    Not sure but I know someone who uses Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula that has Vitamin E in it and that has smoothed the scares and blended them in in just a few weeks. Obviously they are still visible but it's working quite well so far.

    I have lost of cuts and burns on the tops of my legs and I started using Bio oil about a week ago and I can really notice the effects already. There's a BIG difference if my scars and I have lots of new cuts that heal alot quicker too. Remember to appyly it 2 thimes a day generously. It really works and It had got to the stage for me that I didn't think anything would work but It really makes a difference (I'm not being paid by the company or anything lol!! it is really really good)

    I think it probably would or atleast make them less noticable. you should deffinatly give it a try, its ₤10 for a 60ml bottle in superdrug and that lasts about 2-3months if you apply it every day 3 times a day

    anything with vitamin e in it will help if you rub it onto your skin.
    is the scar recent or old?

    :yes: it was for you :p
    vitamin e then. buy some vitamin e capsules that you are supposed to swallow but break them open instead and rub it onto your scar. problem with old scars is they are very difficult to heal / make disappear. you could try concealement stuff like dermablend if you want to hide it though?!
