Silicone Gel for scars

[Calvincat]

Has anyone used anything like this for scars on their face? I've just acquired one after some surgery to remove a minor skin cancer, so looking for advice.

Hi, I have used it and thought it was ok and helped with the flattening, I also would massage my scars with rosehip oils which really helped me. I also use a vitamin c serum and take lots of vitamins for the skin. I can definitely see improvement.

I use a scarsil - silicone gel for the face. Works really well and flattens and softens scars nicely

I’ve ended up getting some Dermatix. So fingers crossed this will have an impact. Though the way things are right now, a scar is the least of my worries all things considering...

I use remescar stick. Its ok. Softens an moisturizes The scar to make it look smoother. Regarding The long term results I do not know yet. I also believe in using a good silicone based primer to smooth The skin when wearing makeup or on its own. I can recommend The one from Beautyblender. It can be built up in layers abit if needed and has a slight tint which can reduce The appearance redness. Worth a try if you are interested.

I have used them, I prefer to use lotions and serums. Also is good to massage the scar every night. The best thing I’ve found for scars is to get a steroid injection, it helps a lot. You will probably have to see a dermatologist to get the shot though.
