Bio Oil Dry Skin Gel is a ‘gel-to-oil intensive moisturizer’s specifically formulated for dry skin

A new way to treat dry skin, Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel is comprised of 84% oil, including many of the skin-soothing emollients and humectants also found in the original Bio-Oil Skincare Oil.

Emollients like Shea butter and PurCellin Oil lock moisture into the skin and build a protective layer to trap it in, giving much-needed relief from dry skin.

Glycerin and Hyaluronic acid, for example, are water-soluble materials that work like little sponges, drawing and holding water from both the outside environment and the skin’s lower layers.
