In today’s day and age we are forever on a quest for a magical product that has an answer to all our skin problems. Issues ranging from scars, acne, uneven skin tone, ageing, dehydration and stretch marks can make any person depressed and distressed. Bio-Oil which is a specialist skin care product claims to heal inside out with its use and tackle almost all the major skin issues. Does it live up to its claim? Read along to know all about this special skin oil.
BIO-OIL
The Company claims: Bio-Oil is a specialist skin care product that is recommended to help improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone. It is also recommended for ageing and dehydrated skin.
It contains the breakthrough ingredient PurCellin Oil which reduces the thickness of the formulation. This makes Bio-Oil easily absorbed and helps ensure the targeted delivery of its key ingredients: Vitamins A and E, and the natural plant oils Calendula, Lavender, Rosemary and Chamomile.
Bio-Oil is easily absorbed and non-greasy. It is hypoallergenic and is suitable for sensitive skin. It is formulated for use on the face and body.
PACKAGING
The oil comes in a cylindrical plastic bottle with a white screw off cap. The plastic bottle is of good quality and the cap closes tightly so as to ensure there is no spillage. The instructions are mentioned on the white box in which the oil comes in. Also a detailed leaflet comes with the bottle with detailed pictorial instructions on how to use the product for different skin issues.
MY THOUGHTS ON THE PRODUCT
It is a light weight non greasy oil. The fragrance is light and pleasant. It quickly absorbs into the skin without leaving any residue. I used the oil for my stretch marks which I got during pregnancy. I have to say I saw a visible difference and improvement in my skin texture. My stretch marks became less noticeable. I also used this as an over all body moisturizer which made my skin soft and supple. One thing that improved greatly was my skin texture, I noticed it becoming more even toned and luminous.
I have yet to use it on my face, but for the body it pretty much delivered what it claimed. Ideally use the product for 3 months, twice a day on the affected area by massaging in the oil in light circular motion. Try to avoid using on broken skin as it might irritate. Always do a patch test first so as to see how the skin responds to the product.
VERDICT
I adore this oil. It is a multi purpose genie in a bottle. I have less noticeable stretch marks and that is all thanks to Bio-Oil
PRICE and AVAILIBILTY
It is available at Scentsation Dolmen Mall Clifton for Rs.1200/
I would say if anyone of you is suffering from skin issues like stretch marks, dehydrated skin, uneven skin tone etc do give Bio-Oil a try. The best part is that it comes in different sizes, so you can try with the smallest bottle 60 ml one and if it suits you, you can purchase the bigger bottle.
I hope you liked the review. If you have any further queries related to Bio-Oil, let me know I will answer all your concerns 🙂
Till next time
