Scars have the best lightening success rate when they are more recent. Any scar treatment such as Mederma, ScarGuard, Aloe, and Vitamin E will help diminish the look of the scar but never completely make it invisible. The smaller and lighter it is to begin with, the better it will ultimately look. I am a believer of going with the simple stuff that will more than likely work as well as the expensive creams. Even the expensive $200 cream will never completely remove a scar or stretch marks.
Just make sure that whatever you decide to go with should be applied daily, sometimes multiple times in a day for a few weeks/months prior to seeing any improvement. Don't be discouraged if it's been a week and your scar still looks the same, just keep applying your cream.
I also wanted to point out that if your scar is recent, it should be protected from the sun for at least one year. A recent scar exposed to the sun will darken and instead you want it to do the opposite. Good Luck!
