Psst! Bio-Oil contains retinol, which accelerates skin turnover but can make you more sensitive to the sun — so don’t forget your sunscreen!
My colleague Ciera Velarde can vouch for this stuff:
“I’ve been using this on a scar on my chest for the past few weeks (trying to make it less noticeable before my wedding in September!), and it’s slowly but surely fading away. I apply it at night, but reviewers recommend apply it in the morning as well for best effectiveness, so I’ll start doing that too. It smells really nice and it doesn’t feel as oily on your skin as you might think.”
Promising review: “Bio-Oil is the BEST skin product on the market. I use it as a twice a day — morning and before I go to bed. Small lines have disappeared. My skin is very smooth and seems to glow. A doctor recommended this to one of my friends who told me about it. I have bought several bottles as gifts. Be patient. It will take a few months for you to see notice the changes. I am 71 years old. No one paid me to write this.” —Amazon Customer
