34 Problem-Solving Products For A More Comfortable Life

Psst! Bio-Oil contains retinol, which accelerates skin turnover but can make you more sensitive to the sun — so don’t forget your sunscreen!

My BF Shopping colleague Emma Lord has tried this and tells us: “FWIW re: scars, though, this stuff really works. I had thyroid surgery a few years ago and Bio-Oil took me from looking like I’d stumbled out of the Red Wedding to virtually no detectable scar within a few months. All I did was apply it once in the morning and once at night.”

Promising reviews: “If you have very dry scaly skin, this stuff works! In the winter time, I have a very dry alligator skin and this stuff really helps to make my skin feel soft and moisturized. It stops the flaking and itching and it really heals my skin. If you want your skin to feel better, when it’s irritated or dried out, try this, it works! Use it right before you get out of the shower when you’re still wet, put a little bit on your body and then just pat yourself dry you’ll be amazed at how soft your skin will feel. No more dry skin.” —Sally maniscalco
