REVIEW : Bio-Oil

RATING –NULL (DISAPPOINTED so far!)

I have been using the Bio-Oil for a month now, 31 days to be precise. So, i thought today is the right time to write a review, even though as per the instructions, we need to use this for at least 3 months. Before i get into the review, let me tell you i have lot of stretch marks on my upper arms, side of my breasts as well as on both sides of my thighs and buttocks. So, obviously i started using this anti-stretch mark oil to get rid of these stretch marks or at least improve the appearance of them. Also i had too much of back-acne a year back, so those scars are still there on my upper arms and shoulder. So, i thought Bio-Oil might be helpful to reduce those scars.

Ingredients : Paraffinum Liquidum, Isopropyl Myristate, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Chamomile oil, Lavender oil, Calendula oil, Rosemary oil, Bisabolol etc.

What Bio-Oil claims about the Bio-Oil Skincare oil? : Bio-Oil is a specialist skincare product formulated to help improve the appearance of scars, stretch mark and uneven skin tone. Its unique formulation, which contains the breakthrough ingredient PurCellin Oil, is also highly effective for ageing and dehydrated skin.

Bio-Oil skincare oil comes in a plastic bottle which is pinkish peach in color with a white cap. And the outer carton is made up of paper. The oil got a very sweet light fragrance, and its light-weight, if you massage well, 90% of the oil will absorb in the skin. However i had a few breakouts after applying this, so don’t know how long i will be able to use this. Also i use the oil once a day after bath, only on the affected areas. So if you use twice a day, one bottle will last a month i guess. It contains 60 ml of the product and costs INR Rs 450.

Sadly, i did not see any improvement so far. The stretch marks are there as it is also the scars are as it is, did not lighten or fade so far! Since its instructed that one should use the Bio-Oil at least for 3 months, i might buy another bottle and continue usage. But i don’t think this is going to be that effective as it claims to be. Once you have the stretch-marks, its difficult to get rid of those. Same goes for scars.


So, i might post another review next month if i happen to continue using this. Frankly, till now am not happy with this Bio-Oil skincare Oil, but lets give it another try.

Biotique Avocado Body Massage Oil Bio Cado Review

RATING :- 3 OUT OF 10

I got the Biotique Avocado Body Massage Oil Bio Cado long back for my mother. She wanted something great to make her feel good and which could relieve her from the all day long strenuous work. It contains 210 ml of oil and costs INR Rs 135. The packaging is simple. Plastic white transparent bottle with a green cap.

Ingredients : Rai Tail, Badam Tail, Neem Oil, Til Oil, Arandi Tail, Ankurit Gehun Satva, Dudhal Mool Kewath, Vegetable oil.

What Biotique claims about the Biotique Avocado Body Massage Oil Bio Cado ? : A unique blend of Ayurvedic oils that relaxes the muscles and leaves the skin soft, smooth and supple. Contains natural oils of Avocado, Almond, Olive, Sesame, Sunflower alongwith Galangal and Dandelion extract.

How to use? : Apply appropriate amount and massage using a circular motion.

Biotique Avocado Body Massage Oil Bio Cado is okay just for massaging purpose. I dont think it acts as a stress buster or anything of that sort. Just like anyother oil it makes the skin soft instantly, but there is nothing special in that. Will never work on oily skin, as the oil is too sticky and greasy and can pick up any dirt if you get in contact with anything dirty. So i think, one needs to take a shower immediately after applying this body massage oil. And ewww it smells gross! Overall an okayish body massage oil, within budget if you got no issues with smell or stickiness. Also the fact that the oil is 100% herbal as claimed by the company might be a reason for you to try this. But no, i wont repurchase this in my life.
