Bio-Oil was // 25 Health benefits of lemons:

[Guest guest]

Not sure how well BioOil works - I had a patient with horrendous scars on

her arm and we used to apply BioOil daily and it reduced the ridges of the

scars and they flattened out well under pressure dressings - to put any oil

on acne seems counter indicated to me as i always associate acne with oily

skin. - I have a bottle in front of me but the ingredients are not

indicated on the bottle - I think it has calendula in it - it certainly

smells very nice - here is it AU$20 for 125ml - google has a heap of info on

it - mostly advertising though:

 

INGREDIENTS:

 

Vitamin A: Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate on the label) helps improve the skin's

elasticity, texture and tone.

 

Vitamin E: The most widely used antioxidant in skincare products today,

Vitamin E increases the moisture content of the epidermis, thereby making

the skin softer, smoother and more supple. Vitamin E also assists in the

proliferation and maintenance of healthy skin.

 

Calendula oil: Calendula Officinalis, more commonly referred to as marigold,

has been used for centuries as a natural antioxidant and has the ability to

clarify and condition the skin, while providing soothing and calming

benefits for sensitive skin types.

 

Lavender oil: Lavender oil is widely known to have skin conditioning

properties, and is also effective in calming and soothing the skin.

 

Rosemary oil: Rosemary oil helps to invigorate and condition the skin, in

addition to having calming and soothing properties.

 

Chamomile oil: Chamomile has a calming and soothing effect and is

particularly beneficial for sensitive skin. It also helps to condition and

clarify the skin and assists in maintaining its natural health.

 

PurCellin Oil: PurCellin Oil acts as a delivery system for Bio-Oil's other

ingredients, dramatically improving the application and spreadability of the

product, and allowing for targeted absorption into the skin.

Paraffinum Liquidum, Triisononanoin, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Isopropyl

Myristate, Retinyl Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Anthemis Nobilis Flower

Bio-oil is very good for healing scarring. It is quite dear for a

bottle £8 in the UK (about US $16?) but it lasts for ages and does

work. I used it for my ceasarean scar and also odd pigment marks on

my face.

It contains natural oils but am not sure if the other ingredients are.

Maybe someone could enlighten us?

I was suggesting that the bio-oil be used for the old acne scarring,

but I suppose it would be difficult to apply if there were new acne

spots that were going to be covered in oil too. It certainly helped

my caesarean scarring which was worse than was expected as it got

infected during recovery.

 

It seems to have a good testimonial rate too though how much is

marketing I don't know. It has been tested on a couple of tv shows

here too and did very well on tests. That, and the fact it worked for

me is the only reason I suggested it. I'm not in the habit of

recommending products!

 

Thanks for the info Jane , I wonder if anyone else knows about all the

other ingredients, whether they are natural or chemical?

Or if there is a website where you can look up ingredients such as these?
