Specially Formulated With PurCellin Oil
Bio-Oil includes the breakthrough ingredient PurCellin Oil, a recreation of the preen gland oil of ducks. During preening, a duck secretes oil from its preen gland and distributes it over its entire plumage in the familiar twisted-neck action that one often associates with ducks. This oil creates a thin, non-greasy layer on the surface of the feathers without which water would not pearl off and the bird would struggle to swim. This ingredient acts as a delivery system for Bio-Oil's other ingredients, improving spreadability and allowing for targeted absorption into the skin.

Also, because oil contains no oxygen, it provides an exceptional storage environment for vitamins. Bio-Oil includes many beneficial skin ingredients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin E, calendula oil, lavender oil, rosemary oil, and chamomile oil. This mix of plant oils and vitamins has been clinically shown to be beneficial to the skin.

Effective on Scars and Stretch Marks
Bio-Oil helps improve the appearance of all types of scars and is also highly effective in helping maintain elasticity of scar tissue on joints and other high-mobility areas, including stretch marks. Ideal for pregnant women, particularly in their second and third trimesters, Bio-Oil is the product most recommended by UK pharmacists to help reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and pregnancy stretch marks.

Great for Skin Tone and Dry Skin
Bio-Oil helps improve the appearance of uneven skin tone caused by excessive sun, hormonal fluctuations, or skin-lighteners. Sagging and wrinkled skin that is associated with aging also benefits from Bio-Oil. Much wrinkled and sagging skin is caused by the weakening of the collagen and elastin support system in the dermis. Bio-Oil helps soften and smooth the skin, making it more supple and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

Bio-Oil also does a wonderful job at moisturizing and has sufficient moisturizing properties so as to render an additional moisturizer unnecessary.

Non-Acnegenic and Hypo-Allergenic
Bio-Oil is a non-acnegenic and hypo-allergenic product, meaning it has a decreased tendency to cause allergies and acne, and it is safe for use on sensitive skin.

Summary: Easy On The Skin
Comment: Obviously, it's hard to review a product on promises of a product for future benefits. However, I've used Bio-Oil for two months now and have found it to be easy-on-the-skin. For me, that's a HUGE plus as I have very sensitive skin. So, for that alone - Bio-Oil gets five-stars from me!

Summary: Fine, but nothing special
Comment: This is a fairly light, not-too-greasy oil that's mildly moisturizing, but not that much more. It has a fairly pleasant, herbal scent, to my nose. And that's about all I can say. I don't believe for a minute that it can prevent or fade stretch marks (which are genetic, and which mostly fade on their own, anyway). I don't really have any scars, so I was unable to test that theory.

I've also read on some sites that some people use this to treat acne. That seems extremely counterintuitive to me -- if you have oily, acne-prone skin, the LAST thing it seems you should do is put more oil on your face. This may help with very dry skin or with wrinkles, to an extent.

Summary: This is repackaged Baby Oil=MINERAL OIL
Comment: I do not see how this could work when the first and main ingredient is Mineral Oil which has been banned for skincare use in Europe and is proven to be a skin occlusive,IT also may breakdown the fatty layer in skin over time and dry skin out more over time.
It also clogs pores and prevents absorption !

Summary: Recommend for all pregnant women
Comment: I was given this product first by a friend from England as she had had lots of success with her stretch marks. At the time I didn't use it but then I got pregnant and of course those stretch marks started to arrive. I loved the feel of the oil on my skin and found that it really helped in reducing the itching while my body was stretch into forms I knew not. I do have stretch marks but I feel the oil kept them down and also helped my skin deal with the pregnancy. I have also found that when I have a cold it was a great product to dab on my nose and stopped it from drying out. I love this product and now always have a bottle near by.
