Hi all!

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

Lisa,

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
