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.

 Smells good but, does not work on dark skin March 7, 2010
Breea (California,USA)
The product was not really the best. This product has not been tested on all skin color. I did bot see any improvement, and I have been using the product for several months. Smells good though, I guess you get what you pay for. I stopped using the product too. I'm about to try Mederma. I heard that product works and has great reviews.
 It's great but... February 28, 2010
Vanessa Poppins (Albuquerque, NM)
It is a great product. I have scars from acne and it has visbally reduced the appearance but it hasn't completely removed them (but has only been c.1 month and it advises 3 months). I use it in the morning and at night, but at night I put that "Curel" antiaging on over the "Bio oil." I find that it seems to enhance the products effectiveness (maybe because it helps to seal it in, I don't exactly know). The only thing that stinks about this product is that it leaves your face looking really oily (as if your face is grease pit), that is why I have reduced my usage of it to night only and just "Curel" in the morning.
 Nothing miraculous for the price February 19, 2010
All-access Customer (Thomason, CT)
For a pregnancy there is really no use for this the oil lasted 10 times on my big belly... and it made me itch like crazy. I used it on my existing stretch marks and there was no diffrence.... I personally like nivea oil.... or for scars 100 percent shea butter.... I know where to buy it for ten bucks a tub and wow it works!
good stuff February 6, 2010

I've only been using the product for about a month and the instructions say to allow three months of use for full effects. But I'm already seeing some improvement! Its definitely working!
 I like it January 27, 2010
Voltron (Parts unknown)
I was skeptical at first but decided to give it a try. I live in AZ desert and noticed that I have aged very fast in the short time I have been here. Anyway I started to use the product for a month, today I finally went back to work after a month of working at a different location. I had 4 different people ask my age thinking I was younger, than I really was. The only thing I did different was that I started using the product after noticing that the AZ sun was damaging my skin. I dont use it in the morning bc it can stay greasy for a while and I work in a hot environment so sweat a oil in my case will lead to break outs. I just used it at night and based on comments I have recieved from people not knowing what I have done it has been wonderful. I cant say whether the the oil made me look younger but it helped reverse the damage I had from all the sun exposure.
