Let me start by saying I've been using Bio-Oil for years, but this travel-sized set was my first time trying their gel and lotion. The convenience of having all three products in mini sizes makes it perfect for testing before committing to full bottles.
The oil remains my holy grail - it absorbs surprisingly fast for an oil and leaves my stretch marks looking less angry. I massage it onto my C-section scar every night and have noticed definite fading over 3 months of consistent use. The lavender scent is subtle but calming during my bedtime routine.
The dry skin gel was a game-changer during winter! Unlike the oil, it sinks in immediately - no waiting around in a bathrobe. I keep the tiny tube in my purse for emergency hand hydration. However, like one reviewer mentioned, I wouldn't use the gel on my face as it caused minor breakouts.
Now the lotion - WOW. The 'shake before use' technology actually works! It goes on lighter than any body butter but provides serious moisture that lasts through showers. Perfect for quick morning applications when I'm rushing to work but still want hydrated legs.
A few caveats: While these products improve skin texture dramatically, don't expect miracles on deep scars or old stretch marks overnight. Also, the travel sizes disappear fast if you're using them daily on large areas (I finished the oil in 3 weeks). But as an introduction to the Bio-Oil family or for targeted treatment, this set delivers.
Final verdict? Worth every penny for pregnancy skincare or anyone dealing with dryness and scars. Just manage your expectations - it's skincare, not magic!
