Hasn't worked yet but still trying

Pros:May reduce scars?
Cons:So far it doesn't. Smells.
The Bottom Line: I do not recommend this. It has no affect on my scar.
This product claims to reduce the visibility of scars. It says for new scars to use 3-4 times a day for 2-3 months. For older scars use 3-4 times a day for 3-4 months. It says to use a generous amount.
I am attempting to get rid of a poc (sp?) mark on my face from a pimple. Putting this stuff on 3-4 times a day was just impracticle for me. So I did it twice a day, morning and night, for 6 months. Admittedly I did skip on occasion. So I put on a generous amount. It is clear, which is good. But it smells funny. Hard to describe, almost like a skunk, but the smell does go away.
So I used it for 6 months. I eventually stopped for 2 reasons. First reason (and biggest) is because I was getting either a mole or a black head next to the treated area. I did not want this so I stopped hoping it would go away. It did. But there was NO affect on my scar.
So I'm back trying it again. I am being even more generous with the portion. I have been doing it for a few weeks, I don't notice a difference, nor do I notice the mole/black head yet. So I will update this review in a few months again.
It is very expensive in my opinion, $26.
Update: It is now the end of January, 5 mos later. After using it twice a day for a few mos and nothing happening, I got lazy and stopped using it again. The only thing that happened is that I got another black head next to the treated area. So my scar has not improved at all with all these months of using it. I have started back on it once again. Just once a day this time. I am using it on a newer mark too that looks like a large pore but it is from a pimple. If it actually ever works, I will update again. If no update, no good.
Recommended: No
