You may have seen a thread around site recently with 250 MNers trying out the new Kelo-cote silicone gel for c-section scars (here). They're in their second month of testing now and we're now looking for some more Mumsnetters to try the product.
Here's what Kelo-cote 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.
Everyone who adds all three sets of feedback to the thread on Mumsnet will be entered into a prize draw where one winner will receive a £200 John Lewis voucher.
If you'd like to take part, please sign up here. If you've signed up to this recently via our panel, please do not sign up again - we have your details and will be in touch next week with more information
Thanks and good luck,
