How long before I see a difference in scars or stretch marks?

The directions call for twice-daily use for a minimum of three months. Stretch marks and older scars can take longer than newer marks, so consistency matters more than quantity per application.

Can I use it on a fresh wound or healing scar?

No — it must not be applied to open wounds or broken skin. It is safe on a scar only once the surface of the skin has fully healed.

Why readers pick it

Designed for use all over the body, Bio-Oil helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars whilst moisturizing and increasing skin elasticity.
Helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars — great for use post-pregnancy, after weight loss, or after muscle gain.
Contains a PurCellin Oil and Vitamin A and E complex for skin texture and hydration, making it a non-greasy body moisturizing oil.
Helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars, leaving skin feeling smoother and firmer.
Apply twice daily on the face or body and massage in a circular motion until fully absorbed.

Scars and stretch marks are the hardest skin concerns to treat at home, and Bio-Oil is the product that built the category. Its PurCellin Oil base keeps a vitamin-rich formula light enough to absorb twice daily without the greasy film of a body butter.

Why it made the list

It earned its place because it targets skin texture and elasticity rather than just sealing moisture on top — the calendula, lavender, chamomile, and rosemary oils work alongside vitamins A and E, and the non-greasy finish means people actually keep using it twice a day.

It is also one of the few specialist oils with a clear, practical direction set: massage in circular motions until absorbed, morning and evening, for a minimum of three months, with a firm safety line against use on broken skin.

Best suited for

Stretch marks from pregnancy, weight loss, or muscle gain
Older scars on fully healed skin, on the face or body
Dry skin that wants moisture and elasticity support in one non-greasy oil
