Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel, Face and Body Moisturizer, Fast Absorbing Hydration, with Soothing Emollients and Vitamin B3, Non-Comedogenic, 1.7 Oz

love this stuff! works great all over skin.. softens, smooths... feels nice and makes skin glow. (greasy, so use a small amount)... recommend...

I bought this as a last resort of things to try for my exceptionally dry, flaky skin. I bought another well known product along with this one, and really didn’t expect anything different but the price was right so I tried it. This is the only product I have ever tried that actually works on my skin!! The other product was more expensive and did nothing to help my skin. This stuff is amazing! This product leaves my face looking fresh and dewy but not greasy at all. This will be the only product I buy from now on!

I had mixed reviews about this when I bought it, mostly because of the scent. I hate it. It’s a clean scent but it’s not sexy or appealing. And let’s be honest, if it’s not going to be sexy or appealing why even make it fragranced? I have used tons of products with “gender neutral” scents that have been able to smell amazing on both sexes, what’s the excuse for this one because this isn’t one of them. But It’s OK I guess. The real determining factor for why I keep using this is how well it moisturizes. Here are how I use it: The second I get out of the shower, I’ll use a thin layer all over my body to lock in the hydration. Then I’ll follow up with my regular body moisturizer, THEN I’ll put another layer of this on top to seal it in. One may wonder.. why don’t you use a good moisturizer? Well, my skin eats “good moisturizers” for breakfast. To be honest, when this is applied to dry skin, all it does is sit on top of the roughness. This needs to be applied WITH something that has water in it OR on top of a water based moisturizer, alone it simply just creates a barrier. But it work wonderfully. When I wake up the next day, my legs are so soft, hydrated, and repaired! They will have the slightest bit of residue but it’s not overly greasy or an oily feel, it’s wonderful. It truly locks in hydration so well. I do have several gripes, though. #1, it seriously has the worlds WORST PACKAGING. I hate everything about it!!! I hate the cheap flip lid, and I hate digging my fingers in it! Why couldn’t this be in a squeeze tube for crying out loud. It’s ridiculous. #2, Of course I gotta sound off about the price. Lord have freaking Mercy. For someone who has to use this everyday to manage their scaly skin; I hate having to ration every little bit that I use. I swear to God, the 6.7oz that are allegedly in this tub seem to disappear like there’s really only 3.4oz!!! They need to make like a 12oz or a 16oz bottle because I need pump or a tube to be able to use this without fumbling with a cheap disgusting flip top lid that could open up easily if traveled with. Bio-oil please listen: give us more quantity for less money & improve the packaging it’s stupid!!! I’d 100% recommend this to anyone for use in conjunction with a hydrating water based moisturizer. Makes you use less moisturizer and get better results. I love it. I also use sunless tanner and it doesn’t remove my tan.

As moisturizing products go, I love how well this works. It spreads easily, a little goes a long way, and the skin feel is really nice if you don’t mind a more oily application (definitely leave a little time for it to absorb before you get dressed). It’s my first gel body moisturizer, so I don’t have any direct comparisons to make, but it definitely works better and the hydration lasts longer than standard lotion products I’ve used. It doesn’t stay greasy the way coconut oil, shea butter, or cocoa butter do on my skin. I know people are hating on the packaging, but a flip-top lid is easier to wrangle than a twist-off tub. It’s also easier than a tube/bottle because I can just leave it sitting open on the counter during application and I don’t have to handle the tub with greasy hands to get more out. So, lots of positives. HOWEVER. The powdery fragrance, to me, is so awful. With all love and respect to my matriarch elders, I feel like I smell like an old lady from the 90s when I wear this (though, in fairness, the scent doesn’t really linger too long). If you like the smell of their regular skincare oil, you’ll be fine - it’s the exact same scent. I like the smell of their natural oil product SO much more, though. The oil isn’t as convenient to apply, but the moisturizing effects seem to be pretty much the same. If Bio-Oil ever comes out with a fragrance-free version of this gel, I’ll never use another body moisturizer again!

Love it and it does make a difference! Absorbs the oily finish quickly leaving skin soft and less wrinkly!

I use this sparingly on old scars. I don’t use it as often and I don’t have a lot of scarring, but I do see some differences. It’s very lightweight and it has no smell and it absorbs quickly.

As a gel girl, I’m loving this era. I’m 60 and still a skincare fanatic. What I’ve loved about this gel era is that I use them as a morning-refresh moisturizer, or a quick light mid-day moisturizer. They allow me to stay hydrated, but not as heavily moisturized as I am at night. My current OG gel moisturizer remains Belif Aqua Bomb - this Bio Oil brand gel did not knock her off the throne. Belif is $52 however for 3.37 oz pot and I rip through her because it’s such a delight to smear her on. Thought I would give this Bio Oil gel a test run because I love the brand, I love the fragrance of bio oil, I’ve used it for years - thought I would try to price beat the Belif. However this product held no magic. It's just Bio Oil in gel form. Exactly as they market it, so no disrespect at all. It’s lovely. But it doesn’t absorb like other gels - it just stays an oil on your face. So maybe nice for some of you who want to sleep in it. But it gets my very lowest mark for a unique data point I’ll call eye-drift. It slowly works its way into my eyes. No thank you. Such a pretty pink color and sweet familiar smell. Wish I loved it.
