i heard of scar reduction with vitamin E (which is found in olive oil btw) but you would have to take a high dose and take it from the moment you have the wound. After the wound is healed, when scar tissue is already formed, its said vitamin E doesn't help anymore ...

Adelle Davis in Let's Get Well has a chapter on scars and how to deal with them. She recommends Vitamin E oil applied to scars and 400 IU taken internally twice daily.
MSM cream can also be used and MSM powder or pills taken internally. See The Miracle of MSM by Dr Jacob and Lawrence. There is some real science to support these methods; I have seen no reports on Lemon juice and Olive oil. Not to say it may not help, though.

I would recommend Jojoba Oil for pimple and scars. Jojoba oil can help lighten marks and scars. If you have a scar anywhere on your body, apply jojoba oil to the area to help it fade. Jojoba oil is particularly good for skincare. It penetrates into the skin and does not clog pores. It can be used on all skin types. It contains vitamin E and antioxidants which are great for fighting aging signs and moisturizing the skin. In addition it is also antibacterial making it great for treating acne breakouts. Jojoba oil works in two ways. First its moisturizes your skin first and then diffuses into the skin to soften and smooth. So with regular application acne scars and other skin conditions can be lessened and in many cases healed completely. Just use a few drops of jojoba oil into your hand, and massage into the skin - if your face looks oily after application you have probably used a touch to much. No need to rinse off, leave it on and the skin will absorb the oil. Hope this helps!

I never heard that. I have heard that massaging cocoa butter on scars helps make them fade. I think there is a product on the market called something like Mederma that is supposed to make scars disappear.

I know oil oil does . Honey, Chile powder, and golden seal, while helping to reduce scar also fight infection when applied to an open wound.
