I am not new to skin oils and scar treatments. I gave this 4 stars because it just needs more time. Keep in mind that scarred or damaged skin still follows your body's natural regeneration cycle and it can take a long time to see results. For me, it is too soon to tell on this product if it says it does all it claims; but I can tell you that I love the way my skin feels, the smell is kind of nice when you get used to it, and there is nothing in the list of ingredients that could hurt rather than help. It also helped elasticity during the driest of northern winters. I bought a little to start and then just got the big bottle since the rest of the family started to use it too!
