Bio-oil user testimonials on Scars

"...I'm 42 and have had acne scars from my teenage years all my life. I have been using your product Bio-Oil, and am delighted to report that I can confidently go without wearing heavy foundation for the first time in as long as I can remember. How fantastic!"

"...I've never written to a company before, either in praise or complaint of a product, but feel compelled to do so in this case. Some time back, my father had a car accident in which his forehead was cut quite badly. It healed well, but left a scar that was really noticeable. A friend of mine recommended Bio-Oil and the results were outstanding. Before long, the scar seemed to smooth and blend into the skin - and now it's so much less noticeable. I was so impressed that I tried it on the brown patches on my face and after only two months, the marks not only appear to have improved significantly but my skin has never looked or felt better. Thanks for a product that does what it promises!"

"...Earlier this year, I went for a medical check-up and was advised to have a few small moles removed. They had been there forever, but as a keen cyclist I spend hours in the sun and opted to rather be safe than sorry. I never imagined that this minor procedure would leave me with dreadful marks on my back, chest and worst of all, on my face. Needless to say, I was distraught. My friends were shocked by the marks and one of them urged me to start applying Bio-Oil daily. I was absolutely amazed when the appearance started to improve and now, one cannot really even tell where the moles were. What's even more remarkable is that after using Bio-Oil for a while, I noticed that the brown patches on my face had also improved in appearance."

"...When I was fifteen (I am now forty), I was in an accident which left me with an ugly burn scar on my leg. For years I felt terribly self-conscious about the dry and flaky appearance of the scar and always tried to hide it under long skirts and trousers. You can therefore imagine how happy I was to discover Bio-Oil! I have been using it for three months now and the results have been outstanding. Already the scar is much less noticeable and the dryness has disappeared altogether. Unbelievable! I only wish I had heard about Bio-Oil sooner. "

"...Bio-Oil is, quite simply, amazing! I heard one of my colleagues talking about it a while ago and out of curiosity, decided to try it on an old scar on my knee, from a roller-blading accident five years ago. The scar had never improved, despite applying all sorts of creams and oils to it. Well, you cannot imagine the difference -I didn't think this was possible! Thank you for this unbelievable product"

"...I felt I had to write to tell you what a wonderful product Bio-Oil is! I half-heartedly tried it thinking it would be the same as most products on the market, but was amazed when it actually did what you claimed it would! I have a seven-year-old hysterectomy scar and after using Bio-Oil, its appearance has greatly improved - so much so that I can now wear a bikini when on holiday! I also use Bio-Oil on my face and my fine lines are less noticeable, and my skin tone has greatly improved. Thank you for a brilliant product which I intend to keep on using!"

Bio-oil user testimonials on Stretch marks

"...Last year I experienced drastic weight loss due to a personal trauma and was left with very ugly stretch marks all over my stomach and thighs. I felt so unattractive and was too embarrassed to even wear shorts or a swimming costume in public. This really affected my life, since my husband and kids love spending the weekends outdoors. I tried so many products (even the most expensive), but nothing really helped. Then, about 3 months ago, one of my colleagues came to work raving about Bio-Oil (she had used it on an operation scar). I decided to give it a try on my stretch marks and have been absolutely astounded by the phenomenal results! Not only has the appearance of the marks really improved, but my skin is smoother and healthier than it's ever been!"

"...After endless procrastination, I finally committed to doing something constructive about the extra 10kgs I'd been carrying around with me since my teenage years. I consulted a dietician and started exercising and before long, I started seeing results. I felt incredibly motivated until I noticed horrible stretch marks on my hips and under my breasts. Luckily a close friend recommended that I start using Bio-Oil immediately (she had used it throughout her pregnancy to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks). I have now reached my goal weight without a single noticeable stretch mark and have Bio-Oil to thank for keeping my skin protected - just in time for summer!"

"...I am quite a sceptical person at heart, but like many women have searched endlessly for a "quick fix" solution to the horrendous problem of stretch marks. I found out about Bio-Oil via a magazine advert, and to be honest, still expected to be greatly disappointed. But I decided to give it a go, and was very impressed… even though the marks have not "disappeared", the appearance of the marks has improved as a whole. In addition, the few frown lines I do have, have improved also. Not bad for a product that I haven't been using for that long and is a whole lot cheaper than your "traditional" beauty & anti-ageing creams. Keep up the good work!"

Bio-oil user testimonials on uneven skin tone

"...A friend recommended that I try Bio-Oil when I started developing darker patches on my forehead and cheeks. My skin now looks much more even-toned and my face feels and looks smoother too. In fact, all my friends and family tell me I'm looking years younger."

"...When I was a teenager I developed the most awful brown patches on my face. They made me feel terribly self-conscious and over time I became more and more despondent because nothing that I tried seemed to make a difference. Even make-up didn't help - it only seemed to make them more noticeable. Then, years later, I heard about Bio-Oil from my new neighbour and I can't believe the difference. My skin really appears to have improved - the marks are a lot less noticeable - and my skin is glowing! I am 32 and I feel like a new person!"

