How do Scars form?
When our skin is damaged many cells come to the rescue! Some cleanup, others make collagen to fill the cut. The collagen is like cement filling the space between two bricks, only this cement has to fill the gap and move at the same time!
Nature has handled this by intentionally making too much collagen and melting some of it as we heal. If we don't melt enough of it in this natural process of molding, a thick scar results.
What makes Scarguard work?
Topical silicone is the basis of most scar products that doctors have recommended since the early 1980s. An ingredient in makeup, hairspray and many other products that we use every day, doctors believe it is safe and effective in improving scar appearance.
Cortisone has many beneficial effects. A component of many non-prescription products for skin conditions such as eczema, sunburns and diaper rash, it is a known anti-irritant, helping reduce the discomfort often associated with scarring.
Vitamin E is an oil-based vitamin. Controversial, some think it helps improve scar appearance, other do not. We believe that it helps soften the scar as a moisturizer and lubricant at the very least, and is therefore, helpful.
Doctors have recommended silicone, cortisone, dressings and vitamin E for decades.
Until now, they were so difficult to use that patients quit before seeing the benefit.
Scarguard ScarCare® combines all of them into an easy to use clear liquid. Painted on overgrown scars it dries within seconds to a nearly invisible flexible film. When used daily, it helps improve the appearance of scars.

This did nothing for my c-section scar even when used diligently on a daily basis (2X/ day) for over 3 months.

Used this product until completely gone and see only slight change in appearance of my abdominal scar. Not sure if this was a normal change anyway since scar is still relatively new.

I have tried literally hundreds of products from mederma to black opal to try and minimize an unsightly scar on my face and a few blemishes, however those other products take 3 to 4 weeks before one notices any results or once you run out or stop using them, the area where one used the product gets darker, even while using SPF 15 or 30. Not wanting to pay $30 + dollars for scarguard I had nothing to lose. I tried it out and in a matter of one week I noticed a dramatic difference with no reoccuring dark spots. Your skin ACTUALLY sheds off in layers lifting the dark spots out. I would recommend this product for anyone of any skin type. P.S. As for the scar on my face, you can hardly tell that it's there.
