Bio-Oil announces new 4.2 oz. size

NEW YORK Bio-Oil, a skin care product that is made with PurCellin Oil to help diminish the appearance of scars and stretch marks, is now available in a larger 4.2-ounce size.

“Our experience in international markets shows users prefer a larger product size to treat not only the improvement of scar, stretch mark and uneven skin tone appearance, but also aging and dehydrated skin on the entire body,” stated Claire Gutschow, Bio-Oil sales and marketing director. “Based on this, and the phenomenal sales success of the 2-ounce size in the United States, the new 4.2-ounce bottle was a no-brainer.”

Bio-Oil hit the retail shelves just over a year ago and, according to the company, has become the No. 2 selling skin care product in U.S. drug stores, and the fourth largest skin care launch over the past year.

Its key ingredient, PurCellin Oil, acts as the delivery system for vitamins A and E, calendula, lavender and rosemary oils, and chamomile extract. Bio-Oil retails for $19.99 (4.2 ounces) and $11.99 (2 ounces).
