Have any of u used any lotions/gels for our surgical scars?? do they really work?

Science says no, at least not any better than using vaseline or aquaphor and keeping the scars covered:

What has been shown to work are the silicone scar sheeting products such as Scar Away and Cica Care.

I used mederma for a large 6"+ incision on my elbow and it helped thin out and keep the scar manageable.

It might have healed the same way without using it, but I was happy with the results I had (placebo or not). I'd stick with what Bufflehead said.
