Bio oil. Does it work?

[boogiewoogie]

It's probably too late for me. I've got the worst stretchmarks ever!

It does reduce them but never gets rid , i used it for a month or so and noticed they got paler, keep meaning to buy some more. i have realy bad stretchmarks some are over half an inch wide

i bought some today just for general use - my stretchmarks are beyond repair. it smells lovely

I totally believe that it's genetic. If your Mum/sisters got stretch marks, chance are you will too.

best thing for stretch marks/scarring is bio oil mixed with vit e oil. Not the vit e oil intended for the body as that isn't 'pure' enough. Very boring option (but it works wonders) is to buy vit e oil capsules (intended for swallowing) and pierce them with a pin and mix the 2 oils together. Recommended for my mil by homeopath for scarring after surgery and it worked better unbelievably well.

i used bio oil on my arms as i put loads of weight on when pg with dd1,and had hideous stretch marks at the tops of my arms.it did make them fade,and less noticeable,and i didnt start using it till dd1 was 5.

i have also found it works better than most face creams i have tried(for wrinkles and tired-looking skin!).

Fabulous stuff, I've used it on my face aswell.

I've used Neal's Yard Mother's massage oils in all of my pregnancies, and no stretch marks at all - and I had big babies too! Have heard things about Bio oil though - but also believe that genes play a role.

i've used it for two huge pregnancies and no stretc hmarks yet

not sure about the genetics thing, my mum has awful stretch marks and so far i've got none (36 wks with no 2)

I TRIED IT ON MY FACE BUT DIDN'T LIKE IT.
oops caps lock on!
