Vitamin E oil, BioOil and Rosehip Oil are all really really good

I absolutely agree with these 3 products, they are good at reducing scarring and preventing them as well as fixing scars that has already settled.

The younger the scars the easier they are to deal with. This is because scars are formed by scar tissue and you can affect the way it settles with treatment. But, you can add elasticity to scars plus you can make them lighter. The key is persistence. Every single day morning noon and night apply your chosen treatment. I know of many success stories using bio oil so I will recommend that one tight off the bat - I am not discrediting other brands though.

Taking a vitamin E supplement - this also helps.

Thanks so much for your advice Amanda! I will definitely check out Bio Oil.

Apply lemon juice to the scar.
Use honey.
Consider using aloe-vera gel.
Massage olive oil over the scar.

A little vitamin E dabbed on the skin can remove stretch marks, clear up scars and even heal wounds.
