Cicaderm - 1.01 fl. oz. - Scar cream promotes natural skin healing and renewal

I have been using this cream on a few different areas of my skin and I do generally like it, but I do have some issues. I have been using it on some stretch marks on my stomach as they often feel quite itchy. I have found the cream to be very soothing and more pleasant to use than the likes of Bio-Oil. I haven't noticed any huge difference in the appearance of my stretch marks but I think that is something that just comes with time. In the cream's description, it does state that you can use it on cuts and abrasions. I often get small abrasions on my hands as a result of dermatitis and eczema. I was hoping this cream would be soothing and help heal them. Unfortunately, I found that it did really sting. I wouldn't mind if it just stung briefly and did make a difference. I didn't notice much of an improvement in my skin, compared to the normal creams I use, so I didn't feel the discomfort was worth it. I will finish up the bottle on my stretch marks but I will not buy another.

This should be ideal with the calendula and rosehip oils (I'm a fan of both) but so many other ingredients have been added, several of them alcohol based preservatives - and menthol! For a cream recommended for surgical scars I expected more purity.However, I’m now updating this review as I’ve persevered with this - the moisturising properties really do work very well, and it’s made my scar (major surgery less than 4 weeks ago) much more supple and less tight. It’s promoting the healing too, and I think in the long run this could be very good. So I’m giving it 4 stars, can’t go the whole 5 as it still costs £12 for a for a relatively small dispenser which won’t go far and I’d still advise wariness if you have very sensitive skin.
