NOW CLOSED Do you have a c-section scar less than a year old or an older but still troublesome one? Try the new Kelo-cote silicone gel, £200 JL voucher to be won
We're looking for 250 Mumsnetters to try out the new Kelo-cote silicone gel for c-section scars. Here's what they say: "Kelo-cote gel self-dries to a waterproof membrane that acts like an extra layer of skin. It's the only silicone gel clinically proven to soften, flatten and smooth the scar while maintaining the moisture balance and elasticity of the adjacent skin."
We're looking for Mumsnetters who have a either c-section scar that is less than 1 year old or a c-section scar that is less than 3 years old and is still troublesome (i.e red, itchy, raised, sore etc), to try this product over the course of three months. You'll be required to add diary style feedback on how your finding the gel during this time. Each tester will be sent a 15g tube of the silicone gel (RRP £29.99). For full ingredients list please see here.
Feedback will concentrate on what the gel feels like, what it's like to apply as well as your overall views of the gel - and any improvements noted to the appearance and feel of the scar. Please note this is in no way a scientific trial - Kelo-cote are just after testers general views and experiences and anecdotal feedback.
Additionally, we may also ask you to complete a (very) short survey at the end of the three month trial - this will focus on whether you'd be happy to recommend the gel to others and overall ratings.
Kelo-cote would also like some testers to take pictures of their scars at the beginning of trail and once a month thereafter (this is not compulsory though!). All testers who supply four pictures at the end of the trail will also receive a £10 John Lewis voucher and a tube of the new stretch mark cream each (RRP £14.99). If you're happy to take pictures, please tick the relevant box in the sign up form. Please note the pictures may be used on marketing material and the Kelo-cote website as before and after pictures. They will be completely anonymous and all recognisable parts will be removed.
Everyone who adds their feedback to the thread on Mumsnet as required will be entered into a prize draw where one winner will receive a £200 John Lewis voucher.
Hello, I believe the products were sent out on Friday so should be arriving in the next couple of days. I'll check and email everyone with an update soon.
Hi. I've just received a tube but I didn't get an email so I don't know what to do with the feedback. Do I need to take photos? And is this the feedback thread or will there be a new one like normal?
Hi I'll be sending everyone a link to the feedback thread first week in January, for now you just need to use the gel daily as per the instructions in the information leaflet that you should have also received.
AmandinePoulain you should have received an email from me last week, I'll resend it to you today.
My first impression is that I can't get into the thing! Dh bit the top off in the end, surely there is a proper technique though? There aren't instructions, am I meant to have pierced it with something?
And YY to the opening issue. Although partly as extreme tiredness has rendered me utterly doolally - I was trying to cut off the end and then realised I'd put the outer cap back on and was actually sawing through that
Like the product though - only 3 days in but I'm encouraged thus far...
Thanks.
