Bio-oil is it worth it?

[NoTeaForMe]

Hi,

I'm 36+5 and have gained a few stretchmarks, thankfully not many but I was so happy to have got this far without them and now they have suddenly appeared! Boo!

I keep hearing how amazing bio-oil is for stopping them and then reducing their appearance if you do get them. This sounds too good to be true, though 99% of reviews do seem to say it!

I have found it here it seems a good deal but have never heard of the company, anyone used them or can recommend somewhere else?

Thanks

My mum tells me it's my own fault for getting stretchmarks because I didn't use bio-oil!

I did however use a similar oil and don't think bio-oil would've done much more in the way of stretchmark prevention. Of course there are people who use it and don't get them, but chances they wouldn't have anyway (though similarly you could say my mum's right and I've only got them because I didn't touch the stuff).

I believe it's genetic/what your skin's predisposed to do, and what your weight gain has been like in the past. My SiL was also crowing about her none-stretchmarkyness, but her weight has really varied a lot in the past.
