I tried a bunch of scar treatments over the between 14 and 18 years post-op. I did several months of each treatment, applying at least once a day. Medical-grade 100% silicone gel (started around 14 years post-op) did nothing. Mederma (started around 15 years post-op) did nothing. Started using this and ... it softened my scars. Within a day I could feel a difference. It didn't affect the hyperpigmentation, but just the fact that they softened was a huge step. I apply it once a day after I shower, give it a minute or two before putting on my shirt, and that's it.
A guy I know tried both the CVS cream and the brand-name Eucerin cream that it's supposed to compare to. He found that the Eucerin was actually much less effective than the CVS brand.
