What do you find works best for clearing up scars and for loosening the skin.
We've always been told Vitamin E is best. I recently heard of Bio Oil. Anyone use that?
What products work for you?
Thanks

My docs also gave me Aquaphore and I used it for about a month and it worked great. My skin is also sooooo soft now. LOL
