Advantages: reduces,even removes scars Disadvantages: not cheap,smells a bit like fish
...go as I have used Palmers cocoa butter before and I knew that worked.
The packaging.
It comes in a small glass bottle, it's really sturdy so you don't need to worry about dropping it!
It has a pump dispenser which, as the serum is so thick, can be a bit hard.
The ingredients.
The main ingredients in this are Vitamin E (1000) which are renowned for their scar reducing abillities.
The second most ingredient is Shark Liver oil, which stimulates ... ...application.
It is very thick and sticky,you only need to apply a small amount at a time as it absorbs very slowly. It's very gloopy so if you do apply too much it will just slide down.
The smell.
It contains shark liver oil, so naturally there is a fishy smell present.
It's not very strong but it is noticeable to the wearer.
Does it work?
Yes it does! I applied it 3 times a day for 3 weeks after I took the dressing off and the scar completely ...

Advantages: scars gone Disadvantages: smelly and sticky
Got your attention! Just some of the ingredients. Sounds like something a witch would add to a potion. I wonder if they added the eye of a newt as well. They don't say. But there is definitely acetate cocoa butter, dimethicone, tocopheryl and lost of vitamin E in it.
PRICE
At that point all the palmer's products were on half price offer in superdrug so it cost me £3.99. I think now it is about £8.99 in shops
PACKAGING
It comes in a 30ml glass ... ...little pump. It is then placed in cardboard (companies just love wasting trees)
WHAT IS IT LIKE
sticky yellowish fluid. Kind of reminds me of honey. Smell is a mixture of cocoa butter and onion (nice). If you ever smelled shark liver than you'll probably will be able to pick that smell out as well, as shark liver oil is one of the ingredients.
DOES IT WORK.
surprisingly YES, I used it on acne scars and it works miracles. You can see results from ...

Quick review of Palmers Scar Serum
I have been using Palmers scar serum on my forehead for four months now. i got a bad burn and had been left with a 4 cm red scar that had refused to close. I tried so many moisturisers and elizabeth arden burn cream. . It is in a small bottle but lasts a long time a bottle on my scar would last two months apply 3 times a day. it is a thick texture that feels sort of sticky and shiny and is water proof. . My scar has faded 50% and redness 80% but expect to use for many months or longer on a bad scar. there is a slight cod liver oil smell when new bottle first opened. no smell after few days. ...

Advantages: Works quite well Disadvantages: Smells TERRIBLE, Sticky
...so decided to try this Palmers Scar Serum, which is said to help combat : "scars resulting from surgery, injury, burns, acne, stretch marks, C-section, cuts, scrapes, and insect bites". It contains 5 'strong' ingredients to help reduce such marks - one of these being shark liver oil.
However, upon opening the serum, and applying some to my legs - the smell made me want to HEAVE. Quite literally. It smells like rotting fish, and to be honest - the ... ...hoping it would smell like the other products in the 'Palmers Cocoa butter' range (as it says it is under this range on the box), but it couldnt be more different to the lovely chocolatey smell of the cocoa butter moisturisers etc.
Due to the smell I couldnt even face the thought of applying any to my acne scars on my face !!
Its very sticky and definately couldnt be applied before going out ! It doesn't absorb well and almost feels greasy and ...

Quick review of Palmers Scar Serum
I haven't used this product for too long but it seems to have worked a little bit...
It is very thick and doesn't absorb very well so you can't really wear it when you're going out or anything. I put it on my face after I've had a shower.
The smell. It really isn't that noticeable at all. It's only a slight smell.
Do I recommend it? Yes. ...

Advantages: the price, easy to find at stores Disadvantages: too sticky, the texture is absolutely horrible
...i have used other palmers products such as the moisturisers fragrance and non fragrance free, plus the one in the green bottle with the alpha hydroxy was one of the best of its range.
like the first review i believe that if you do have a strong stomach and can bear the smell and hte texture of the scar serum by all means have a go.
I do reccomend however for those looking for a good moisturiser that is not sticky and smells great, to go for the ...

Advantages: It works. Disadvantages: So what if it smells?
This stuff may stink but who cares... it works wonders. If you care more about minimising and reducing your scars... then get over the fact it smells funky and is thick and go buy it! I've been using it for three days and it's amazing. It's healing at lightning speed. Admittedly my scar is in the process of forming... a wound which has finally closed up so I am able to apply the serum, and when you treat a scar at this stage rather than an old one, ... ...absorbed really well, it took awhile but it got there. I also covered it up with burn-gauze, which helps to minimise the smell and absorb the oil.
If you have an injury you are fearing will scar then buy this, use it as soon as the wound has closed up, and don't whinge about the stink. Because it's so worth it. ...
