Bio Oil is a skin care product and topical skin treatment that has been scientifically formulated to address the problem of stretch mark formation. It has been established to treat individuals with dry skin through improving deep moisturizing into the skin. It as well treats certain skin problems such as scars, pigmentation, age spots as well as skin tone problems.

Bio Oil is one of the more established products which was originally made in during the 1950′s in Sweden. Since then, the product became famous and was distributed worldwide. The manufacturers claim that after one to two months of regular application, the desired results will be obtained. Plus, skin with redness and age spots will disappear after one to two weeks of regular use. But prior to regular application done every twice a day, you must do a patch test first to check if you are allergic to the components of Bio Oil.

Bio Oil contains a unique type of ingredient referred to as the purcellin oil. Other ingredients found in the product that helps in moisturizing the skin are vitamin E and A, rosemary oil, calendula oil, chamomile and lavender.

PurCellin Oil allows the other ingredients in this product to be absorbed deeply into the skin reaching the dermal or middle skin layer wherein stretch marks are formed. This leads to a maximum absorption of the ingredients thus hydrating the skin and keeping it from being dry. Though considered oil, PurCellin Oil is a non greasy solution. Because of such component, Bio Oil tends to stand out among other stretch marks and skin blemish products.

However, based from the experience of other people from the use of Bio oil, a number of them have reported that they have suffered skin irritation as well as redness. Although the manufacturer claims that this happens in rare cases, this product therefore isn’t the solution of choice for those who have sensitive skins. It as well cause itchiness at times and may not be absorbed well in the skin. The product as well promises too much to their consumers when pertaining to the skin treatments it may provide to individuals with skin problem.

Although Bio oil is indeed one of the cheapest stretch mark creams and has great effects on the skin, its efficiency in addressing the main problem of stretch mark reduction is still debatable. While it may be efficient in preventing such skin problem, it may not be the product of choice for people who want to reduce or total remove the appearance of stretch marks.
