Good so far
I love this in place of silicone. The silicone pills and this goes on smooth. My only wish is that I could spread it more easily. I feel like I’m using a lot of product to cover my t tuck scars

Ive been using this gel for a few weeks and haven't noticed any difference yet. I'm hoping it works but doesn't seem to do much

SM Scar Gel
This works! It’s definitely helping to fade this massive incision scar on my arm. I had a spot of melanoma removed from my forearm last year and it left me with a bright red scar from the incision plus red spots from the stitches. The incision no longer has any redness and the spots are nearly gone. It looks so much better now since I started using it and I used scar tape for weeks prior to starting this. I think it might work just as good if not better than the scar tape. I definitely recommend

It worked!
Tried this product for the first time. Had two fresh scars on my arm, scars were gone within a couple days, I didn’t even cover them with bandaids. Hoping that it works as well on my face. Is a little pricey but it’s a fairly large tube, depends how large the area is you’re treating I guess, and for how long

This scar gel is working amazing for my reconstructive scares

AMAZING
I suffered a trimalleolar fracture on Christmas 2024. My operation required 2 seperate incisions, one of which ran from the bottom of my foot up my leg 4 inches and another 2 inch incision over my ankle bone. When my stitches were finally removed, I began liberally applying the scar recovery gel and topping it with Skin Ceuticals Hydra Balm and wrapping lightly with gauze for 12 hours per day. After only 5 months from surgery, doctors would call other doctors in to look amazed at how the scars are virtually undetectable. Everyone who has looked at the scars are shocked and they all want to know what I used. This product is really beyond amazing!

SkinMedica Scar Recovery Gel with Centelline
My doctor recommended this to me to use following breast reconstructive surgery. I've been using it twice daily for 3 months. It's a little too early in the healing process to tell if it's working to take away the scars. The bright pinkness of the scars has definitely gotten better as well as flattened out. I'm told it will take up to a year in the healing process so I'm hopeful that using the gel with assist in lightening the scars

I love Skinmedica
I have used some similar ingredients for post-operative scarring before, but I feel better knowing this is a medical-grade product, and I expect medical-grade results! I apply it to my incision scars throughout the day and rotate its use with scar sheeting + a healing serum from a different brand. This is the perfect size for taking on the go too. I am a believer in Skinmedica's efficacy

Highly recommend
I Recently fell and needed five stitches below my eyebrow. I researched and decided To purchase this scar recovery gel. It’s been almost 3 months and I’ve used it daily It seems to be making a visible improvement in my Scar. Even my aesthetician was impressed

Good for redness
I have used in the past and got good results. Had another surgery years later and this scar is so red. Using silicone strips with slight pressure helps flatten, but didn’t address my redness. Just by applying few times in between it has lightened redness already

It works — and quickly!
I love this scar gel! I've been using it twice daily for two months. I could tell almost immediately that it seemed to soften, whiten and level out or smooth over a few facial keloid scars. I highly recommend this product!

SkinMedica Scar Recover Gel with Centelline
This recovery gel is good. I am using it post-procedure as the doctor advised to use a scar recovery product. The cost for such a small amount is the only reason I have deducted one star. The size of the tube does not look like the photo of the product. It is a very slim cylindrical tube not wide and flat appearing like the photo. I will likely need to reorder as I do not think the product will last long enough. I'd also like to have it around as a staple to aid in any future wound healing

Great!
Noticed improvement within a few days

Just ok
I have a few recent scars on my face from surgery. Used this product for over a month with no major wow factor. I’m sure product helped since the scars aren’t red, but one scar is still slightly raised. I had no allergic reactions, gel wasn’t sticking and dried relatively quickly. Though as expensive as it was, I expected more results. I used this product exclusively on several scars and vitamin e on another and the scar I put vitamin e on looks better. I wouldn’t recommend due to the price and lack of great results

Scar Recovery Gel
Have been using this gel for three weeks but my red surgical scar has no improvement. However that doesn’t mean it won’t work for someone else. Just didn’t work for me

Irritated my sensitive skin
I began using this gel after two-weeks post-op from breast lift surgery. Within a few days of applying, the treated skin became inflamed and irritated so much so that my surgeon told me to cease using it completely. I would not recommend for sensitive skin
CustomerVerified Purchase
Not so sure
I purchased this to use on two large incisions that resulted from a major nerve repair surgery. I love SkinMedica products so even after reading some of the other skeptical reviews, I decided it was worth a try. The size of the tube is tiny but you don't need much. This product leaves a weird residue on your skin and actually made my skin peel and itch in certain areas. I started using it about 2 weeks after surgery so maybe it was too soon. I am going to wait until 2 months post surgery and try again on a smaller spot. Maybe this is meant for smaller plastic surgery types of incisions but not so great on major scars

Not my favorite
Three months ago I had surgery on my throat which left a very thin red scar. I tried this product for about three weeks however it just wasn’t my formula it seems to dry and then crack which doesn’t seem like it’s doing an effective job of treating the area
