Is bio oil effective for prevention of stretch marks in pregnant women?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Bio Oil is an excellent skin moisturizer but it nor any other topical application can prevent stretch marks. A stretch mark is a tear in the dermal layer of the skin caused by the rapid stretching of the skin associated with rapid growth or rapid weight changes.
