No. The only thing it will do is make your skin softer. Try specially formulated scar reducing cream. Apparently these really work. They might not get rid of the whole scar, but they will make them profoundly fainter.

CoCo butter will help if you have stretch marks Vitamin E cream or Arnica Cream will help scars go away. Shea Butter is basicallyy a moisturizer.

To prevent stretch marks and scars effectively use cocoa butter or a mixture of olive oil and herbs. You can find more cheap and natural remedies for stretch marks and scars at

Not usually, since those products are mostly for moisturizing, and sometimes if skin is moisturized it looks healthier. But you need a product that is designed to heal the scar and have new skin develop. Something with silicone in it usually is best. They sell products like this in the drugstore, in strips that you can cut to shape and stick to the scar.

Nope.....even though some companies try to tell you their products work they don't. I think there is some sort of expensive laser thing that can get rid of scarring....plastic surgeon can help..
There was some study on vitamin E oil but they found that it was the massaging of the site and not the oil itself that reduced the amount of the scarring.

No, other than microdermabrasion, laser treatment, or surgery (tummy tuck) no cream, lotion or potion will make stretch marks go away. They MIGHT make them less noticeable, but take it from someone with four kids ( including a set of twins) nothing makes them go away.

Yes.........they lighten them. I use the Palmer's oil and lotion...it smells soooooooooo good and keeps your skin soooooooo smooth.........also Vitamin E oil works too. My Dad just had foot surgery and they had to make a cut on top of his foot and the doc gave him a creme to diminish the scar and it contained Vitamin E oil.............................

It can help them to fade faster, but it can't make them go away
