My c-section scar was raised and red for a long time. It made me self conscious. My husband gets mad at me when I spend too much money on beauty products. But sometimes you get what you pay for. I swore by Mederma until reading a bunch of studies that it’s esentially like putting on petroleum jelly. Mederma is not very expensive, but a lot more than pet-jelly. I started looking for something else, and found that silicone is very important. So I tried strips and some silicone creams. I found that Invicible is an awesome.I prefer to buy in a store, but there’s a trial on the website.
