bio Oil is basically just scented Baby Oil pretending to be specialist skincare treatment when in reality it is just another run of the mill product, over hyped and over priced.

Sorry, folks !
Money better spent elsewhere.
Fuck you Bio Oil.
