Recommended Scar Oils

There are some natural essential oils that work well with scar tissue: Rosehip oil is well-known and evidenced to help with scars and Lavender oil is also effective. Make sure that you use a carrier oil, and ideally a high-quality, organic oil.

Avoid perfumed creams, oils and gels that might irritate the skin.
