A writer shares their experience using Bio-Oil Skincare Oil to treat a scar left behind after having a mole removed.
In November 2023, I finally took the plunge and had a mole removed from my forehead. While I was excited to say goodbye to something I'd always been self-conscious about, I was understandably anxious about the cost of the procedure and, more importantly, the scar it would leave behind. That's when I turned to Bio-Oil's Skincare Oil, a product I'd heard countless glowing reviews about but had never personally tried. This multi-tasking skincare hero, currently reduced to £17.25 from £23.
99 on Amazon for a 200ml bottle, is designed to help with scarring, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, and signs of aging. It's formulated with a blend of skin-loving ingredients, including vitamins A and E, and natural oils such as rosemary and chamomile. These all work together to hydrate, nourish, and improve the overall texture of the skin. My mum actually recommended the Skincare Oil to me. After undergoing treatment for throat cancer, she used the oil on a scar on her neck and was amazed at how it smoothed out her skin and evened the tone in a few months. Encouraged by her results, I started slathering Bio-Oil on my face every night. Within weeks, I noticed a visible difference; the scar became less red, the texture smoothed out, and it had practically vanished by six months. Plus, its lightweight formula is gentle enough for sensitive skin, which is great because I have incredibly sensitive skin, and it didn't irritate my face. I've even started using it elsewhere, including stubborn stretch marks on my thighs, and I'm confident I'll be pleased with the results. My only slight complaint is that the oil does feel slightly greasy at first, and it wasn't that fast to absorb. Still, whether you're treating scars or simply want to give your skin some TLC, this product is a beauty cabinet essential. You can shop it via Amazon here, but be quick if you're tempted, as it won't be on sale forever. If you're looking for other options, La Roche-Posay's Cicaplast Balm B5 Multi-Purpose Repairing Balm is also a decent skin-healing product. This dermatologically-tested formula, now £8.72 at Look Fantastic, is infused with panthenol to hydrate the skin. The lightweight balm can even be used post-injury on broken skin. Boot's Scar Reduction Serum is another affordable option. Now £5.67 in the sale, this product claims to lighten scar tissue and even skin tone in as little as one month