"...Bio-Oil is fantastic! My skin has never felt as soft and smooth. I have tried so many different skin care products and to tell the honest truth, nothing beats Bio-Oil. The brown markings on my forehead look so much better - I don't even really think about them anymore! I would recommend this super product to anyone who needs special care for their skin."

Bio-oil user testimonials on ageing skin

"...As I reached my late 20's, my skin started to get noticeably drier with more fine lines. I'd heard great things about Bio-Oil, so decided to try it. I'm extremely pleased with the results. Less fine lines, much smoother skin, more even skin tone, and texture like a baby's. People are always commenting on how young my skin looks, and I was asked for ID at a pub last week for the first time in years. There's no better testimonial than that!"

"...I am absolutely thrilled with the results I have experienced from Bio-Oil. I am 60 years old, but I now look considerably younger! All the fine lines, crow's feet and wrinkles around my mouth are so much less noticeable! The results are simply phenomenal - it has worked like a charm for me. How I wish I had known about it earlier!"

"...I wonder how many people out there are aware of the beneficial long-term use of Bio-Oil? I am 52 years old but people who meet me for the first time don't believe my age because I have few lines and wrinkles. My skin is still soft and supple. This is all thanks to Bio-Oil. I have been using it for many years on both my face and hands and in winter on my feet as well."

"...After using my usual skincare product for many years I seceded to change to Bio-Oil. What a good move! I have now been using it for a few months and my skin feels completely different. It had become quite dry and flaky and my age (53) had really started to show, particularly around my mouth area. My skin looks “tighter” and feels pampered and enriched. The wrinkles around my mouth, from years of smoking, are softer and not nearly as deep. Full marks for your product."

Bio-oil user testimonials on Dehydrated skin

"...As a result of a recent illness, I lost a tremendous amount of weight and was left with a very wrinkly neck and dehydrated facial skin (I am 44). It was terrible, I suddenly looked ten years older! After trying many different creams, someone told me about Bio-Oil and literally within a few weeks of starting to use it, my skin looked so much better. The results have been nothing short of amazing - I will continue to use this unique product on all my problem areas. "

"...I've suffered from severely dehydrated skin for the last 13 years and tried most treatments, but with no success. My friend told me to try Bio-Oil and before long my skin had improved dramatically. I now just use a few drops of Bio-Oil in the bath every night to maintain the good work."

"...For most of my life I have suffered terribly from dry, flaky skin, which used to get much worse in winter. I tried so many creams but with no success. Then my sister bought me a bottle of Bio-Oil and it was amazing...my skin improved really quickly! Now I use it all the time to give my skin an extra boost."

Bio-oil user testimonials on Daily skincare

"...I have recently started using Bio-Oil and am delighted with the product. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and looking less “dry” without feeling greasy. At the age of 67 and being an outdoor person all my life, my skin has suffered and I feel that it needs the extra conditioning and nourishment that Bio-Oil seems to provide."

"...I have been using Bio-Oil for the past 8 years and my skin really looks wonderfully healthy and firm. People often ask me what my secret is, and I am surprised that more people don't know about this product and its marvellous effects on one's skin. I use it mostly as a moisturiser on my face and neck, as well as on my hands. I never want to be without Bio-Oil. It serves so many purposes, all with success."

"...Thank you for your fabulous Bio-Oil! I am a mature woman and do a lot of cycling in our harsh weather, particularly on weekends when we often do considerable mileage in the heat and wind. If it wasn't for Bio-Oil I shudder to think of what my skin would look like by now! Instead, my skin feels smooth, supple and well nourished. I use it before and after cycling as well as every-day in the bath. A friend introduced me to Bio-Oil a number of years ago and I bless her for doing so."

"...I am 35 and stumbled across Bio-Oil in a health food store. I thought, 'Heck I have tried everything else for my acne prone, dried and prematurely aging skin' (yes, growing up in the sun). I have been using it for about 2 months and can't believe how good my skin looks and feels. Even other people have commented. I will be using Bio-Oil as my skincare always and have recommended it to many others. I am so impressed, having spent so much on products that never live up to their claims for so many years. Yay Bio-Oil!!!"

Bio-oil user testimonials on pregnancy

"...I just wanted to drop a few lines to highly commend your product Bio-Oil. I am seven and a half months pregnant with my first baby and have been using Bio-Oil since my mum told me about it five months ago. I am delighted to report that I have no stretch marks. I also developed some unattractive blotches on my face during the pregnancy. I tried everything imaginable before, once again, Bio-Oil came to my rescue and I am extremely pleased that after such a short time the marks look visibly better. Even my family were amazed. I cannot praise your product enough and have recommended it to all my friends (especially the ones who are pregnant)."

