Suggestions for scar reduction

I am wondering if anyone has recommendations for a product that is supposed to minimize scarring. Also how soon after did you start using it. I am 10 days post op and would like to start working on reducing scarring as soon as I can.

      3 weeks out. 2 of my incisions are nearly non existent. For the other three I'm using Bio-oil twice a day, vitamin E oil twice a day and shea butter after I shower. Mederma did nothing for my Achille

    My doc has a compounding pharmacy send us both a scar pain cream that dries and protects the incisions and then a reduction cream. So far one of my incisions is completely healed with no scar and two more well on their way. Then i have two more that are still scabby. I am 18 days post surgery. See if your doc has anything like that. Mine were covered under insurance

    Hello, do you remember the name of the cream you were given? How do your incision scars look now?
