Your questions about Bio-Oil Body Oil
When a formula gets this level of stardom, there’s a lot of questions that we need to get answers to. Keep reading to see all your doubts disappear!
What are the main benefits of using Bio-Oil Body Oil?
More than the lovely experience of applying an enveloping lightweight texture on the skin, Bio-Oil helps to improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone as well as reducing aging signs. At the same time, it helps the skin to retain moisture and does wonders for those with dehydrated skin.
Can Bio-Oil really reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks?
Yes, Bio-Oil visibly reduces the appearance of scars and stretch marks! With continued use and regular application,—minimum of 3 months, twice a day—you’ll be able to notice significant improvements on the skin. It not only acts on existing stretch marks, but also improves skin elasticity, contributing to reducing new stretch marks from forming. With clinical trials proving its efficacy, Bio-Oil Body Oil is an essential body care formula to use during pregnancy or during teenage growth spurts as well as in periods of fast weight gain or loss.
What is the difference between Bio-Oil Original and Bio-Oil Natural?
The Bio-Oil Natural is the formula for all of those who would love to have the results of Bio-Oil Body Oil with all natural ingredients. Promising the same benefits as the original formula, with this one you can also expect to see an improvement on your stretch marks and scars, while delivering a comfortable, nourishing action to your skin.
What ingredients make Bio-Oil effective?
As the brand puts it, it’s all about a “specialist oil mixture with vitamins and plant extracts”, that is further enhanced with PurCellin Oil™. But what ingredients are we talking about? Bio-Oil makes a point of detailing them clearly: vitamin A is responsible for improving skin elasticity, texture, and tone, while calendula and chamomile extracts deliver comfort while soothing and repairing damaged and sensitive skin. At the same time, PurCellin Oil™ works to make the formula lightweight and non-greasy, contributing to a lovely application experience as well as to improve absorption.
Is Bio-Oil suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin?
Yes, Bio-Oil is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin and even for the face. And it’s not just words: the brand has conducted a test to determine if Bio-Oil is compatible with sensitive skin. In a trial with 25 participants (all with sensitive skin), “no subjects experienced any adverse reactions to the test product”.
