[HONEST REVIEW]

Packaging

For the packaging, it looks super simple to me. The bottle have same shape except for the sizes, and also same designs as well. The liquid is orange-colored which looks super fresh (Bright colors like this one's my fav).

Bio-Oil have various sizes, to meet our needs. From small to large sizes, all the bottles and designs are almost the same. It only differ in bottle size. Now, they provide their newest size, the travel size which contains 25ml of Bio Oil liquid. As for daily use, since the beginning I usually use the 60ml size (I put it on my desk at bedroom, so it's the best size for me). Then, Female Daily in accordance of Bio Oil Blog Competition sent me this newest size 25ml, which perfectly meet my traveling needs! *happykid* 

Since this isn't my first impression, I'll tell you what I feel when using this product. As you can see above, the texture is runny and super oily. But then, after I rub it onto my skin, it absorbs onto my skin right away. No oily or sticky feeling on my skin, but also it's hydrating my skin really well. Here's the picture of before-after (3 days only and you can see the difference). 

[before]

[after]

Before using Bio-Oil, my skin looks rough and ugly :( but then after three days of using night and day, it looks a lot moisturized and my scar began to fade. (I'm such a clumsy person who always injure myself even without realizing it huhu) that's why I love this product and always have this at home. One thing I can't understand, it looks like working rapidly on my skin on the first until third month of usage, but after that it looks like slowing down on repairing skin effect. After asking this problem to my doctor, he said that actually it's not slowing down, but my skin is a lot better so I'm feeling like that. Inside, the skin and Bio-Oil never stop working and still doing the same miracle as it is before. 

Another info, you can also use this on your face as primer or moisturizer. I'm curious about this since I usually use this only onto my body and scar, should I try it on my face for meantime and create another review?

So here's the final review:
