rfriend82 16 Posted January 22, 2015 Anyone using anything for scars or skin firmness during your journey? Heard good reviews on bio oil and palmer's firming butter. Has anyone tried either or came across any other good products or adapted any good regimens? Not ready to use anything yet, just curious as to what may work for the near future.

Peekboo 472 Posted January 22, 2015 I haven't used anything special for the scars, just raw shea butter. I seem to be healing well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted January 22, 2015 @@rfriend82 - I'm using Scarfade gel. I used it for my face after my shingles. It smoothed out much of the scarring and pox marks from the scabs. I tend to keloid. I had an extra tube and have been using it on my incisions since they scabbed over. All but the 2 biggest ones are completely flat. If they are like the scars on my face the discoloration will fade over time. It's pricey, but worth it to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
