i have read that bio oil is supposed to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. i have been out and bought a little bottle of it for £9. i have nearly finished it in 2 weeks, just by applying it twice a day. does anyone know the rules to it...

can you apply too much?
does anyone recommend it? hav you have good results?
how long does it take for them to fade?
if you stop using it do they just reappear again within seconds?
are there any good techniques to using it? massagin it in or jus leavin it to dry in?

please help as the marks are really beginning to depress me now, i have totally lost all self confidence in myself because of them!

i have just read on a few posts abouts scars and things about people trying toothpaste on scars etc does anyone know if this would have any effect of stretch marks, i know i have put toothpaste on spots in the past and that has helped them clear up!
