Bio – Oil Review

I had been watching commercials of this Bio-Oil on T.V. for quite some time  and though being a doctor myself , I am aware that stretch marks that are gained post-weight gain or post-pregnancy do not go away with any treatment , yet I wanted to try this to see its effect on my general skin as it has got some rave reviews everywhere .
                                       

It claims to improve the appearance of scars, uneven skin tone, stretch marks and even dehydrated skin .I have a few stretch marks and a some acne marks and also dry skin , so I thought of trying this one out and test the veracity of these claims .

Price – Rs 380/- for 60 ml 




                                                   

Presentation – It comes in a pinkish sturdy plastic bottle with a plastic cap.Since it is small and sturdy ,it is very travel friendly and spill proof too .There is a hole on the top for dispensing the oil .

                                                       PROS of BIO OIL 

1. Easily available everywhere 
2. Has a nice and delicate floral smell which does not linger for long though despite this being an oil .
3. It has a very thin and runny consistency because of which it spreads and gets absorbed into the skin very easily .
4. It has a very nice moisturising effect on  the skin immediately upon application , in fact I just loved Bio-Oil for this and have been using it as a body lotion daily after bath because of how supple it makes my skin .So definitely tackles dry skin very well 
5. Non greasy feel 
6.  I found that this helped in the fading of  my acne marks too within a week of application .
7. It contains retinyl palmitate , an anti-ageing and skin plumping ingredient .
8. Did not cause any new acne on my body .
