Product Review: Bio Oil

Today's product review is on Bio-Oil.  I first heard about this from my friend,Tish who swears by it! Bio-Oil is a specialist skincare product that is supposed to help improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone. It contains PurCellin Oil™ which is supposed to also make it highly effective for numerous other skin concerns, including aging skin and dehydrated skin. 

When I purchased the product I listened to other reviews I read online and tried to use it on my face.  Although it claims to be non-oily, I thought it was too oily for my face.  Products that are too oily clog my pores and cause my skin to immediately break out but some people have no issues using it on their faces.  However, it does seem to work really well for scars. 

Two weekends ago, my cousins "devil dog" (as I call him) bit me on my leg!! Can you believe it? Here is how it looked the first day.  Luckily he didn't break much skin.

By day two or three, it bruised all around the bite and looked like this (it looked worst in person) :

At first I used cocoa butter but then decided to try the Bio-Oil on it and I'm happy to say it has been working really well.  After only a few days (less than a week) of using it, the scar is almost gone! Now Im not quite sure how much of the scar would have naturally gone away on its own and how much the Bio-Oil truly helped but check it out:

I've also heard its really great to use while pregnant! So if you are looking for a product like this, give it a try.  Also, if you go on thier website, you can get a $2 off coupon (http://www.bio-oil.com/).  I got it from CVS and the regular price was around $13.
