October i wrote my last review on bio oil and had not seen any effects. today i stand to be corrected my bottle emptied and thought i would give it one last chance and by another smaller one so that i would not waist so much money again. it was not a waist, finally the stretch marks just above my ankle started to fade. they look a lot better now and i am no longer afraid to get back into my shorts. for those of you who are trying it out for a first time. my skin was in a really bad state, when i bought my second tub of bio oil my friend suggested that i use sugar and honey scrub on my legs to remove the dead skin, and also add bio oil to my bath water. i have been doing the scrub and bio oil bath once a week and i think that is the reason for the new found results. so stick too it and try get to using it earlier.
