Cream to stop/reduce scarring - do you know it?

[MaggieW]

DS has had chickenpox and is covered in spots. I've got scars on my face from when I picked mine as a child and really don't want him to end up with marks on him. I went to Boots today to ask for a cream that will reduce scarring, as I'm sure I remember reading about a vitamin cream which will help, but the pharmacist was useless and just kept saying use calamine and piriton - even though I explained we were passed that stage. Does anyone know of such a cream please?

a capsule of vitimin e broken and applied and or alovera gel bothe have excellent healing properties (best to wait till after the itching stops

Agree with chapsmum on the vitamin e but also shea butter is good too - L'Occitane sell tubs of it (pretty expensive though)but many products now have shea butter in them (Palmers cocoa butter and many stretch mark creams have it in)

There was a thread on this last year. Have a look here for some suggestions.

the is something called bio oil that is mebt to be reall good for reducing scaring, streatch marks and overall complection of the skin ive seen it in boots
