Best Scar Reducing Treatments of 2026

"Everyone's body is different, so I suggest doing your own research! This product acts FAST on me, and there's no sticky residue. It's a gel that dries quickly. I use it for small or big wounds, and I see results in 3-7 days. I haven't tried it on old scars since I'm not concerned about them anymore, but I might in the future! I found it delightful to use something I loved as a kid, especially for my injuries from falling off my bike and sports. It's scentless and non-irritating, and sometimes it even helps with mosquito bites!"

"I’ve used various scar products before, but this one is by far the best! My scar flattened quickly and is losing its redness. I highly recommend it, and you really don’t need to use much at a time!"

"As a new mom, I was dealing with a cesarean scar that wasn’t cute at all. I found Mederma and it worked like a charm! Within six months, my scar went from feeling rough to silky smooth. It’s easy to apply, not greasy, and I saw results within weeks. No irritation or breakouts either, just smooth sailing all the way. If you're struggling with a stubborn scar like mine, give it a shot. It’s like a magic eraser for skin woes!"

"I've struggled with acne scars for years, but after using this cream almost every night for two months, my larger, dark scars are noticeably lighter and smaller ones have nearly disappeared. I believe the key is consistent use, and honestly, this product has outperformed any other treatments I've tried. The smell isn't great—reminds me of cat litter—but the results are worth it for the price."

"I started using this cream for both fresh surgical scars on my face and older ones on my stomach, as well as stretch marks from pregnancy. Even after less than two months (and not always applying as often as recommended), each scar looks lighter and less obvious. You only need a little bit per use, so the tube lasts. I’m not a fan of the scent, especially when applying near my nose, but the improvement is worth it!"

"I bought this for my mom after her hip replacement and it’s become an essential part of her nightly routine. Her scar looks smoother and less visible, and she loves how it hydrates her skin without feeling greasy. She says it’s soothing to apply and has made the healing process much easier. It’s a fantastic choice for anyone wanting to care for scars overnight."

"After using Cicatricure Scar Gel for two months, I've seen real improvement in my acne scars—the texture of my skin is much smoother, and the marks are definitely fading. The gel is easy to apply and absorbs quickly without any greasy feeling, which is perfect for my face. Consistency and patience are key, but based on my progress so far, I’m optimistic for even better results with continued use."

"I was honestly surprised at how well this worked on a burn scar on my face. After a waxing mishap, I started using Cicatricure once the scab healed and, to my shock, the scar completely disappeared in less than two months. I made sure to apply it regularly, keeping a tube in my purse and gym bag. For me, it was far more effective than silicone tape—especially for facial scars."

"I’ve tried Cicatricure Advanced Scar Gel on both old and new scars for six weeks. The lightweight, non-irritating formula is great, and my older scars look a bit lighter and flatter. However, I noticed only slight improvement on new or deeper scars, so while it’s gentle and easy to use, the results are subtle and require patience."

"I've tried different silicone gels on my surgical scars, and this is the one that made a real difference—my scar is less red and bumpy, and it’s slowly flattening and fading. You only need a tiny amount, so the tube lasts a long time. It goes on clear and stays put, but if you’re thinking about wearing makeup over it, it might not blend well and can feel a bit sticky on the face. Still, for scar reduction, it’s the best store-bought option I’ve found."

"After several weeks of using ScarAway Scar Gel, I’m impressed with how much smoother and less red my post-surgical scar looks. The gel dries quickly, doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin, and is easy to layer under sunscreen or makeup. I also saw some improvement on older acne scars, though not as dramatic. You do need to be patient and apply it consistently, but it’s definitely worth it if you want to fade scars at home."

"This is the only scar product that actually worked for me. The tube is small, but it saved me from having to get dermabrasion! I’ll be buying more to keep up the results."

"I started using this after my husband's surgery, and the scar healed much better than previous untreated wounds. I loved being able to cut the tape to fit, and it was very simple to apply and remove. There's definitely less scarring visible now."

"After using these scar strips on my new surgical scar, I noticed it's almost flush with my skin instead of raised. The tape is reusable and easy to maintain—I just wash and dry it. Color is fading, and it stays put all day. Definitely a good choice for scar care."

"I had a pretty bad cut with 11 stitches, and using this tape made a huge difference. My scar became smoother, less raised, and my skin felt soft after use. It's easy to wash and keeps sticking afterwards. No residue left behind, and I even plan to try it on some wrinkles. Highly recommend!"

