Nice soothing product for initial treatment, but you may want to find an add'l healing product too...
This is a non-greasy soothing gel with a 'slight' cooling feel. In terms of scar reduction, it didn't offer much for my situation. I had a punch biopsy in the middle of my cheek. When I inquired with my derm about a product for healing to hopefully reduce scarring, I was told to use petroleum jelly, and was given a ketchup size packet. Initially, it worked as a nice neutral occlusive, but should you wish to aid in redness, and scar reduction, petroleum alone will likely not do enough. Because the biopsy site was in the MIDDLE of my cheek, I continued to search for something to additionally aid in healing & scarring reduction. After using the recommended packet of petroleum for a week or so, I then tried a topical that a friend (who works for a derm) had offered. It turned out that this was just another occlusive of petroleum, with the addition of silicone... surprise, this didn't do much to reduce swelling, or redness. (I am quite fair with natural red undertones.) I eventually found, "Avene Cicalfate+ Scar Gel" mentioned here in reviews, and decided to give it a go. For the price point, and soothing feeling, I give this an 'A'. It's a gentle product for minor wounds once you're past the point of an open wound. In terms of the reduction of redness and swelling, it offered some relief. However, I think because I was a little late in finding/using the product, AND because I am fair skinned and naturally have red undertones, the site is still red 6+ months out. I do think this helped, but it probably did a more for pain relief. If I had this to do over, I would have used petroleum jelly for the first 5-7 days, then "Avene Cicalfate+ Scar Gel" to reduce pain/swelling, and in the interim consult a good esthetician regarding an additional product to aid in cell turnover and tissue repair.
