We've been asked to find 50 Mumsnetters who would like to try Bio-Oil on their skin and then to add feedback to a thread on Mumsnet. The product could also be used on children (aged over 2 years)
"Built into a daily skin care routine, Bio-Oil can be applied all over the body, including the face. Specialist skincare for scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, dehydrated skin and dry skin For best results Bio-Oil should be applied twice daily for a minimum of 3 months"
This product test is designed to run alongside the company's new campaign called 'Skin Stories'. This "celebrates how every scar and stretch mark tells a story, whether it's the birth of a child or following a c- section - centred around Facebook, the campaign aims to encourage women to celebrate their skin's individuality by uploading their own Skin Stories as inspiration to other women, to empower them to think and feel more positively about their own skin. For every story shared, Bio-Oil will donate £1 to the British Skin Foundation to help fund research into skin health". If you have already used Bio-Oil and would like to share your story please do so by following the link above.
If you'd like to try Bio-Oil and your are selected you'll be sent a 60ml bottle of Bio-Oil, worth £8.99. In return, we'd like you to add your feedback on Mumsnet twice - once after a week or so with your first impressions and once after 4 to 6 weeks worth of use. Feedback will concentrate on appearance of your stretch marks or scar. Please note this is in no way a clinical trial and we are simply after 'real' feedback on the oil and any changes in the condition of skin noted by those using it.
In addition, Bio-Oil are also looking for 3 Mumsnetters to make a short film about their skin - examining their skin problems, showing changes and asking other people if they have noticed a difference. If you are happy to make a film please tick the box on the form. Please note the videos will be hosted on YouTube, shown possibly on Mumsnet, on the Bio-Oil Facebook page and possibly on the Bio-Oil website. We will compile the three films into one montage and names will not be used. You will be given instructions on how to make the film and what to record. If you are selected to make the video then you will receive a £30 Boots voucher by way of thanks.
So if you feel like Bio-Oil could benefit you and you'd like to try it please sign up here.
Any questions please ask.
Thanks
