Scar creams that work

Can anyone recommend a scar cream that actually works? I have a scar on my stomach which is fairly new (about a month old) so I’d like to get in there quickly with some sort of treatment. Just creams though, I don’t want laser or anything. Thanks a lot! X

Microneedling is going to work better than any cream.

Has you thought about using a silicone tape? I had a really good result using Kelinul tape on a scar on my neck.

It’s not the content of the cream or oil, it’s the application. You need to properly massage it as long as possible (5 minutes a day, ideally twice a day) because it’s the massage that helps to break down the scar tissue. Use whatever you like that’s easier to massage and doesn’t give you a rash. I have a number of surgical scars and this was the advice from my surgeon. I use bio oil simply because I like the smell.
