I had a breast and arm reduction and this is the product that was recommended by my Plastic Surgeon. I have been wearing them since my incisions healed (about 6-8 weeks now). The only thing I can tell at this point is that they seem to keep the scars soft. I am having some scaring issues so frankly, I am afraid to not use them! What I wouldn't count on is them lasting 12 weeks. Fabric fuzz sticks to them very easily and then they don't want to adhere. They tell you to rinse them but it is almost impossible to get it all off without removing the silicone. However, you may not have as much trouble in the abdomen area as I do on my arms because you aren't moving that area as much. Good Luck!

I am using it for my tummy tuck scar. I had surgery back in March and it has definitely helped. It has flatten out and it has cleared in a lot of spots. I am very please and will use it until I feel comfortable. I cut it in half lengthwise as it seems to work well like that.

I used the product on a small facial scar next to my nose. Used the product on a small facial incision next to my nose. Had some bad cells removed. Healing was really remarkable for me. I have read reports from others (Amazon) that it has assisted others on older scars as well. I do know the product tends to smooth things out. While expensive, it was a good purchase. I cant attest to whether it will work for you as I'm not a medical professional and I do not know the extent of the damage as it applies to your situation. I would seek advice of a Dermatologist or your family physician.

Idk, i haven't used it on my keloid. But the best things to use on a keloid scar would be to get injections from a dermatologist, go to a rite aid or cvs buy kelo cote and the scar away bandages/repair gel

Are you looking to remove them or something to sooth them? This makes a difference, yes it works on soothing and softening skin. But not for removing any scar tissue or open cuts.I hope this was helpful.

I used it to lighten dark spots in my chick caused by acne. It works very slow until now my spots are not completely gone. Not sure if its my skin or what

It won't lighten, but it will even your skin tone. It got rid of my acne scars and dark spots.

sorry i dont think i can answer that for you cause i use it to get rid of some hyperpigment/tatoo i have. it does make your skin peel, if u purchase do dilute with water and have baking soda on hand. the baking soda will neutralize the acid. im not sure bout the scar depends on your skin type. im asian and it didnt help me with my hyperpigment at all. as for the scars im not sure.

I've been using it for help with dark spots, and it helps. I'm sorry, I don't know about the indented scars. I can only assume it would help some, but maybe dermabrasion would give better and more immediate results.

I wud not recommend this to b use in a raised scar. I beleive ur reffering to a keloid and this product in itself can aggravate the scar .

No it won't lighten freckles. It helps prevent photo damaged skin from getting worse though. Skin Ceuticals does have a product that lightens, photo damaged skin called Pyhto +

I think it's worth trying. Everyone's skin is different. It may lighten them up. For me, As soon as I found out I was pregnant I started using it. It worked for my pre stretch marks. Good luck!

In my case, it doesn't work very well on decreasing the redness of the scar. I have been using it for 4 months now. All that I can say is it works to stop the scar from spreading out, and softens it as well. However, to minimize the scar would take a rather long time (imo). The bottle would last me another 5 months, and I hope I could see some distinct results.

I have been using it for a sun spot on my chest for months and it may have lightened up a bit but nothing dramatic. The only reason I keep using it is because it was a little pricey. I did use it on my cheeks for the beginning of sun spots (I am in my 40's), I have normal skin and I broke out from it. So I went back to just using on my chest. Hope I helped.

It says it helps with scars. It probably smooths lines. Should help with scars appearance. The retinal formula would work better with scars though. I would use the vitamin c and the retinal serum both. If you buy one you will get a code which will give you a one time offer of 50% of one of their serums on Amazon. Good deal. You have to receive your serum before you get the code for 1/2 off a second bottle.

I have been using this product every evening for a little over thirty days and I would say that "yes" it has improved the fine lines on my forehead and around my eyes. It has also helped to lighten my hyperpigmentation from old blemish scars that would not go away. I'm 37 years of age with olive complexion and combination skin.

It's definitely helping me (an old small indented scar). I've been using it every night for 3 months now and the scar is slowly but surely filling in. I suggest you use msm cream along with another alpha hydroxy serum (like physician's formula), especially at night. The aha serum helps to exfoliate your skin, assisting the msm cream to penetrate deeper for it to work even better. Alternatively, you could use it right after using your Clarisonic/ home microdermabrasion system which pretty much does the same thing as an aha. The key is to be very regular in using the cream. I use it only at night, every single day. Either right after applying the aha serum to a freshly washed face or after using the neutrogena microdermabrasion system.
