‘Liquid gold’ that banishes stretch marks and scars is on sale for $11 – fans say it’s a ‘life saver during pregnancy’

PREGNANCY can bring many changes to a woman’s body, but some mothers believe they’ve found the secret to combating stretchmarks. One product is being touted for its healing effects on the skin, and fans insist it’s a must-have for expectant moms. The Bio-Oil Skincare Body Oil usually retails for $13.59 but is currently on sale for $11.04 on Amazon. The serum contains vitamin E, which is known for promoting blood flow and healing. It also has calming and soothing properties such as lavender and chamomile. The brand promises a product that keeps the skin hydrated without clogging the pores. SMOOTH IT OVER Several shoppers gushed over the effects of the product, with one calling it a “life saver during pregnancy.” “This was one of the only things that could soothe my skin during pregnancy and I made it through with legitimately no stretch marks,” she said. “This made my skin feel so nourished and soft and helped so much with the itching. Bonus — it smells so good.” Another satisfied customer dubbed the skincare product “liquid gold.” “I have been using Bio Oil since 2016,” she said. “I wasn’t exactly sure what to use it for since years before I heard it was for pregnancy and it helped with stretch marks. “I don’t know if that works, but I thought to lighten some dark spots a couple on my face a few on my neck. “So, from that day forward I have never missed a day.” She added that the Bio Oil even works after shaving and helps with evening out the skin tone. “I always use it after shaving and never have a problem,” she said. “It took several months to notice my dark spots starting to fade, but by then I have been hooked use it everywhere on my body.” She also shared some tips for getting the most out of Bio Oil. “Give it a minute to absorb and let the oil do its job,” she said. “I can’t go a day without using it.” A third said their doctor was elated at how their scar healed following an operation on their knee. “I started using the oil two weeks after surgery twice a day. It’s been seven months now and my doctor says I have some of the best scars he has seen,” they said. “You can still tell they are there but they are a lot lighter than when starting.”
