Bio Oil & It’s 20 Uses You Never Knew About

Hey you all !

Lately, I have been switching over a number of skincare products according to the changing demands of my skin. A cult favourite skincare product for many of us, Bio Oil has been my top and most used skincare products that I just fell in love with recently. Having used it consistently since the past few months, I realized it was one of those products I would like to have in my skincare closet always. We generally associate this oil with stretch marks and pregnancy, but chances are that there are a lot more benefits of having this one oil in your skincare closet which could help you get your dream skin.

About the Brand : BIO OIL

Launched in 2002, Bio Oil has received approximately 191 Internationally acclaimed awards till now in the skincare category.

This multipurpose oil is a potent mixture of miraculous vitamins and skin improving properties which not only does wonders on the stretch marks but also improves the texture of the skin by keeping it hydrated, helps in lightening acne marks, fights depigmentation and smoothens out any unevenness in the skintone.

However there are a few cons of this product too. So stay with me to know more about this product and let us delve into the details of this wonder oil :

My Experience with Bio Oil :

Bio Oil is a light weight textured Vitamin E based oil which helps in the dissolution of stretch marks, pigmentation related issues or any scars on the skin. I have been using this oil for the past few months and I have noticed my stretch marks fade away along with a prominent scar that I had on my right knee since a long time. Also, there is a boost in the hydration level of my skin.

This oil absorbs effectively into the skin and is non sticky and light weight unlike many other vitamin E based oils in the market. Even lighter oils like Johnsons Baby oil takes time to absorb into the skin as compared to this one. It has a mild pleasant fragrance and the oil is light orange in colour.

Packaging : The oil comes in a transparent bottle with a nozzle which can control the quantity of the product. Even if you’re not careful enough, you would not end up splurging out too much oil as the nozzle controls the quantity effectively.

Price : Available in 3 different sizes and quantities, the 60ml bottle ranges for Rs 395, 125 ml for Rs 645 and 200ml bottle for Rs 950. The image shown above shows 2 variants of a 60ml bottle and 200ml bottle of Bio Oil.
