Is Bio-Oil working?

Question

Have anyone use Bio-Oil here to prevent from stretch mark? Does it work and when do u usually apply it? 😊 Im still in my first trimester and Im trying to reduce stretch mark in the future.

Answer

Nothing can prevent stretch marks. They are genetic. You either get them or you don't. Saying that, any good moisturising oil/lotion will reduce the severity of the marking and make healing faster if you continue post partum.

Answer

I used it all the way through my first pregnancy and had bad stretch marks! This time I've been using 99% aloe gel most days and at 18 weeks I've so far not got anything and I'm huge!

Answer

I just used Burt Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter and didn’t get any with my first. I’m using it this pregnancy; not as religiously and haven’t gotten any so far. I do think they are genetic though.

Answer

Wife really likes it. It also really helped with the itching I noticed.

Answer

With my first pregnancy I started to use it but didn't like how it felt on my body so I started using coco butter. Like many are saying your genes will play a factor in stretch marks. I gained a few pounds and was always hydrated (a gallon a day) but I ended up getting stretch marks the last few weeks.

Answer

I used it everyday during my pregnancy, by the last month I really blew up and my stretch marks came in.

Answer

I’m 39 weeks and used it every day since the first trimester and didn’t get stretch marks. But I agree with the other commenters - I don’t think it’s really the bio oil per se you will either get them or you won’t. It doesn’t hurt to use it tho - might as well!

Answer

This stuff doesn’t work. People that didn’t get stretch marks are just not prone to them. It’s luck of the draw. And most women get them. They really aren’t a big deal. It’ll be the last think on your mind after you have a baby. And after a year they’ll be flesh colored anyway.

Answer

i used it every day from the time i was 6 weeks pregnant until i popped him out and i still got stretch marks at 37 weeks

Answer

Stretch marks are a genetic thing! But keeping your skin moisturized will make you feel more comfortable when everything it stretching out and less itchy feeling!!
