I recently had a few small lumps removed and dermatologist recommended using silicone based scar gel immediately to reduce scarring. I've only been using a few weeks on new wounds, so can't say how effective it really is yet. However, I love that it's fragrance free. It's easy to use %26 overall good price for the amount you get. It does take about 15 minutes to totally dry - which is annoying, but once it dries it seems to last most of the day. I apply twice per day %26 hope it helps keep scarring at a minimum. Once dry, you can't see it's there. I don't recommend wearing under makeup, if you have to wear makeup in the wound area, I would dab this on gently after makeup is applied. This does NOT have sunscreen which I know is highly recommended to reduce scarring- but I'm allergic to sunscreens - so this works great for my needs.
