BIO-OIL
BIO-OIL is a globally recognized skincare brand specialized in oil-based formulas, especially for scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, dry and dehydrated skin. In 1987, Bio-Oil pioneered the use of oil to improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks, at a time when most skincare products were creams or lotions.
Today, BIO-OIL is one of the best-known brands for targeted body care, especially during pregnancy, after changes in body weight, and for skin that needs additional elasticity, care and hydration.

BIO-OIL products are intended for people looking for care for skin prone to stretch marks, scars, dryness, tightness and uneven tone. They are most often used on the abdomen, breasts, hips, thighs, upper arms and other areas where the skin stretches or where marks are visible.

BIO-OIL skincare oil for scars and stretch marks
BIO-OIL skincare oil is designed as specialized care to improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone. The formula is light, easy to spread and intended for regular massage using circular movements. For stretch marks, it is most often used on the abdomen, hips, thighs, breasts and upper arms, while for scars it should be applied only to fully healed skin.
Regular use of oil-based skincare products can contribute to better skin elasticity, softness and a well-cared-for appearance. Persistence is important, because products for stretch marks and scars are usually used over a longer period, with daily application according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
BIO-OIL for dry skin
In addition to skincare oils for scars and stretch marks, the BIO-OIL range also includes BIO-OIL for dry skin 100 ml. This product is intended for skin that is dry, tight, rough to the touch or prone to flaking. Its oil-based gel texture helps form a protective layer on the skin and supports a longer-lasting feeling of hydration.
How to choose a BIO-OIL product?
For targeted care of smaller areas or trial use, BIO-OIL 25 ml is a practical choice. For regular scar and stretch mark care, 60 ml or 125 ml packs are most often selected, while larger packs are more suitable for long-term use on larger body areas. For very dry skin, especially on the body, BIO-OIL gel for dry skin may be chosen.
Pharmacist’s advice
BIO-OIL products should be applied to clean and dry skin with gentle circular massage. They should not be applied to open wounds, fresh injuries or unhealed scars. Regular and long-term use is important when caring for stretch marks and scars, as visible changes in skin texture should not be expected immediately. During pregnancy, use the product according to the manufacturer’s instructions and avoid any areas where your doctor has advised special caution.
