Vitamin E Oil

astonsmummy

Hi
I've just had a mole removed from my face which has left a 1 inch scar, i only had it done a week ago so am hoping it will skrink:o
Anyway someone recomended vitamin E oil, but have also been reccomended Bio oil, are they sort of the same thing or is it just a case of trying it out, i want to go with something thats not gonna be too expensive.

Hi Astomsmummy

Vitimin E is perfect for reducing scars - there is a company called SBC (simply beautiful cosmetics) that produce products just for therapists and professional treatments so their packaging is simple therefore you do not pay for it. 500ml cost about £20 which will last you ages and is brilliant.

Hiya, i had a cyst removed in Feb 2007 from my face. It left a one inch scar on my cheek. I've been using:


Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Cream with Vitamin E, Softens & Relieves Rough, Dry Skin.

Helps smooth and blend unattractive marks and scars. Tones skin. It is an excellent all-over-the-body moisturiser and after tanning butter. Recommended for stretch marks, during and after pregnancy.


£3.19 per 100 g in Boots. It's really helped.

My surgeon recommended anything that contained vitamin E.

Holland and Barrett do a pure vit e oil and its not too expensive,ive used it for about a year as part of my skincare routine.

Ha, thats the biggest joke of the century, the surgeon, or nurses told me nothing, sent me home with no info or instructions, i kept having to phone them for advice on things.