"...I used Bio-Oil throughout my pregnancy and it was fantastic - I didn't get a single new stretch mark! Even my old stretch marks from when I was a teenager look so much better, thanks to Bio-Oil. Now I'm also using it on my caesarean scar and I'm really impressed!"

"...I am writing to say what a great product “Bio-Oil” is, it's fantastic! I used it during my pregnancy to help prevent the appearance of stretch marks. I started using it on my growing belly from 5-6 months once a day and only started to use it twice a day during my last 6 weeks of pregnancy. (I was amazed at how a little goes a long way!) I am 5ft 3in and size 10 and gave birth to a 9lb baby daughter (1st baby). I am so glad to say I have no visible signs of stretch marks at all, not a single one. I couldn't believe it. I have noticed other mums with them and I'm so convinced that it was Bio-Oil that worked for me. I am now using it to help with the appearance of my caesarean scar . I will certainly recommend Bio-Oil to friends and will definitely use it in future pregnancies."

"...I was advised to use Bio-Oil during my second pregnancy to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks. I had only used my regular body lotion during my previous pregnancy - and had the marks to show for it. What an amazing product - my baby girl was born a month ago and my skin looks better than ever before. Not only did I manage to avoid getting new stretch marks, but the appearance of my existing stretch marks look so much better! I am equally impressed with the amazing effect which it's had on the brown patches on my face. They really worsened during my pregnancy - but now they are barely noticeable. Full marks for your outstanding product!"

"...After my second baby I had ugly stretch marks on both my legs (slightly above knees). What a place! It really broke me down. Thanks to Bio-Oil their appearance has improved and they are not as noticeable to the eye. Now, when friends of mine tell me they are pregnant, I tell them that the first item on the shopping list is a bottle of Bio-Oil for stretch marks."

"...Everyone I spoke to insisted that I use Bio-Oil during my pregnancy to help reduce the possibility of getting stretch marks, and it worked like a charm. I now also use Bio-Oil as my daily moisturiser and just love how it makes my skin feel - smooth and, amazingly, not at all greasy."

So what is it that makes Bio-oil so differen and so effective?

Bio-Oil contains a combination of Vitamin A and Vitamin E, Calendula, Lavender and Rosemary oils, and Chamomile extract. The proven benefits of these key ingredients, for numerous skin conditions, are well-known and have been widely researched and documented. However, these ingredients are not specific to Bio-Oil.

What differentiates Bio-Oil is its breakthrough ingredient, PurCellin Oil™ which effectively provides an advanced delivery system for the above ingredients.

It is interesting to note that the water birds, which inspired the development of PurCellin Oil™, have been repaid the favour... PurCellin Oil™ forms the basis for the method recommended by the National Wildlife Health Foundation for the rapid restoration of oil-soiled water birds.

Bio-Oil's exceptional results are attributable to the following unique qualities of PurCellin Oil™:

1.	PurCellin Oil™ provides the optimum storage environment for vitamins and natural herbal ingredients, ensuring they maintain their maximum efficacy prior to application.

2.	PurCellin Oil™ creates a thin, non-greasy, protective layer over the skin which helps prevent skin dryness and guards against moisture loss, whilst still allowing the skin to breathe and maintain its normal physiology.

3.	PurCellin Oil™ reduces the viscosity of Bio-Oil making it light and non-greasy. This ensures that the vitamins and natural herbal ingredients are fully absorbed by the skin and do not simply remain on the skin surface.

In October 1993 the Institute of Experimental Dermatology in Germany undertook a study to ascertain whether PurCellin Oil™ could cause skin irritation. 31 women and 19 men were tested, of which 16 had either allergy-prone or sensitive skin. Undiluted PurCellin Oil™ was placed on each subject's skin for a time span of 48-72 hours. None of the subjects recorded any form of skin irritation. The PurCellin Oil™ breakthrough provided the long-awaited solution to a problem facing oil-based skincare in general. Throughout history, oils have always been one of the most effective agents for the treatment and care of the skin, since they provide an extremely stable storage environment for vitamins and other key ingredients. However, due to their occlusive nature and thick consistency, oils have generally been unable to provide adequate skin penetration, with the result that most of the oil and its active ingredients is not delivered to where it is needed. For years scientists searched for the solution to this problem. In the 1950's, numerous research projects were commissioned in an attempt to develop an oil with similar properties to the human skin's natural oil. In the end it was the study of the duck's preening habits that provided the clue! 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 associates with ducks. This preen gland 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. Clearly an oil with interesting properties - an oil that protects the feathers from damage, maintains their sheen and suppleness and yet is neither sticky nor greasy! Upon studying the composition of the preen gland oil, skincare scientists discovered that it was possible to develop a laboratory copy of this unique “dry” oil for use on human skin. And, after a number of years of research and testing, the breakthrough was finally made - PurCellin Oil™ was introduced as a scientific recreation of preen gland oil.
