You know you’re a mom when you
have battle scars in your tummy. They say it’s a trademark of being one. But there are those
who battle with pregnancy without those marks.
I envy those people because it seems like they didn’t passed that stage
of pregnancy at all. Despite applying different lotions and exercising before
and after pregnancy, I still have a lot of these battle marks and not only in my tummy
but in different areas as well.
So as I researched on how
stretch mark can be removed, it is mentioned on every article I read that it
cannot be removed unless you perform a surgery. It can still be lightened
though. So in search of the most effective stretch mark remover (or lightener),
I came up in using a product called Bio Oil.
I’ve seen Bio Oil in commercials before but got no idea that it can lighten stretch mark. I only thought that it was for cleansing and moisturizing.
PACKAGING
The container of this product is
a transparent bottle that has an orange content into it. It’s in an easy
twist-cap and its content can be easily dispense. The hole on top is a little
bigger that it has the tendency to spill a lot of product at once. You have to be careful in pouring the product on the palm of your hands.
FRAGRANCE
It has a light, mild scent which I actually like. It's easy on the nose that I think even if I am delicate to smell when I was pregnant, this is the type that I can tolerate.
PRICE
If bought at the store, it retails
at P495.00. However, I didn’t paid for it that much. I got this during the
launch of the Glamourbox Babies and Beyond curated box. There’s two of this and
I already used up the first bottle when I decided to make a review on it.
TEXTURE
For me, it is between the heavy
and light feeling. The first moment I used this was for cleansing my face. It
felt a little heavy after application but after a minute or less, the heavy
feeling was eventually gone. It is different on my tummy though. The
application felt awesome because it was easily absorbed by the skin. I didn’t
felt the oiliness that much.
EFFECT
When I used the first bottle, I
thought that it didn’t do anything much on my skin. However, on my second bottle, I noticed that it
somehow lightened my stretch mark. I think you just need to continuously use
it to see some effect. My very dark marks was lightened to
3-4 shades away. I also used this for face cleansing, but not as a moisturizer.
I feel that it’s quite heavy for day time moisturizing but might consider it at night.
Yay for me! (｡◕‿ ◕｡)

I recommend this to all who wants to see improvement in their stretch marks. I might not have proofs because my supposedly "before" photos were all lost when my phone was damaged (LCD was broken and would cost me 5k!), but my marks really lightened. I will try to purchase another bottle and will try to use it exclusively on the dark marks on my body.
Much Love, Mommy ❤
