Bio Oil Dry Skin Gel Intense Hydration & Relief for Very Dry & Sensitive Skin 200 ml / 6.76 oz
Gel turning to oil on contact is an odd trick and a genuinely useful one. It means you can spread a high oil content thinly and evenly, the way you would a lotion, and still get the sealing layer an oil gives you.
That is the whole design of Bio-Oil's Dry Skin Gel. It is built for skin that is very dry, tight and flaky, and it uses humectants to draw moisture in alongside emollients to keep it there. The finish is not greasy, which is the usual complaint with anything oil-heavy, so it can go on before clothes without a wait.
- Deep, long-lasting moisture for very dry skin
- Supports the skin's own moisture barrier
- Suitable for the face as well as the body
- Absorbs without leaving a greasy film
The 200 ml / 6.76 oz bottle covers the areas that need it most, elbows, shins, knees and hands, and the formula is made with sensitive skin in mind.

Application tips
Use it on damp skin, straight out of the bath while there is still water sitting on the surface, because that is what the gel holds in.
A pea-sized amount covers a forearm, since it spreads much further than a cream. Warm it between the palms and press it in rather than rubbing. It goes on last in a routine, not first.
Results
The gel turns to oil as you spread it, then sinks in rather than sitting on top, so you can dress within a minute. Tight, papery skin feels comfortable again quickly and flaky patches look smoother.
Hydration holds through the day rather than fading by mid-morning. Nothing shiny is left behind, which is why it works on the face as well as on shins and elbows.
