Scar recovery gel
This gel goes on very nice initially. It feels smooth and cool making one feel that it’s a healing balm on the scar tissue. All that said, if you want to wear it outside or under/over makeup, be aware that it will flake. I don’t believe I’ll purchase this again.

The Only Scar Cream That Works
After a suspicious mole (thankfully benign) was removed by my plastic surgeon - he recommended - rather, he actually insisted - that I use Skin Medica Scar Recovery Gel. He advised that it is the only effective scar treatment. He advises all his patients to use it to resolve scarring. He was right. Skin Medica Scar Recovery Gel made a facial scar virtually unnoticeable. It is highly effective and requires such a small amount of product. It is a miracle in a tube. At first it does make the area pink but that quickly resolves and you literally watch the scar disappear following the 2x a day regimen. I recently had a single stitch after a puncture biopsy -(again thankfully benign) and Skin Medica Scar Recovery Gel is in the process of working its magic. Highly recommend this product.

Works great
I’ve been using on saves from surgery for about 3 weeks and see a big difference already . They went from dark red to light pink and improving more every day

So Cool!
I have been rubbing this lovely scar cream into a large surgical scar on the top of my foot. It also massages in like an oil. I recommend it to anyone who wants to rid themselves of an unpleasant scar.

SCAR RECOVERY GEL
This is a nice, thick gel so it applies easily. It dries quickly so your clothes don't get sticky. A little bit goes a long way. I have only been using it a few weeks on a fresh scar so can't really tell if it has made much of a difference yet. If you have a large scar I would suggest you order the larger size.

New scars=reordered!
I first used SkinMedica’s Scar recovery gel after having Mohs surgery on my face. It was a terrible triangular scar just below my nose. I used the gel morning and night and after a year, there was quite an improvement. At that point I was at the dermatologist for a checkup and asked if she thought it might improve any more, and she said she thought it was as good as it was going to get. But I persisted, and yes it was 2 years in all, but it did improve and many friends have said it’s not even noticeable any more. So now I’ve had a rotator cuff surgery, which left 5 small scars. Got a brand new tube. It will work again. Get it and don’t give up. It totally pays off.

Amazing
I had Mohs surgery on the front of my calf and was concerned about the size and prominence of the scar. My esthetician recommended this product. I have been using it about a week and scar is hardly noticable. I highly recommend this product!

This really made a difference in my scar after surgery
I had ankle reconstruction surgery last November and the scar was terrible! I tried SkinMedica after first trying another expensive brand but this one wins out by far! I tried one with allantion and the scar felt slightly moisturized but nothing more and then I found out you can buy it in a drugstore for like 5 bucks. When I found the SkinMedica my scar actually started healing! Not only does it look 100 percent better but I felt like I previously had nerve damage and all the feeling came back after I started using this. My boyfriend even said he can barely see the scar now. It's a miracle worker!

SkinMedica Skin Recovery Gel with Centelline
I have been using this SkinMedica Skin Recovery Gel with Centelline for a couple of weeks. The scar is from January near my eyebrow. I was using samples I had received from my dermatologist. In my opinion, this scar gel is taking the redness out of the scar. I am happy with the results so far. Makeup and concealer go on smoothly over the gel.

Minimal difference
I was hoping for more with this, but even with consistency, I saw a very minimal difference with the scar I purchased it for.

Scar Recovery Gel
I used this after glute repair surgery and it worked well. I am fair skinned and the scars were quite raised. After using this my scars are hardly noticeable. I purchased this recently for my husband as he just had biceps tendon repair and has scars as well. Great product.

A Miracle in a Bottle
This is by far amazing! You see results in such a short amount of time. It lightens the scar gradually with time. But I had a tummy tuck in September 2021 and it’s July 2022 and you can’t even tell the separation of the skin where I had the surgery. Love love! Would totally recommend.

100% Worth it!
If you have a scar you want gone, I HIGHLY recommend this cream! For weeks I was using an alternative brand (claiming to be the best) without any results. I started to see results within a few days after using the SkinMedica scar gel. A scar that I’ve had for nearly a year is now significantly faded after just a few weeks of use. There aren’t many products that live up to expectations but this one exceeded mine. I would highly recommend trying this scar gel!

So far so good!
Love Skinmedica products. Have some scars I'd like to lighten, so I thought I would try this. Been using for a few weeks, and my scar is getting lighter. A little goes a long way.

Amazing healing
I had bilateral hand surgery. Since I am allergic to adhesive, my incision sites looked inflamed. My surgeon told me to apply this gel twice daily rubbing it in circular motion. My scars look amazing. People do not notice the scars at all. Highly recommend!

Like Magic!
I bought this gel in hopes it would help heal an ugly scar on my husband’s forehead. I noticed a difference after a week or so. The scar has subsided in size and is slowly fading. I don’t think it will disappear altogether but it doesn’t look as gnarly now.
