I put straight Vit E on it. I've used Mederma and Bio Oil on my stretch marks and it didn't seem to make a difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/products-to-fade-a-dark-scar#post-865374 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:40:03 +0000 daniellemybelle 865374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions everyone! One of the products I mentioned above, Invincible Scars, has both silicone &amp; Vitamin C so I'm thinking I will try that since silicone products tend to be the best. Maybe I will combine it with Mederma? Mederma is kind of weird to me because they don't come out and say what their active ingredient is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/products-to-fade-a-dark-scar#post-863060 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 12:34:57 +0000 banana 863060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been using this for my c-section scar and it's been working wonderfully.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/ScarAway-Professional-Silicone-Treatment-Sheets/dp/B001AJ4L1E" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/ScarAway-Professional-Silicone-Treatment-Sheets/dp/B001AJ4L1E</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/products-to-fade-a-dark-scar#post-862972 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 12:10:41 +0000 BelugaBean 862972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Mederma on the scar on my forehead and it did a great job. I think the one I used also had Vitamin E in it. I'm not sure about using it during pregnancy but I would just ask your doctor or midwife. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/products-to-fade-a-dark-scar#post-862899 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:56:07 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 862899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used palmers cocoa butter on a huge surgery scar and it looks pretty good to me, granted its in an area that is only visible when I wear a swim suit so I'm not that self conscience about it since an ugly scar is probably the least of my bathing suit worries ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/products-to-fade-a-dark-scar#post-862831 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:42:09 +0000 sunshineandsushi 862831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried Kelo-cote on a keloid scar I have on my shoulder. I don't really feel like it did anything for it, but I think that's because I didn't start using it right when the scar was new and still healing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/products-to-fade-a-dark-scar#post-862797 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:34:46 +0000 alleyflowers 862797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB and another doctor recommended Maderma. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/products-to-fade-a-dark-scar#post-862638 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:38:08 +0000 Mrs. Bee 862638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my ob recommended kelo-cote but i've never tried it on myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/products-to-fade-a-dark-scar#post-862637 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:37:58 +0000 blackbird 862637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always been told to use vitamin e after surgeries. Definitely safe! Buy the pills and just prick the ends with a needle and squeeze it out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/products-to-fade-a-dark-scar#post-862634 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:36:00 +0000 daniellemybelle 862634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I'm gross and picked a scab on my knee, and now I have a super dark scar. I've been researching products to fade the scar because its so obvious when I wear skirts/dresses! Has anyone tried any of the below? I'm definitely open to other suggestions! Also, do you know if these should be safe during pregnancy?</p> <p>- Invincible Scars (Vitamin C complex)<br /> - Mederma<br /> - Bio Oil<br /> - Asian whitening creams like Eucerin Even Brighter </p>