"After searching for something better than cocoa butter for my surgical scar, I found this product and it exceeded my expectations. I use it twice a day, and after two months my scar is almost invisible. It's not sticky or greasy, absorbs quickly, and causes no irritation. I highly recommend it to anyone dealing with scars."

"As a 44-year-old woman worried about facial wrinkles, I tried this stick after getting tired of using scar tape, which was a hassle and even ended up stuck to my cat! This stick is a total game changer—I use it around my eyes, on my '11's, nasal labial lines, and even my old Monroe scar. It instantly smooths fine lines and makes my skin feel amazing. No more annoying tape, and it works as a primer too."

"I love how this scar stick is so versatile—not only does it help with old acne marks, but I also use it on my wrinkles and as a primer for my under eye concealer. My makeup looks so much smoother and it provides the perfect level of moisture. Plus, there's no noticeable scent and the value is fantastic for the quality."

"After having a melanoma removed from my cheek, I started using these silicone bandages. They're almost invisible, stick extremely well—even through showers—and make my face look much better than I expected. I plan to use them for a while to keep my scar minimal."

"I used these on a thick, red, raised scar after hand tendon surgery. The improvement is dramatic—you can barely see the scar now, and the product stays on for several days even with hand movement. I'll definitely be buying more in the future."

"These scar sheets really do work if you’re patient. The adhesive is strong enough to withstand showering, and after using them for months, my long surgical scar is now barely noticeable. It’s the best product I’ve tried for scar care."

"I had two raised, scarred, and very itchy tattoos for years, and nothing seemed to help. After a month of using this product daily, the itchiness is totally gone and the scars feel smoother than ever. It's lightweight, absorbs quickly, and a little goes a long way. I honestly was about to resort to expensive laser treatments, but this gel has made all the difference. Highly recommend for tattoo and scar care!"

"Following my facial surgery, I was really worried about a large scar. Within a week of applying this twice a day, my scar was visibly lighter and the skin much smoother. Now, after a month, it’s just a light pink line and feels soft to the touch. Absolutely worth the investment, especially since I was told to use silicone gel by my doctor."

"After surgery on my leg, I started using this as soon as my incisions healed. My scars are noticeably softer and lighter compared to others who had similar procedures. I massaged in just a small amount twice daily, and the results have been impressive. Couldn’t ask for a better outcome for scar care."

"After my surgery, I started using this silicone scar tape as my dermatologist suggested. It was simple to cut and apply, stuck very well, and lasted much longer than I expected. Over a few weeks, my long chest scar became barely visible and much smoother. I’m truly impressed with the results—this tape will always be a must-have in my medicine cabinet."

"When my father-in-law had a thick, red burn scar, we tried these silicone sheets. They made the scar flatter, less red, and more comfortable—he doesn’t feel tightness or itching anymore. The tape is easy to customize, comfortable, and reusable. I absolutely recommend it for anyone wanting to improve the look and feel of scars."

"I’ve only used these scar sheets for two days and I’m already noticing a difference—my scar is smoother, less raised, and feels more hydrated. The sheets are soft, flexible, and comfortable to wear under clothes. I’m excited to see even more improvement with continued use. Highly effective and easy to use!"

"After my forehead surgery for skin cancer, I followed my dermatologist's advice and used these silicone pads. They offer just the right amount of cushion and blend really well with my fair skin, making them a discreet way to cover my scar instead of a bandage. I’ve noticed the pads are more effective than gel for flattening and reducing redness, especially when used overnight or after washing my face. While the stickiness isn’t quite the same after the second use, they still help keep my scar protected and less noticeable."

"I’ve been using this silicone scar tape for five months to treat my post-thyroid surgery scar and am genuinely impressed with how much flatter and less visible it’s become. The tape is soft, flexible, non-irritating, and easy to apply—even on my sensitive skin. I find it keeps the area protected and hydrated, and I love that I can cut it to size. Consistency is key for results, and though it loses some stickiness after a few uses, I’m happy with the improvement and would recommend it for anyone wanting a non-invasive solution for scars."

"These scar strips are comfortable, easy to use, and do their job well. They stick nicely on the first use and blend in well, which is important since I have to wear them on my neck. As the packaging states, you can wash and reuse them, but in my experience, they don't stick as well after washing. Still, I appreciate how they help protect my scar as it heals and am hopeful they’ll continue to reduce its visibility over time."
