NOW CLOSED More testers needed for Kelo-cote silicone gel for c-section scars. £200 John Lewis vouchers to be won!

[KatieBMumsnet]

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,

Do stretch mark scars count? Theyre raised and itchy!

I've got a scar from an operation that is troublesome but not a c section does that count?

I'll do it if you'll have me

My scar us a year old now though.. Is that ok?

I have a troublesome scar but it's 5 years old! I would have done it too.

My DD has facial scars that sometimes go red - let me know if this gel would work.

I'm up for that: cs scar is 6 months old

I've got a not-a-c-section scar that I'd be willing to try it on. May I sign up too?

Mine's 4 months old- I'll try it?

Knew I should have gone for the C-Section :P

Have filled in my form! My scar is 'just' over 3 years old... by like a month - I would love to try this!

I have a year old hysterectomy scar. Still red and itchy. Any good to you.

I've applied but my most recent c-section scar is only 4 weeks old, is that ok (I've also got a 3yr old/ 6yr old and 8yr old scar if those are any good to you)?

2 and a half yrs section scar, itch but numb when scratching.

I have an itchy two year old scar.
I'll sign up later today.

I have an itchy c section scar which I had three years ago tomorrow :-)

Mines a week old, so still healing

My (16 month old) scar is red.. its not itchy or sore though.

I'm not sure what they're meant to look like tbh! Should they not be red? Goes to google

My scar is 3 months old, I'd be keen to give it a try but the link says the survey is now closed. Please let me know if you need more participants, thanks

I had my second c section in nov 2012, can i still participate? The link does not seem to work.

Hi GoulashSoup and KitnAryan the sign up form is now closed unfortunately, but if we need any more testers I'll let you know.
