Can Applying Creams with Avocado Oil Help Remove Old Scars?

Question

I had some dark scars due to a skin allergy 5 years ago and want to remove them. The pharmacist recommended me Blckmores Vitamin E Cream which I want to ask if it is effective or whether there are better scar removal products.

There are several applicable scar creams available for different purposes. Plato's scar serum is excellent for hypertrophic, fresh, and old scars to help smooth a scar and reduce thickness. Melarase PM can be used to help reduce pigmentation and PIH.
They can be used together or separately.

I havent heard this one yet. Hopefully you aren't allergic to it! I have seen allergy to certain nuts, avocado, banana skins, and mango skins. Test it first on your forearm before you put it anywhere near your face.
