New product on the market that can be bought at any local pharmacy... called bio-oil.
Has its own website.. www.bio-oil.com, and there has been a huge amount of write ups in the montreal gazette, and good responses from people already on the product. It was such a hot commodity after the write ups.. every store sold out within 2 days of stocking it.
I started using it on my belly and sides due getting strech marks that I gained from being fat. I just heard of the product about a week ago and it doesnt seem to be to bad. Put in on in the morning after I shower.. and once at night before bed.
Product costs about 10$ per small bottle, which ive been using alot and looks to last about 2 weeks depending on how much you use. You supposed to use the product for 6 months to help heal/make marks look better.. or as a PRE mark helper. If your really worried.. test it out on the areas your "about" to get marks in and try it for yourself.
Enjoy.. overall for 20$ a month.. ill take the test and see if it helps
Not trying to diss you, sorry if I seem that way, but this product is an example of clever marketing - thats it.
In fact, it would be less effective than many other products.
First ingredient listed, which by law means the highest percentage, is paraffinum liquidum which is a fancy way to say cheap ass baby oil - which is a by product of the distillation process of petroleum to produce - no joke - gasoline. Most studies suggest that anything mineral based is incapable of any form of cellular pentration due to molecular structure. I highly do *not* recommend any mineral based products for anything. In my industry they are known to be cheap, nasty and ineffective. Should I get them free, they see the bottom of my trash very quickly
As far as cream based [although alot of prevention lies with genetics, slowing speed of skin size change, interior hydration and good fat intake] almost anything non-mineral based is okay, as it can penetrate. Anything with 'butter' is better - shea, cocoa, mango etc - with shea being considered far superior in the skin care industry. Pure shea is the best thing I would recommend - which is kind of gross tbh, but is a great item. I use it religiously.
Be sure to apply twice a day within minutes of getting out of the shower.
