Using the specially formulated Bio-Oil for stretch marks removal is an opportunity to make use of a skincare product that has been developed to help improve the appearance of stretch marks, as well as scars and unevenness of the skin.
The advanced formulation was developed after years of research by Dieter Beier, a German cosmetic scientist living in South Africa who created Bio-Oil by combining some breakthrough ingredients that make it among the most effective solutions. This unique formulation is suitable not only for stretch marks but also for other skin conditions, including skin dehydration and aging or sagging skin.
Product Features
Bio-Oil for stretch marks is a natural product for skin care that has countless benefits. It has been coined as miracle oil that helps removing stretch marks and other skin imperfections that come with ages. For those suffering from unsightly stretch marks, the most important feature of Bio-Oil is that it helps reduce the appearance of these completely while also eliminating a range of other skin imperfections and scarring. The key ingredient in this formulation is the patented Pur-Cellin ingredient, which is believed to be the key active ingredient in the Bio-Oil.
Stretch marks appear on the skin when it is stretched to its extreme limits and loses elasticity, such as during pregnancy, rapid weight gain or loss, puberty and when bulking up by lifting weights and so on. These things can lead to tearing and damage to collagen and elastin fibers which provide skin with support and structure. The natural ingredients contained in Bio-Oil help prevent stretch marks by boosting the production of collagen, thereby enabling the skin to regain its elasticity and improve its flexibility.
The basic function of Bio-Oil is to remove these scars by healing broken skin and enhancing the production of skin proteins. This, in turn, would help in reducing the stretch marks.
