Bio-Oil

Bio-Oil is a cosmetic skincare oil formulated to help improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone, and to hydrate the skin. Results vary from person to person and it is generally used consistently over several weeks or months. If you have a specific skin concern, speak to your pharmacist or GP for tailored advice.

Bio-Oil can be used on the face to help with dehydration and uneven skin tone, and many people apply it as part of an evening routine. If you have acne-prone or very sensitive skin, patch test first and stop use if any irritation occurs. Always read the label and follow the instructions provided.

Bio-Oil is a specialist skincare oil that combines plant oils and vitamins in a distinctive formulation designed to condition the skin. It is most commonly used on scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone and dehydrated or ageing skin. It is a cosmetic product rather than a medicine.

Bio-Oil is widely used to help improve the appearance of both old and new scars and is designed to be massaged into the area twice a day. It is intended for use on healed, intact skin, not on broken skin or open wounds. For concerns about a significant or recent scar, speak to your pharmacist or GP.

In this collection the original Bio-Oil Skincare Oil is available in 60ml, 125ml and 200ml bottles. The 60ml is ideal for travel or trying it out, while the 200ml offers better value for regular, full-body use.

Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel is designed for very dry skin on the body, helping to lock in moisture and relieve the look and feel of dryness. It comes in 100ml and 200ml sizes and is a good option if you find an oil alone is not enough. Always read the label and follow the instructions provided.

Bio-Oil is generally massaged into the skin in a circular motion until fully absorbed, typically twice a day. Consistent use over several weeks is usually suggested for concerns such as scars and stretch marks. Follow the usage directions on the label for the specific product you are using.

Bio-Oil is a popular choice for helping with the appearance of stretch marks during and after pregnancy, and it is applied to intact skin. As a general precaution, introduce any new product gradually and speak to your midwife, GP or pharmacist if you have any concerns. Always read the label first.

For occasional use, a small area or travel, the 60ml oil is convenient, while the 125ml suits everyday use. The 200ml oil, Bio-Oil Natural 200ml and 200ml Dry Skin Gel are better for regular, full-body application, and because a little goes a long way the larger bottles tend to last well.

Formulations can change over time, so for the most accurate information on vegan or cruelty-free status please check the current product packaging. Bio-Oil Natural is made with a high proportion of naturally derived ingredients if that is a priority for you.
