Product used: Bio-Oil (Skincare Oil)
Pros:
Works wonderful. Just had a total thyroidectomy with complications on Jan 30, 2009. Asked my husband to pick up some Bio Oil after googling. Total cost $8.00 at CVS. It is hehelping my scar and my skin and nails. I really like Bio Oil
Cons:
No cons to report.
In less than 4 weeks, my scar is not so swollen, is now pink and healing wonderful. The fragrance is wonderful and my skin feels wonderful. I not only see a noticeable improvement on my surgeical procedure, but my wrinkles, neck, hands and nails. Rememeber it is an oil, so don't expect it to penetrate your skin in nano seconds. Follow the directions in the box. I also like that it has natural ingredients in the oil as well. I love io Oil. I do not have scne. I googled this for scar treatment.

Product used: Mederma (Advanced Scar Gel)
Pros:
It lightens the area you treat.
Cons:
Must be used three times a day. Hard to use on such a small/tiny spot when it must to be rubbed in. Made my skin peel, discolored in a sense. The fragrance is not to my liking. Rather expensive.
I've used this with mixed results. After a few days the spot being treated would flake and peel, exposing new skin but not scar fee. It would usually be lighter and off color than the surrounding area. If it wasn't rubbed in, the gel would sit on top of the skin and flake off. After researching for reviews of the product, many have found its not better than rubbing a onion on your scars, the key ingredient of Mederma. In addition, I also read that keeping the scar moist prevents dark spots which leaves me to use Neosporin instead.

Product used: Emu Oil
Pros:
My friend got there face and arms burnt like a 3rd degree burn. The doctors put emu oil on their face and on his arms they put the net things. And the face skin was completely healed and no scars. The arms had scars and didnt really heal all the way.

I dont have any cons but so you all know. If you have a scar or scars dont ask your doctor about it because they will not recommened it.
It works great.

Pros:
not expensive, easy to apply
Cons:
slight burning sensation for a couple of seconds, but dont worry its not that bad at alll, it has a wierd odor, but once again, its not that bad
the one thing i dislike the most is the small amount you get. its not a lot at all, so buy in bulk
it works pretty well. ive been using it for a week now and i can see visible difference. i must say that this is NOT for bruises so the user who said his bruise didnt go away..its not for bruises! its for acne scars and acne.
