Bio Oil

Right, I got to get me some of this stuff.

Has anyone tried it, what do you think about it?

I have used this i think it may have helped slightly to even out some marks that i had. This stuff is quite oily. I do think though that Coco butter probably would have probably given me same sort of results.

Don't think it would.

Did the bio-oil get rid of any keloids?

Bio oil has been a life saver for me! Its great, not just for stretch marks, but for overal everyday use. I use it as my moisturiser(combined with NN's lotion) and i don't find it as oily, even in summer.

I think to get any visable results, it's best to use it at least twice a day.

good luck

Does bio oil get rid of scares? It's hives season for me so I need to be prepared. I hate spring.

Same actually, used to use coco butter but use natural oil instead now, don't think its bio oil but it works well, good for my scalp, would normally be tough to get to with an afro.

Going to see about getting some Bio-Oil, should go for keyloid therapy perhaps.

It does work for scars as well, but as i said, you have to use it at least twice a day, preferably after washing. For me, the results have been visible because i use it as a whole body moisturiser twice a day.

Also, it would depend on the type and sizes of your scars.....good luck

PS: nice to see you again.

Black Lion Coco butter i doubt would be any good for keloid scars. It is worth you giving Bio Oil a go but i would recommend that you maybe see your doctor as well if you have not maybe they could give you something that could be more effective.

Coco butter and bio oil i would recommend for more general scars and dark spots.
There was also a consumer test done and Coco butters stretch mark cream was voted as being the most effective strecth mark cream it was voted above Bio oil.

Am actually annoyed with the service I get from doctors around here, have been shrugged off twice already. Get a, ''not on the NHS you don't'' kind of air from them, idiots think its free, damn well pay for it in tax am more than obliged to use it when I need to.

Have an impact wound thats left a dent in the bone, thing is a keyloid has grown over it so it sits in the indent and irritates it, can't get rid of it as the surgery would leave another keyloid next to it.
