My cosmetic surgeon gave me a sample of Scarfade and then I bought the full size. I've used it for about three weeks on a 1 inch scar under my chin but haven't noticed much improvement.


5 out of 5 stars scar gel results   September 4, 2008
I have been using Scar gel for almost one week 4x/day.My skin is beginning to heal and any pimples that occur(which I don't touch by the way),have been healing in a few days.The pimples on my nose(I have large pores),are healing for the first time in my life(nothing else worked).My skin glows and this product makes my skin tighter.Read about each ingredient and you will know that this product is the best,by far,than any for acne scars and any new acne that appears.It is half the price of Mederma as well.


2 out of 5 stars Siliconesheet has no documented effect, but can help the itching.   March 11, 2008

I have searched PubMed and found several research-reviews concerning silicone sheet/layer and scar formation. This abstract is from 2007 and the results are dissapointing. It seems like surgery and steroid injection are the primary interventions, and that silicone layer only has an effect on the itching - not the scar formation.

The linear (or "surgical") hypertrophic scar is the most common type of pathologic scarring. There has been a steady increase in the number of patients with hypertrophic scars over the years due to the rising number of operative interventions altogether. However, the therapeutic protocols are not homogeneous and they show significant variations. 200 cases with hypertrophic scars were treated by the authors from April 2001 to March 2004. 24 patients were selected in the study from these cases; and two randomized groups were formed. Each group included 12-12 patients, who were treated with either intralaesional steroid or silicone gel sheeting. The therapeutic protocols were defined by the authors. The aim of this study was to compare and determine the roles of these two commonly used treatment options of hypertrophic scars. The authors present patient demographics; and analyze the results and outcome of the study. Both methods were efficient significantly, however intralaesional steroid therapy had a more rapid effect and it lasted longer than silicone gel sheeting. These results confirmed the role of these two treatment modalities in the protocols. The authors concluded that silicone gel sheeting is the first line, while intralaesional steroid is the second line treatment for primary linear hypertrophic scars. Based on the authors' experience, in recurrent linear hypertrophic scars, intralaesional steroid therapy is recommended in first line, because silicone gel sheeting was largely ineffective. Prospective randomized clinical trials should be needed to further clarify their role in the treatment protocols.

4 out of 5 stars good so far!   January 28, 2008

The product was recommended to me by my plastic surgeon. I had a scar on my face that I am trying to revise. So, needless to say I am being very careful. I am applying as it has said (twice per day). The scar is healing nicely so far (about 1 month), but it is difficult to say whether it would have been worse without it. The surgery was 6 weeks ago, so it is still a young scar. The ridges that formed quickly are just now going down and the redness is lessening each day.

In contrast I have been using it on a scar I have had for 10+ years and the difference is slim to none, but I will keep using it there. Fortunately one tube goes a very long way.

I had a partial thyroidectomy in Sept. 2005. I have tried Vitamin E gel, Neosporin scar patches, comfrey oil, etc. Nothing worked as well as the Scar Fade. In just one month of use, I was impressed with the change. Definitely shop around. I paid $43 for the 15 g tube at a spa, but you can get it for much cheaper online.
