You will hear about natural products in a host of scar removal products .Fortunately, medical research tackled common ingredients and whether they work as a scar reducer.
The results can help identify scar home treatment that can be effective.
A South Florida Medical Research Center studied topical scar compounds. The doctors evaluated silicone and vitamin E.
Vitamin E
- This natural substance is marketed in scar removal products.
- Pure vitamin E applied directly to scars is considered natural therapy.
The doctors reported “no significant” reduction in color or size of scars from Vitamin E applications.
Onion extract
A major Texas medical school put it to the test.
- They wanted to know if it reduced redness and itching.
- They also checked for change in the size of scars.
- People with surgical scars were evaluated.
- Only half were given an onion extract scar ointment.
The study found onion extract to be ineffective.
