Scar Creams/gels

Does anyone have any suggestions about the use of scar creams and gels? Any suggestions on what works the best? I know that the scarring is minimal anyways, but it doesn't hurt to try and help it be even less noticeable.

Thanks!!

I used Scar Zone on mine. And over time as well, they've faded to white lines.

So would you recommend scar zone? I have a coupon for it. Or do you think that time is what healed it mostly? Money is really tight right now, my A/C went right after I had the surgery so that's another $3700 and I was self pay on top of it. I was wondering if anyone had any luck with Mederma or cocoa butter...

i always used vitimime e oil works and one bottle last along time

Vitamin E oil is great too! I don't know if it really helped; I felt I was doing something. I heard Mederma works as well, so use what you have!

I asked the doctor during preop and they recommended vitamin e oil.
