When searching for Scar Treatment products, check the ingredients lists for Silicone/Dimethicone. This is the only ingredient documented to be effective on scars via scientific studies published in reputable medical journals. Other ingredients may be good for the skin, but when added to Scar Treatment products, they can actually decrease effectiveness.
I have used ScarFade following the removal of a basal cell carcinoma in the middle of my forehead. My two inch scar has dramatically improved over this 3 month post-operative period and is barely visible. ScarFade is a wonderful product.
